Previewing by other members

[Neale]

Hi Everyone,

Can anyone tell me how I send my "home" page to members for previewing as I believe that the images cannot be sent, they disappear from the page.

Hope someone can help me.

Hi, Neale.

Why don't you simply publish it and just send them the URL? That's what my business partner and I do. If you want to make changes, after consulting with your members, then edit and republish and the first one will be overwritten.

If you aren't ready or don't want to publish publicly - go ahead an publish and do NOT post the url ANYWHERE on line or with a link to it - but to your friend, send the link via email. (As Amanda has stated).

If there are no links for the se's to find, they will be very unlikely to find your site.

If you aren't ready for the se's to find your site - do NOT post a link to your page/pages in this forum - as this is one of the fastest ways to get your site found.

Using BV, I've designed a new home page for my client's web site. I want the client to be able to see (and comment on) this page "live," just as I can in BV preview mode.

I'd be glad to publish this new page to my own site (www.jhwm.net) and give the page URL to my client, but: Both my jhwm.net home page and the NEW page for the client are BV files named "index." I tried changing the new page's file name to "index-retrobash" but when I did, BV would not open it. So I changed it back to "index" and now it opens again.

My gut tells me not to publish the new page to my site when it has the EXACT same file name as a page that's already on my site. So how can I publish it to my site "safely"?

Use
save as
and call it clientsindex
publish and then send your client this link:

https://www.jhwm.net/clientsindex.html

The above name can be changed to whatever you want.............

Re: Previewing by other members

Thanks. Just curious, does it HAVE to be "clientsindex"? Why does that file name work but a file name like "index-retrobash" (which I actually tried) not work? Something about the structure of the file name?

Re: Previewing by other members

As I mentioned in my post, the name can be anything you wish.
but try to keep it to one word or use an underscore like this:
index_retrobash
