Re: Linking pages

First thing I believe may be the problem is your url is not functioning. With regards to the second "Temp" URL, I think you have not changed the url location on your home page navigation.

1- Double click on your home page navigation
2- Select the name i.e: "Day Care"
3- Click on Edit
4- Browse for File
5- Type of File: Choose BlueVoda File
6- Choose which file which you want displayed when someone click that link
7- Save your home page
8- Make sure to publish the selected file too

Preferably do the entire work directly on your domain

Re: Linking pages

Hello Raven,
You should spend a couple of hours viewing the tutorials.

It's all I been doing for the last few days ... watching tutorials.
And it really helped to build the pages and to arange the links between them just as explained in the tutorials.
But then I started publishing the pages one after another and since then nothing works as expected or as shown in the tutorials.

Here are just few of my problems:
1. Sometime the IE cant find my home page (or any other of my pages), and other times he finds a load them without any problem.
2. Sometimes the links between my pages work as planed and other times I am forwarded to a blank page.
3. When I publish changes to a page they are not always applied, or the view of some page change (especialy images) without no obvious reason.

And there are few more problems like setting an email account with outlook 2003 after it had been created in the cp (and I saw all the tutorials!!!). The thing is that outlook cannot access to the incoming/outgoing mail servers on the setup.

I am sure all those problems are because I'm new the whole thing and I believe I'll solve them eventually but i find it quite difficult to find solutions since the tutorial don't address most of the problems.

So if you have any advice other then "watch the tutorials" I'll priciate it

Re: Linking pages

I went to your site at http://www.limpopo-nsk.ru/index.html
and I found a day care based site, I take it this is yours? If so When the site loaded what was supposed to be your home page (the address bar shows index) it was actually the "about us" page. I think you have saved your pages under the wrong names. And so it is throwing all your links off. Go back and make sure that all the pages are saved with the correct file names and republish all. Also I noticed that your pages have no titles, right click in a blank area of your page, click page properties and give the page a name. This is different than saving the file. Also save all pages with lower case letters with no spaces.

Re: Linking pages

Hi D'son

Quick question

One of the first tutorials said naming the home page as "index.html" and so I did, but how do I change whats shown in the address bar from index to lets say home or anything else?

Re: Linking pages

I'll try to be more specific.
The tut says to save the home page as index, not index.html
You can change the page title by right clicking on an empty area of the page and title it whatever you want. As described in this tut: http://www.vodahost.com/vodatalk/add...roperties.html
Intermittent working of links has to do with your particular browser.
Your browser is caching an old version of the newly published page. When you go to view a new page and the old one appears hold down your "Ctrl" key and click on the browser "refresh" icon.
I don't use any of the email programs so I can't help there.
I have taken the time to present a primer for newcomers to BV. Possibly there are some tips here that would help

Re: Linking pages

The address bar has to show yoursite.com/index.html because it is the page you are viewing. If you want the tab to say home follow Carbon Terry's steps for naming the page.
