Re: website not (always) available

It may be your host as Mike suggests, because I could not get it to load in
IE or FF either. Several hours later I tried and it finally loaded in FF,
but wouldn't load in IE. But then I tried an absolute link:
http://www.su154.org/index.htm and it finally loaded in IE, albeit verrrrrry
slowly. It might be a time-out issue?

Who is hosting your site?

Did you perhaps load this site at some time with an index.html instead of
index.htm?

Perhaps log on to your host and delete all the old index.htm, default.htm,
index.html, etc. plus the index_files folder and upload fresh files. Don't
delete any host files or folders. But before you do, open your Pub file and
go to Tools > Options > Web tab and uncheck "Rely on VML..." and "Allow
PNG...". Then compress all your images. Reference: Compress graphics file
sizes to create smaller Publisher Web pages:

See if that helps.

I use Publisher 2003 to create a website for our Girl Scout Service Unit. I
have been getting reports that people cannot view the website
www.su154.org

In the past I have used SmartFTP to transfer files but since I was using
it
as a free program (free to individuals), I kept getting the "this will
expire" messages and decided to look for a new ftp program. I am now using
FileZilla.

I "Publish to the Web" to a directory on my c: drive.

In FileZilla, I connect and see:
Local Site: c:\html contains index.htm, Thumbs.db, and a directory:
index_files
Remote Site: /home/su154/public_html

I delete all the contents of public_html and then copy all the contents of
c:\html to public_html

I viewed the website both with Explorer and Firefox - first page looked
fine. I clicked on a link and got the next page. I closed both programs
and
tried again. I can still see the website with Firefox but not with
Explorer.

I would appreciate any help.
