When I go to your web site 'www.sharhystedobermanns.com' and I point my mouse at the button/link labelled: 'Halle - Show Results 2006 / 2007 / 2008'
in my status bar (for my browser) I see that your index page is trying to link to a file called:
'Halle_-_Show_Results_2006_/_2007/2008.html'
what the problem is, is the use of the slash '/' character in the 'href=' part of the link description.

When you put a '/' slash character in a file name you are really saying, for example with:
'abcdef/ghijk/lmno.html'
that you want that link to be to a file called 'lmno.html' in a directory called 'ghijk' which is itself in a directory called 'abcdef'.

That in this case is not what you want, all your html files are currently in the same directory, so you really want to avoid using the slash '/' character in your 'href', the slash is alright within quotes in the label for the link, that's just descriptive text.

So best plan is avoid slash in file names, unless you are aware of the directory structure.

Rename your file to something shorter like Halle_Show_Results_2006_2007_2008.html
leave the description on the link as it is, but alter the href= on the index page to the shorter simpler name.
