Hey cool!
I almost didn't scroll all the way down here...glad I did.
I don't like working on my sites live unless there's something that will get messed up by publishing.
You know what you should do now? You should Publish the working online web to your machine...only do it to a new web not your normal copy. That way you should have a local working copy of it.
Good luck!

| FINALLY!! WE DID IT - IT WORKED!! I now have a
| photogallery!! (see
www.holtswcd.org/whatsnew.html)
|
| Now, let me tell you what I did....I opened the remote
| site, imported the images into the remote site (bypassed
| the local all together) and it worked!!
|
| THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for helping me for so
| long with this one! I REALLY appreciate it!!
