Never mind, I got it to work. I had http://www.newpage.com/index.html since
the index file was on newpage was .html. I just changed it to .htm and
changed the.htaccess file back to http://www.newpage.com/
Now I just have one last question for you or anyone else...I'm hoping my new
site will gradually spider on Yahoo since the old was there. Should I delete
all the old files from my old site, or wait a bit?
Many thanks again,
JB
