   2. Maintain files and folders on a personal computer  
      NOTE:  I keep files and programs (for modification and transfer) on a  laptop.
      (about 300 MB on a 16 GB drive)  This way I can  use my laptop computer connected to the internet to modify the website.  
     The folder structure is:  
          bqpa  
              mysite-bqpa  
                   public_html  
        All the files for the web pages and links (e.g. past festival reports)are in the “public_html” folder.  Background files ,e.g. officers.doc (MSWord)  Are in the “bqpa” folder. After changes, they are saved as htm files. 

 3. Make modifications as directed by the BQPA president or board  
      For website page modification I use:        bluegriffon.org  or kompozer.net  
for free download.  They have versions for PC, Mac,        and Linux.  
      For file transfer I use:        Filezilla-project.org  for free download.  Versions for PC, Mac and Linux.  
     Filezilla key data:  
     My site:  bqpa
