I understand that much. My question more simplified is how do I set links from, say, I'm on my homepage and click forum. What do I tell that link? go to the forum or go to mysite.com/forum. Also, how do I specify what file is "contact" like mysite.com/contact or would it be index3.html or what?

I've designed self contained flash webpages (very small) before... for a class. But I'm a bit new to how html works. I guess I should just read a tutorial but I'm a bit urgent to get some sort of site running.
