web design newbie needs help with links

[dawn]

Okay, admittedly, I probably should have started out by using one of the
Publisher templates and worked my way up to designing a custom site, but here
I am. I have the design part done but can't figure out the hyperlinks.

For better or worse, here's what I've done. Each page of the site I've built
is a different document. I'm not sure what to name them in the "Page Setup"
or if that makes a difference. I read that the index page (I did learn that
much in all this) should the name of your websites, so, for the sake of
argument, let's say I named it "bysbs.com". I can get this page to show up
when I upload them to my ftp, but the links I created to the other pages of
the site don't work.

An example, I have a page called "Services". So, when I created the
hyperlink on the nav bar, I called it "http://www.bysbs.com/services.htm", I
called the document "Services" and it is located in the same folder as the
index page, and I named the page "bysbs.com/services" in Page Setup. Can
anyone give me a naming template or point me in a direction of some help for
this, please? What do I name the subpages in Page Setup? What should the
hyperlink be? Am I asking the right questions?

Help please. I make really good chocolate chip cookies, and I have a post
office just minutes away.

Peace,
Dawn

Rather than custom build links consider creating new website pages using one
of the templates. Remove what you don't want and then open your existing
site file with a second Publisher program start and do a Copy/Paste into the
new template.

Naming the pages in page setup is the least of importance. Publishing them
as the correct "htm" file is. The services page should be published as
services.htm. As long as your main page is published as index.htm the rest
of the pages may be published with any name.htm as long as the hyperlinks
reflect the correct name. The real URL will help here for more detailed
help along with the versions of publisher and the browsers you are using.
