Re: Help with Managing my web site

I am not promoting anything. If people choose to use Publisher, I try to
help them. If there goals and expectations for the web site is beyond
Publisher, I am the first to suggest alternatives, and as far as I am
concerned Serif Web Plus is a great alternative. You have proven that to me.

<smile> I know you don't eat many of those peppers, but I still can't get
over growing things in a garden that requires gloves to handle. By the way,
do you throw away the gloves after the fact? I can just imagine forgetting
and using those gloves another day and wiping your forehead and the sweat
out of your eyes...ooooweeeee!

David,

I read that - and was impressed. I really don't post here to promote a
competing product, unless a poster is looking for something that Pub
simply cannot do!

BTW, I don't eat the peppers or their juice (except for the Hungarian Hot
Wax, which really are barely above a Bell Pepper as far as heat). But I
have heard tales about what they can do.

I did give WP some props in the general newsgroup...

David,

<gloat> WP has an option when uploading or updating a site to include the
WP document. It's easy to remember to do it! </gloat>

Yeah, I know about good intentions. In fact I have been getting lazy,
and after reading your post I will be backing everything up this
weekend. I think a good rule of thumb might be to periodically ask
yourself "how much work would it involve to recreate this file if my
computer crashed right now? Could I even recreate it?" If its a couple
hours, that's one thing. If it is a website file that you perhaps spent
weeks on...that is another story.

This also applies to Pub 2007. After reading a good discussion of how
to
back up your files, at the end of the article is a method for
rebuilding
your Publisher file from the html files. Its tedious, but it will
work, and
of course as you go through it, you will be reminded to backup in the
future.

Please don't misunderstand. I am not throwing stones, as I too live in
a
glass house and have lost important files because I didn't get around
to
backing up. I would imagine almost everyone has. Files go corrupt and
hard
drives crash. I have found that I do keep a flash drive handy and
backup
files every hour or so as I work on them, and before I eventually
backup to
an external drive, and periodically burn DVDs. I also regularly burn
images
with Acronis True Image, because I really hate to do reinstalls.

Sorry there isn't an easier method.

Few months ago. I developed a web site. with pub 2007.
My laptop has since crashed and no longer have the original pub files
i

tried to import the site but each time it is all over to one side and

missing
information. Any ideas suggestions would be greatly Apreciated.
