THIS WEEK'S JOB // Build the folder your whole website will live in, and learn to never lose a file again. (Book pages 70-80 in Mrs. Gaiser's book.)
THE THREE IDEAS
A website is a folder
One folder holds everything: pages, images, styles. Move the folder, the site moves with it. Lose the folder, the shop burns down. We do not lose the folder.
Names have rules
Lowercase, no spaces, hyphens between words: my-page.html, not My Page (FINAL) 2.html. Browsers and servers are picky so we are consistent.
index.html is the front door
Servers look for a file named index.html first. Your home page gets that exact name, always.
ON YOUR LOT
Create your website folder with an images subfolder inside, exactly as the book shows. This folder is your lot; everything you build lives here from now on.
