Change the filename of your first page from index to index.html.

Gary, is that not what I said? I agree it only works if you then publish.

To be really precise: in Utilities > Web Properties > Page > Page filename, the default is "index"; change this to "index.html". There is no need to change any other page's filename after this. You could name your first page "giraffe.html" but you would then have to ensure your URL was "www.yourWebSite/giraffe.html" as most servers are set up to check for "index.html" and "index.htm" being present, allowing you to post your URL as "www.yourWebSite/".

thanks for the clear explanation and setup in utilities.
i remember seeing the question about htm years ago. Why is html not the default?

htm is an alias for html and is effectively one and the same.

As Xara products are MS Windows-based, three-letter extensions are/were the norm as far back as DOS & Windows 3.1 (I was there).
AFAIK, servers will handle either with HTML, in older configurations, being the default. You there might consider altering your .htaccess file to handle HTM.
