To all who lose pages on the web;
whether you've done a ton of work or not, an easy way to save your latest
page is to simply go to your web page after updating it, click on your web
browser title bar to get to "view source" or "view code".  A text page will
appear that contains your html code.  At this time, you can save it as a
text file to be opened later with another program such as MSWord or other
and then perhaps save it as .htm or .html file or just copy and paste the
text into your site building interface.  No reason not to have your latest
code saved somewhere locally if using a web interface site builder.  This
works with any web page and can allow one to copy code to adapt to their own
page, although I don't condone copying someone else's code.  After a few
years of this technique, I learned what the tags represent and now just bang
out the code in notepad and go.    Graphics take a little more effort but
right clicking any graphic will allow one to save it on their HD to upload
later.  If you need a site's cgi or java scripts, you prolly know this stuff
already.
As for isp's, there a dime a dozen and mostly cheap if you shop around.
