Help Please

Hi

Im trying to make a website. Im a noob at it, but im good with computers. Here is my problem. I did all my website offline. Its done. My problem is that I can't get my index.htm to be my homepage.

In other words, I want www.blabla.bravehost.com/index.htm to be the first thing to show up, instead of www.blabla.bravehost.com. Is there a way to do that?

Help is very much appreciated,
Thank you in advance and thankx for reading

I want to make myself even clearer on what happened to me.

2 days ago, I made up a quick site in 10 minutes with the wizard. I made like 4 pages. Real quick and easy. Now, 2 days later, I have time to do it right and offline. So I finish doing it, I deleted the old index.html(at least I think I did), and added my own index.htm and uploaded all the pictures.

Now, if you enter my URL: http://www.mrcodallos.bravehost.com/ you get something different than if you enter http://www.mrcodallos.bravehost.com/index.htm or if you click on home. I dunno if I made myself clear, but visit the links and you'll understand.

Again, help is much appreciated,
Rommel Rico
PS:Sorry about the typos.

Re: Help Please

Maybe you fixed the problem already, but I see the same thing with both addresses. If you have a "index.html" and a "index.htm" file on your site, the "index.html" would take precedence. If you then delete the "index.html", the "index.htm" file should be used for your home page. You are probably just seeing cached data in your web browser. Make sure you clear your Temporary Internet files and force a refresh of your browser (F5). This will insure that you are seeing the latest data.
