Published- links not working

Re: Published- links not working

saved file as: aromatherapy essential oils

If this is the way you saved it you have spaces between the words, you cannot do that ... or is it you just typed it that way ....?

Save that page as aromatherapyessentialoils

link it as http://www.colourtherapyspa.com/aromatherapyessentialoils.html

inserted link as: http://www.colourtherapyspa.com/arom...tial_oils.html



linked from aromatherapy page back to index as:

http://www.colourtherapyspa.com/index.html

When you are referring to your main page, which is http://www.colourtherapyspa.com you only use that .. you do not have to use the .html for that page ....

every link from any page that goes to your home or main page should be linked as http://www.colourtherapyspa.com


Do you mean some of the words in this thread are missing or do you mean things that you have copied and pasted are not showing here ... just be sure you copy and paste accurately and they should all show up ...

Re: Published- links not working

I think parts of my posts must be dropping off.

The wording to LONG urls gets truncated on the forum - thus you will see:
http://www.colourtherapyspa.com/arom...tial_oils.html
sometimes.

On the left - under View Cart - that is your navigation menu.

You are going to each page and retyping it - and you are occastionally making mistakes and not lining it up the same. It should look the same on all page. That's consistency and lets the se's find it. That's what I was saying - if you get one right - then make a template - or copy and paste it using the copy and paste icons - onto every other page. That way all the links will be the same and work the same.

Now, you are adding more info under these on other pages, which is fine, but you are, in some cases, covering part of the menu when you've done so:

It's very slight on this page:

http://www.colourtherapyspa.com/colour_therapy_healing.html

and it's a big deal on this page:

http://www.colourtherapyspa.com/colour_energy.html

slight on this page:

http://www.colourtherapyspa.com/chart_index.html

And, yes, make sure you follow Holly's instructions about your home page link - you do not need - nor do you want - to have the /index.html to link to that page.

On the contact us page, you need to make the background squares bigger - as right now the navigation is running off it! That would be stopped if you made/used a template for the navigation - or copy/pasted it with the background for it to each page. (You could still then make changes on the pages you use different colors, etc.)

Re: Published- links not working

OOOOOHHHHH KAY...think I've finally gotten myself out of the dense forest I fell into. Most of the links from home page to corresponding are now working...one (chakra blends) has McAfee messing with it so I'll prob'ly have to call them to see what they're doing...and still having a bit of trouble with "terms" page..BUT I see the golden light at the end of the tunnel, thanks to you! Why couldn't I GET IT??? Duh. Blonde days.

I'll be going back in over the weekend to change individual pages and make sure all those links work, too...

Do wonder why (Beth) my text/images are running out of boxes and displacing...I didn't add a thing to "contact us" page...this is what I mentioned in a different thread when I said this was happening and I'd been told was because I was using a laptop vs. desktop. Could anyone (if time) guide me what to do (e.g. move box up/down 1/2 inch, to side, whatever...because on MY computer it all looks proper. Then when more things come up I can deal with them one at a time.

AND I don't know quite when/how yetbut I WILL pay you back for all this help!

For starters (regardless of above comment,) would you both email me your addresses, ok? to colourspa********.com (Christmas is the bestest time of year in my life- esp after almost losing it- and I love to share things during this season...little but important things...!)...don't forget, Holly, Beth.

And have a great day today- make some memories!
