Thread: new site - comments, please

i just published 3 pages of my site. i don't have the paypal buttons done, yet, as you can see. that's next on my list. i can take it - tell me what you think. laura laurateague.com

Hi, Ditto with me as well.

Me too

so, i need some help - i did everything properly, i think. how do i best get help w/my site not opening? laurateague.com. thanks for any help. laura

Hi, something strange on this one? I checked that your domain is pointing at VH, & all seems ok. But I can’t get anything at the address you have shown. Even if you had published wrongly, there would still be some folders there to view. It maybe worth popping a support ticket in as well for this one, & explaining that there is no link what so ever. Strange one.
AH! Just tried again & it says you have a redirect set incorrectly? Have you set up a redirect ???? If not then pop a support ticket in.

Good luck.

yes, i set up a redirect from laurateaguejewelry.com to laurateague.com. i'll try to find those directions again & see what i can do. thanks. Laura

i may have made some progress. now when i type in laurateague.com i get the index list. i have read all the other posts about this & i have saved my home page as index (nothing else, no caps). what now? Laura

eureka!!!! my site is now posting as laurateaguejewelry.com which was/is my main domain. however, i purchased another domain (laurateague.com) & now want to only use that one. can someone PLEASE point me in the direction of making laurateaguejewelry redirect to laurateague.com?? thanks~!

Appparently everything is normal now, and Laura is looking to resume collecting reviews for her website: www.LauraTeague.com

Time to jump in, guys!

Nice clean site. Many of your links are not going anywhere and I can't tell if these are pages under construction or faulty links. It always looks better to have a 'page under construction' rather than an error page whole still working on your site. Your item headings could be larger. Have you considered playing with the colors gold, silver, etc. in text. This might define your pages even more. Good start!

thanks - which headings do you think need to be larger? i don't know how to access silver or gold or text - could you point me in that direction? i'll also make some under construction pages = thanks again for all your help. L

You can change text color in one of two ways:
1. Highlight the text you want to change and right click
Under Properties you will see a Color drop down menu that gives you basic choices, silver is there.
or
2. Highlight and mark text you want to change
On your tool bar you'll find an A icon which changes text color.
Go to custom color at the top, then Define Custum Color at the bottom and every color known to man is suddenly available to you!
Important tip: Note down the code in the bottom box of the colors you choose to make repeating them much easier.

I would make the individual item titles a bit bigger but that's just my personal preference.

Good luck, I hope this helps...

thanks - i just didn't see silver as a color option - i'll look again. thank you. Laura
