Hyperlinking Text

Re: Hyperlinking Text

I have done everything you have said Bethers and still no joy. Anyway, it should not matter if you have not typed the link in correctly, or even if you have not typed a link in at all, the hand should still appear when you go over the text. I know this when I was first creating hyperlinks, and I used to the navigation bar on the left toolbar, even with no link when I went over it the hand appeared.

Re: Hyperlinking Text

Tygra,
Here's what I'll do - you send me that page - tell me exactly what you want linked and what it is to link to - and I'll look at the page and see if it's done properly.

You can send it as an attachment to beth @ moxie-enter-prises.com (withouth the spaces).

Since your index page is again not published properly - I think you are missing steps on much of the process.

I'm not going to keep guessing what you are or aren't doing - You send me the page that you say has the link on it but isn't displaying it - and i'll look at it.

Re: Hyperlinking Text

Beth, I have sent you the page. I would like the link to be http://www.interspeciesconflictvideos.com/page2.html

Re: Hyperlinking Text

Re: Hyperlinking Text

If http://www.interspeciesconflictvideos.com/ is your root directory then for the index page to show correctly you need to save the index page i.e. the page you want people to see when they go to the domain www.interspeciesconflictvideos.com you need to save it as index.html. this way when the go to http://www.interspeciesconflictvideos.com they will get directed to your main page instead of getting an index of items in you root which is what we get now. See for yourself by clicking here. Once you have done this then i believe the linking procedure should work better for you.

Re: Hyperlinking Text

I've just looked at the source code for your so called index page here and i can tell you now that the text is not linked in anyway so i can only presume you have not done this correctly. the code you have is

<FONT style="font-size:35px;BACKGROUND-COLOR:#FFFFFF" color="#0000FF" face="Arial"><B>For more movies click here</B></FONT>
</DIV>

this has no reference to linking at all so will obviously only show the text you have input. I would go back over what ladyeye and bethers have been telling you or take a look at the excellent tutorials that vodahost provides here which will take you step by step through the linking process. Also i would suggest making your pages narrower as they are too wide at the moment and are forcing people to side scroll to see your content and this turns people away from your site.

Re: Hyperlinking Text

Exactly Mook, it's great you chimed in, to reconfirm everything Bethers and I have been trying to point out to Tygra. Reassurance from further members of this forum, on a particular problem or topic, is what makes Vodaland such a unique, fabulous place, not to mention what makes your "website" go round!

Re: Hyperlinking Text

Glad to be of service Ladyeye. It sounds like Tygra is trying to do things too quickly without looking at and understanding the tutorials. Easily done i suppose......as my father used to say, "back in the days". lol

Re: Hyperlinking Text

Ok Mook, I understand what you ar saying now, save my main page as "index.html" What I dont understand is that the the other links are working, you know where is says "movie 1 "etc.

The annoying thing is I will have to redo my main page all over agan, as when you remane the page it says it might be usuable.

Re: Hyperlinking Text

Well, I also don't know what you're doing if you are actually sending me the page in an email - as I have not received anything from you.

[Tygra]

Re: Hyperlinking Text

In your address do you use the hyphens?, if you do I dont know what's going on then.

[Bethers]

Re: Hyperlinking Text

yes you need the dashes. All you need to do is not have the spaces I put in. You can always navigate to my moxie enterprises link and use the link there to email me if that will work better for you.

All i would do is make a copy of the .html page you have as your index page at present then just rename one of those copies to index.html. yes yo may have to redirect the links to the new index page but isn't it better to have a website that people can use rather than one we can't?
Also if you want traffic to be passed your way by the search engines you will have to rename the index page as index.html as this is what the search engines look for

Re: Hyperlinking Text

Mook - se's could care less if you name the page index or not - that's just for the way the html is set up for publishing.
