Hi, I hope this isn't considered off-topic.
I have just started to organize my multimedia files with standardized naming conventions and a meaningful folder structure before linking them into my Legacy file. There have been threads in the past about naming convention 'systems' that were very useful, and I got a lot of good information from them. My question is more of the 'technical considerations' in naming conventions vis a vis creating web pages. As I understand it from previous posts, Windows allows almost anything in a file name with the exception of a few special characters, whereas web pages may not be as forgiving. Examples I've seen quoted on the list have be problems with commas and spaces within the name. Although I currently have no plans to create web pages, I don't want to create potential problems for myself in the future. Can anyone provide general "do's and don'ts" in naming files so that web pages (and not just Windows) will work?
