At The Bright Empire....
I don't remember how to do any of this stuff, but obviously, from the comments, others do.

But you actually set up the domain. If you gave me a password for the registration, I can't remember it.

I don't want to do this without your approval - it is your copyright etc. If you give me the okay, I can put it up, post the website address, and then take it down. Hopefully, it will mean in the meantime you are comfortable that you won't have lost too much if you switch over to a new host. CBaby is right that the resulting site is static (ie individual pages of content are each uploaded, rather than effectively a database which generates pages) but this may have been how you were doing it anyway, and I don't think it is a significant disadvantage for creative sites that don't have 1000s of pages (if it wasn't for the comments section, I would recommend SWM run a static site).
The problem isn't access, but the fact that the tools for editing the site are obsolete.

I didn’t recall that I’d done that. I wouldn’t have a clue to password, email address or even what name I used. Heck, that was 15 years ago or whatever. Looks like you need a new domain. Bummer.

I'm ready with new material. including a story I just finished and text (which I can update further) for the home page, About page and What's New page. More could follow. So what's the drill? I host an archive site at iPage, so I guess I could contact them to set up a new site.

Are you saying the entire old site could be recreated from archives? Hostway told me that couldn't be done because the editing tools and internal links were based on obsolete software that came with the Power Book G4 it was created on.

But there's no longer a Bright Empire site I can post the short novel on, and I gather from Fats here at SWM that it could take a couple of months to create one – or recreate the old one, if that's at all possible. For those of you who are members of the Aurora Universe Readers Group, the illustrated PDF version is available under Files there (Empress-3.pdf). There are so many pictures that it may be impractical to submit them for insertion in a posting here at SWM over the weekend.
Hope you all get to see it, one way or anofher, And happy Summer Solstiice (It's summer in more than half the world now)!

I see that Parts 1 and 2 of Empress of the Dawn III are already posted in the Library section here. I'd misunderstood some correspondence with him last week, about how the novel as a whole was far too large for the Library and could only be put up in parts; I didn't realize that he was in fact doing that instead of just suggesting it; I'd sent him a docx version as an alternative to the huge pdf, with suggested pix to insert, but hadn't heard back after that.
Because Sunday is supposed the proper day for story uploads, I hadn't been looking for the docx version, with or without pix,to appear until some time today. But in fact Woodclaw had put up Part 1 Wednesday and Part 2 yesterday; (Views thus far are 270 and 66, respectively – far more, I'm sure, than downloads of the pdf file at AURG), Part 3 was posted by title rather than author; you can find it here:
www.superwomenmania.com/index.php?option...-part-3-4&Itemid=228.
Again, my profound apologies to our librarian.

But way back in 2007, because of a seeming threat to that AURG group, some of us set up al alternative group at Google. Few joined, and there was little activity. But maybe Aurora Universe fans should migrate there now:

I like chapter 1; it's nice to see Kalla doing some more traditional superheroing... though I have to wonder where she puts all that equipment, including a spinal brace when she's travelling; does she have a backpack?

Happy Birthday... and to my astonishment, I actually remember that old TV show. Dragnet started first, but it was devoid of anything remotely sexy. But when 77 Sunset Boulevard came along, it was steamy and sexy and exotic, at least for the late 50’s and from my perspective living in a small town in the Midwest.
It planted the seed in my brain that LA was both exotic and dangerous and filled with beautiful women waiting to be saved my the good guys. Who unlike in Dragnet, were more than eager to enjoy the rewards of their good deeds. We’d say they were womanizers today, but it wasn’t until the James Bond movies were firmly established as a cultural force that I heard that term used.
We’re getting old, Brantley. But still kicking a little.

Just noticed that ALL the links at the AUWG page are dead now, even those that should be live (as with infinitybridhe.net as well as my own site). Must be at Tripod's end. Maybe the "dead" sites that are still live could be given links here. Can't update links at Bright Empire because the site has been frozen since March 2018.

and what I want to know if it's hung somewhere. Your story will watch in World War 2.
ah, what about Ben Shaffer from Scrunbes Golden planet such conquered me in such a way that I would not know what to say or do if it happened to me.
Sometimes I can think of new story lines or stories of what would happen if ... and it makes me want to send private messages, to you or the creator of all this, but for that reason and because they can be considered silly I don't do it, Not to bother him.I hope one day to read new stories or new chapters of the incomplete stories of your website.
Thank you for answering Mr. Brantley.
