......A small site using FP, do i have to name the pages
www.*****************.com/index and www.*****************.com/blahdeblah.html if
you get my drift???.......as it is now, ive got one called index.html, one
called page 2, one called pictures.html etc etc is this alright until i'm ready
to put them on the server, or do i need to start fresh pages each time with the
above proper website names on each one?
Can i rename the pages to www.com/index etc now, or will i need to start again -
each time I've tried to rename a page it hasnt worked!

TIA

The pages in your local site need to be named index.htm pictures htm and
so on.
They even remain named this way after publishing.
When a visitor clicks on your URL www.yoursite.com the browser queries the
server at the URL location with an http request and the server then delivers
index.htm as the default page on the server.
Then your links on the index.htm simply go to pictures.htm etc etc. The
server will know that pictures.htm lives in your web site, and where to find
it.

If you're working on local machine to design first then Publish online, you can name the web ANYTHING you want on your local machine...it could be Phil, Fred or Jack...doesn't matter what you call it locally.

Create one index.htm (index.html, default.htm, default.html --whatever your server requires).

Once you have the page built locally you Publish up to your server...http://www.philsonlinewhatever.com/ the server will take care of the rest.

I believe you're confusing file names with locations. A URL (Uniform
Resource Locator) is an indicator of the location of a resource. as such,
like a file location, it includes not only the file name, but the complete
path to the file. On your local machine, a path begins with a drive letter,
as a drive is the highest element in your file system hierarchy. On the
Internet, a domain is the highest level of the hierarchy, so a complete
Internet address begins with the domain name or IP address of the machine
where the file is stored. Only hte last part of the URL is the file name.
The rest is location.
