index.htm issue with Google

[Bob Fliegel]

I'm webmaster for www.missmariescharmschool.com. When I click on the Google
citation for this site, www.missmariescharmschool.com/index.htm, the home
page to which I am taken is missing the navigational buttons/links in the
left margin. Why might this be the case? Thanx.

Because you have 2 home pages...one is index.htm one is index.html you
should only have one...one that your server requires - which appears to be
index.htm

Delete the unneeded one and eventually Google will re-index you.

Because the default page for your site is index.html. When you don't
specify a page but only a folder then the server will look for the
default page and present that.
You may want to remove index.htm or set it to redirect to index.html

No, I have only one homepage, which I have since renamed as an .html page. If
I type www.missmariescharmschool.com/index.html as the URL, the nav buttons
appear as they should. But if I use index.htm, the nav buttons remain
missing. I should think that, when Google recrawls the site, the displayed
link will be the .html link and all will be well.

Works fine here.
Both:
www.missmariescharmschool.com
and
www.missmariescharmschool.com/index.html
work fine
http://www.missmariescharmschool.com/index.htm
returns a page not found 404 error

I have removed the former.
