 * Hello, my site is //ocparalegalservices.com. I originally created the site with
   WordPress point and click. Now I am trying to learn php and html. I have created
   a simple testing.php and mypage.htm. With Webmin, I have uploaded these test 
   pages to /home/ocparalegalservices (I’m guessing this is where they should go).
   I’m trying to run the pages by typing into my browser //ocparalegalservices.com/
   mypage.htm or //ocparalegalservices.com/testing.php. Both come up with 404 Page
   not found. Should I be uploading the pages to a different directory?

 * Hello!
 * I highly recommend you read the [Pages](http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages) and
   [Theme Development](http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development) pages on the
   codex.
 * Where you would upload your files would be in your WordPress directory, in wp-
   content/themes/yourthemefoldername (yourthemefoldername needs to be whatever 
   the name of your theme is.) The template files would be .php files, and as an
   example for a testing page, you would put your template in the folder I mentioned
   as testing.php, and you would create a page in the WordPress admin area called‘
   testing’, and to view it on your site it would just be [http://ocparalegalservices.com/testing/](http://ocparalegalservices.com/testing/)
 * I hope that helped!
