File Names
Before you start uploading/creating pages, make sure you use reasonable file names. It is strongly recommended not to use punctuation characters, spaces and some special characters in filenames to be published on Internet. Hence instead of Mein Gästebuch.html
, use mein_gastebuch.html
.
Also URL (web addresses) are case sensitive, which is different to how Windows treat filenames. So if you first test your pages locally on Windows and links stops working once you upload the pages, it is probably for inconsistencies in letter cases. For example you may have a link to Mein_Gastebuch.html
, but the file is actually named mein_gastebuch.html
. This is not the same on Internet.

Creating Pages
If you want to create the new page, either create new file locally and upload it. Or use File(s) > New > File command.
