that's pretty much the homepage. it's a complex website, i think. when you take a look at the host's server, there are alot of files and folders that have been uploaded to it. but when you go to that actual website... there is no 'index.htm' at the end of the url. that's the problem. if you can help me figure this out, i would really appriciate it! thanks for your help in this!

I think the confusion is that the 'index.htm' is understood..
On webservers there are certain files that are 'default' pages.. usually they are either index.htm/asp/php/whatever.. or default.htm/asp/php/whatever..
The index.htm should be there in the folder list of the websites files... but if you just type in
www.timbuktufoundation.org, the web server will automatically know the default page, in this case index.htm, and pull that file.
I can go deeper into it if you still don't understand, but I don't want to confuse any more than I probably already have.
