    Default Do I need .html after all my hyperlinks?

    Do I need .html after all my hyperlinks? Because I cant find where the pages are in my cPanel.

    Sorry I am not a computer wizard. Just trying to get my website up and running ASAP.

    Hi, just name your pages with a name only & no extensions IE:.....
    contact_us OR
    contactus

    Good luck

    I did and it seems to me that Collecters-info and the tutorial are telling me two different things.

    So I DO put .html after all HYPERLINKS? or Just PAGE NAMES?

    Just PAGE NAMES will work fine.
    Bv will auto give it a BVP extension & when it publishes the page will auto convert to a html extension?

    Questions.

    1. So when I save as a precaution do index.htm and contact.html?
    2. Also where in cPanel can I find these pages?

    When saving pages, dont give them an extension.

    When linking or assigning hyperlinks you do.

    Your pages when you go thru cpanel you use the file manager, first go into public_html and you will see them there if its the main domain.

    For naming your pages: no extension required. Automatically done by BV when published.

    For hyperlinking: It will be necessary to use the extension e.g. http://www.filtrex.com/contactus.html

    In control panel, open the file manager. Then open the public_html folder to see your files.

    Remember, you must do the hyperlinking before publishing.


    Oach. Karen, you are faster on the mouse than me....

    Essentially, all I need to do is publish my pages with the appropriate names and the program will do the rest? (As long as I have my domain)

    I hyperlinked the pages but I forgot to add the .html extension. If i go back and fix it then re-publish it will it replace the old one?
