I would not announce. Who wants the server being hit with visitors when tech is only beginning to get everyone back up on?.

So you are saying that if we change the 'old links' that did not work to sites that once the old urls are back tht we will have to change everything AGAIN? ---- Yes. Anne said they'd work out the permanent URLs later. Everyone is jumping too fast.

Therein lies the first problem; replace the ~xyz123 with your site ~username. If you don't get access after doing the above, then your site is not ready to be accessed.

For those using a SSI Include to display repetitive data such as site navigation etc.. in their Freepages site(s), there is the problem of not being able to view the SSI Include locally. However, there is a relatively simple method of overcoming the problem with the use of a local Javascript file. I made a post on this subject back in June 2008. The current link to that post is:- https://lists.rootsweb.com/hyperkitty/list/[email protected]/thread/2702431/ ...and a web page detailing the operation can now be found at:- https://ngamotu.nz/test/local-includes.html Barry
