how to create a new folder in TextMate to nestle in my index.HTML

Hi, You can find that answer here(and more): http://manual.macromates.com/en/working_with_multiple_files#find_and_replace_in_projects

But another easy way to add page is simply just open a new file in text mate and save as in the same directory as your index.html file.

Kimberly,

The text editor that you choose to use (TextMate, Text Edit, Notepad, PSPad, Sublime, etc.) is not actually where this comes into play; rather, the folder on your computer where you save the files is what matters. In your text editor, simply create a new document and save that new document to the same (or specific) location as the other file that you want to link it to.

Example:

You have your home page built, index.html. You want to link to a page from the home page called "About Me". So, you create a new file with whatever text editor you're using (the Workspaces editor on this site is an advanced option that simply shows the multiple files you have open, but this is not a concern as far as the actual construction of the site or the interaction between pages), build your page, and save the file. Let's say you've created a folder on the desktop of your computer called "My Website". In that folder, you've saved your index.html file. When you go to save your aboutme.html page, you'll want to also save that to the "My Website" folder (for the sake of ease, though you could save it elsewhere and just point to the correct path in your code, but that's a topic for later). In your index.html file, on whatever link you have that goes to your aboutme.html page, simply specify that the href attribute will point to "aboutme.html", and you'll be good to go!

The editor that you use is irrelevant; some have more features than others, but you can do everything in a basic, simple, free editor like TextMate or Notepad that you can in anything more advanced.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the detailed explanation. Totally makes sense. I will definitely use this method.
