Very early this morning, something came to me would have long before occurred to many of you. originalgreen.org warehouses thousands of image files, and Joe says it's fine to use the same folder structure on BSH so I don't break any links on the blog and other pages. I had visions of rebuilding all this for weeks on BSH, but what occurred to me this morning was "why not download entire folders with the subfolder structure and images intact from the cPanel of the host I'm leaving soon?" So I tried it, and can't download folders directly, but I can zip them and download the zip file! Weeks saved!
Here's the question: There are over a thousand image files in the blog, but there are also 613 .html files. Some of the early ones are in the appropriate post folder with the images; others are elsewhere. My gut feel is to upload just the images and their folders and let the project file put everything else where it wants it when first published. Is this best practice, or something else?
