Hi Susan, The learning curve is steep at first but once you do the first couple of pages, the rest fall into place pretty easily. What #7 means is that there is a url that points to the homepage. You need to add a url for each page depth you are dropping...for example, if I am editing an Events Calendar 3 levels down which links back to the main Events page and then the CCN homepage so I would have 2 urls and then the name of the page I was working (which doesn't need to be a url but simply the page name). By duplicating the homepage link via cut and paste, you're simpy saving a bit of time in typing the entire url string each time - instead just changing the pertinent data. My example would look like this: Home > > News, Events & Hot Topics > > Upcoming Events ...which renders... [Home] >> [News, Events & Hot Topics] >> Upcoming Events The first two are working links, the last one is just the name. Instead of typing out the entire url just cut and paste the first one as many times as you need it and just substitute whatever data needs to be changed (such as the url name and the document it points to). The only reason I suggested cut and paste was to save time. Your're free to do it whatever way you feel comfortable as long as the final document looks the same. I am doing some HelpDesk documents what are 5 and 6 levels (they were further down but I raised them up a couple of levels) and the cut and paste urls saved time. FTPing to your home computer and back again is okay as long as you use the template located at: /csuite/info/template.shtml and _NOT_: http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/template.shtml which would render the full document and defeats the purpose of the substitution template which to allow future revamps by just changing the subsidiary templates which exist alongside the main template and called into the documents as they are created by 'http' visitors. All of the old documents on CCN are static - meaning they are 'carved in stone' and what you see in the source code is what you get. The new documents based on template.shtml will be dynamically created each time you access them so changing one of the side templates to reflect a change in policy or design will be incorporated in all documents automatically as they called up by a browser without going in an physically changing each and every document on the system again. ------------ > From: LilleyS@chebucto.ns.ca [mailto:LilleyS@chebucto.ns.ca] > I have received your message and will try to make the changes this evening. > I read through 's notes and can't say that I understood much from > here on: > > > 7.
