Link Not Working

[bubbee21]

Hi there,

would someone please take a look at my working page www.bubbeesbeads.org/links.html where you will see two wide thin html strips as the last two items on the page. On the preview page,, you will see two links at the bottom, one for BOHO and the other for THE LINK EXCHANGE. Butttttttttttt, they are in a different font. When I open my website with a browser, those last two links don't show up.

Any suggestions?

Thx, Mindy

Re: Link Not Working

unless you send me the code you've put in - I don't see it.

However, you are not putting any of the links in correctly - as none of them work. We shouldn't be able to see the www.domainname.com - that should be being used at the link information on the anchor text you put in front of it.

The top few you made as links - but you made the entire sentence links when you only want the "title" anchor text to be the link.

Hi Beth........
I'm sorry but alot of your answer might as well be chinese. I just don't understand. But what I do, I'll answer.

Here is what I put in the HTML box.
<a href="http://www.bohofashionjewellery.co.uk" target="_blank">Boho Fashion Jewellery - The Spirit of Freedom</a><br>An eclectic mix of up-to-the minute fashion, costume & bridal jewellery including handmade designer originals, ladies, mens & childrens jewellery, handbags and fashion accessories.

These are the last two listings.

This is the part that confuses me
"that should be being used at the link information on the anchor text you put in front of it."
I don't know what I did wrong with the lower ones on my list. Perhaps yu can show me or tell me how it should be done and I'll do them all over again.

Thanks luv, Mindy

Hi Beth,

I don't understand this part of your answer at all, "that should be being used at the link information on the anchor text you put in front of it."
:( would you be kind enuf to explain.

This is what I have inside the html boxes at the bottom of my work page...and that show up in Preview but not online.

<a href="http://www.bohofashionjewellery.co.uk" target="_blank">Boho Fashion Jewellery - The Spirit of Freedom</a><br>An eclectic mix of up-to-the minute fashion, costume & bridal jewellery including handmade designer originals, ladies, mens & childrens jewellery, handbags and fashion accessories.

I had no idea that something was wrong with the lower listings on link page....how do I fix it? This whole procedure is exhausting me.... the old noggin can't hold as much as it used to. lol.......

Thanks, Mindy

Re: Link Not Working

How about making it easier on yourself - and you won't have to use the html box at all -
Put the following on the page:

Boho Fashion Jewellery - The Spirit of Freedom
An eclectic mix of up-to-the minute fashion, costume & bridal jewellery including handmade designer originals, ladies, mens & childrens jewellery, handbags and fashion accessories. Unleash your bohemian side

Then highlight the "Boho Fashion Jewellery - The Spirit of Freedom"
go click on the green navigation link icon in the BV builder (it's the 3rd from the right on the top row of icons) - then put the url (http://www.bohofashionjewellery.co.uk) into the spot for the address and change it to blank for target.

This will allow you to type using the normal text box.

OK, the ones that I was saying above - the top 6 links work - but you have whole lines and two lines for the link - you want them to look like what I just did. The rest of the page, you have lots of places listed, but none of them are links.

As for the 2 you say you put in an html box - did you size the box so it will take up the necessary space on the page? And did you save the page and publish it with them. I really think it would be easier for you to follow the method I just showed you - and you'll be able to see the page - since you aren't real familiar with html - you'll be able to get the same result using the handy tools BV provides.

Re: Link Not Working

Hi Beth, I tried what you said about taking the alternate route to links, however, it still comes up with the html when I bring it up on my browser.
I highlight the name of the sight then cut the html and paste it in the links window and bring up -blank in the target space; but its still not working.

Following, I am pasting what my workpage shows
