I'm not exactly sure how to create folders for each site/section using
FP2000. Can you give me some details please???

Any ideas from others???

Blake,
Open the software to your web. then click on the side bar with the word
folders so that it shows all your pages. then go to tool bar click on file
then new and click on folder....it will create a new folder.. name it...
(keep name simple like "a" or some thing like that...lower case no spaces if
you name it with a name).. but remember the folder name also becomes part of
the url address for any items in the folder... then open it by clicking on
the folder name and the go back to file new and click on new page... this
new page will save as an index.htm page so you will have to rename it after
you save it... then you build pages just like you normally do.. If you want
you can even create folders in a folder, but that makes for a complacated
url so better to just use pages in the folder.
You do know about keeping names of pages simple, don't you? Just like a
folder the page name becomes part of the URL and LONG urls can have
problems... also NO SPACES in a page or folder name....


THESE ARE JUST EXAMPLES: not real URLs...
