In today’s world most up to date internet servers WILL accept and use upper case letters and/or spaces. It is those that are NOT been updated in the past.
Then to, some of the programs that one may use to make the page files may also be out dated and needs to be up graded. If one is to look at most any of the results of a search at Ancestry or FamilySearch, one will see that upper case letters are used. Most spaces will be converted to “%20%” without the quotes. One does NOT need to spend the rest of their life trying to rename every file to lower case and no spaces. We have much better thing to do. IF your web site does NOT support the use of upper case letters and spaces, then I would look for a more up to date provider.

Any good news for those of us who do not have that long to live and a few other things we need to do before we die? Is all our hard work, using long accepted file names, lost?
