I am using Frontpage to rebuild my site. The site I am rebuilding is still
online. I wanted to keep it online until I completely transferred it over to
a new format. My links are finished on the index page and of course it is
using the same URL as my online site. The problem is when I save and preview
to test the links it is bring up my current site that is online. What can I
do about that, do I need to take it offline?
 
Are you using Frontpage Navigation bot system? Usually when I have needed to
create a brand new website I just create www.example.com/new and have this
folder with all my new web pages / images etc.

If you are using the Frontpage Navigation system you can convert this new to
a subsite and it will function outside of the main web
 
Are you developing it locally or online? If you're doing it online, create
a new subweb and do the development there and then when you're ready publish
from the sub web to the live site. If your links look like /pagename.htm (a
slash in front of it) then it will look for the file relative to the root
(your old files). remove the slash to make it relative to the new location.
