Do you mean you made changes and they did not appear? It might be another
index page has been made. Check for index.html and index.htm if you provide
your web site url others can check further. Check through the browser, and
you can check your hd version and also open the site up live to see if you
have two different index pages. This is usually the problem.
Let me know if this helps.

Open the web, open index.htm, make the changes, save and publish.
What is preventing you from doing this?

when all else fails ....
View HTML of index.htm and copy the page
Open notepad and paste
Save the file as indexnotepad.htm
Copy indexnotepad.htm file via FTP to your web page server as index.htm.

Yes that is what I mean.
It might be another
index page has been made. Check for index.html and index.htm if you provide
your web site url others can check further.
Yes, I have other index pages both on the remote site and my local site.
Ordinarily I load the htm page only, it has a little house beside it,
indicating it as the home page. I'm more accustomed to loading using ftp and
dreamweaver, I'm not clear on how to load only the home page from the index
pages that are stored, that is the problem.
the url is http://www.drummondislandnews.com I've been off line for some
time, hard drive burned up, still recooping.
Check through the browser, and
you can check your hd version and also open the site up live to see if you
have two different index pages. This is usually the problem.
I'm sure that is the "problem", it was never a problem with Dreamweaver
though, so I'm not sure what I have to do. Do I need to delete the others? Do
I need to move the other index pages on my hard drive too?

Reading the other post, the problem may be too many index pages.
Nothing is "preventing me from doing it". The changes just aren't happening,
I'm making them, and then loading them, they just aren't showing up. I've
made changes to pages within the site, those pages accept the changes, it's
the home page, the index page that don't seem to be transferring.
Thanks for responding. If you have any other insights, please let me know.

Are you using the appropriate index page file as required by your remote
host? Is it supposed to be index.htm, index.html, or default.htm or
default.html or some other derivation?

Don't know if this counts, but when I put our logo to the left of the banner,
it goofed up my home page. I ended up with an index.htm and an index.html.
When I figured out how to put the logo on top and republished the entire web,
FP loaded the index as index.html and the index.htm went away. The UNIX
server now accepts my changes to the home page. I also took the suggestion
from one of the last pages in this group to rename my index.htm to index.html
to avoid future problems.

Thanks but that's exactly what I have been doing

What do you mean, your web site is showing a file which is being
automatically loaded? Do you mean your web site is showing a different page
instead of index.htm? This is a web server issue. A web server has a list of
default filenames. index.htm may be on the list, but not the first one.
Perhaps your host reset their list and the site is now showing a file that
came when your site was originally setup. Check to make sure that index.htm
is the top default filename. If not, either make it the top file if you can
(you may not since not all hosts let you modify the default filename list)
or rename it from index.htm to whatever the first filename in the default
filename list is.
Hope this helps,
