Hi Janine,

I have another question for you.

In the process of creating our Web site, I created a number of layout designs as I created my own templates. As a result, I went through many iterations of pages, those that ‘worked’ for me, and ‘others,’ which did not. As time went by I placed these roughs in folders labeled ‘iterations,’ occasionally using them for reference purposes. My question for you is this: Can I now remove or delete these folders, which include active links, without either damaging or causing a load more work to correct? Yikes! What have I done, shot myself in the foot or what?

Thank you so much for your precious time, I hope to hear from you soon.

Jamie

Hi, Jamie,

You just need to make sure that none of the pages in the site that you want to publish link to pages in the iterations folder. If there are links from the iterations pages back, that’s no problem.

Here’s a quick way to test. Open the folder on your hard drive (not in Dreamweaver) and move that iterations folder onto your desktop or something. Then go test your site. If all the links work, you’re fine, if you find broken links, you know you need to fix them before you publish the site. Ultimately, you don’t want any of those iterations pages on your site at all, so you’re best removing them anyway.

You can do a quick test of all your links by choosing Site >> Check Links Sitewide. If you find several pages link to the same page that has been changed, you can fix them all at once this way.

Hope that helps,
Janine

Janine, you are so fine! Thank you so much, and then some!  Jamie
