Thanks to Bruzer, my site is finally up and running. He was a great help to this tech-challenged guitar player, and I really appreciate it!

Thanks to everyone for your help and advice. You are a great bunch of people!

When I save my web site it creates a subfolder of the same name as my root folder (named the same as my web site name) along with it's corresponding "files" folder. I end up with 2 folders with the same name (one is a sub folder). I had the same problem with with a previous name, so I made a new root folder, Healthy Assets and a new "files" folder into which I put all of my image files from the 2 sets of "files" folders. I put the old vnu file under my new Healthy Assets folder and renamed it to Healthy Assets-v6.vnu. Now I have the same problem. Which folder(s) are correct? Can I get rid of one or more of these folders? I tried to send a screen shot of Windows Explorer with annotations but I couldn't get it into a legible format so the structure below is what my file structure looks like. Thanks in advance for any advice.

VSD always saves the "(site name)-v6_website" folder to the same folder where you are saving your .vnu file. The website folder it creates always contains the files folder. The folders which VSD saves are the ones you need.

You might try saving your .vnu file again. Then check your folders to see which ones contain files created at the same time you saved the .vnu file. Those will be folders you definitely need. You should not rename them or move them or their contents.

However, move the other folders elsewhere after quitting VSD. Restart VSD and load up your .vnu file. If everything is correct, then the folders you moved would seem to be redundant, but you may want to keep them around just in case. It may end up being the case that the "files" folder is missing files which VSD expects to find there, but you had previously moved them to another folder. After all, VSD has no way of knowing how things may have been moved around.
