    3. Hi Phil Some websites enable you to edit your content "on the fly" but probably if this was true with yours you would already know and have used that method before. The real question is do you remember you username and password to access your website files? If you do then it's easy to do - first of all you need to download and save your index page to your own computer (or maybe you already have it there as your back up?). Then load this file (page) into InternetExplorer (by clicking on it) and click on File>Edit with Notepad. If you do not get Notepad as a choice you may have to go Tools>Internet Options>Programs and select Notepad as your "HTML editor". Once the Notepad file is open search for the strings that you want to change, edit them and then save and close the file. Hit the refresh button on your IE page and check that the edits work correctly. Then down load WS_FTP 12 (which is a free and easy to use FTP program) and upload your edited file. Or if you wish let me have your log-on details and I will do it for you.

Dear all, I hope I can do this? My web pages have not been updated for 5 years. In that time I have changed to using a gmail email address. Does any one know the easiest way of editing the index page? All I need to do is to change two strings. 1) from philwarn to philwarnorp2 2) from ntlworld.com to gmail.com So, basically I want to insert "orp2" and change "ntlworld" to "gmail" Without using an FTP program to download the text, edit the text and then upload it, I would like to do it insitu as it were. Is there a free program that will achieve this? I have not got the latest versions of the software that took a GEDCOM file and spat out the files that were uploaded! That web site has an old email address.
