We have also included information about the other basic pages and how to work with a Site DWT below. • • • • • • • NB: In 'Page Editor Options' under the 'Authoring' Tab you will find 'default htm file extension', and a radio button selection of either.htm or.html. If you have this setting on.htm when you select and make a Site from one of the.tem downloads (or the generic Expression Web Site Templates) you will see as if by magic the index.html page change to default.html, this is a little known bug. If you have it set to.html then your homepage extension will remain index.html. Of course you can rename your homepage file to whatever your host requires by right clicking on the selected link in Folder List View (Panels - Folder List or Alt + F21) and choosing Rename. When you select either.htm or.html in Page Editor Options this designates the file extension of new pages. An essential part of SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is having a site map of your site. Not only a html version but a xml version too. With the html version not only do you need to provide a link to every page on your site but you need to add a short description also. Can generate both versions for you. Before you make the sitemaps version it's a good idea to check in 'Site View' that all your page titles are well written with no mistakes as they are used to generate the anchor text. When the html site map is generated you will need to remove the links from the table they are generated in and make an unordered list from them. If you place the cursor within the table and in the Table menu click Convert - Table to Text this will remove the table quickly. Select the links and paste them into your links page, select the links again and use the bullets icon or the unordered lists section from the Paragraph pane on the Formatting or Common Toolbar which can be turned on from the View Menu to make the list. Then add a short description of what is on the page under or beside each link. Ask other webmasters if they would be happy to link back to your site when you link to theirs. Always link using good anchor text, for example if we wanted you to link to our site we would ask you to link in the following way. Using the following code - copy and paste into notepad or use Paste Text under Edit if you are using Expression Web then paste into Code View.
