Thanks for taking the time to reply. :)
I might sound a bit dense (sorry), but bear with me, as I hope
to get this thing operable.
What do you mean by:
"Path of links on pages?"
"Starting at the start page?"
For example, in htdig.conf, at present, there is:
# This specifies the URL where the robot (htdig) will start. You can specify#
multiple URLs here. Just separate them by some whitespace.# The example here will
cause the ht://Dig homepage and related pages to be# indexed.# You could also index
all the URLs in a file like so:# start_url:
`${common_dir}/start.url`#start_url: http://www.nationalist.org/
Are you saying that this is incorrect? Do I need to add
something here?
If so, what?
Or, are you stating that something must be added to each page
in the site? There are thousadns of pages and this would be
a rather difficult proposition (hope that wouldn't be necessary).
If you are saying that something has to be added on each page,
what -- exactly -- needs to be added, please.
What do you mean by:
"leave the nav bar indexable, at least on the front page"
The reason I am in the dark is that about 40% of the site appears
to be indexing all right. But the other 60% is lost.
I am trying to understand your analysis, but could you,
perhaps, simply tell me what exactly to do (such as,
"type this," "cut and paste" that, or something practical
(rather than just theoretical).
As I said, I am not very technical.
Much appreciated.
