Setting pages

[The Night Fox]

This is probably a really simple problem, I've probably just overlooked something...

Anyway, I've been using BlueVoda to build my site, I just uploaded the homepage a few minutes ago. It's uploaded and in my File Manager.
However, it isn't set as my homepage. This makes sense, I can't really expect it to know what I want each upload to be, however I don't know how to set it as the homepage for my site.
Any links to tutorials or just help in general would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Setting pages

The first page of every website must be saved as, & published as "index" - nothing else! no Capitals etc.
If you choose to title it as "Home" or whatever, that's fine, but the 1st. page must always be published as 'index'.
By the way, it's only necesary to hit the "publish" button, when ready, to get pages on the web.
hope this helps,

Re: Setting pages

OK, I've done that and the homepage is now up, but what do I do next? I've got two other pages to post, what do I need to publish them under?

Re: Setting pages

after the index page, you might have about us, products and so on. so just publish them as you publish the index page.

Re: Setting pages

Yes, but say I publish a page that is titled "About Us" on my computer, where will it appear on the site? .com/aboutus ?

Re: Setting pages

"About Us" , "Products" first will appear in your index / home page.
When click at "About Us" then will bring us to see "About Us" page and
click at "Products" then will bring us to see "Products " page.

Re: Setting pages

I'm not sure I understand. The homepage, which I uploaded as index displays when I just go the URL, the .com . When I upload another page, it should be .com/something, right? But what will it default to? The name of the file I uploaded (such as .com/about), or something else?

Re: Setting pages

what is your URL.
if you save the other page as aboutus, it will be
yourdomain.com/aboutus.html or
yourdomain.com/aboutus.php

don't worry! just try to publish the other page, then you will see how it comes out.

Re: Setting pages

...the tutorials really are a big help when getting started. Why don't you invest a little time & check them out? You'll probably save more time in the long run.............beginning here for example

Re: Setting pages

Oh yeah, the tutorials are great. However in this case the ones I watched didn't help.

Re: Setting pages

You should really watch them all and that will help with anything you need to do.
