Hello George.

Your hyperlinks are not internal. They are URL's and as such will not work until your pages are published. That's why it's a good idea to allow time for testing your site when it's published. Wait until you have completed testing and fine tuning before posting your site details anywhere.

actually, George, could you elaborate? I feel that you may be asking the wrong question, and I have an idea of what you may be trying to find out but am not sure.

Do you mean links to other unpublished BV pages?

I am doing a webpage for a project and am trying not to have to publish it. So i wont to be able to link unpublished pages to other unpublished pages files.

You can make the links, but they won't work until published. You can make a 500 page website with links between all the pages. But, as the links are urls, as stated above, they will only work when published.

There really shouldn't be a problem publishing your pages unless you have already heavily promoted the website. Surfers are not going to find your website by accident. More than likely no one will find it unless they enter the exact URL. It will take more time for the Search Engines to find it than you like! You will need to optimize the site once you have it completely published.

oh, i think i see.

George, you cannot link to other BlueVoda pages and see in preview (the ".bvp" pages). However, this does not mean that you can't link to other html files(pages) saved locally on your computer. To do so simply type in the pathname to the file where you would normally put the URL.
ex.: C:\Documents and Settings\"your profile folder"\etc....blah

there is an easier way to accomplish this, but it involves some organization and creation of some files/folders in proper locations so that all you would have to do would be to publish and you wouldn't have to go back and enter full URL's.
