[Ballistic Banana]

When I Google to see if ballisticbanana comes up my webpage shows the index.htm not ballisticbanana.co.uk.

how do I change whatever so that the page come up correctly, surely it isnt just save teh index.htm as ballisticbanana.htm is it?

TIA

change the title of the page to say whatever you want. at the moment, the page title (as displayed in the browsers title bar) is "index.htm"

in the html, look for <title>index.htm</title> and change index.htm to whatever you like.

hope this helps......

IIRC the index.html is your homepage!

eg. If I type in www.phillmanson.co.uk it should open up www.phillmanson.co.ukindex.htm

The first time you go to a site it will be www.phillmanson.co.uk but when you click "home" on the webpage it will default you to www.phillmanson.co.ukindex.htm

(Hope this helps but I have had a couple of drinks!)

You need to change the contents of the <title> tag in your HTML code, this is what google displays in its results. You also might want to try and include some HTML text on the homepage as this will be listed in the results also.

note to self: must type faster

it is, however, I'm not saying rename the file, just the title section in the page's html. the file should still be called index.htm or whatever it is currently, or the webserver may not find it. when you go to a www.domain.com, if you don't supply a page, the webserver will try a preconfigured set of default page names. index.htm is a common one.

leave the filename as it is, but change the <title> section.
