changes on web site

asirimarco · #1 06-14-2006, 03:47 AM

i have made severalk changes from good suggestions to my web site www.movingon1.com also more experimenting with different items
hope they all work - they seem to for me

Vasili · #2 06-14-2006, 04:45 AM

Hey....
TREMENDOUS improvements....Whew!
I like the newly formatted Main, and how you've duplicated your header throughout....tight.
Only thing I can suggest: you may wish to re-scan/crop/publish most of your maps...especially Guatemala >Tegucigalpa looks like Tequila! **Try placing a book over the map (on the top side...LOL) when on the platen to keep it firmly against the glass.....darker books work best, and the flap does not have to be down - - just don't look at it while it is scanning!!

A lot of work is here for us to enjoy....and I congratulate you imensely!

bill2006 · #3 06-14-2006, 05:05 PM

Looking good, enjoy reading it. Your pics are good too.

asirimarco · #4 06-14-2006, 09:16 PM

Well I have made more changes - to central america page - too cutsey?

limebrook1 · #5 06-14-2006, 10:04 PM

There seems to be a block over your text which has a scrolling filepath of your document. I think you meant to remove this?

Impressed with your changes. Looks great!

asirimarco · #6 06-14-2006, 10:50 PM

thanks - yes i found it too late -fixed now -
added black borders - too ugly? also music - i am still playing around - finished product is down the road some -

bill2006 · #7 06-15-2006, 04:18 PM

Reading Colombia now, looking forward to rest of trip.
If I may suggest:
-consider making the flags smaller so they are not covering the countries and would take the names off the flags.
-your Home page is centered, not so the others.
-consider titles for your pages

Way to go. When's your next trip ?

This is A truely remarkable family documentry. I am having such a hard time getting background music on my site. could you email me and tell me just how you did it. If you don't have time, thanks for sharing your site.
Circuspet@msn.com

asirimarco · #9 06-15-2006, 09:19 PM

Much thanks for advice - i clicked on center page made sure my text etc didnt exceed 800 but forgot to set page width to 800 - dah - fixed now
also checked on titles for pages - think they are all done now
i still have to figure out email with a form i guess?
never realized how much work went into something like this.
again thanks to everyone - i will continue to plug away.

davidundalicia · #10 06-16-2006, 01:13 AM

have a look at andy128 tutorials on email forms below.

jane bond · #11 06-16-2006, 07:26 AM

I got a "click to activate active X" which I have and then it closed my browser! I've never had this happen before. I cannot reach your site at all.

Vasili · #12 06-16-2006, 10:00 AM

Spooky, Terri!
A browser that recognizes lady secret agents! LOLOL

Yes, there is a lot of work getting a website up, and not only perfecting it (our definition constantly evolves, right?) but simply letting it be....letting go of it for a while to do it's job. That's why we are all getting promoted while we are still in "process"....we're addicted!!!
I swear there must be a Submit Ticket to a Voda-sponsored rehab somewhere! Thank GOD I'm still single for the time being....this would ruin everything!

robobobo · #13 06-16-2006, 12:36 PM

Very Good indeed all the links worked and the pics are great!
Keep it up

asirimarco · #14 06-16-2006, 09:14 PM

i still continue to work on site - adding and adding and centering etc. still have problems with the contact us - will continue to add to narative chili and on to argentina etc. one day at a time

circuspet.com · #15 06-16-2006, 09:21 PM

There is no substatute for hard work.

Vasili · #16 06-16-2006, 09:28 PM

Oh, I can think of a few good ones, but I probably shouldn't list them here!
LOL

And Marco! It's great to see how much progress you've made on your site recently.....your excitement shows, and it is looking pretty sweet!
I might suggest that you continue in the same thread rather than begin a new one every couple of days, tho! **Every time you post a response or someone leaves a comment (indicating activity), the thread pops to the top, so it's not necessary to start a new one to get position....

bill2006 · #17 06-16-2006, 09:54 PM

Great work,
I get the ActiveX request, at least everytime you update your web. Not a big issue. Its a Microsoft issue.

asirimarco · #18 06-17-2006, 04:30 PM

don't know what the active x thing is - i dont get it on my computer but my husband does on his - he clicks it and it just goes away
could some body please try my contact us form - sometimes it works for me xometimes it doesnt - because i'm trying it on my own computer?
also i found info once but cant find it again - how do i get my keywords into search engines? do i have to pay for it?
many many thanks to all of you for your patience and advice -i hope this stays in the same thread - think i finally figured that out!

circuspet.com · #19 06-17-2006, 05:07 PM

If any one needs to test their sanity, listen to the mustc on my site, then imagin listening to it for 12 hrs editing an loading. " I did it, I shot President Linclon, take me away, just take me away".http://www.circuspet.com

davidundalicia · #20 06-17-2006, 05:13 PM

Cant seem to reach your website at the moment.....
Have you put your keywords( 3 or 4 relevant per page) in all of your pages
because you dont have to pay as the S.E´s will find them when they visit your site.
Will try your form again later.......

ps: it would be usefull if you published your address(url) again as this is quite a long thread now......

its: http://www.movingon1.com/

asirimarco · #21 06-17-2006, 05:13 PM

well i did it again when i posted last "changes to web" about keywords etc. i forgot to identify myself the site is www.movingon1.com
also just wanted to add - there are some truely fantastic sites being put together by others - makes me want to do more

bill2006 · #22 06-17-2006, 05:25 PM

Hi, your site is off-line at the moment. Save and republish.

