Here are some basic instructions about the changes I've made to your site and what you need to do from here on out.

1. First, in the root directory you'll find several new versions of the main pages of the site, plus a couple of extras:

These pages are all essentially complete and individually optimized for the search engines.  I used the old information from the site and reformatted it to fit the new template.  I also carried over the corresponding pictures.  Of course, you're welcome to tweak the content, add/subtract pictures, and so forth, but these are ready to go as-is.  The only thing you would need to do after you finish setting up the rest of the site is to rename your old index page (while connected via FTP) to something like "index_old.htm", and then rename the new index page above to simple "index.htm".

2. Second, you'll notice a directory named "Content2002".  This contains the following pages:

Here is where the bulk of your work to finish the site lies.  The first three pages are essentially complete just like the main ones, although you may want to tweak them a bit.  For each of the tour package pages, though, you'll need to do some formatting.  What I did was copy over mostly the text material from your old pages, and I did it in a way that removes all of the formatting information that was on the old pages.  I had noticed that you had probably written the itineraries in something like MS Word and then copied the info into the HTML pages.  That makes formatting easy, but it does two bad things.  First, all of the strange formatting codes interfere with how the search engines index those pages, and second, the pages don't always render correctly on everyone's browser out there.  So you will need to go through those pages after you download the folder to your computer and do three things:

  1. Re-format the text so that it has consistent headlines, paragraphs, bold highlights on key information, etc.  I already formatted the text style as Verdana Size 2, which is a perfect readable font for web pages.  You'll need to do the rest...a suggestion is to settle on a consistent look from page to page, i.e. Bold the page title on every page, bold the lead-in words of each paragraph, etc.  Users expect consistency on a well-done web site.
  2. Re-insert any small photos that you'd like sprinkled throughout the text.  I chose not to mess with those simply because you have a better handle on all the photos that you have, and how you want to present them.  One caution:  with the exception of the actual photo gallery pages, I would put no more than 3 to 5 small photos on any one page to save download time, especially on your itinerary pages.  Another suggestion:  use the wonderful introductory paragraphs that you have on each itinerary page for the introduction on each general information page.  That way you'll make the introduction pages longer (with more information for the search engines) and by cutting the intro off of the itinerary pages, you'll shorten them up...they are painfully long from a usability standpoint.  If you have questions on this, don't hesitate to call me.
  3. Insert the thumbnail photos (100 pixels wide) into the new tables on the photo gallery pages for each tour page.  Hyperlink those thumbnails (put a border around them) to the full size photo in your images directory.  By the way, I remember you mentioning how confusing your photo situation was:  a suggestion is to make several directories in your images directory, perhaps "thumbnails", "full-size", "graphics" etc., and then move all photos to the appropriate directory.  The only thing in your root directory should be your main pages and the sub-directories.  Again, call me if this is confusing.

Once you have completed formatting the information and placing your photos, then it's time to take the new site "live", simply by renaming the index pages as I described above.  And once the site is live, then the fun begins...submitting it to the search engines so that you are found by the rest of the world.  The instructions for that will be on page 2:  instructions2.htm
