what not to publish

L

Lisa

Is there anything else other then Discussion Forums/ Guest
Books/ hit counters; that will override when published and
that should only be published via live site? or with
caution?

ie. I have a few scripts like a calendar;
I want to add a menu much like the one uptop this site.

Will this give me a problem?

thanks

Those are really the main items. In general any time you have a function
where site visitor add content to your site, and it is not stored in a
database, you have to be careful when publishing so as to not overwrite
their content. Subwebs are good for these items, since you can avoid
publishing them.

You can right-click on the database in your local web and mark it "Don't
publish."

Correct, if you have open it for any reason on your local, it will
published. Generally I do not store my databases within my web space, as my
host allows databases to be stored outside the root web, where FTP is use to
upload it.
