Re: website directory tree question

Agreed. And I'd say that it doesn't matter so much exactly how you organize
your files, just that you have *some* kind of system, and that it's 100%
consistent. The bigger the site gets, the more important this is.

With smaller sites, I usually just put the HTML files in the root directory,
along with the external style ***, and images in their own directory.

On bigger sites, I have sub-directories with image folders (and sometimes
other supporting files) within them.
