When should my home page file be named default.htm verus index.html?
I refer you to the index.html versus default.htm choice for home page file name provided by Microsoft Corporation, wherein it is stated that if you do not specify a home page file name the index.htm file name will be automatically given by Microsoft FrontPage to your home page (note that it is index.htm and not index.html or default.htm). Whatever name you choose for the local computer file that you want to appear first at your web site, on the server it must be changed to index.html (with a lower case L at the end) in some servers and default.htm in other servers. Which name is required depends upon your particular server. At Trinity University, faculty on the TUCC6 server must use index.html and students on the TUCC8 server must use default.htm for the file that they want to appear initially when users first enter their web site.
