Adding extra webpages and stuff

Okay...I think I've sort of got this right. If I want to add extra pages to my site that aren't cartoons, then I have to upload them into the workspace/webpages folder.
If so, good. Done that.
Um...what happens to them then? Do I link to that folder, or do they go somewhere into the public_html folder, or does some other magic thing happen that I am not aware of?

Please help.
Ta.

say the page your uploading is newpage.html
you've already put that in the workspace/webpages folder - that's good

what you do in your other pages, is link to "/newpage.html" (which is the same as "http://yourcomicname.keenspace.com/newpage.html")

it'll move it to the public_html folder by itself, so don't worry about that
but what you need to do is log into your site admin, and do a _full_update_

it'll do its magic!

Thanks. I'm going to try it and see what happens. I am assuming it only puts the pages into the public folder once something there links to them, because at the moment it's not moving out of workspace.

I'll see what happens though.

Oh, and I'm gonna check out your cartoon too. I noticed you're a local :)

One other thing...it puts the extra pages into the public folder...can I make some other folders in the public folder to hold extra images and so forth for art pages and stuff, or do I make those folders in the image folder itself?
Hope that made sense.

_any_ images that you have on your pages you put in your images folder.

/workspace/images and /public_html/images are symlinked (they're the same folder) - so yeah just create your images folders in there, and do your image src = "/images/yourfolder/image.ext"

thanks for taking a look at stuffed, btw. much appreciated!

Thanks. I was assuming that, but didn't really want to give it a try until I was a little more certain. Taking risks is cool and fun, but tearing down an entire hosting site is another matter entirely.
