I've read some of the posts and tried everything I can think of and still not getting it.
I have simple html basic text files I trying to put on VSD pages,
using the "html tool" I've cut and pasted header and body (see html below)I'm not sure if "html object" is applicable to what I'm doing and if i need to type anything in there. Alsounclear about pop "setting>additional files>add files. I don't additional
files under the settings menu just add files. I've tried to add my html files to the vsd files using "add files" and no luck.
body html
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<body>

Header html
<html>
<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
http-equiv="content-type">
<title>autim</title>
</head>
<html>
Note: added ,<html> to each in an attempt to try it, since wasn't sure if it would work as being opened in header and closed in body
Any help would be appreciated

Visual Site Designer is great for making it's own pages according to the content you place on them. you should not need to add any html code if you are just add the text. The Doc type is selected automatically, yet can be changed. You should be able to enter the text you wish

If your heart is set on adding HTML to your VSD site, the simplest thing to do is to use the HTML shortcut key:
http://www.sassydesigns.org/files/CC/HTMLTool.jpg
Click anywhere on the page, and an HTML box will pop up:
http://www.sassydesigns.org/files/CC/HTMLTool2.jpg
You can create any 'title' (just to remind you what that one is), then input the HTML code in the area below:
http://www.sassydesigns.org/files/CC/HTMLTool3.jpg
Click "OK" and sometimes the box will automatically size (if you have size specifications in your HTML), otherwise you can resize the 'box' manually:

Preview of the result:

An even better way to do what you're trying to do is to simply add the text and link the portion you need linked directly on your VSD page like so:
http://www.sassydesigns.org/files/CC/HTMLTool6.jpg
One thing I noticed is that there seems to be too much 'code' in your current HTML - and the link you have isn't working if you're trying to direct the link to a specific forum entry (the link just takes you to the main page). Here's some simplified HTML code to get the same results as above:

The nice thing about using the HTML feature within VSD is you don't need fancy HTML code, it does the 'hard work' for you...less is more!
Hope that helps!
