I've not done any work on my freepages for several months, and when I went back to do some work on them, I discovered that my main site is not connecting to my CSS page and showing any of that formatting. I'm using Dreamweaver and uploading with FTP. The CSS shows up on Dreamweaver, but when I preview it on the web, NO. I created a new page, used my template (which uses the CSS) and that worked fine- preview in browser- no. Can you help me figure out what has happened? Problem 2: I'm trying to have 3 family sites toggled on my freepages site: I"ve got Jones Pages, Mitchell Pages, and Keller Pages (different backgrounds and CSS and templates). It has worked fine at one time, and Barry helped me to load the 3rd site. Now however the others don't come up and though I can enter the Jones site if I do a Jones search, I can't seem to enter that site to start with. The Keller one doesn't come up at all. Am I trying for something too complicated or impossible? I wanted a unique identity for each family, that was my purpose. Problem3: I tried to view my site from the rootsweb editor, and I can't figure out how to even find out to get in to work with the site "behind the scenes". I know things have changed, but I have no clue what to do now and there was no help to answer that question. Somehow today I feel like a stranger in a strange land!!! Show me how to get home.

The entry to the site is a Table of Contents on what can be found on the site. It is then divided into sections, one for each of the four lines - two maternal, two paternal for both my husband and me. Each contains a brief explanation and what can be found in each section. The navigation at the top remains the same on all pages and links to the main sections. No matter where someone enters the site, they can still navigate to each of the main sections. Each of the subsections also uses a side navigation menu with the links to the pages within the section. The index page for each of the subsections contains a Table of Contents for that section plus a brief explanation. To me the main reason to use the misc section as the intro to the site, would be the shorter url you can give out. If as Judy does, you use more than one of the communities, it would help. If like me you use only the genealogy community, then I prefered to keep my pages all there and used that url in my signature line and anytime I sent the link. For ease of getting to each section, I have those pages plus the home page bookmarked under a heading in my browser so they are easy to find.
