Tutorial on Subwebs?

[Auerbach]

Can someone point me to a good online tutorial on how to create subwebs in
FP 2003? I've tried on my own and using the very good Colligan/Cheshire
book, with no luck.

Here's the situation. I've created several variations of a new site (same
content, just played around with the DWTs for different looks.) On my hard
drive each is in a different folder under My Webs. Now I'd like to create
one combined site, with an index page that contains links to each of the
other test site index pages. Presumably each test site would sit in its own
folder when published to a server. I'd be fine if FP 2003 also wants to
replicate them that way on my hard drive, prior to publishing them.

I can do this by manually moving the files and FTPing the whole deal, but
then any updates are a hassle to maintain.

TIA for any advice or leads to how-to sites.

If your host supports subwebs (many don't)
In FP right click a folder (in Folder List of Folder View) and select convert to web
- or use the FP SE Admin (Tool Server Admin)

Create a main web (say C:\MyMainWeb) and open / publish each of your separate webs as subwebs (to say C:\MyMainWeb\subwebname1\),
etc

Stefan,

Thanks, as always!

Sub webs are entire frontpage webs in their own right; they just exist within
other webs;

The Frontpage Help might be helpful .

Basically all you do, is in the files/folder view within frontpage, select the
folder you want, then right click and select "create subweb" (or it might be
"convert folder to subweb").

Then you publish the web in the same server location as your main url, execpt it
will be in a sub folder I think.

Andrew,

Thanks, I'll try again. I must be somewhat brain-dead, because others have
told me it's not a big deal.
