What to do with old website still online & duplicate content
Thanks Dirk - I only wanted to keep it short term. As long as all link juice is passed to new site then I can just kill it off. I wanted to redirect specific pages because the new sites page names are different. That would be the only reason to install WP, to facilitate redirects. The old site is so old it is done in frontpage so there is no htaccess file. I see you did find a piece of dup content but the errors have been there for months. I just changed that page name last week and apparently didn't 301 it. I think the strange url you found might be part of the problem, perhaps they are just bad relative links. I will try screaming frog. Thank you for your help.

Website server errors
I've been spending time fighting other fires since posting this question. Yesterday when WP automatically updated it crashed my site. I determined it was related to woo commerce...not good since most of my site is in the product categories & product pages of woo. I spent all night an today on it and got my site working. I read this forum which helped a lot https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-https-conflicts-with-woocommerce?replies=4 When I turned off the force SSL button the site came back online. In working with dream host support I learned this I'm the WP expert! We've heard rumblings of a strange issue in Woo where that setting is forcing http redirects outside of the checkout page, which is causing Woo and core WP to send you back and forth between http and https when the siteurl is set to https. _Since https://www.cheaptubes.com is set for your home AND site urls, there shouldn't need to be a force of SSL. That is, WordPress already knows it's SSL, and therefore you shouldn't need to be forcing it on those pages. _ I then received new crawl from Moz saying I now only have 9 errors, not 600. I am recrawling to verify its fixed but I think it is now. If anyone else ever has this issue, try unchecking the Force SSL button

How do I stop someone from hijacking my site?
ok, thx for that. I will try it. I know the pages that need the 301 from the others. all the bad pages have index2.asp in the names. I have changed my ftp and login passwords good to know the 404 don't count against me

How to make a .dwt in html 5
Thanks Lesley- I've managed to get the 301 done. Now I plan to resubmit my site to the major engines. Sadly, the state of my business now precludes me from hiring someone to do it for me. I am going to wordpress and already have it being installed with my hosting co so I can start on it. I bought the X theme.A few months ago I could've afforded the website to be built for me, now I can't.

Duplicate content penalty
Thx Jane- No I wasn't aware of that. I don't get it because I put canonical tags right under the Head and I used the code below to do it. I will check again but am unsure how to fix it I don't even know how to fix coding on the Http://cheaptubes.com site. It seems like when I add content to the canonical site it updates all of them. Thx for pointing out errors, you are giving me something to fix and improve.
