    Working on 3 sites Images getting mixed up

    My first Web site that I built with BV was Alureings com.
    Second one is for my wife Sarras Designs.a on going project.
    Third one is a remodel of PJmotorsports.com
    My problem is that all of the necessary images for these sites are ending
    up in the first web site images fileI believe automatically.
    I'm not to good at this but I learn fast.
    Any Ideas about how to set up the different files so they don't conflict.
    I did not see anything in the tutorials about this.
    Thanks For your Help.

    Sounds like you have published images with the same name on both all sites. Then when you publish a new page with a different looking image but with the same name it overwrites the one on the server that is for one of the other sites. (Need to rename the images) Might be handy to add a reference in the image name to each site IE: pj-canopy-cool.jpg

      Thanks
      What your saying is in the pjm file rename the images as you said PJM_image#000.jpg. But when I start a new file for a new site, is there a right way to name it so they don't get mixed up?

        Images should always have a descriptive name as its part of what the search engines use when sending someone to your site. So as an example you have an image called gen_tuning.gif & might be better called mikuni-slide-carburetor-pjm.gif & add the alt tag mikuni slide carburetor.
        The reason for this is! would you or a friend enter "gen tuning" into google to search for mikuni carb's.

          The file names should not get "mixed up" if you publish to the correct folder, i.e.
          public_html for your main domain
          public_html/addondomain#1
          public_html/addondomain#2
          Of course using the real addon domain names.
          What you may have done is to publish a page to the incorrect directory to cause the mix up.
          Been there...Done that..

            So what your saying is when I save my index page an name the folder which its for the first site thats going in the main BV file. That would be for example alureings.com. Second web site or addon have file like PJ motorsports.com/addondomain#1 ? Dividing the website in the main BV file didn't seam to be the problem. Q. Does an image file appear in the begining for the first site by BV after its published? I tried to seperate my images into a (pjm_image_file) that I created for the second web site.
            Images were named pjm_image2612. as an example I changed everything to match. when I loaded the page to work on them Page didn't recognise them so I put them all back into the original BV Image file and opened it up and they were there. Go figure. What am I missing? Thanks
