Hi, Thanks for your suggestions. I created a new folder within my Public Folder and put a test file in it. (I do not have any other folders as all my files are listed separately.) I don't know if that makes a difference, How can I access the new folder? Only my present website files show up when I bring up my site. It would be helpful if you would give me step by step instructions. I use Dreamweaver for the Mac and Fetch to access my files. thanks again, pat On Feb 14, 2010, at 3:01 AM, rootsweb-help-request@rootsweb.com wrote: Message: 1 Date: Sat, 13 Feb 2010 10:56:54 -0500 From: Richard & Pat <richpat@wideopenwest.com> Subject: [ROOTSWEB-HELP] Revamping old website To: ROOTSWEB-HELP@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <F7668244-6134-4C4D-A20B-0A6438F28270@wideopenwest.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Sat, 13 Feb 2010 11:04:07 -0500 From: Lesley L Shockey <lesshockey@wildblue.net> Subject: Re: [ROOTSWEB-HELP] Revamping old website To: rootsweb-help@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <4B76CD77.1000908@wildblue.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Hi Pat, I would create a sub folder that is not linked to your old site and upload it there for testing.

You could also create a folder under one of the commutinites you are not using to test it out.

Hi Pat, Just add the name of the folder and then the file name if it is not index.htm(l) to the path where you stored the file. The first part of the URL will be whatever you normally use.

You need to enter the folder. i.e. add it to the URL so the browser goes to it. But, you'll need to add a page name after the folder name in order to get there. Let's say your new folder is called zebra. Let's say your account name is ~georgia The URL needs changed after the tilda georgia/ So freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~georgia/zebra/your-page.htm Go to your web, look at the URL, stick in the new folder between / / as in /zebra/ after the dot com slash Then, erase the end of the URL and put in a page name.
