  Common Mistakes (Do Not do the following)

• Do not place spaces in file names.  This works OK for Windows, but is confusing for the WWW.
• For instance, a file called My First Web Page.html located at 
• http://www.polsci.wvu.edu/IPA/LGLAWeb/My First Web Page.html
• becomes the file
• http://www.polsci.wvu.edu/IPA/LGLAWeb/My%20First%20Web%20Page.htm

• Do not use the folder names when logging onto the server when using FTP.
• To log in to the server - use only    ftp://www.polsci.wvu.edu/
• To see your web page use the full address
• http://www.polsci.wvu.edu/IPA/LGLAWeb/YName/pagename.html
• Do Not forget to save your changes and refresh the browser to see the changes.  If you are publishing the pages to the server, you must always publish the page with the changes again. (You are moving a file from your computer to the serfver, so any changes to the file require that the changed file replace the old version on the server
• Do Not forget where your files are.  Always use the same folder for all files in the web page.  If you save web pages you are working on to My documents or your USB drive, and then save the images to the My Pictures subfolder, this will cause problems.  Put all files in the same folder - and remember where they are! 
• Do Not forget to set the File Type seletor in Notepad to All Files.  Otherwise the file will likely have an extra .htm on the end (i.e. MyName.htm.htm)
