Hi people.

Does anyone know how i can remove the .htm part of a url?
I use freewebs and i was told by someone a long time ago how to
do it so i know it can be done, but i have forgotten how to do it now!

Thanks in advance for any help.

It's only possible if you have a .htaccess file. And I'm afraid freewebs don't allow URL rewriting.

There is a way to do it
You have to make a new folder then add the site you want to remove .htm into it.
There is more to it but i cant remember how to do it now.
I have done it before so i know it can be done.

Well, that is not called removing .htm Of course, you can rename your page.htm to index.htm and put it into a folder called page/ and the link to it would be site.com/page/ but that doesn't remove the extension, you visitors will still be able to access site.com/page/index.htm

OK, im not explaining myself to well, sorry Arwen.

My freewebs address is
http://www.freewebs.com/avengerslg/ (under construction still)
When i make another page, EG :
http://www.freewebs.com/avengerslg/youngvsold.htm
I want to remove the .htm from the youngvsold page so it's just
http://www.freewebs.com/avengerslg/youngvsold
I was shown how to do it a couple of months ago, and it took me a few
attempts to get it right then. Im no expert at this kind of thing
so if you could explain as simple as you can how it's done please.

I do understand what you mean and I only know of 2 ways to do that. The first way is very simple - you make a folder named youngvsold, rename your youngvsold.htm page to index.htm and put it in that folder. You can now access freewebs.com/avengerslg/youngvsold. Another way is to rewrite your url and here's (http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/sitemanagement/urlrewriting.html) a good tutorial that shows how to do that. :)
