Step 18: As soon as the transfer is finished, you can open a browser window and navigate to the URL of your published website. MOW users can open their website via their Online World web address: http://yourname.magix.net/public. Note: Many web servers use case-sensitive filenames. So, for example, the web address xara.com/products.htm is not the same thing as xara.com/Products.htm. To reduce confusion and the likelihood of errors Designer Pro/Web Designer enforces that all page names are all lower-case and contain only allowable characters. This means that spaces are not allowed in page names. We suggest using an underscore as an alternative separator.
