Saving photo gallery offline

[MizB]

Our website was "accidentally" dropped by our host and they were unable to
save it. I am currently building a new and was unable to save my photo
gallery page without linking to a front page website. Is there a way I can
save it until I am ready to publish?

What are you using to build your photogallery?

If you're using FP's photogallery, it has to exist within your local web
site, before you can save it.

If you're using something else, like JAlbum, to create the gallery just
create it in a normal webfolder then when you're ready import that folder
into your FP website.

If you have been working strictly online...this is the major reason for you
to be working locally then publishing up to your server - the local copy is
your backup.

If I've incorrectly guessed at what you're trying to do, please post back
more info.

The photo gallery requires a FP web site, so your either have to save it within your current open
site or create subweb /subsite under the current web for it.

No, you are absolutely correct. I was trying to do a quick fix to get an
informational page back up for our customers. I have Front Page 2003 and was
working with the photo gallery, which is new to me. I had hoped after
getting all of my pictures completed I would be able to save until ready to
publish.

My previous experience with front page has always been on an already
published site.
Thank you for your help!!

You would save the photogallery pages, yes; they exist on your hard disk
within your frontpage site; but then you would only publish the site when
you're ready to do so. It won't be removed from your hard drive unless you
delete it.

If you're talking about working directly on the remote site, then that's not
a good idea as the server might crash - and cause a loss of your site -
exactly what has happened in your case.

So the best idea is to work on a local (on your PC) copy of the web; then
publish the whole thing to the internet when you're ready.

Doing it that way you have the live version and you have your local copy
that you work on and republish pages that have changed whenever you do
updates.

Then you can do your own backups of your site to CD, external Hard drive or
whatever in case your system fails.

Thank you all for your help. I will get some assistance on getting a new
host and it up and running again so that I can continue with Front Page

You were all a great help
Thanks again
