Re: please help newbie damsell in distress

You make a new folder in bv for the second addon site..and save the MAIN page again as index in the new folder and publish. All of your pages for the second site go in this folder.

on the first subject.. when you build a page in bv.. move every thing to the left ..and position it where you want .. notice the bars on the side and top.. this reflects your width and length. dont try to center in this space.. just line it up as I said. Then right click on a blank spot and choose page properties and center your page there. It looks like youve tried to center on the bv screen.. dont do that..

Also your header is wayyyyyyyyyyy to wide

Re: please help newbie damsell in distress

does it take a while to updat once you save n publish as ive moved everything to left n its still the same

Re: please help newbie damsell in distress

You are saving with purplecraft.bvp

DONT add an extension.. just index

on your hard drive it will be a bvp extension but when you publish it will convert to html

Do you have a VODA HOST acount? This will only work on voda host.

Re: help before i throw pc out window

is your old page on the server? should be no problem, you have the first index page on your hard drive, just save it as index and republish it, this should over write the work you did to get the purple page.
if this does not work let us know and we can help you get the old page back to your hardrive.
