We use short but descriptive names for the html pages, When two words are needed, we use an underscore sign between them (fruit_oatmeal.html). We don't need html pages for each of the categories: fruits, vegetables, carbohydrates, protein and recipes because we are being able to choose among the subcategories straight ahead, |
