Did you physically center your entire content in the window? If so, select all your text and move them back to the very left

I would have left the plan page the way it was (opening in the same window) but each link within the page have open in a new window. If you do it the way you have now the user can navigate your site from two active windows and pretty soon have so many open they are going to confused, agrivated or just exit all of them.

I agree with Ed. Pages within your site should have their target field let blank, as in empty.

Ok I fixed the plan page now.

The plans page is still opening in a new window. It seems the target is on _blank. Check all the navigation on all your pages. Or, fix the nav on one page, copy, and then go to your other pages and Edit Paste to paste to the exact spot on the current page as it was on the page pasting from. Saves you a bit of time.

save........and there you go.

Your web conference is still opening up in the same window. That should be opening in a _blank window.

Go here. You want your content to the left as in this pic. Edit, Select All, Unlock All. Move your entire content to the very left. The status bar should read x:0 , y:0. Try one page, print preview and see if there's a difference.

Re: Opinions, opinions, opinions

arrrrgh rofl....wow ok that part is done at least. Ok i'll try doing what you say about page position. Is it really that off? when I started creating them, I had them all flush to the left.

Re: Opinions, opinions, opinions

I have to scroll to the right on a 17 inch monitor. Is it really that off? lol

Re: Opinions, opinions, opinions

lol uh yeah

[HalaalPages]

Re: Opinions, opinions, opinions

yes, it's really off. lol You never want to have the viewer scroll horizontally. We are getting to be very lazy these days and I for one am not patient with such sites that require scrolling. It's one thing not having the site centered, but you risk losing viewers with scrolling (to the right).

Brian .....

Remember to ALWAYS begin your page builds with the furthestmost element "locked-left" to the top-left corner of the BV workpane (the 0:0 axis point). You can make your pages as wide as you want, but everything in the world of webbing relates to the top-left positioning (even when using an HTML box with a script in it, the script will run whatever it is coded, but will "position" itself from the top-left corner of the 'box').

So, if you move everything back to the 0:0 position, (no matter how wide you make it and then "define" the width via PROPERTIES), when you go to Center in Browser it will not be unbalanced.
That would be the first thing I would suggest to make a dramatic improvement before you tweak the small stuff.

Then, step back from the monitor a bit (seriously) and let your eye rove freely over the overall display ..... what catches you eye first? Did you pick the unbalanced elements and uneven flow?
Thus, my second suggestion: to repair and establish a proper flow and balance to your layout. First thing would be to NEVER place text over 2 separate elements like you have! Splitting text over two totally contrasting elements (a blank space and a bright image) is simply HUGE, and it amazes me you let it stand so long as you have.....

I think you can pick up the rest.
Just think 1. Precision; 2. Balance; 3. Natural Flow; 4. Emphasis (as in text or Content -- stimulate cognitive recognition and value-making naturally, which is a preferred foundation for interaction you may have an opportunity to characterize later...).

Great choices for colors and images to work with! Looking forward to your refinements.

Re: Opinions, opinions, opinions

Thanks Gen I'll work on that. Now as for when I created the pages, they were all flush left.
