Re: my website problem

I can see what is wrong with the first mentioned Ligs & MPS. When naming files, do not use special characters. the ampersand (&) is a programming character. When used in a link, it is interpolated differently and is exchanged to "Choosing Ligs %26 MPS.pdf" See the percent sign in the URL link? That is what the browser is looking for in your files on the server. Of course, that is not what the file name is - therefore, the server is not finding your file based on how it is named.

Check the file name in the link of your Gordy Miller.pdf page.

Files and URLs ARE case-sensitive. It is always best to use underscores or hyphens between words instead of using "spaces". Many browsers will also insert "%" characters where spaces are present in the file name, which will change the name of the file based on what the browser is trying to look up. Even though most of your files are working with spaces i n the file names, it is best to use underscores or hyphens between words.

To make it easier on yourself in the future, determine that all file names will be in lower-case, (even when using proper nouns and names), decide to always use hyphens or underscores between words (choose just ONE to always use when naming files and links), and always stick to those naming conventions you choose. Fluctuating between using all upper-case, spaces and underscores, and using special characters (commas, ampersands, etc.) will only trip up the links.

Hope that helps
