Ok now that I've saved my live site to my FP hard drive
site; I have an additional folder (_private folder with
the tocproto with all the discussion web articles
visible.) And when I go onto my table of contents page
(with the insert results) I see the actual links
(threads).

Is this suppose to be this way? or do I mess up? Normally
I can't see these items unless I am in the live site; so
is it ok to have it on the FP hardrive site as well?

Thanks

This is normal, as you just made a copy of live site on your local machine.
However do not publish your local back to the live site or you will
overwrite your discussion web content.

Confused.

Lisa,

You don't have to save a copy to your local machine after making changes,
but if for some reason your host looses your site, you will not have a copy
of any changes that you made directly on the live site.

Does you host allow you to create subwebs? If yes, then you can create a new
discussion web as a subweb, locally, then once you have published it, just
never publish it again from your local, this way you can make changes to the
rest of you web and never worry about overwritten the content of the
discussion web. However I would suggest the maybe weekly you publish the
discussion subweb back to your local as a back up.

Ok good. So then when I publish it back I guess I do that
to my actual FP local hardrive site; OR is it to another
location just for the purpose of an extra back up copy?

Yes I am putting them in subwebs; when you say locally you
mean FP hardrive site; NOT live.

(The discussion forum I was playing around with is not in
a subweb (host does not support it just yet) so I was just
playing with it to see what it can do.

What if I want to add info to the subwebs when there up;
new links or something? I guess that's just a big gamble?


Thanks!

Yes to your local FP site on your HD or to another location, your choice.

It would need to be a subweb on both your local and the live site.

If your host doesn't support subwebs, once your discussion web is live, you
will have to make all changes to your site directly on the live site, to
avoid overwriting the discussion web content.

If you can use subwebs, then with the discussion web, you would open that
subweb on the live site to make any change, any other changes to your site
can then be done locally and published as needed to the live site.

Lisa, there is a handy context menu (right click) item named 'do not
publish' for the discussion page. You can publish everything else but
it will automatically skip the marked page. Works great.
