thanks for the feedback
will try that solution the next time
I managed to take the OLD pages from the OLD site
and dropped them in my folders of the new site and kept the same relative path names as before
with the pages, photos, videos, and players
then just edited the links to HOME page back to top level
and made a hidden link (for now) on the new site with the full address to the hidden pages
works so happy for now

thanks again
