Lorna,

Apparently you have created a sub directory named ~corn into which you
have uploaded the file named index.htm.

Look for the file that you WANT. It is already named index.htm. Be
sure the file you want is the index.htm file in your ROOT directory for
Freepages. When you are sure of that, then delete any unneeded
subdirectories and/or other "index.htm" files you may have made.

The index.htm file in the ROOT directory of your Freepages space will
load first when you go to your web site.
