207 individual pages made up my 5 different websites... Approximately 450 photos to be uploaded and cataloged, and the address of each photo changed in the code for each page. It's a great deal of work, and I simply don't have the spare time to devote to it now.

do you have the site structures mirrored on disk? should be pretty simple to FTP them to a new location. Since you say you need to change the address for each image in the code I assume you've used absolute URLs rather than relative URLs, thats just a couple of minutes work to search and replace the URLs (I use BBEdit on a Mac but theres a few batch s&r utilities out there for XP.)


edit: havent tried it but this looks pretty good: http://www.divlocsoft.com/, also has regex (I can help with the patterns if you're new to regex)

Bastards is an understatement. I hope you are able to find the time to rebuild all of that WW. :salute

AT&T has always managed to kill their customer base at times when they should be trying to build business...problem is the company is run like a government organization...top heavy and stupid.

Unfortunately I have to keep my cell phone account with them because they have the best coverage and calling plan for my needs...just like my ridiculous ISP...got me by the short hairs.

and the address of each photo changed in the code for each page.
Here's a tip for future use, which you may have learned over time; When using pictures on a web page if you keep the Resource Locator as simple as possible as restricted to folder/file then as long as your folder structure remains the same the images won't have to be re-referenced within the page.
eg.
Use <img src="myfolder/mypicture.png">
Not [img width= height=]http://www.mysite.com/myfolder/mypicture.png[/img]

T'is a same abut your site. I enjoyed reading your blog.

A trick I used in the bad old days when I ran an adult web site was to copy and paste the code I needed to change into my word processing program, use find and replace to change the addresses, then copy and paste the updated code back into the htm file. Saved me hours of work. Course now with PHP changing one line of code can update an entire websites url's.

Ohh golly goodness you cannot have the service without buying the preli... I mean premium service.

I mean they make good food, but they cannot run a call center.

You cannot get a phone service in your own country these days unless you live in India.
