Linking Exercise

You may do the following in either Notepad or an HTML editor such as AOLPress or Netscape Composer.  If you have time, do it first in Notepad and then redo with an editor.  If you do it with an HTML editor, make sure you understand how the relative links in 7-11 work.

1. Create a file called default.htm  (If you are hosting your website on a server where index.htm is the default file, substitute index for default throughout this assignment.)  The default.htm file should say in its body, "I am the default.htm file." (15 points)
