Publishing

[diamondc]

I cannot publish my site - even temporarily. I am transferring a domain over from another hosting service but have to wait 60 days from the date of creation for the domain name to be transferred over. In the mean time i would like to see how my site works with links and stuff. How can i do this? I was advised to go to my previous hosting site and ask them to point the Nameserver to another temporary server but i cannot get through to them either via email or phone - is there anything that i can do in the meantime?

Thanks

Re: Publishing

Your links will only work after publishing. You should be able to go into your account at the other host and point the domain name to the DNS yourself.
Have you purchased hosting for the site (not domain name) from VodaHost yet?

Re: Publishing

Yes i have purchased hosting from VodaHost -

I cant seem to be able to point the domain to the DNS - i am using webstarts to do this -

Re: Publishing

Nothing can happen until you point the domain name to the VodaHost servers.
This may be a service that VodaHost offers (for $$).
Why not post a support request?

Re: Publishing

Save and publish your first page as index all lower case letters. You've used a CAPITAL 'I'. This won't work.

Re: Publishing

Page names ( eg. index ) must be in all lowercase. SE's will not index an uppercase page name.

Re: Publishing

Here's how you have your page(s) linked (see red text):
a href="./forum.html"><img src="images/forum.jpeg" id="Image7" alt="" align="top"
instead of:
a href="http://www.lawholechild.com/forum.html"><img src="images/forum.jpeg" id="Image7" alt="" align="top"
What software are you using for the javascript menu?
