Hi David,... no, problem with my understanding of how things work! I have extensively revised the Volunteer Cttee webpages. During testing phase, I simply duplicated the filenames, with my new versions being distinct only in that they have the .shtml extension. I had (have!) no idea how the server knows what to serve up: If you hit the directory directly (i.e. /Chebucto/Volunteers/ ) then the index.html (old) file would load. The old "Committees" section of the "about.shtml" page also pointed directly to the /Volunteers/index.html page. I didn't know what the methodology was to force a redirection to the new index.shtml file... though through trial and error I see that the server automatically loads the .shtml in the absence of any .html so no problem. I had thought that there was some techie-voodoo stuff that had to happen. Andrew told me to "just put in a symlink" ... what the hell's a symlink? Perhaps we should have a one-day "how to" workshop for the Area Editors, put on by the tech cttee ? Wouldn't that transfer of knowledge be nice? (I'm thinking dynamite & matches in the hands of monkeys). Um.... did that answer your question? ciao, Mark -- ---------------------------------------- Mark Rushton, Editor Community Support & Development Chebucto Community Network (CCN) <Mark@chebucto.ns.ca> <http://www.chebucto.ns.ca> ----------------------------------------
