   Yay! I think that is funny. You are certainly the right person for the 
job! Attention to details.

   Not exactly.. homesite and arachnophilia added it when a new file was 
created, but I deleted most of them because I thought they were probably 
not right. My version of homesite4.1 is really old. I have tried to update 
it many times but I could never get the purchase link of the Allaire 
website to work. Now it is too old to update.  Might be time to invest in 
Dreamweaver... it comes bundled with the new version of homesite.

   Really? Like what?

>1. What is the link to "Mystery School"?

   It is an essay about mystery schools as a path to enlightenment. Mystery 
schools tend to start out with ego based magic to build faith, and 
surrender comes at the higher degree levels.

   I'll forward it to the list, it is not up because I do not think it is 
very well written. Starts out argumentative, and does not get clear. Same 
with the Merkaba page. I have several versions but none have passed 
approval with me yet.

   On the other hand, some pages like the power chakra page, were never 
finished... I started writing it, then pasted in an email on the topic and 
did not finish editing, or even add all the paragraph breaks. It needs to 
be edited. Sometimes pages get away on me, like that... unfinished pages 
get uploaded by accident when my ADD hyperfocus runs out of steam.

   It was supposed to be an overview of my teachings, a  synopsis of the 
lessons on the lesson pages.
   I have a printable pdf file that could go there. :)
   The PDF file needs editing too, so that it is easy to print it into a 
handy little reference booklet, six double sided 8.5"x11" pages folded and 
stapled.

    Right now it is a doc file. I did print it as a booklet for the weekend 
workshop, but I did the layout by hand, cut and pasteup. If someone who is 
good with "word" wants to take on that job...? I can send you a print copy 
of the booklet.

   Sigh.
   Good webdesign rules say to have one to list site versions and updates, 
but I rarely remember to update the updates page! Most of my sites have an 
updates page that is not up to date. I think I will replace them with an 
SSI "Date last modified" in the footer... or not. Some pages on 
domin8rex.com have not been updated in 4 years, and may never be... it is a 
museum of a past time.

   Hmm, the reason why I set it at three hours was for discretion with 
private professional sessions, so the content would not linger for others 
to read...
    but thinking about it, I usually use a private chatroom for those 
anyhow, and I have learned how to clean rooms... so no prob!
   Besides, it is neat for me to peek occasionally and see if anyone has 
been there.

   Good!

   They were broken?? How did that happen? Odd.

   Cool.


>4.  Cleaned up elist.html, lessons.html,
>Had some broken link.

   Were you just removing links to pages not yet complete, or what?


>5. Cleaned up meditation/grounding.html

   OK, so this is where I got totally ungrounded and started hyper 
ventilating and pacing. Actually, I am still hyper ventilating, but I'm not 
pacing, except to the bathroom 3x. ah, ah, ah, ... make that 4x...

    So folks, this is MY learning curve... learning to trust. I knew it was 
going to come up, I just did not expect to get hit with it straight up, 
right away like this. Holy cow... !

   .. yes indeed that page is my sacred cow, it has a stronger spell on it 
than any of my other pages and I have never let anyone else touch it before...

   Back in 1997 when I first converted the grounding email to a web page,
http://www.domin8rex.com/serpent/spirit/ground.htm

what should have been an hour's job took MONTHS!  Everytime I opened the 
page to work on it, I would adjust a word here or a space there, and fall 
into an open eyed trance staring at the screen for hours!

    I later figured out it was Goddess charging up the page, through me... 
which makes not much sense because the writing was awakening people when it 
was just an email!
   I let someone mess with the energy of the page, ONCE and had to reset it 
afterwards, she was not clear on the concept, people were getting scared 
and sick, or getting nothing.  I have not even let people reprint it for 
other stuff, except Irman for his book, (Indonesian) and Susan, recently, 
for the KSN workshop folder.

Breathing almost normally now...

   So Sachiko, this is not about you, thank you for your work.

   It is about me and my attachment to my work. I know I complained about 
flaky volunteers years before, but I also recognise "I attract what occurs" 
and do not blame them. It was a failure of my leadership. Goddess has me 
boxed into a corner so I have to try the volunteer route again, and I knew 
working with you all would trigger stuff so I could identify what IN ME 
attracted the previous result... let go of fears. Make room for new growing.

   I know I am too "precious" about my work, and really... the grounding 
page on K-teacher is one of the weaker ones. Dunno what I was thinking, 
blue text on purple... it is a bad design. I think I was afraid to fall 
into it and get stuck for months, again. Wanted to get the site up.

   I am thinking to upload the new version of FST to another folder, so you 
all can see where I am at, with it... I usually use a "work.html" file to 
keep notes on progress, what pages are done and what needs work... and as a 
handy index to check pages. The secret index link I sent before, started 
life as a work file... but I have not yet created one for this project, so 
maybe someone else can get started on that, once the folder is uploaded...
    There is stuff to do on every page that does not have to be done by 
me!  I want to focus on the writing.
   The files are partly updated via search and replace, but that could not 
do everything, so there are areas where the content needs to be moved into 
the proper place... like,  the links to the videos were preserved, but have 
to be moved to enclose the new "video" gif, etc.
