Mark,

I finally got my password for cPanel  from Heather and  I plunged into password 
protecting a web page.

Or so I thought. I assumed that a web address was a directory and I thought I 
was protecting a web page but turned out locking up much more.

There is still one folder jamesphurley.com/District3 that I am locked out of. 
Is there a way in cPanel to unprotect a page? (It would be helpful to include 
this kind of info in the help link. Not any time soon, I afraid. I suspect that 
RR is bitten off more than they are able to chew at the moment. Witness the 
downtime on Rev OnLine User Samples.)

Also, the page I use for my neighborhood association is lvrmna.on-rev.com    At 
one point everyone in the neighborhood was locked out of that site due to a 
password protection I didn't realize I was making. Very embarrassing. A little 
knowledge is a dangerous thing. 

I recall in the beginning that my deal with RR was a web presence with the url 
jamesphurley.on-rev.com (I own a domain name jamesphurley.com) which they were 
able to shorten for me to jamesphurley.com. Is this just an alias for 
jamesphurley.on-rev.com? Is it possible through cPanel to shorten 
lvrmna.on-rev.com to simply lvrmna.com?

I hate this stuff. I have no idea what's going on under the hood.

Thanks,

Jim Hurley
