File, Folder and Image Naming

These tips are intended to save you time as you develop your website and edit your web pages. Important steps to consider:

• File or image names should contain only letters, digits and underscores.
• No spaces, punctuation or funny characters. 

I want to really emphasize this because people who do not follow these guidelines end up spending much more time fixing broken links or opening support tickets, which can be a source of frustration.

Example of bad file naming: 

My folder / my Image . Jpg

Change to:

myfolder/myimage.jpg

Or: 

my_folder/my_image.jpg

This means that file names, folder names and image names there should be:

• No spaces or tabs
• No commas or apostrophes
• No slashes or quotes
• No # & % + * = @ ~ ^ $
• No < > ( ) [ ] { } : ; ? !
• No other unusual characters
