Frontpage used to have a really good preview as a site option, but I haven't used it in anger for about 6 years, so I guess things have moved on quite a bit since then.
Backups are so important, sites used to get corrupted if the uploads/updates got crashed.

     RTFM

The preview option in GoLive which I use is pretty good. But I find it useful to have the mirror site so that other people can test it. To make sure links aren't done locally etc that pictures aren't being found on my hard drive instead of the web. That kind of thing.

No.I didn't think of doing that first tbh. Where can you get a 'mirror site' from?Not heard of that expression before. confused:

Uncle M will be well proud of me anyway...making my own mistakes and hopefully learning from them.
I apparently didn't wake everyone up at 12:30 am with all my thrashing bashing and very loud obsene language and exclamations when I lost eveything.
Incredible, as I really was a tad tired and unhappy.  eeek:

It's just a second site that is identical to the first one. For instance ours are .ltd.uk and .com

.com is the real one that is on business cards etc and .ltd.uk is the one I use for testing.

Yes. I know AND appreciate that Wenchy, and thank you accordingly. cloud9:

I was just questioning the fact that that is in fact what you have to do?

Can't I p'raps just do my word editing on Microsoft werd or summat, and then copy and paste it onto the web?

I know, I know, I'm tighter than a witches f****. ::)

You can but I like other people to check it as once I've worked on something for bloody hours it all looks the same. This way I can tell five or six different people to check it and there isn't anyway they can change anything.

As part of the development of GROWLER PLC.com., I have today ordered my nice new GPS operated credit card machine.
If ANYONE would care to give me their credit card details for me to simply 'test' it, I would be most grateful.
Thank you in anticipation. happy088

Hopefully you have ordered a GSM machine and not a GPS one?  eeek:

No, I did mean GPS. Global Positioning System or is it sattelite?

That's what they said to me on the blower anyway. I assume that's how it werks without wires or the need for a telephone. Bit like sat nav?
What's a GSM then? confused:

doh:

Was it the one from the "Early Learning Centre - Little Spiv Kit"  that bloke in the public bar was flogging last night?

Would you be interested in buy one of my 'Magic Turnip' franchises?

By the way, if you break a 'mirror site' you get 7 years bad luck. whistle:
