It has occurred to me that if a web page listed everything, images and 
pages and whatever else, at a persons web space then that would be 
about as good as you could ask for.  Indexed or a table of contents 
type of thing.  I seldom see peoples web pages showing the entire 
contents of their web spaces and if a default html file exists (index.html) 
then everything is kind of buried under the page.
I've been trying to think about this before and have started to at least 
list the main web pages I have into the index.html file of each web space 
root directory.  That way anyone looking at a broken link would be able to 
get the default page showing what is still there anyway.
I think a complete itemized list of everything there would be great but it's 
probably too much a task for me to seriously consider.
I wouldn't mind coming across such places elsewhere though  :-)
