Web Pages are identified through a web Browser (such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla, FireFox) by unique URLs (Univeral Request Locator). URLs have special requirements to the charaters allows in their names.

In this web site, when editing or creating a Web Page, the Name (ID) of that page refers to how the URL is created. As best practice consider the following guidelines for naming Web Pages:

1. No strange characters. Only use a-z letters (lower or upper case) and 0-9 numbers for naming Web Pages
2. You may use the underscore character '_' as a space for readability. For example, about_our_company is a perfectly good name.
3. No spaces! Browsers cannot determine spaces all the same way so avoid using them.
4. Use the unique name of index_html to designate the default page to use when viewing a folder.

Best Practices
To ensure a good standard across a web site, it is common to name Web Pages with a similar naming syle. For example the following except the last conform to a standard:

• about_us
• general_information
• calendar_and_events
• OurPublications

The last item is a perfectly good convention to use, but deviates from the others.
