I use SiteSpinner Pro to maintain a simple organizational website. I recently switched to a new computer, and thought that I'd carefully saved EVERYTHING on an external backup drive before making the switch. My old computer has now been reformatted for use by a family member.

Somehow, the project files for my website were lost--lots of pages, many with other people's writing! The .html files and images are safely there, both on the backup drive and now on my new computer. I didn't think I'd ever turned off any autobackup option, but when I checked our website account, the directory there shows only .html files, no .ims files or anything else (other than images). I've searched both my new hard drive and the external drive--and the old computer, just in case, looking both for the .ims extension and for the first part of some of the file names, in hopes that these were just misplaced, but no luck--they're definitely not there.

The website is still up (http://northbranch.quaker.org), and I suppose if I absolutely have to start from scratch and manually reproduce all those pages, I can do it using either the .html files I do have saved or the ones from the website. But that's going to require far more time than I have available, and I need to update our site soon. Is there any way I can import the .html files directly into SiteSpinner Pro?

Please tell me there is!

Thank you to anyone who can help!

Unfortunately, no, not directly. Maybe this would help.
