[support] Uploading and getting online

[Steve Hays]

Cary,

Your comments caused me to rethink the memory issue.  First, I  
misprinted the max size, which was 51,000 KB (51 MB).  then, the  
realization that my beginning site was over the normal size caused me  
to rethink why.  I flushed the cache and ended up with 2MB, which  
loaded right up.

I'm still not done with all my problems, but at least I'm making  
progress.  Many thanks.
