Building BobSmithPhotography.net has stopped expanding because I've been overwhelmed with spam on the comment forums. So, if you're here and have questions about web design come and visit Forums, Blogs, Wikis dot com. It has articles that I've written, some of which are also here, and a web design forum as well so you can ask any questions you may have. There is still a lot of good stuff here though, so poke around the links and take a look.

.htaccess

The .htaccess file only works on Apache servers.  This information does not apply to Windows servers running IIS. 

The .htaccess file is a small text file that will allow you to change certain settings of your web server.   Notice that the filename starts with a period and is all lower case.  The period causes Linux based servers to treat it as a hidden file.
