I've create an easy html page and I wanted to attach it to my website. But no one link doesn't to that new page.
The page's name is, christmas-ornaments.html
I think maybe the problem is this symbol, -
Hope to get your advaice, friends.

No, it should be fine. Can you show us the page you're having problems with? I'm not quite sure what you're asking. You created a link and it doesn't work?

I am unclear on what you want to do, please try and explain with better English.

We don't mind people who's native language is not English, as long as they don't write in another language and we can get the general idea of what they are asking.

Which I think nikee did.
Megan understood the basic question and replied, even though stated she was not 100% sure.

The basics of their question was does the usage of the - character in their page name cause problems for people linking to it!

I have a domain netsperience-web-hosting.com which works fine

In fact, the hyphen "-" may be a better character for SEO than the underscore "_"

Note that Drupal default settings will insert the hyphen into the URL in place of spaces after stripping some common words such as "from" (look at the URL of this page in the browser address bar)
