Thanks Rod, You're right, it's working now, just needed a little more patience.
I was looking last night at others web sites in the Showcase your Website section and many of them seem to be company made lead capture pages. It made me wonder if someone drops out is that what their site is replaced with?
Whether company made lead pages or not most of them seem to be just about GDI and with all the great pages GDI already has set up for us I have to wonder why so many are doing that. Sure my web site talks about GDI, but it also talks about much more, it's a personal website. Like the GDI training manual says I also think the best way to promote GDI is OFFline. Today I got a message from GDI listing some great ideas for what people can do with their web sites, just my opinion but I think things like showcasing what you can do with a personal, family, hobby, or special interest website would be far more effective in promoting GDI than more sites just about GDI would be.
I also have a concern about people using there web sites JUST to promote GDI. Did you ever here of Sky Biz. Of course the main reason it was shut down was because it was a front loading scam and GDI is NOTHING like that, but the FTC was also looking at it because all distributors seemed to be doing with their websites was promoting Sky Biz rather than developing other types of content. I hope that doesn't happen here and I really hope that GDI strongly encorages other types of content that really showcases different uses for web sites and that GDI members listen.
O.K. I'll get off my soap box now!

David I completely agree with you, and am looking forward to checking out your site. My question at this time is when you were having problems accessing ftp in the beginning did an error message like this come up??
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Apache/2.2.0 (Unix) PHP/4.4.2 mod_vhs/1.0.30 Server at adriennemaitland.ws Port 80
So Help from everyone please... if this is a typical error i'll be patient and wait the 2 days, however when i tried logging into the ftp.hosting.ws pages like it instructs in the email using my username and login as instructed it says not valid either so i can't even see if my directory file came up. btw way i use dreamweaver for design and their built in ftp... anyone think that could be part of the problem??
thanks for the help... and i'm excited about this... i just started my 7-day trial tonight, and i'm loving the amount of support and information i'm seeing out here
