I finally got around to building a simple website for Painted Adelaide (this being her partner in crime).  I uploaded the content to the public_html folder and deleted the placeholder page and image that was there from october.

Now though, when I key http://adelaide.xepher.net in the address bar, it takes me to the placeholder page that I deleted.  Not sure how that's even possible, but when I navigate to the URL, that's what happens.  The funny thing is, once I add /index.htm to the end of the URL, I get the home page I just uploaded, and all the links there work properly. 

I can't imagine what's different now, because the deleted placeholder (also called index.htm) was in the same location as the desired new index page.  Anyway, could someone let me know what I should try?  I have no clue how to get the right index page to display when the URL is typed (without including /index.htm).

Please and thank you; no hurry.  :)

Both http://adelaide.xepher.net/ and http://adelaide.xepher.net/index.htm show the exact same page for me. What that means is that your browser (or your ISP) is caching the old page. Try holding down shift while hitting the refresh button.

Hey, cool, all I did was clear the cache and it worked.  I had a feeling it wasn't a server-side issue, but I didn't know mozilla would show a cached page if there was a newer version available.  Now I feel silly.  Thanks a bunch.  :)
