The Title is what will appear at the top of the browser in the blue bar...not the web address but actually in the bar. And your link isnt working for me.

Well if you want your site to show up.. homepage.html wont get it. Needs to be named 'index' You can TITLE it whatever you want.. but that needs to be the page name or it wont come up when someone types www.Ineedsunshine.com

On the 2 urls posted it a placement foder did you publish your index page if not. When you do your index page in the web builder you should save it as index nothing else added and must be in small letter's. When you are doing your index withlinks tou can name it home but the link is http://yourdomain,com no spaces when doing another page it will be the link as http://www.yourdomain.com/yournewpage.html now the home page will link to the new page to put titles that would be in page properties. Hope this helps

Re: what do l put for title?

hi ok l thought that but l cannot change the file name in the web builder site how do you do that? not sure on the rest of what you are saying,
ok the files saved in the webpage builder all have names on them such as things to do is this correct lhave 12 pages when l go into each page in theURL l have put www.lneedsunshine.com/nameofthatpage/hmtl is that right? on every link l have done that, so l need to change the title of my file saved in the blue voda program from homep page to just index nothing else?

Re: what do l put for title?

ya need to rename your homepage...index...no caps...and publish.

As far as title, then ya have a new "beast"...seo, or search engine optimization.

If what you were selling or showing on your site is widgets...then your page that shows up when you go to yourdomainname.com (index...again no caps...only index), you would title it "Widgets". Hard to be specific without knowing the ins and outs of your pursuits. If you have a diversified list of products, then the steps you take will NEED planning.

It gets confusing to a new person, names vs titles...names are what you save the page as... and titles are what you put in the properties box of that page as...and to get the best bang for your buck, your domain name should match your title, and the content on your page and should have the same "key" words or phrases as the domain name and title. It gets tricky, or logical, depending on your point of view from here.

It's one thing to publish a page, but to publish a page that will get buyers is another. This is where search engine optimization comes into play.

Good Luck! Don't give up...you will get it!

So first page, so you have something to show for your site = name it index, nothing else, then your other pages would be public_html/whatever-you-name-this-page...

.....no spaces, no caps, and if you prefer underscores(_) as opposed to hyphens (-), keep in mind that is easier to type hyphens,

then bv will automatically add the extension ( .html or .php), default is .html and if you want .php, you will need to change it in the page's property box.

If you don't publish and just save, it will save as .bvp, but that is to save it in the builder, not to publish...

DO NOT ADD AN EXTENSION...to publish.

Cheers!

You need to point your domain to your VH account. Contact whoever you purchased your domain from and have them repoint it, giving them the server details as given to you on your 'welcome' email.
