[TYPO3-english] Home page url

[Markus Klein]

Hi Chris!

There has been a recent change in TYPO3, which is that Shortcuts actually trigger a redirect to the target page.
When the tutorials were created, this behavior was different; hence the resulting URL didn't contain any path.

I recommend keeping everything in the Root page.

Kind regards
Markus
