Re: Is this site online?

yes.. the page is online, however you want to name your pages without spaces. Those % signs show up to resolve the space.

reduce the images ok... I have a song playing I think that is the slow down thanks. I have "ADD" pathways are a problem, just trying thanks.

another thing if I add to the page do I need to delete it from the cpanel before uploading? I have lots of stupid questions sorry. I've watched the vids a few times thanks

I went & deleted the % & such now I cannot get the page to open?

Re: Is this site online?

Now that you saved the pages without spaces and symbols, you have re-published the pages, right?

Don't forget to make changes to your navigation systems on every page also....

Depending on your confidence level, there are a few ways to go about cleaning this up, but I think I will stick to the simplest way of presenting the "logic" and the solution at the same time, so to create something of a foundational habit for you to use next time to apply to another issue that may pop up:

1) Be sure ALL of your pages are simply being saved and published using only the page titles (all in lower case, without spaces or symbols, and without any added extensions whatsover), in the proper sequence --- for example, the FIRST page of your website always needs to be saved and published as index ....nothing more, nothing less: when you see it as a link in your navigation which you can label as "home" or when you wish to return to your Main page via a text link, etc., it is seen as www.djsmin.com/index.html

2) To clean up any other instances of messed up titled pages or how they appear, you will need to get into your account and delete duplicated pages or overlapping navigation that is steering to pages that have not been re-named or re-published properly. Your need to FIRST make sure you have all your pages properly corrected titles and saved first, and then you will use Blue Voda FTP to connect to your account (under TOOLS in BV browser) >> and click on public_html/ to view contents of your main directory (in the right side pane) >> click once on each "page" file that you can spot is named incorrectly, and delete them one by one.

3) Open each previously saved page, and re-publish one at a time to "re-populate" your account directory ---- please be sure each page has the complete and "correct" version of your naqvigation system, otherwise it will not find the pages you want it to look for.

Honestly, this "logical loop" should take you easily through a few processes to demonstrate how each area relates as you solve your present issue, and may offer you a broader understanding of how the pieces fit together.

Hello thank you for your time. The url www.djsmin.com/index.html
opens the index page, I tried to install a guestbook & I put it on twice by accident, one is up under the top of the page how do I remove that?

I think the slow loading was because of the "cry out to Jesus" song I had installed on the page its 7 mb thats the slow down, I think I'll edit the song down to 2-3 mb & c if that works better. I appreciate your help,I am a slow learner of pathway things like this. thanks Dale

Thanks for the info on pics I opened them in "paint" & resized em down from 250 + kb to 12-65 kb or there abouts.
I had opened them in the cpanel & saw the size of them was obnoxious thanks, Dale

Here are some observations..

I see some other problem with the images. You have resized them manually, and two things I see are a result of that - First, although they are smaller, they are still kb heavy. Secondly, a couple of them are distorted.
You would be better off to take them into pixresizer or a comparable program at their original size, and resizing them there to the size you want them to be on your site. You can also reduce the kbs in that program.

Also, the page itself is pretty wide, causing the need to side scroll to see it all. In general, in order to be viewed by the most possible viewers on the largest possible selection of screens, you should make your page no wider than 800 - 100 at most.

Your text on your home page is running out of the blue area ihn to where the pictures are and is unreadable, so you might consider shrinking the textbox to avoid that overlap.

There is some kind of pink box behind the first row of pictures that is mostly hidden and unreadable.

And then, of courser you already know there is an issue with your guestbook..

Good luck

Re: Is this site online?

>> At this point, it would be best for you to un-install all instances of your Guestbooks.... that way you can focus on tidying up your site completely once it is free and unencumbered. * To uninstall, simply reverse the process, from the same location.
>> If as you say, your Guestbook is "under" a page item, then your need only click on that "page" (or object, if you used one as a page backdrop) and right-click > SEND TO BACK ... this way it will truly be under everything, exposing your Guestbook to be deleted.

Then, when your site is ready, simply re-install it with much more confidence and purpose!
