    How do you set up a multi-page website?

    You see: the color of my horns is is green.

    But still, I want to get this going.

    I currently have a flash based gallery on my site. This was easy, as I used a template.

    Now I want to step up and create a website with multiple pages.

    I have iWeb. This would be easy, too. But I want to link to that flash gallery (template based).

    QUESTION 1: IS THIS THE WAY TO LINK A FLASH GALLERY TO MY HTML PAGES?

    I suspect this might go as this: get a subdomain for the gallery, then link the gallery to the main page of my iWeb site.

    Is this correct, or is there a better way to do it?


    QUESTION 2: HOW DO I CREATE A SUBDOMAIN IN CPANEL?

    I just printed out the only 175 pages of the cPanel manual, and have to first get an idea how this application works.

    So I'd like to get ahead of the manual and get some hands-on advice early.

    Thanks a lot!

    Ok, I reread your post a few times and I finally understand what you're asking.

    Question 1: If you upload the part of your site that you create with iWeb to your home directory (where the site will load when you go to http://yourdomain.com) then you can create a sub domain or just another folder for the flash gallery. Upload all the files from the flash gallery into that subfolder and use iWeb to create a link to that page.

    Question 2: Once you login to cPanel there should be a link labeled subdomains, manage subdomains, or something similar (your host may disabled it or changed the name). Once you are on the create a subdomain page cPanel will ask three things...
    • The subdomain (http://subdomain.yourdomain.com)
    • The domain name you want to create the subdomain for (it will list all the domains you have under that cPanel account in a drop down box)
    • The (document root) directory where the content is stored (http://yourdomain.com/subdomain). cPanel should automatically update the document root field once you enter in the subdomain.
    Remember that when you create a subdomain, it is just creating a link to a folder in your domain.

    Just a precaution: **Make sure that you never click forward, backward, refresh etc. when cPanel is processing a request like creating a subdomain.**

    Sorry If I dumbed this down too much!

    Hope this helps! If it doesn't feel free to post more questions or send me a pm.
