Are there any records in your links.db? I think you need at least one to build the pages. You need to start reading your error messages. They tell you, for the most part, exactly what is wrong!

Just to confirm, Bobsie is right about needing to have a link before it will build. Am I the only one who finds this counterintuitive. If I'm building a brand new site, one would think good design technique would recommend developing the category structure prior to dumping in links. It's not a big deal but does seem unusual to me. Nevertheless I can now build so I'm off...by the way, probably a lazy question but...how do I turn off it popping up with a login window all the time when I go look at the site? Thanks.
