Would someone mind having a look at my web site please and see what I need to correct, to me my pages look to big and I am not sure how to add the link for my e mail address, when it says add url in the link box what should I put? Sorry to sound so dumb but I have never done this before.
Many thanks

hi very nice looking cake to good to eat.
one or two things : your email text high light the text click link button under link type make it mailto, then in url type your email address no http:/ that should do it.
have you used a inline frame for the light pink area on home page as it is acting as one big link.

oh forgot your link here wrong you missed the : should have been http://www.cakeswithadifference.net

Thank you so much for your advice. I will keep working on it.Do you know how to change the large pink area, so it's not a link? Do I change these things, save the pages and publish again?How can I change the size of my pages as they seem to big for the browser, unless it is inlarged?
I had a look at your web site, it's very well done and interesting too

Thanks again
Alison

Hi Alison,
Congratulations - you've made a lovely website. The pink thing - right click on it (in BlueVoda) goto properties and just make sure that where it says link is left empty. Your cake toppers are unbelievable! You are an artist indeed! Let me know if, when you are up and running, you'd like to swap links - our businesses compliment each other. Well done!

Ps. Yes - when you make changes in BlueVoda, save them and re-puiblish the changed pages. When that's done and you go online to check them - remember that your browser may cache (causing your browser to show you old images), so hit the F5 key a few times to clear it and try iy again. Oh and your pages (size) seem just fine to me.

An instance of ViPER Guestbook was installed on http://cakeswithadifference.net
Full installation path: /home/cakes99/public_html
Public URL: http://cakeswithadifference.net/
Admin URL: http://cakeswithadifference.net/admin.php
Username:
Password: t6y7gh
MySQL database: cakes99_vgb1

DO NOT REMOVE the file named fantastico_fileslist.txt from the installation directory. It is used for uninstalling this application.
This was the e mail sent, I am sorry to be thick but how do I put it so I can see it on my web page?
Thanks, sorry to be a pain!

better you uninstall and re install again because now you install in your main directory,that will make you confuse because you already have website in there, make sure when you install don't leave the directory field empty unless you want to install on it. put the name of the directory whatever you want i.e if you named guestbook the address will be www.cakeswithadifference.net/guestbook
and make sure you don't show your password to the public like you are doing now.

Hope ***** won't fire me because this topic is in wrong place

It is not easy this web site lark is it but I am enjoying the journey.
I am now having a problem setting up the emails . My mind is so full of stuff that I am getting so confused.

hi again you do not have to use viper guestbook if your having trouble i had trouble with it.
search the net under free guestbook script try and find one that that you can change to look like your site ie: colour text picture thats what i did and came up with guestbook on my info page.
the index question you asked : click veiw click page properties . under title pint the page name as you want to appear. save publish. job done.
sorry back again just been to your site big pink link now goes to a guestbook nice but i do not think you wanted that to happen.

Hi Alien Dude, thanks for coming back to my site. I am having problems with my e mail set up can you advise me please?
The pink area is still not right but im not sure how to correct it. I have removed the guest book, it was just causing me more problems and I must get my e mail sorted first. I just wanted to be able to click on the e mail address (link) and an e mail to pop up on the screen for customers to send to me.
Thank you for your help I really appreciate it.
Alison
