ADVANCED TOPICS

1. Naming the web pages:

• The first page will be the page that introduces you and your classroom. Since this is your first page and your home page you must give it the name "index". This is very important. The site won't open on the LCM web site if you give it another name!
• All other pages should be given a name that will let you know what the main topic/subject of the page is about. It is very important to remember the exact name you give that page. When making a link, if you misspell or leave off the ending of the name you will not be able to link the pages together.
