Website homepage and index page

mere_immortal

I've created a really basic website for our boardgaming group, partly to teach myself HTML and web hosting stuff. I've uploaded the first update but the homepage at http://www.prestonboardgamers.co.uk is different to the new update on http://prestonboardgamers.co.uk/index.html.

I was under the assumption that the index was the homepage but it seems like I might be wrong. Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

edit: actually seems it's only when I got to prestonboardgamers.co.uk without the www that it's the old page. Is that just a @ redirect that needs to be done?

Eat it You Nasty Pig.

they look exactly the same to me (july 9 entry displays); you shouldn't need a redirect for a directory url to load the index file

are you inadvertantly loading a local copy or something?

ed: depending on what CMS you are using, it may be possible for you to view 'index.html' via backend without 'publishing' it to the actual site and overwriting the existing public index.html

You might be running into an issue with your browser cache versus the updates to the live page. Always clear your browser cache when you're looking for changes to a static HTML document like this.

From what I can see in your markup, a CMS as Eat it You Nasty Pig. has mentioned, isn't the culprit because you aren't using one.
