New page

'''/library''' is one of the [[website]]s I want to see on your [[subdomain]]

This is a folder for...

* your [[image]]s, large and small
* your [[CSS|style sheets]]

...and anything else that isn't a webpage

== Hiding your library ==

You are supposed to put an '''index.html''' file into this folder to protect the privacy of what you have here.

To hide this folder form the Internet, you need an [[home|index.html]] web page here

I usually just present a blank white canvas to any browser that finds it's way to my /library folders, but you're free to do something different. You might want to say something like....

This is a my private library! '''KEEP OUT!'''

...or put a copy of your main website '''index.html''' there, so if anyone clicks on anything, they'll be dropped back down to your main website

=== index.php ===

This is the only time I will allow you to have a [[PHP|php web page]] on your website...

* index.html, you can have
* index.php

If you do this. it I will allow you just one single line of [[PHP|php code]]! This is the simplest '''do nothing''' web page that you can write!...

</pre>
<?php
/*
* This is to hide my library
*/
?>
</pre>

The biggest thing in this file is the comment- and the best thing about php files is that visitors to your website cannot see them! Browsers are literally fooled into believing there is nothing there! ...view the page source to prove this!

All you will see on this page is

== Warning ==

If you place a copy of your main website's [[home|index.html]] into your '''/library''', I suspect you'll find out why it's better to code with something like...

* href ="/library/myImage.jpg" ...rather than...
* href ="library/myImage.jpg" ...there is a difference!

This would be a significant improvement in the quality of your code!

== Marking ==

Consistent use of /library (up to 3)

== Notes ==

* This is where you store anything that is not a [[web page]]
* The only web page allowed in your [[library|/library]] is an [[home|index.html]] web page
