I think it's fuzzy because it's windows - which has been fuzzy IMNSHO since 7. Of course I'm having cataract surgery next Tuesday, so my Not So Humble Opinion may change after that, though I doubt it. :-) I don't think you really need to watch the video anyway - just continue to try things until there is success. > > > > > > Second, under guidance from Charlie, I've been poking around my files and I found a > > document with file size of 1,737,528 -- huge and far larger than almost anything else > > on my computer.

You are editing and uploading index.html, right? If not, I strongly suggest you concentrate on only that file for now. That is the one that contains your "Revised September 6, 2010" text. By doing a Ctrl-u on your home page, I can see that date on line 24 of that file. How about for an experiment you edit that to August 24, 2018 and I will look again and see if I see the change? Maybe that will tell us something. You may already know this; if so my apologies. Not only is there a default and required directory, there is a default and required file as the "root" of your web site. That file is index.html. While not required, you can add that to the path in your browser just after boyerlinks/. I just did that and it works, showing me the same page. For right now, that is the only file I would suggest you edit and upload. > > > > > > I found the remote directory tree, as Charlie recommended, and clicking on Upload > > in the left pane on one of my files did produce the message "Target File Already Exists." > > I chose to override, and the file said "Transfers finished." > > Super!

I think perhaps I don't know where to look to find the updated file from Kompozer, or perhaps it's just not there. I can open it with the URL you gave me off-line and the links all work, but if I look at what I think is the uploaded revised website, nothing new appears. I think the Kompozer and Filezilla files are the same, and so I guess I have not yet found the source of my problem. I won't pursue the public.html directory idea, since you seem to agree that wasn't the issue. > > > > > > Thanks again for your efforts. > > > > > > Neil > > The URL I am using for your site, and now have bookmarked :-) is: https://sites.rootsweb.com/~boyerlinks/index.html The index.html is implied and is optional. Works great with or without it. I tend to agree with someone else who replied that the file you are editing is likely not the one you are uploading. We will get there, soon I predict! And you are quite welcome!
