Sorry to reply to myself, but I wanted to provide an update.
The first problem, with the Web site, remains AFAIK; I haven't been on the
Web site since Saturday, so I can't say for sure.
The second problem turned out to be initially a problem with my site file --
my regexps weren't getting matched (duh). But even after I fixed them, I
wasn't picking up as much content as I would like. I *think* this is
because the links I want scooped are in a table. Will setting
"ContentsUseTableSmarts" to 0 solve this? For the time being, I solved it
by copying the HTML page to my hard drive and editing it, then scooping that
file; this works beautifully. But I was planning to contribute this site
file once I got it working, and I suppose I can't do so as long as it's
dependent on another file for the scooping to work -- or?
