Dear Elizabeth, I use Frontpage2000. I remember my confusion when I started. It's normal, expected even. I'm going to start from the basics, because even the basics can be daunting if you don't know them. If someone already covered this, I apologize. Rootsweb Freepages has 9 "categories". These are "directories", like a folder on your PC. Most people start off using the "family" directory, or the "genealogy" directory. (Others are "misc", school-alumni, history, etc.) Each Rootsweb "Directory" is a "website". Technically, you could make 9 websites using your userid and password. You need to set up the computer side to match what will go online. The directory you picked for your website (like "family" or "genealogy") MUST be on your computer. How? In Windows, make a directory called "My Webs". Click on it. Now make a new folder inside it named "genealogy"-- or whichever RW directory you picked. *** When you want to use another RW directory, that new folder will go under My Webs also. Open Frontpage and navigate to that "genealogy" folder. You now need Frontpage to recognize it as a 'website'. IF you named your website folder anything different (like mywebsite), you must change it now. The name must match the names Rootsweb uses. So it sounds like you made an "index.htm" or "index.html" page. Each website must have its own index page. When you have "a page" written, like "index.htm", you can simply open it, and under File, select Save As. Enter a new name. Yes, it is scary to now delete the content on your Newly Saved-As page. If it bothers you a whole lot, REdo the Save As and call that one "index_back-up.htm". Close both the "index.htm" and the "index_back-up.htm". Re-open ONLY your Newly Saved Page, whatever name you called it. Note: You must make all pages .htm OR .html (whichever you pick). Do the deletion in steps, just to prove to yourself that all is ok. On the Newly Saved-As page, delete a couple words, then File Save. Open your index-- prove to yourself that file still has the two words. Close the index so you still have the Newly Saved-As page opened. Now take a deep breath...and delete a whole paragraph and save. Recheck the index if you need to be sure. As you go back and forth, just always check the name of the file you have Open. Content is anything you type or add to a page. The background or header and footer are not content. So when you've deleted content-only from your Newly Saved-As page (and re-saved it -- File, Save), check the page... Does it have the background, header, footer---anything that you want on all pages? If yes, now you can make a Template that you can re-use. Take your Newly Saved-As page with just background/header/footer, and do File Save (just a precaution; you already saved it before). Now, use that page and do File, Save-As and name this one "template.htm" Let's say your Newly Saved-As page is called "michaels.htm". But now you want one called "steward.htm". Open your "template.htm" file and do Save-As... and rename it. Note how Save-As just makes a new page; it doesn't overwrite another page you made. You can re-use template.htm as much as you want through Save-As. Let's say under your folders you have: (folder-directory) My Webs (folder-sub-directory--website)--> genealogy (folder-sub-directory)----------------->images (folder-sub-directory)----------------->Let's say you want all your michaels pages in one page. So you make a New Folder and call it michaels (nothing else) (you can make other New Folders which each become a sub-directory under genealogy.) You may wonder, HOW do I get my "template.htm" into my new Folder called "michaels" Right click on template.htm -- choose COPY from the drop down list. Just touch to highlight the folder michaels Right click on the folder... now choose Paste. When you open the folder/directory michaels you will have inside it "template.htm". Now you can just do Save As and Name it the next page you want to do! Keep template.htm in that folder as long as you need it...or for forever. What about a page you made in the main directory under "genealogy"? If you have a new folder for it, you can simply highlight it, then, slide the file up to the folder, and drop it in. If you need more help, let me know. Judy
