Stephen,

You're almost there.

You need to create an "index.htm" file in your webspace.

The following lot of pages loads up fine by the way:

You need to put your Home Page in the directory above http://watsontree.rootschat.net/watsonfam/ .  When you log into the file manager you'll see a folder named "watsonfam".  You need your "index " file in the area you first come to when you open the file manager, alongside that folder.

Good luck - as Trystan says the other pages are in place.

Stephen

the links on the "index" page don't point to html pages in the http://watsontree.rootschat.net/watsonfam/  directory; instead they point to those files in the main directory eg http://watsontree.rootschat.net/pafg01.htm

So you need to re-upload the non-index files to teh main directory (or edit the links on your index page).

Hope this helps!
