Site Definition Change Help

[Guest]

Please help me to understand how to name a newsite with and existing site name. I have an existing site created in Dreamweaver and live. I have created a new site within a folder Unnamed Site 3/ on the same local drive (not within the root folder) where this existing site lives. I did not want to name it the same name as my existing site name,so not to confuse any of the files- since I had to use some existing files and also create new ones. I have never entirely replaced an existing site with another using the same domain name. Obviously all my template files and pages have a path of Unnamed Site 3/Blah/Blah throughout them. How (please tell me this is possible) do I change the path throughout to the existing domain name throughout the site files. I hate to seem so silly but I never had to put up a replacement site before. Do I use Change links sitewide? I have so much done already, it just wouldn't make sense that there was not a way.

Name the new site "Original name NEW". Give it the same Remote site
definition as the old site. When the time comes, move all of the original
site files folders on the remote server into an archive folder (preserving
the hierarchy) on the remote site (or even just delete them, and upload the
new site. Bada bing, bada boom.

Thankyou but I guess what I was asking is when I change the name will the links change sitewide? As I said it is named Unnamed Site 3/... The Local Root folder and the Images folder are U\Unnamed Site 3\
The links are relative to the document and the http address is the current domain URL (www.-----.org) When I change the Site name will it flow through the code so that my links are not broken?

I really appreciate your help.

The name of the site should never appear in any of your links. It's only
for your convenience.
