When you are ready to load your htm (or html) file in the folder that you have created, you must make sure that your home, or main page is called "index.htm." The server is designed to search for a "home page" in the WWW folder of your home directory.  The computer has been "told" (it has a default setting) that unless otherwise specified, this first page is called "index.htm"  This is how the computer "figures out" how to display your home page first, and not any other secondary pages that you place in your folder.
