Hey! What's going on?
Vineyard.NET is slowly transitioning towards a more
standards compliant website that separates the look and
feel
of the site from the content.
This is done using a technology called Cascading Style
Sheets (CSS). Unfortunately, support for CSS in older browsers
(specifically, anything prior to a version 5.0) ranges from
poor and incomplete to simply wrong and painful for both
viewers and designers. Ultimately, there is no way to reliably
design a CSS-based layout for older web browsers. Vineyard.NET
will continue to ensure the overall functionality of its
website for older browsers but the overall experience will be
a little more spartan than before.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and
invite you to consider upgrading your web browser. For what
it's worth, we like Mozilla but just about any
modern browser, including Internet Explorer, should
suffice.

What is a private website?
Every Vineyard.NET user is given a website at the address
http://personal.vineyard.net/.
Normally, information put on the Web is accessible to anyone on the
Internet. However there may be times that you want to make informaiton
available to some specific people, but not to everybody. For example,
you might have pictures of your children that you want to make
available to their grandparents, but not to potential kidnappers.
For this reason, Vineyard.NET created the Private Website. The Private
Website is a special directory called private that is located
inside your website directory. You control who has access to
this directory by using the Vineyard.NET
Private Websitecontrol page .
What are private website users?
Your website is kept private by the use of usernames and
passwords. Initially your website starts off with one user:
you. You can add more users to your website using the
Private Websitecontrol page.
For each user, you will be asked to provide a username, a
password, and an e-mail address. You can use the
Private Websitecontrol page
to change a user's e-mail address or password at anytime. You can also
send e-mail to all of your users.
How do I upload files to my private website?
You can upload files to your website using the Windows FTP command or
an FTP client such as Fetch or WS_FTP. Follow these steps:
Open a connection to personal.vineyard.net with your FTP client.
Provide your username and password.
Change to the "private" directory. (Usually, this is done with the
chdircommand.
Change your file mode to binary.
Use the put or send command to upload each file.
