Newbie publishing problems

My directory structure shows up on my website,
www.dragonflyartwork.com, but not my pages. I'm pulling my
hair out. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
LC

There is no Home page. There needs to be a page with a file name of index
htm or html / default htm or html depending upon the server requirements.

Steve is correct. From looking at the site you have published the first thing that comes to mind is tha you have changed the overall structure of your site. Although I am not as familiar with appache servers, most hosting servers have general guidelines t
hat restrict you from having too many levels or require certain names for your home page. Typically index.htm, index.html or index.asp work fine. It looks like all your sub pages (page.htm files) are all one level deep within the "dragonfly web new" folde
r.

Try going into your front page program and loking at the folder list and renaming the main page back to index.htm or index.html (you'll have to check with your host to see if both will work and in what priority) and then try graggin them main pages back t
o the 1st (or highest) level so you have something like;

Front page folder view
- _pvt
- _cgi
etc.
- Peggys Folder
- Images
- Johns Folder
- index.html
- page01.html
- page2.html
etc.

Hope it helps (just used the names as examples) Be sure you have a link on each of the pages and it works in preview mode before you publish it. You should be able to just drage and drop folders like you were in file explorer.
