| Rob, I asked them why there were two index pages and they said I did it
(like
| I could have at my level of understanding). In FP, I only have index.htm.
| When I used their free search engine registry it put meta tags in the
| index.html version, so I guess that's what they're looking for (they told
me
| I had to choose).
|
| Both versions on the server have lots more code than the html in FP. How
| would I check the index.html to see what it looks like. If it's right,
then
| what?
|
| I've thought of copying the html into FP, presuming I could figure out
which
| one to work from.
