I am ignorant about code. I called Adobe support who first sent me a tutorial that would show me how to insert a piece of code given to me by Constant Contact that is supposed to provide a link to my archived newsletters on Constant Contact. When the tutorial didn't help because I didn't know which insert options to choose, I called back and was told that there is a special problem inserting this kind of code so that it will provide a link. I was referred to this forum service, as a possible way to find the expertise that would guide me in inserting the code properly. Is there anyone who can help?

Hello,
404: Page not found
        This error is generated when there was no web page with the name you specified at the web site.
            Troubleshooting suggestions:
        Ensure the page you are linking to exists in the correct folder.
        Check your file name for case sensitivity . Index.htm is not the same as index.htm!
        Temporarily disable any rewrite rules by renaming your .htaccess file if it exists.

If you're getting that message then the page has either not been uploaded to the correct location on your remote server or the page name is not the exactly the same as the name of the link to it.

Thanks Nancy and Osgood,

By using the advice you both gave, I was finally able to successfully get the archive feature onto my website, where it seems now to be functioning properly.

nThe last step was to download WinMerge, compare the local and remote versions of the whatsnew page and somehow get the right one on the remote server.

Most of this is still a mystery to me. Why things work and why they don't. I don't know why the version I kept uploading got the remote server in a different form. and I couldn't swear that I understood how I got it to correct using WinMerge. But I did.

So I am still unsophisticated about code, but I have learned more about dream weaver and gained some more confidence in my ability to handle problems. I do wish it took less time. I would rather be writing for my website and newsletter than figuring out how to adjust to changes in the tech world.

None-the-less I am grateful for your help.

Do you have a web site? If yes, what is the URL to your online site and page on which you want the constant contact link to appear? Finally, what is the constant contact code please?

Thanks for answering Nancy.

here is the URL to the website page that I want the link to go on (at newsletter essays):

Harris WW Stern, PhD | Support For Change (When I copied it, it changed the address to this, but when I put my cursor on it the URL appears)

Here is the code that code that Constant Contact gave me:

I will be very appreciative of any help or advice you can give.

Just copy that block of code and paste it in your page where you want the list of newsletters to appear.

You will need to go into code view to do this. So place your mouse cursor in Dreamweavers Design View window where you want the list to appear then switch to code view and locate the cursor, which should be flashing, and paste in that block of code.

You wont see the list locally - you need to upload your page to your remote server and view it.

What is this piece of code supplied to you by Constant Contact? It must be a link that when clicked takes you to your newsletters hosted on the Constant Contact website?

If you post the bit of code in the forum so long as it doesnt contain any sensitive information like usernames, passwords etc someone could take a look and determine what it is and what you should perhaps to with it.
