Internal links to my Home Page are currently 'a href="index.htm"'
Is that the best form?

No. You need to link to "/" or to "http://www.domain.com/" instead.
Links to other pages of the site are also not best done as file.html but as /file.html instead.

No; the best form is absolute links throughout your site a href="http://www.example.com/index.htm"
(Posted that at the same time as g1smd; of course, he is right too!)

No. Don't mention the index file filename in the link. That is creating duplicate content and is a problem. It could also cause issues should you ever change the site to run on PHP or ASP, etc.

I am missing something here. I am in the process of learning DreamWeaver as I rebuild my site. So, I am using a mix of NotePad and DreamWeaver to edit my site. Then, I look at what I have done by opening the file in IE. (I have not uploaded the files yet - still on my disk drive.) I can not figure out how put the internal links into the preferred format and test them.
