where to place htm file and its images

[Laurence Lombard]

I use Frontpage to place a once a year personal Xmas letter on a website,
and am pretty clueless about web design. My question is: what is normal
sensible practice -does one group a htm file with its images or seperately
eg I have a homepage with links to Xmas2004, xmas2005 etc

homepage.htm
xmas2005.htm
xmas2005_files_folder

All the images for xmas2005.htm are stored in xmas2005_files_folder. Do I
put xmas2005.htm in the image folder as well or do I keep it seperate (one
level above) The advantage of this would be that when I update, everything
that requires updating is in one folder (and of course homepage.htm needs
updating as a link is added).

Thanks
Laurence

It is really up to you on your organization. We do this for one client
and we create a folder called 200512. And then we also create a folder
called images in that folder. So we have something like:
200512
-default.html
/images
-xmas.gif
-santa.gif, etc

It doesn't matter where you put the images as long as the hyperlink points
to the proper address. Some people (just for example) point to images on
other peoples' web sites! (especially on ebay). I only say this to
demonstrate that it doesn't matter - your pictures can be anywhere as long
as the hyperlink points to its www location.

I wouldn't bother with the links from the home page. Just make a web page
and upload it to your site, e.g., http://www.myweb.com/Christmas2006.htm
Unless you want to make a separate folder like

http://www.myweb.com/Cards/Christmas2006.htm
