Ah, perhaps I mis spake (i am, sadley well over my pay grade when chating web stuff)...
yes, I launch frontpage, and in ie explorer I will get the "edit in front page" under File (when I am, er, was able to see my website, I could click on "edit with Front Page" and launch FP with my web site pages in edit mode).
But -- and this is where I am sure it is my newbie fault-- last I was able to do that was two days ago, I was able to modify and upload one page, but now my password won't work, my website won't come up, and my email is in limbo (including any orders).
