System Notices


Default web page?
Any of these pages will be your default web page upon reaching http://chapters.sme.org/yourchapternumber
index.htm   index.html   homepage.htm   homepage.html
Please have only ONE of these names in your home directory. See an HTML book for questions.

Case
Please note that we've moved to a modern Unix web server which is case-sensitive. This means that file names in links must always be spelled the same. For example, HOMEPAGE.HTM in your code won't work if the file is named homepage.htm
File names with spaces are special. We avoid them but I realize they're used quite often. If you think spaces are a problem, I'd suggest shortening them.

Navigation
It's also important that we all start using web notation when navigating from directory to directory: Only the "/" (slash) is valid. The backslash character isn't. This applies to HTML coders primarily. Review a basic level HTML book if you need a refresher.
