   I'm not sure either. Sorry if I was hard on you. Usually when I write 
late at night, I re-read the posts in the morning before sending...

  I compared files via FTP, and the ones on my hard drive are 4 months 
newer than the ones you are seeing.  Ooops my bad. I have uploaded the new 
files into a folder called poplinks. It never occurred to me you were 
looking at old versions. I thought I had uploaded them already.

   Looking at the fscnew directory, it is a mess of old versions and 
bits... Will have to go through and sort it... later!

   The new lessons.

   That is a little odd, perhaps the file is misnamed?

  I know. No need for me to do it.

   Wierd!

   Thanks.

   Probably unfinished from an earlier repair.

   I was thinking of the lesson list and links list emails from the 
archives.. but I see they are not much use.
   The new one is called worknew.html and the only error I see is it counts 
61 lessons because the grounding anim is still listed as a separate lesson.

    I uploaded the new library folder to the K-list site.  I will also load 
it to FSCnew so you can see the shape of the template, and how two 
spiritweb pages have been done.
   /public_html/fscnew/library
   It might look weird because the images are missing.

    It is all ok. Good thing it happened or you would have been updating 
old files.

   The nice thing about a board is the topics don't all go into once place, 
they are separated for easy looking up, and can be edited as work 
progresses. The downside is without incoming mail, people forget it 
exists... (I sent an email to all K-Goddess board members two days ago, but 
there are no new posts. :(

   I set up a board back when we started... fire-serpent.org/helperz

   Yes.

    Could be.. but I did that already. When I was working on the lesson 
pages I found it easier to create files to link to, and then delete the 
hidden links from the lesson code.
   If you want to work from a master list, use the archived email of broken 
links.

There is a whole list of spiritweb files to be recovered...  but it does 
not tell you what links are from what lesson. Thus, I found working with 
the popups is more effective. YMMV

   Whups, my foot in mouth..

   It is that my own work is very challenging, and it can be hard for me to 
switch gears when hyperfocused... and sometimes when I do, the inspiration 
for the interrupted project is gone. I have to start over.

     Lori is taking quotes from my sites, and rearranging them into a 
proposal and the result is good but odd. Different energy, and .. I dunno, 
it feels like a patchwork quilt, the bubble is not coherent. I'm having 
difficulty editing it because I am not sure what her intention was... I 
dunno the audience.  She needs it right away to send out on Wed.

   I was trying to do it, but it was like your email was tugging at my sleeve.

   There were some things coming up for me, unfinished energy from another 
interaction between us. I'm email you about it privately.

  Yay! Thanks!
