Newbie needs html/ftp help

    I'm in the process of creating my first real html/css website. I have created several simple html pages that I want on my website. Using FileZilla FTP I have finally figured out how to get my first page on the website by naming it index.html, but I click and drag my other pages onto my website and it does not show on my site. Obviously I'm doing something real stupid here and I was wondering if anyone can help. Thanks

    have you linked the pages with index.html? index.html should be visible just typing the domain name. Try to view the pages individually. what's the message the browser returns you?

    No I haven't linked the pages with index.html because I am not sure how. :(

    Yes when I type in my domain name index.html is there like it should be. I don't know how to view the pages individually to tell you the truth.

    Yes the page is there, so I'm guessing I can now just throw a link on the index page to it now? Thanks for your help

    Please use the html <a> tag.
    <a href="link to page">PageName<a>

    link to page = --www.yourdomain.com/page.html--
    I hope above method will be easy for you.
