Hi, Sue- Reading between the lines of your posting, perhaps you believe that saving your changes to the index.html will /automatically/ upload them to RW. This is not the way it works. The index.html is a page like any other -- /except/ it is the "default" page that the RW servers deliver if the user agent (browser) does specify another page. For example, the address "http://www.rootsweb.com/~txllano" has no page address, so the server looks over your site's base folder for an index.html or index.htm and delivers that to the requester. It looks for the files in that order: .html then .htm, and returns the first one that it finds. On your site you have both files, index.html and index.htm. If you are making your changes in, and uploading, the .htm file, you can upload that all you want, but the users specifying the base address www.rootsweb.com/~txllano will never see them. Here are the two different index pages you have on your site: 1. http://www.rootsweb.com/~txllano/index.html 2. http://www.rootsweb.com/~txllano/index.htm The "best" way to maintain a website is to keep an exact replica on your hard disk, with one folder corresponding to the RW base folder of www.rootsweb.com/~txllano and an exact replica of the subfolder structure and contents below that -- exactly as you want it in the RW server. Testing is simplified if you use what are called "relative links" to your pictures and among your pages, i.e. * Relative link: cobooks.htm * Absolute link: http://www.rootsweb.com/~txllano/cobooks.htm They are called "relative" because they are relative to the directory within which they appear, i.e. they work on your hard disk or your RW site. If you do this throughout, you can display and navigate your "local" copy on your hard disk until it has exactly the effects that you want, then upload the new/changed files to RW. Link usage is explained here: http://www.compugoddess.com/relvsabs.htm (or Google: relative links). You didn't tell us what you use to develop your pages, but you appear to be using Netscape Composer? When you insert a link, there is a check box to make the URL relative to the current page location. Using absolute links makes it difficult to test without uploading first. This is because loading, say, your index page into your browser from your hard disk will show that page, but any absolute link that you click on will load the page from the RW server. A relative link will load the page from your hard disk. I hope that this has been useful to you! -R. sue wrote: >I don't know why I cannot get the ritual down...

Since the server crashed a few days ago, the counter I had just installed on a RootsWeb sponsored web page shows up with a red X. I created a new counter code and inserted that code on the page but it still doesn't show up. I'm not quite sure what to do now. Thanks much, Marie.

Hi, What server crash? I thought the webpages were just moved from one sever to another? Oh -- my counter is working. J.

Marie, A box outline with a red X is Internet Explorer's way of showing a holder for an image that can not be found. If the Resources server is down temporarily, your page will show the holder for a broken image link. Has nothing to do with moving WWW accounts to a new server. Pat
