Thread: Publishing

Hi, I am new, My name is DJ, and I just purchased my domain name www.evansvillereptileshow.com Sunday night. Now I have been trying to publish my first page and it will not connect to ftp server, because it will not accept the password they have given me. ????? HELP........

In addition the IP address given to me of 74.52.137.210 is not on my list to chose from. ??????

Hi rosyboahead: Sorry your having problems. Have you downloaded the newest version of bluevoda with the updated ip addresses: http://www.bluevoda.com/bv.zip
This is the zipped file of it. When I go to publish my pages, I see your ip address mentioned above, so that may be one reason. I would download and install the newest version and see if that works. Let me know

Thank you sooooooo much that did the trick....my next question is now I have published a few pages, I don't seem to be able to view the working sight, I get an Index list when I type my address......?????

Oh, I'm so glad you were able to publish.

Ok, next question, is did you name you home page "index" . Nothing else, no spaces, all small letters. When you save that index page Blue Voda automatically assigns the .bvp extension, so it becomes index.bvp. Then when you publish it, it automatically becomes index.html.

So is your home page saved that way? It should be and then re-publish that page.

Thanks soooo much that worked as well, Now all I need to do is link my pages together, additional pages should be named......www.evansvillereptileshow.com/events ....correct ???

Almost. When you save each new page you would link to it as www.evansvillereptileshow.com/events.html .

Save each new page as events, about_us, etc. BV will add the ".html"

Hey rosyboahead! I see your site...Great Job! Sorry, I had to step away for a little bit, but I see my friend Bill stepped in! Have fun! If you are like me, you'll keep changing your site and adding to it. It will always be a work in progress, but it appears you've got it!!

Thanks soooooo much guys..........

hi there - are you going to add any photos of the reptiles? snakes are great - had a 20' python as a pet for years - on your events page i'd reduce the font size and spacing some - also title your pages -

Hello nice start, had the same problems as you. Your pages are in a too large font in my opinion.

Thanks all, It will take some time but I got the hang of it now. Some more changes on the way......www.evansvillereptileshow.com

Ok guys, i have made a few changes, but the one change that I haven't been able to abcheive is linking my forum button to the phbb. Any advice ???? www.evansvillereptileshow.com

Well, I put a forum on my granddaughters site. I just have text and highlighted that, selected hyperlink in the top menu and typed in the Public url link that was given when I installed the program based on the subdirectory board. So mine is http:www.noaanne.com/board. Didyou send yourself an email after installation with the installation instructions? Might want to look at that. Hope that helps.
