Hi Chris.p

I read your articles on How to create a free web site (Great articles by the way) I have used kompozer for a couple of years now. Lately I have had trouble publishing updates or changes to my site. After the publishing process in which kompozer says was successful. The changes are not reflected at the site itself. I am using kompozer 0.8a4 (I know you mention 0.7.10) But this version appears to work fine.

After checking the html from my website using the its internal editing tools
I have found the Home.html file was indeed changed. However the index.html file was not. I am fairly new at this html stuff.

My question is: Does kompozer know to update the index file? What is the index.html file for? I don't seem to remember having to deal with the index file when I first created my site using (dreamweaver) the 30 day evaluation version . Since until recently I was able to successfully tweak the site with kompozer.

I deleted the index.html file and my page went blank. I put it back and all is well again. Do I need to modify both the Home.html and the index.html file? My site is www.weedhop.com. Its more or less a place for me to complain to the wind. Its hosted by GoDaddy and it also gives me free webmail and a free blog. For $19 a year I plan on keeping it for a long time

Do you believe my problem is the fault of my newer version of kompozer?
Or do I need to reread my help files?

PS I decided to try version 0.7.10 same result.

Cheers

This is a update!
Wow good thing I cant blow anything up playing around with this stuff.

I went back over your article Part2 this time. I had both a home.html file and a index.html. Only one is required. I deleted my home.html file and I am now editing the index.html file. For some reason my host recognizes the index.html file.

I then edited my index.html file but still could not publish using kompozer 0.7.10. My work around was to still use kompozer for editing but use fireftp to publish my changes. Works great. Just wish I could do it directly using kompozer.

I guess by asking questions here helps me find my own answers...lol

cheers
