    1. [FreeHelp] A couple tips about reuploading a site

    3. After the hardware failure, many of us had to reupload our sites. If you want to be extra sure your site is back to pristine after you did a site overhaul--but it was not included in RW's backup-- you can do these steps: 1. Go to File Manager (Rootsweb sites, or Freepages sites - just google for the right one) 2. Click a radio button on a folder in your site. Go down and click Delete directory / subdirectory (left side). Repeat for each directory. 3. Click a radio button on a file in your site. Go down and click Delete file (right side). Repeat for each file-- except, leave your "index.htm" or html (just to make it still feel like home). 4. Go to top and refresh directory. Then, use Filezilla and re-upload everything from your local (PC) website version.. Click to Overwrite your index page. During a site update last year, I had reorganized, deleted pages, moved stuff around, got rid of duplicate images, etc. After the failure, I found my OLD site was returned from the backup. The above steps were the quickest and least confusing way to get rid of the old site *fast*, and reupload the new site again. Took about 20 minutes total to do both tasks. Judy
