Here's a quick Freeola tip for you...


Have you ever wanted to provide a simple web address to use in a leaflet or by word of mouth that takes a visitor directly to the required page?

i.e. www.yoursite.co.uk/sale Works well for /map /offer /gallery etc.

All you need to do is create a directory or folder with the required name and then make sure (or it won't work!) the web page within the folder is called index.htm [or .html .shtml] then when a visitor types your site address with the /name they will see your page!

Here's an example live link for England: www.hmmm.ip3.co.uk/england

That's it...


To correct typos - I wish there was a preview option...
