Combining multiple websites

K

Does anyone have experience in combining multiple websites, with the result
to the viewer being one seamless website? My ISP has a 10MB limit on server
space. However, I am allowed 10 MB of server space for every e-mail address,
and I can have up to 7 of those. So the only way to get past the 10MB limit
is to create a separate website for each e-mail address, and then connect
them through links. I've already verified with my ISP that this is my only
option. If the main index page is on website #1, I don't see how you would
get a page residing on website #2 to show up in the navigation bar of website
#1?

Really only possible if you manually create your navigation, however FP2002 and FP2003 will allow
you to add external links to your navigation structure.

You would have to create the 6 other sites first, then in site 1 you can create the links.

It would be a lot easier to use a WPP (Web Presence Provider) to host your
entire website. There are free WPPs which plaster your site with ads and
banners, or pay for hosting - less than $60 per year will buy 100MBytes or
more with a feature set that your ISP will not provide.

To stay with your ISP, in your local web, place each section in its own
subweb/subsite. Use external links (links to existing pages in FP2003) to
link between the subwebs/sites. You will not be able to place child pages
under these external links. Or create your own navigation bars, without the
help of FrontPage.
Nav bars will have to be set up in each section independently.

I think you'll find that the space available for email addresses is only accusable via SMTP and not
accessible as an http:// server to serve files.

Perhaps I should have clarified. The 10MB is for a feature called Personal
Webspace, and is not related to how much e-mail can be stored. I can have 7
e-mail addresses on my acount (myself, wife, child, etc.). Each one of those
e-mail addresses is eligible for its own 10MB Personal Webspace (so I can
have a website, my wife can have a website, my child can have a website,
etc.).

Aah, ok.
Then it's fairly simple.
Lets say your main website is www.mywebsite.com and the one for email address number 2 is
www.herwebsite.com

Make a generic home page for herwebsite, and then create folders to store images or pages to be
linked to from mywebsite.

Publish the items to herwebsite and then use absolute links to the items from my website.
Example to link to an image stored at herwebsite the link would be
<img src="http://www.herwebsite.com/foldername/imagename.jpg"> or .gif or .whatever.

Thomas mentioned adding external links to the navigation structure of website
#1 (mywebsite), and you have mentioned the use of absolute links. Are these
answers in any way related?

All the ISPs that gave me multiple email accounts also included a 10meg
webspace.
He can indeed do what he wants very simply.

Yes, and each website can have a hyperlink to each other. You will just
have to make sure these are entered manually.

External links and absolute links are the same thing.

You create the web pages as separate pages and upload them to your ISP,
example (http://members.shaw.ca/username) where the user name is that of that
email alloted space. You will have one web site uploaded to USERNAME1 and one
uploaded to USERNAME2, and then you will have to hyperlink them to each other
by putting in the URL that starts that side.
