Hi A.D, thanks for your mail, I had tried the tutorials but just could n't sort it, I have now managed to sort it, the page had not loaded correctly, uninstalled and then reinstalled, I have now managed to down load my info and update my details, just got to remember how to change the details on source page, I am using a WYSIWYG webdesign programme.

Cheers John

I was using WS_FTP to upload my site, but it was only a free trail, I found it really easy to use, now trying Smartftp not as easy to use, but seem to have got there in the end.

I'm sure you'll get used to it John. Now you've got it up and running it's simply one click to select the file you want to upload and another click on the arrow to start the upload.

Thanks Howie, just got to remember how to insert my photo on a page via the source code, thats my next task when I get the time. At the moment its updated and running, its had nearly 1000 hits from all over the world, not bad for a little website.
Keep on keeping on
