What this does to your linkages on your pages makes it a little complicated when you're not using the Homestead elements. Any imported pages and files on your page need to be referenced to the Files directory by putting "files/" in front of the file name, otherwise the browser won't be able to find them. If you use Homestead elements, the references go to Homestead's cgi-bin (don't worry if you don't know what this is) or another server so you don't have to think about how to link.

The exception is imported images. Usually you don't have to worry about that either, because you use the Import Images element in SiteBuilder. If, however, you're using an image on an imported page, you do need to use the "files/" reference.

Here are some examples how the links would look like in HTML:

For images - <img src="files/graphic.gif">
For sounds - <bgsound="files/music.mid">
For imported pages - <a href="http://yourwebsite.homestead.com/files/pagetwo.html">

The separation of the SiteBuilder pages and imported pages and files makes for potential problems elsewhere. For example, when you use Java applets with or without images or add a Flash movie to your web page. Or when you attempt to FTP some web pages made with another editor and other files from your computer. You will find this subject mentioned again at the tips pages for the above or, in the case of the Java applets, at The Rambling Applets pages.
