Index of Subjects The problem here is that all traffic going to http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Home.html now goes to a second, "new" graphical home page. Why this is a problem is that virtually every reference to Chebucto's home page in our IP sites points to the Home.html URL explicitly. What this means is that all that lovely graphical web browser traffic from our much-vaunted IP web sites, that is those of them who took our advice and used our little links bar, or took what they believed to be our home page link from it or other sources, now goes to your hacked together home page instead of the one we put so much time, trouble and effort into designing and constructing. Now, faced with the information that the bulk of older links go to our old site, I asked Jeff to put in the redirect so that graphic browsers coming into our site through one of the many, many links to our purported home page, Home.html, such as the recent two million hit reporting IP site Newfoundland's Grand Banks, would go to our new home page, where we want them to go. I advised Leo of the move and the reason behind it. Chebucto had already decided that we want graphical browser traffic to go to the new graphical home page. Now with your system, in order for us to get that graphic browser traffic to our graphic page, we must either ask dozens of sites to all update their pages or rely on traffic coming through deciding to follow a link, making our top level graphic home page a second level page. In the way we had it set up, no one had to do anything, it was already done. So now we have two graphic browser home pages with an invitation on the one you put up to bookmark it. This is nuts.
