I have everything loaded up into the folder my host set up, but I don't understand how to link everything together.

FTP is only for uploading files, not for building your website :S for building your website you haev to use html codes like <a href="linkhere.html">linkhere</a> etc

for example if you have index.html you have links on it to different pages that you have also uploaded. that is how you 'make' your pages. FTP is only for putting it online, for uploading it. The linking part etc is onlyd one with html etc.

I know that. Eh, I guess its my fault for not fully explaining. I was wondering how do I get my 'soon page' up? Like, my address is going to be: www.androgynous.org/fred and i want to put up a page that says its coming soon whenever anyone visits that page, how would I do that?

<html>
<head>
<title>YOUR TITLE HERE</title>
</head>

<body>

YOUR SOON TO BE COME MESSAGE HERE

</body>
</html>

that's how you start. You can add things to the <body> and between the <head> and </head> to make it more beautiful. Just add these codes into a notepad file, and save it as index.html

then upload it and this will be t he first page people will see when entering your site with the adress you posted in your post
