Thread: What am I doiung wrong?

Website name: ourlamp.com



1. 1 watched the Video Tutorials a few times before I downloaded and opened
BlueVoda Website Builder.

2. I opened an untitled blank page.

3. Right-clicked on the blank page and a box came up showing:
Cut
Copy
Paste
Page Properties…
Page HTML…

4. Clicked on Page Properties and a grid came up.

5. On the grid I filled:
Name: Ourlamp.com
Default font: Arial Size: 10
Page Width: 800 ; Page Height: 600
Character Set ISO-8859-1
Favorites Icon: Blank (I left the space blank).
I ticked the box marked Center in Browser.
I did not tick: Disable Internet Explorer’s image toolbar.

6.When I clicked OK everything disappeared. I didn’t know where the grid went.

7.I opened a new blank page and when I Right-clicked on it the grid returned.

8. My questions: i. Did I skip something

ii. How to get what is on the grid onto the blank page?

iii. Why there is no place on the grid for typing in index.html as recommended? - iv. When I am working on the grid, toolbars are not active.

v. What am I doing wrong?

Your help please.

You missed a WHOLE LOT there, Roystone! Happily, it's easy to figure out. Across the top of the screen are the icons you want to use to build your page, not the box you filled out. I'd recommend you open up a blank page and start with the Text icon--type in some text, highlight it, change the font and so forth. Do that sort of thing with the Image icon and so on. Blue Voda is almost like a drawing program. Try the Shapes icon, make a square or something. Click on it to change colors and things. Takes a bit of figuring out, but it's easy. Click on the Preview icon to see how your page would look on your browser if it were published.

I opened a blank page.
I put on a picture of The Pitch Lake in La Brea.
I gave it a title.
I imported a banner.

Question: How to reduce the banner space?
Question: How to keep script from jumping about when I click on it?
