Er... a spash page should be an individual file called "index.html". That's what a website immediately directs to if there is no other specified location after the domain/subdomain.
Your other main page will have to be called something else like "index.shtml", "index.php", "main.html", or whatever you want.

It seriously isn't hard. This is just to keep in mind,
- Splash pages are considered the index, and homepages as index2, so for example...
My website is penguins.com. I want a splash. When I type in penguins.com, the index comes up, which is the splash. You click on the "enter" link, which takes you to the index2, or homepage.
- Don't make splashes too big, and...
- It should be plain, but stylish ;)

About 400 x 400 I'd say is big enough. Remember, don't use a splash if you don't need it, like Serebii, they don't need theirs.

ok. I realized it takes up too much bandwidth for my site, so I took it off but I did put it one on my newsletter website. It does serve a purpose lol

Your choice wether to have a splash or not, either way I think Vulzam's Cave is doing fine ;D
