Editing A Link - Post ID 78956

I'm new to the web editing scene so bear with me. I was recently placed in charge of updating and editing info on a web page. On this page is a link that brings up the year's schedule, which isn't anything fancy, just names, dates and times mostly.

What program can I use with CoffeeCup to find out where this linked page is and how to edit it ?

In HMTL Editor, I see the link in the lines of code, but I don't know how to follow it to the linked page to update it.

Could you post the lines of code here? Might help in pointing out the part you want.

Here is the lines of code that seem to deal with the link I'm trying to edit.

<P align=center><font face="Arial Rounded MT Bold" size="6">Summer's finally here ! Let's Ride !</font></P>
<P align=center><img border="0" src="colorun07%20025.jpg" width="640" height="480"></P>
<P align=center><a href="rideschedule.htm">The&nbsp; 2008 Ride and Activity
Schedule</a></P>

As far as I can tell, someone set this up in FrontPage and I'm trying to edit it with CoffeeCup so I'm not sure if that will be an issue. What this looks like on the actual page is the words "Summer's finally here ! Let's Ride !", then a picture of us riding our bikes and the link for last year's schedule below that.

Again, I'm trying to edit the info in that link but I can't seem to locate it. It looks like it's simple text, nothing fancy, and once I get to it, I can easily edit what it says. I'm just too much a newbie to figure out how to get to it :(

Well, this bit:

<P align=center><img border="0" src="colorun07%20025.jpg" width="640" height="480"></P>


Displays a picture whose file name is "colorun07 025.jpg" The %20 is just a place holder for there being a space in the file name.

Then this bit:

<P align=center><a href="rideschedule.htm">The&nbsp; 2008 Ride and Activity
Schedule</a></P>


Links the text to another page. That page has the file name "rideschedule.htm" so that's the page I think you're looking for.

Where would I find that page ?

I'm sorry, I know this is a simple thing, but I've never done HTML editing before so it's a brave new world for me, and not always a good one, lol.

That would be up to Front Page and where it stores the HTML versions of the site. I've never used it, so really cannot say. You could always do a search on the file name in Windows Explorer.

Basically I think you would need to get and ftp client such as coffeecups free ftp or direct ftp. Would also help to know who your hosting with.
At that point you'll need the login info such as a user name and password so you can sign on to the server to get the files. Then You can make a folder somewhere and download all the files and edit them in Html Editor and upload the page you made a change to. In my opinion that is. :D
