Hi, I could only find this page. http://patbosman.com/About%20us.html
1st thing you will need to do is name your home page as just index in lower case letters & no extensions & publish. Then you will have some ware to start from. So when some one enters http://www.patbosman.com they will land at your home page.
Ah! i just seen you have soho & BV in the same directory & this wont help matters.

Good luck.

Re: My first web site please help

Could you be a bit more specific as I am a little confused. Do you mean that I must not put the extensions on at all.

Hi Pat,
By the look of things you need to rename your 'home' page as 'index' and replublish it.

• Give this page a true 'title' (right click>page properties) it is presently called 'home'.
• The nav buttons you've chosen are better suited to a white site.
• The size and positioning of your guest book is receiving to much emphasis. (consider giving it a seperate page and nav bar link)
• Try centre align your pages (right click>page properties)
• Your linked pages aren't up yet, but when they are remember to set the link target to 'self' as they are presently 'blank' (open in a new page)
• You have keywords in place, but keep in mind that these should ideally be words people will type while searching for your site.

Cheers,

Re: My first web site please help

Hi, Correct! No extension has to be added. With BV it will save your page as a bvp file & when you press publish, it will automatically change this file to one with an html extension for server usage.

Hi Pat,

You need to rename your new "Index" page as index (no caps) and republish.

Re: My first web site please help

The page that you want to be called patbosman.com needs to be saved and published as index. This is the servers way of knowing what your main page is.

I hope that helps.

Re: My first web site please help

Hi Pat,

And away we go...now the fun starts as you tweak and grow your site. You can consider adopting the comments and suggestions made by bluevodians above and I'm sure more will follow.

Enjoy.

Re: My first web site please help

Firstly thank you for your advice and help so far really appreciated. There are a couple of things I need to know (1) are my other pages linked? (2) on my order page I need to know what to do to? I want the person loging onto this page to order the e-course and once paid they are able to download the material which I need to format to a pdf file from my doucuments in MSword I really don't know what to do.

Re: My first web site please help

Hi Pat,

Regarding "other page links" the links are incorrectly named and dead. eg "www.patbosman.com/e-course" should be "www.patbosman.com/e-course.html" or .php depending on which file extension (page properties) you published to. I'd think you published as .html so this needs to be added to your link URL. More Info about verify links tool.
