My customized pages are the ones initially set up so that I could add Photo pages, Miitary pages etc., I use Expression Web 2, and understand enough to modify and add more pages to the original set up. ...........but I generate Legacy Webpages from Legacy 7 just the normal way except for custom html footer that Ron created for me, then all I have to do is change the date each time I want to update and create new Legacy web pages. Then I use FileZilla and let it upload only the changed pages, but if I customize some of the Legacy pages, then FileZilla would note they were a different size and overwrite them. When I have more time, I'll explore this, I have had the time to really study this folder concept. Right now my created Legacy web page files are: C:Legacy>web>clinewebpages (which includes the clinepictures folder) and this is what I recreate and upload to update my website pages. So am I on the right track: Inside this clinewebpages, there would be a folder for legacy pages that I would not want updated? Syble
