Hope someone has a simple answer to this one! :)

Being the very disorganized person that I am, I never seem to keep all my images and such in the same place on my PC. Needless to say, when I try to move a site from one machine (say my desktop) to another (my laptop) so i can work on it, I lose many of the images as they are spread all over my desktop PC drive. Is there some easy way to "pack and go" with a site in development once you start it?

Thanks!

hmmm.... I believe you are asking where the files are located for the site (complete with graphics) is located. IF you import your graphics into your site you should have no problem, simply go to the directory that you save the site to and you are going to be copying the .vnu file that VSD works with-THEN you have to copy the entire folder that VSD has created: it will create a folder named like the .vnu file : example: If I had saved my site as mysite.vnu then VSD would create a folder named mysite_website. Copy the folder and its entire contents and you are done. I hope this helps and wish I were a better explainer. I don't know of any other easy way to do what I think you are trying to accomplish. Peace and may the Hand of God be upon you.

I too had your situation once. I had grapics strone on my computer from here to China. It's a pain but take your site(s) one at a time and each graphic, move it into one folder for that site, delete your graphic off your VSD page and reinsert it from your new site folder. Then when you save your VSD file, save it in that same folder. Doing that has allowed me to move sites from desktop to laptop, etc. and keeps everthing organized.

PS: That's not a dumb question...:)
