With regards to page statuum... Just to clarify what Sean said, you CAN access your drafts via dev.yoursite.com. This sounds like what you were looking for. It's hidden that you can't get to.
So I guess that makes three states (ha): 1. Visible everywhere (published) 2. Visible only on the development version of your site (drafts) 3. Completely hidden (uh, hidden) By the way, I've often used hidden kind of like a folder for organizational purposes. I'll create a 'css' page and make it hidden then put all my css pages below it as: /css/myfile.css One thing I've never considered until now is whether you could also use hidden to escape from site navigation (so your site menu would auto populate for /products, /contact, /about, but not /hidden/other/stuff). Have to test that one first though... Anyone other more obvious uses for hidden out there (that I obviously missed). -Chris Sean Cribbs wrote: > There are really only two statuses (stati? statae?) that affect the > actual appearance of a page: Published and (anything else).