When you are ready, VH will submit your site to search engines -once for free- submit a support ticket to request it.

Good luck

davidundalicia · #23 06-17-2006, 06:01 PM

Your site is back on line now and your contact page is working fine.
(you may want to check/test your fields as they can be sent Blank)

The pic of the bridge is a little distorted but that may be intentional ??

Any room for this hitch hiker ???????????????

asirimarco · #24 06-17-2006, 06:42 PM

that really was a fright when the site went down - thought it was all gone for good - made go to pixresize tho and resize all pics in folder - now i have to replace them all in web page right?
also thanx to those who responded about contact page - it is working, actually working will check out picture of bridge pictures are scans from old 1978 slides - some almost beyond repair
have another question about error12002 and instructions to make changes in regedit - where do i put new DWORD? in the default line? i would hate to make a fatal mistake

davidundalicia · #25 06-17-2006, 06:50 PM

Unless you know exactly what you are doing....DON´T muck about with
your register...its the key to your whole computer.

If you or anyone else attemps to change or even add anything..backup your register FIRST.

circuspet.com · #26 06-17-2006, 08:18 PM

Ah yes. backup my favorite super hero.

royb · #27 06-18-2006, 08:19 AM

It all seems to be working ok now. The site is informative and interesting. I am not too keen on the black background but that is just a matter of personal taste.

asirimarco · #28 06-18-2006, 06:52 PM

i'm not sure about the black either - but dont like white and not into lots of color -
we will be making the trip again starting this fall and i would like to do daily posting of the travel - should i set up another site - start a blog and reference it or just put in a button to new pages? not sure how much i can put on one site
www.movingon1.com

circuspet.com · #29 06-18-2006, 07:15 PM

There are some cool backgrounds in the IMAGE LIBRARY (not too loud ) or by going to view> background> color> custom color you can make a color that complements the other colors on the page. Your site looks so good to be you might not want to over work it.

asirimarco · #30 06-20-2006, 08:23 PM

the pest is back again - i have been making drastic changes on my site - i still have not completed from Brazil on -
i know some of the pages are bold - but i was using flag colors
think i am finally complete up to here
www.movingon1.com

circuspet.com · #31 06-20-2006, 08:39 PM

Can't wait to see the finished product. I will keep myself subscribed to this thread to see your progress. Are you sure your not a producer or director or something?

bill2006 · #32 06-20-2006, 11:18 PM

Has got to be the best story here.
I've been through a lot of the same places so enjoying your website enormously.

Way to go !

circuspet.com · #33 06-21-2006, 12:46 AM

Six years ago I tried to get our sister city program to switch sister citys to San Blas. I hope it's today as uncomercial as it was. Like pre seventies
kawii.

asirimarco · #34 06-21-2006, 08:42 PM

continuing to work - complete through brazil - any comments on the background colors - following the flags of the countries - i have a question about rules for linking other sites - i.e. when i talk about "LaBoca" i inserted a web link - is this okay? also can i submit for search engine if the site is not completely complete? still need to add 2 countries
do i need a banner ?

bill2006 · #35 06-22-2006, 05:44 AM

Hi, got laugh at the cat in the olive barrel. - text is overlapped, must have been the cat !
The link on 'La Boca' helps. It really is a nice place.

asirimarco · #36 06-23-2006, 04:35 AM

I am finally finished added the end of the story, went through and i think i found all the links that didnt work and fixed them, requested key words be sent to search engines
is there anything else i should do? now i want to do another one - it was fun and all of you are wonderful with the suggestions, advice and help
thanks again

bill2006 · #37 06-23-2006, 06:09 PM

Have you considered adding a guest book?

circuspet.com · #38 06-23-2006, 09:01 PM

The concept of the guest book was a great one, however, as I have found out the hard way, some --sterds use them to compile mailing list
which makes me afraid to use them.

circuspet.com · #39 06-23-2006, 09:09 PM

Asirimarco:

I think you and bill have the best looking sites that are out. Everyone could learn alot by visiting either. I'm still working on monsters I created by not doing things correctly when I started. A stich in time..........

asirimarco · #40 06-23-2006, 10:03 PM

i did consider a guest book, but after reading about the problems with one - spam, unwanted links etc. i figured leave well enough alone - have contact page
you're sure right about doing things correctly - could have saved a lot of time and hair pulling - i found an interesting thread about putting more than one image in a marquee - might try it - but i should leave things alone - now i want to do another one -

Vasili · #41 06-24-2006, 03:53 AM

Good for you!

I personally favor inviting comments (and pictures, testamonials, etc.) to be emailed, and then manually posting them in a special section to be seen by those interested.

I simply don't have the time to play cop (enforcing order) or janitor (cleaning up grafitti) on my websites that were never intended to be an online "watering hole."
