Hi Joe,

This is the actual URL of your site
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~sprkye301/ If you want the site to
open with your initial page it has to be named index.html. Rename whichever
page you want as your opening page to index.html but you will then need to
change any links that refer to that page. Or you can create a new entry
page and put your links on that page.

Sign on to file manager here
http://freepages.rootsweb.com/fileman/file_manager.cgi
enter your username and password Make sure genealogy is selected and enter
file manager. You can then view, edit or whatever your site. I would be
very careful working on your site without a backup as accidents can happen.
