If i want to link
this new index page from my home page(www.caughtinmotion.com)
would i just make a href link that follows the folders then.
Yes.
When
i log on to my FTP there is the main caughtinmotion folder that i
open and have just been loading up pictures,changing indexs pages
to new names type of thing. If i open a folder,say PAECAprilShow,
for example,then put all the files in that,do i do the href link
as: href"caughtinmotion/PAECAprilShow" and that will direct the
person to the home page of the new pictures.??
Presuming that the web server is set up to auto-load the "index.html" 
file as a default, yes. Otherwise, you need to fully specify the URL 
... "caughtinmotion/PAECAprilShow/index.html". Most web servers are 
setup to support the default "index.html" as autoload, some take the 
.htm extension, so I duplicate my index.html files and rename the 
duplicate "index.htm".

I cannot try it here at work as i don't have an FTP access set up.
You can test the structure and the links on a local file system with a 
browser:

Create a folder A for the main index.html page.
Create a subfolder B for the specific event index.html pages.
In your main index.html, you want to point a link to the subfolder 
pages:
  <a href="b/index.html">horsey event today</a>

In your horsey event index.html, you want to point a link back to the 
main:
  <a href="../index.html">main page</a>

I have 5 years of PAW projects organized this way:
---
photo/
  PAW1/
    index.html (PAW index page)
    xx.htm (individual week pages)
    large/ (image files)
    cc/ (control image files)
  PAW2/
    ...
  PAW3/
    ...
  PAW4/
    ...
  PAW5/
    ...
---
My welcome page points to each of the index pages:
   <A HREF="photo/PAW1/index.html">PAW Index 2001</A>
and each of the indicies and week pages contains a link back to the 
welcome page:
   <A HREF="../../welcome.html#PAWhome">[graphic]</A>

This kind of directory structure keeps the website modular and easy to 
maintain. It also keeps the number of files per directory to a 
reasonable number, speeding up file system operations. All the other 
bits I post are organized this way too, as complete subdirectories, 
which makes them easy to plug in or remove: one quick edit of the main 
page is all that's required.
