    Right, because you are not saving the images, stylesheet and other 
files the web page needs.

*******For saving other people's sites to mirror them:

file> save as> then choose "web page, complete" from the drop down box. 
That method will download the html file, and all its bits. It will put the 
html in the directory you choose, and it will make a subfolder in that 
directory with the same name, and put all the other bits of the site into it.
    It will adjust the html file so the links point to the folder. Then 
when you click on the html file it looks good because all the links work, 
the bits are there, and we can reconstruct the page online.


   ***When you are getting **MY** pages off the web to fix them:

   Use save as> "html only",, so that saving won't change the html. Better 
yet, "view > source" in notepad or arachnophilia then save the source page 
as html or txt.

FYI:
  html files are just txt files with a different extension.
    The htm or html extension tells the computer to use a browser to read 
the text file as a web page.  When in doubt, save as txt and rename later.

  Notes for the future:

    Not yet decided whether to let the mirrored pages keep their look, or 
whether to drop the content into a "library" template. Probably some 
combination of both, whatever is easy, looks good, and keeps the content 
owner happy.

    Personally, I won't let people put my content into an ugly website. 
That is how I ended up redesigning the KSN site... the old design made your 
eyeballs bleed, and Susan wanted to post some of my writing on it.

   I sort of have in mind something like the old spiritweb site, tons of 
content fom a variety of authors, but all of it plugged into the same page 
template.

   Alternatively, I sometimes give honourable folks some web space to do 
with as they please... like lobster's pages on cyber-shaktipat. Gave him 
ftp access to that domain only, an email address and a list. I think his 
list got deleted when the K-list went down...  So it could be more like a 
street fair...

   The important thing, is to preserve off site content that is useful to 
the FST course, in whatever way works best.
