Organizing Your Web Site Using the Organize Site Page
Using the Organize Site window in WebSite Tonight, you can organize your Web site, specifying which pages to publish and the order that you want users to navigate to other pages. Although you can create more Web pages than your plan allows, you can only publish the number of pages listed in your plan. The number of pages you selected to publish versus the number of pages in your plan displays in the upper right corner of the screen.
