The HTML of my site is not translating

I have synced my coding through Dreamweaver/FTP and when I go to my website URL it is just an extensive list of all of my files. PLEASE help me as to why this is happening!!!!! I am new to this and I am so stuck. the website URL is http://leskaroffartworks.x10host.com/ so you can see what it looks like. SOSOSOSOSOSOS!!!!!!

Hi,

Your homepage must be named index.html (case-sensitive), or the server will display a list of files instead.

Thank you,

Thank you,

How do I go about naming my website that?

Hi,

In Dreamweaver, you would just need to rename the file for the webpage you want your visitors to see first to index.html.

Thank you,

After I change the file name do I have to re-sync everything in order for it to work?

So my homepage is working! Thanks for that! However, my links are all broken. How do I fix this? Why are they not attached to my index? Sorry about my baby questions

Hi leskarof,

Great to hear your homepage is working. It looks like your links are pointing to places such as "file:///D:/photography%20link.html", which is a full path to the file on your computer's hard drive. Instead, please change these links to relative links, meaning they simply point to "photography%20link.html". That way, your web browser will look in the same folder as the current file for your webpage, so this shouldn't be a problem.

Thank you,

To apply this change, do I have to resync everything via Dreamweaver? or can I just refresh it?

Hi,

I'm not too familiar with how Dreamweaver works, but you would need to re-upload all the HTML files with the change, if that makes sense.

Thank you,

To make it clear: doing hyperlinks like 'thisisapage.html' and 'this/is/a/folder/to/a/file.html' should keep things working both locally and publicly.
Same applies when it comes to pointing towards external elements such as images.
