I think this is in the right forum - at least for the 1st question - if not, please redirect me so I can put it in the right one. Thank you!
I am in the process of redesigning our website (for new content and new functions). The original website is
www.dvmvac.com (a non-profit site).
Not wanting 'visitors' to the current website to get confused by the new website in progress, I created a new folder at the hosting site and put the redesigned files there. So the new 'stuff' is
www.dvmvac.com/REDESIGNnew.
IS THAT THE RIGHT WAY TO SET UP MY HOST FOLDER/FILE
STRUCTURE FOR A REDESIGN?
Now, the DVM I'm working with would like to add a search facility.
I tried what the hosting people had but it didn't work at all. They suggeste
d the Google Custom Search Engine.
I've implemented it and it works ... SORT OF.
By that I mean when a search is done, it 'looks' at the original site for 'h
its' - NOT in the new files.
Maybe the problem is that the 'new stuff' is not indexed ... the 'old stuff
' is.
Also, when I set up a page for the search to put the results in, Google
wouldn't use the 'new site' - tried again using 'old site' and it worked.
Any suggestions?
Sorry to be so verbose - just the facts!?!
