In folders of pictures-only, it's recommended to put an "index.htm/l" page in each of those folders so the folder contents can't be accessed (such as when a web visitor finds the folder by accident or erases the end of the URL back to a folder name). Some people put a message like, "You are not authorized to view this folder. Please return to the main site page." (or similar message) Frontpage users know that the program lists all "unlinked files" as well as broken links. Here's my question. All of the "not authorized" pages aren't linked from the site's main index.htm/l page, so those pages get listed in the "unlinked files" in Frontpage. That's not a big deal, unless you have many picture-only folders. Is there a method I could use to list on the main site page one link that would go to one page that would list all of the "unauthorized" pages? Would there be a way to name the link a certain phrase, or make the link itself more invisible or less noticeable to visitors, so visitors would be less likely to click on said link? How could I write "the link" so it doesn't show up as "a link"? Hope I've made sense in what I'm asking. My goal is simply to get those pages linked so Frontpage won't keep reporting them as being "unlinked pages". Also, I have a follow META on those "unauthorized" pages. Should I change those to nofollow nocache etc? And, do the "unauthorized" pages need to have my left-side site navigation, top banner include, and bottom include left as they are on all pages--- OR, should I strip the page down to just having a link back to the main site index page??

All you need to do is that they display the same color as their surroundings. Your clue will be when the cursor pointer changes to a hand, and depending on your browser the url may show up in either the address bar or the status bar. A good place to hide links is plain text. Just select a letter, punctuation mark etc.. and make it a link. Ensure that it normally displays in the same style and color as the rest of the text, and the only clue will be if you run the cursor over it. There is a list of links in the following page. Three are visible, and one is not. The hidden one is not immediately after the 3rd, but effectively 3 rows below. See if you can find it bearing in mind that it is only one space wide. http://freepages.computers.rootsweb.com/~bristowe/hidden-link.html The links are to text files only. Barry
