    Default Need help creating folder in website

    Hey, im trying to create folders in my website that i can store old news that visitors can see like an archive. I know how to create a folder in the Cpanel but i do not know how to link this and make it work in my www.maindomain.net Can someone please help me? I can post news in my website but it would be better to store them in a archive visitors can see than deleting them always. Hope you understood my question.

    What CMS you are using?

    For example, on WordPress you can create Categories and hide certain categories from getting displayed on Homepage and RSS Feeds. But the content in these categories will always remains on your site

    Hi, thank you for responding . Im using weebly as CMS and i dont believe i have that option. But i have heard that you can create folder in Cpanel and link it to your website, but i dont know how i can add link to my folder that has the archive folder as an anchor point.

    Weebly isn't a CMS - it's a site development tool.

    To use a file that's in a subfolder from your main page, link to it using an "href" link.

    HTML Code:
    <a href="archives/2012-January.html" Posts from January 2012</a>

    Oh my bad ;(. Okay so archives/2012-january.html is the file or folder in the file manager and posts from January is the link name in my website? Did i understand you right?

    Sorry for slow responding here.

    Yes, "2012-January.html" would be a file in folder "archives". It could contain the posts themselves or links to individual HTML files which contain the posts. On the page with the link, you'd click on the text "Posts from January 2012" to access the page.

    Thank you so much for helping me out with this. I got it working. So if i may ask a following up question. I know now how to create a folder, file and link it to my website. And i have created .tx file, but it is very dull with a text and a blank background. Is there any way i can style this .tx file up with background or do i have to create a different type of file, style this up and add the wanted text. And then link to this file rather than the .tx file i have now. Hope you understood.

    http: // karlebotnbygdelag .net /nyhetsarkiv/arkiv.tx link to how the .tx file is looking now so you see my "problem". The text is in Norwegian.

    Thank you
