    3. I opened all four of the URLs that Charlie posted, below, and all of them work and all of them appear to display my site as I wanted it. The blue border around all of the pages is there. Don't know what made it go away yesterday. So now tell me: Should I pick one of the four, open it and continue to operate my site as if there were no problem? I would have no problem with that. Or, as Charlie suggested, should I put my preferred link and everything that follows from it into a new directory that can easily be found? Charlie also said this: In the "Local directory tree" above your local files, if you scroll to the top you should be able to see "This PC". Under that you should see C:, D:, etc. which are your drives. Click on that drive and what you see in the pane below are the highest level contents of that drive. My response is that I can't find the Local Directory Tree. Charlie once showed me how to do that, but the information has slipped away. Also, I don't see "This PC" which should be at the top of the drive. Clearly, I'm looking in the wrong place. I think I need to straighten out this confusion if I'm going to address the Filezilla problem. Is there on this site a guide to look at directories and how to navigate among them. I can see some of this issue about directories if I go to Filezilla and look at the double panes, and look above them, but I don't know how to get to the directories without going through filezilla. (I'm sorry, but I seem to be regressing among issues that I thought I already understood. But thanks for being indulgent. (PS: I don't remember any problems like this when I first started using Kompozer and Filezilla. Maybe that was a different era.) Neil

    3. Neil, there are NOT four separate sites. There is one site that happens to display with four different urls right now. That will probably change but we won't know until rootsweb finalizes all of their work. https://sites.rootsweb.com/~boyerlinks/ The most important thing right now is to have the complete sight on YOUR COMPUTER and KNOW WHERE IT IS. Do you know how to use Windows Explorer on your computer? What version of Windows are your using? Perhaps this will help https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.lehigh.edu_-7Einimr_computer-2Dbasics-2Dtutorial_windowsexplorer.htm&d=DwICAg&c=kKqjBR9KKWaWpMhASkPbOg&r=AGsq94QXfKqnOmeiylQOdyiSx1pxsPac8QlHnLzZS9o&m=bXDkcrG0uDsHKUq5EzuzJDLe_DCqeTaDR_RO-Qsymlc&s=uhYuMtgzBdfAExOIawtxMIrHrMJnQNGHT6Z33VvLqFA&e= Once you know where your site is on YOUR COMPUTER then you can work with it in Kompozer and Filezilla. Since you appear to be already editing your site in Kompozer, it must be somewhere on your computer. Start FileZilla On the left side pane you will see a list of files At the top of that pane, you should see a folder with two dots > Clicking it will take you up to the next level on YOUR COMPUTER. If you keep doing that, eventually you will see in the smaller pane on the left This PC with your drive letters listed Clicking on the C Drive will show you a list of files/programs on the C Dive Click on Users which will show you a list of Users > You should see one with a little person and whatever name you are using on YOUR COMPUTER Clicking on that one will show you another list with Documents as one of the folders That is probably where your site is located but only you can answer that cause we don't know where you saved it.
