By importing my website into dreamweaver I have detected the reason why I have been fighthing trying to get my top margin correct is due to the stylesheet. I do not want to work in dreamweaver and want to keep it in xsitepro.com

I can figure out from the source where and what to modify, but I want to keep my project as an xsitepro project and not have to permanently work in dreamweaver. I was able to get to the css by an export local but is there a way to import it back in? System seems to want to only able to import files in the *.xsp format. Is there a way to work with the stylesheet.css within xsitepro?

You are better off not modifying the xsp_styles.css but rather adding a custom script in the <head> area or calling a custom CSS file.

Why not just control the Top margin by setting it in XSite Pro --> Page Layout --> Page Margin --> Top?

Thanks for the tip. I missed that for my situation!

I know you do not reccomend it, but I am having some other weird things happening with my RSS and the such and would like to just delete them and start over. I changde a font size and now the widths and such are weired and I have some extra files the cleanup is not findiing in my project but loading to the hosting service. It appears my project is here:

C:\Users\Dell\Documents\XSitePro-Data\Sites\4

I realize it is very risky and care should be taken if making any changes to files directly in that folder. But how can I verify where my working project is? I see where we designate backups, but not the working files.

Thanks again

Your working files are actually in two different folders.

If you have found the website files in C:\Users\Dell\Documents\XSitePro-Data\Sites\4,
they will also be in the folder C:\Users\Dell\Documents\XSitePro-Data\Preview\4.
If you make a change to a file in the "Sites" folder you need to make the same change to the file in the "Preview" folder.

Jason can likely suggest the best way to handle this.
