Re: Linking assistance

1) Dont panic....
2) Create your other pages. Have you done this?
3) Link them together as instructed in the tutorials.

Re: Linking assistance

Your poems you could publish like your index page straight to your public_html folder.

add dolls
fashion
art
and photo pages just the same also.

Hi there, let me see if I can help you understand the linking process.

Just in the same way that you have made a page and named it index, saved it as index and published it as index, you need to do this in the same fashion for all of your other pages.

All other pages than the index page can have the unique name that you give them, keeping in mind the names need to be all small letters, no capitals or symbols, and no spaces unless the words in the name are joined together by the use of the _ underscore key.

So for instance if you have a page named, saved and published as dolls,
you would then apply the link to this page as http://www.nameofyourdomain.com/dolls.html

The use of the .html needs to be applied to all links that you are creating, other than the index page, to show the link address.

You should have all links to all of your pages on everyone of your pages.
In other words, if your site contains 5 pages, all 5 links should appear on all 5 pages.

You can link your pages together using the navigation bar, or the menu bar or simply text links. All tools available in your blue voda web builder.

If you use the navigation bar menu, you choose a button style and double click on it and type the address for each page as shown above. You can also add a name that you choose, on the button of the page you are applying the link to. If you use text links, you highlight the word you are linking to, go to tools, insert link, and a pop up box will appear where you type the address of the page as shown in these examples.

Your buttons could look like this and the links you would need to provide.

BUTTON and then the LINK ADDRESS

Home - http://www.nameofyourdomain.com

About Me - http://www.nameofyourdomain.com/aboutme.html

Today - http://www.nameofyourdomain.com/today.html

Tomorrow - http://www.nameofyourdomain.com/tomorrow.html


Yesterday - http://www.nameofyourdomain.com/yesterday.html


Hope this helps you understand the linking process.

The above is the linking code that has been applied to your website. There are alot of errors ....


You are not naming, saving and publishing your pages correctly ....


You name, save and publish all of your pages to public_html directory only and you apply the linking in the above fashion in my other post ..


So between naming pages and applying the links you have many errors.


For instance:

Name a page sacha, save it as sacha, publish it to public_html directory

retrieve and link the page as http://www.dollyscreams.com/sacha.html

If you are going to have these pages in another folder called dolls as you are linking them to ... then you would need to publish them to public_html/dolls
then the link would be http://www.dollyscreams.com/dolls/sacha.html

Either or, but you must decide. See what I mean??

Re: Linking assistance

when you say naming your page what do you mean?
and when saving is there anything needed after the name

Re: Linking assistance

when you say naming your page what do you mean?
and when saving is there anything needed after the name

That is where you are having the problem.

When I say naming the page, I refer to what the name of the page is that you are going to publish, the name that you also save your page as. (Just as you did with the index page)

Say if your page is named sacha

Save it as sacha

publish it as sacha to public_html directory (this is naturally filled in your publishing box, if you take a look when you hit publish in your blue voda webbuilder, (where you publish your pages right))

There is nothing needed after this name when you are publishing. Only when you apply the linking do you add .html

You then link to this page as http://www.dollyscreams.com/sacha.html


The whole process can seem a bit confusing at first, but once you get the hang of it and understand how the directories and linking works, you will find it a breeze. Think of it in terms of a "Filing System" ... I am going to put my page sacha in the public_html folder, so now that is where I will find it. You see the public_html directory (or simply called a folder) is the folder that contains all your pages to your website (unless you do things differently, which is not necessary in your case)

Re: Linking assistance

im an currently trying to publlish the page jaymee.
i have saved it only as jaymee
im pretty sure ive named it jaymee and ive tried publishing it and yet it still wont work?

Re: Linking assistance

Hi me again. ... just wanted to remind you not to forget, that you will need to save and republish these pages correctly again okay ...

Once you have the correct menu in place with all your pages and their links, you could then copy and paste that menu on everyone of your pages to make things easier for you ....

Use the copy and paste icon at the top of your blue voda web builder, instead of right clicking, this should place the menu, once fixed on all of your pages ... will make it easier and less time consuming for you ....
