Re: Creating individual .pub files

David,

Unless Christian is anal retentive like me, he has used relative links, so copying and pasting text or object with links will mean they are broke. He will also have to be very careful renaming pages so he doesn't end up with a couple dozen index.htm pages.

I faced this problem at the end of 2006. For week after week, I kept adding pages of news, links to other groups, etc. Suddenly my file was out of control with over 300 pages. So I copied just the main pages to a new file and used absolute links instead of relative ones. I then deleted all of those pages and uploaded the file to /2006. Then I created a /2007 folder and file and kept the copied pages as my main file. It gets updated to my root directory, which has links to the 2006 and now 2007 archives.

Even now, once a file gets to about 60 pages, I start a new one with only the skeleton pages and rename it something like 2008April.wpp. I can do incremental updates without deleting files so that isn't a problem.

I do something similar with a site I do for my church. Since I add at least 12 pages a month, it was becoming way too large also. Now stuff goes into a 2008 folder or a special events folder. Yeah, I have more native files, but they stay relatively small in size. Also, and I don't know if Pub allows this or not, I can insert an "offsite" page and have it automatically included in the Nav Bar

Mike,

Thanks for jumping in here. Would you please elaborate on why you say it would be a disaster? Also, can you suggest a "best" way for Christiaan to break his site up and organize it. Single pages/single pub files seems overkill to me too, but I am curious about why you said it. Thanks.

I am going to make each page an individual .pub file.

You are looking at a disaster waiting to happen if you do this.
