Why would you want to split your site into two or mort parts? If you have a medium to large site that has multiple subjects it may make sense to split it up. If you have multiple people working on your site, it may make sense to split it and have each person work with their part, and let the links make it look like one site.
There two basic steps to splitting a site into two or more parts. First, you have to upload your "main" site as the "root site" when you Save Site To Internet. This makes the home page (index.html page) on the "main" site the one that people go to when they go to your site.
With the "second site" you have to make sure you DON'T upload it as the "root" site. Doing this will place it in a separate folder and allow your "main" site to exist peacefully with the "second" site.
You can specify uploading as the Root site in the Site Properties Dialog's Advanced Tab or you can do it in the Publishing Wizard, during uploading.
As far as linking, you have to add a link to the MyLinks section of the Links gallery to enable you to link your main site to the second site.
Let's say your website's address is http://www.webstudio.com. Lets say you named you second site, "second" and your main site is named "main". Let's also say the "home" page in the second site is "cat".
You'd add a link to MyLinks that is http://www.webstudio.com/second/cat.html
This is because the second site is uploaded onto you site and put into a folder named "second" and the page you want to link to, cat, is inside that folder and has a file extension of ".html".
For each link you want to have from the main site to the second site, just a link to MyLinks using the procedure above. When you want to add one of those links to a button, text or what-have-you, just drag it from MyLinks onto the appropriate object.
That's it!
