OK I have two sites. domains are www.all-american-
productions.com
this one is live and I am actively developing it;
new domain, also hosted and but not published is
www.clicks-4-kids.com
so, when I want to update www.all-american-
productions.com, I just open that in FrontPage, add or
modify whatever, and publish web; simple. But now I want
to creat and publish www.clicks-4-kids.com
do I just click on "creat a new web" or what? I want the
files for the two separatge domains/sites separate, but
when I tried to do that, it turned out that my second
site, clicks-4-kids was not publishing properly, because
the index file was not on the root directory, (I think
because I created a new folder) So I have deleated
everything and I'm starting over.. I need to keep the
files separate in FrontPage, but on the right directory
so they publish properly

publish subwebs

you can publish a subweb to say
