Student web pages should follow these conventions:

All of your web page files go in a folder known as the local root folder (or similar names).

Local because it's on your local computer (as opposed to Remote -- the web server)
Root because it contains your Home page, along with sub-folders

File and folder names as specified in exercises
- Where not specified, your choice of file and folder names -- but see file naming restrictions below

Names of files and folders:

Must begin with a letter
Must be letters which have keys on a standard keyboard
Must not contain space characters
Must not contain any of the following characters (unless you can justify why you need it):

~ @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) { } [ ] | \ / ? < > , : ;

Acceptable (other than first character in name):

Note that the neither the hyphen nor the underscore is a "dash". There is no "dash" key on a standard keyboard.
