1) I want to use the same design for my website as my blog. File manager would be the logical place for the upload, but which folder? And what's the next step?

2) Am I correct that adding something like /website after .com is the right way to go.

Thanks,
Carolyn

public_html is the folder where the site should go. If someone goes to www.mydomain.com, it will pick up the index.htm, index.html, or index.php (if you have the php extension enabled).

If you want to go to a sub-folder of your site then yes, the simplest and most common method is to use the address www.mydomain.com/subfolder. When the user goes to this address, it should again pick up the index.htm, index.html, or index.php file.

There are other, more sophisticated mechanisms such as sub-domains and re-directs, but I'll have to leave it to others to explain those (lots of forum posts if you're interested).

Hope this helps! Good Luck
joe

Thanks Joe. This does help. You cleared up a couple of things and let me know I'm in the right direction.
