Forum: Web pages design

I've recently been designing a website to show my OPC transcriptions. I think it's now ready for 'publication' and it's been uploaded to a test site but I'd thought I'd better check how it worked with various browsers before going live. I've tested it with IE7, IE8, Firefox, Safari and Chrome...

Hi Friends. Please can any of you provide me with some guidance. Problem : I have created a spreadsheet that I want to place within a page on my web site (address below after my signature) and cannot work out how to do so. I suspect it is easy to do so. Let me explain. Fact : The...

GeoCities current owner Yahoo! is planning on closing down GeoCities soon, perhaps as early as this summer. My genealogy web site is on a Geocities account, so need a good, reliable and reasonably priced replacement. Any recommendations please? They do say that they will transfer my site to...

Can anyone assist? My sister recently asked a Singapurian Web Page Designer to create a site for her charitable wildlife organization in Indonesia. He has registered a domain name and after much 'persuasion' produced a home page. A payment was made in advance in good faith, but the progress has...

Could someone help a thicko who's pulling her hair out of an already thinning head please! ;) I have a page of data that I want to add to a website which will be in two columns. It is simply a list of names, and one would be forgiven for thinking that this is a really easy job, however, I seem...

Has anyone here set up a blog as part of their family history research? It's something I've been wondering about doing, but I thought I'd try to find out a bit more before taking the plunge. Some questions, then: Is a blog helpful, or more trouble than it's worth? (Is it the latest must-have...

I've been quite happily adding photos to my new website, but I have hit on a problem that I can't for the life of me see how to correct. I've played about for hours, but the answer still eludes me! I'd be grateful of a point in the right direction. I use Front Page. Someone kindly sent me some...

I've solved one problem I had and given myself another! Please could someone help me...I was busy making some alterations to a page, and accidentally clicked (I believe) on Ctrl and something else. I know not what! This effectively put code buttons in yellow over everything that I have done...

Owing to the imminent demise of Lycos and their subsidiary Tripod, I have to find a new home for my family history website. With the 'Credit Crunch' still in full swing, I'm a bit worried about hosting with a commercial company, paying them my hard earned money...and they go the same way as Lycos...

I am beginning to wonder how my webpages look on a computer using Windows. The pages look perfect to me, but someone told me a photo was covering up some of the text, and when I went to print one of my pages from the website, the printed copy showed that the fonts were messed up, there was text on...

I would like to make up a dvd that has all the images from the old family photo albums to be passed to other family members. I don't envisage a slide show, but would rather be able to flick to the next image with a press of a button. Some of the oldies don't have computers. Is this easy to...

I have been working for some time to develop a web site which deals with my family genealogy and with the more subjective area of the family and social history attached to my ancestors. My site, like all such sites is under constant development, but I would like advice in particular about how I...

Am I going mad? I'm working on some web pages on my hard disk and I'm using Windows XP. I have an initial page called index.html and it works OK - specifically the links all work. But if I just rename this file to index.htm, none of the links work. This effect doesn't seem to occur with any...

... the worse it gets! Orange ISP are about to change their Webspace and Web site access/design arrangements as from July 28th. The "Sitebuilder" and "FTP My Site" facilities will apparently be replaced by a new Web Site Builder from Magix. Anyone who has constructed non-standard...

I could use some help from someone who has uploaded photos with FP please. I have followed the manual and have seven photos in a Folder called photogallery. I have then proceeded to my FP Gallery page where they will be displayed and added them one by one to the list, and then chose the...

It's me again, and this time I won't be able to answer my own question, as I am completely stymied! :confused: I have just uploaded the index page of my new site, to see what it looks like, and to look for problems, before I load the rest of the linking files. I loaded the index file plus the...

Yes it's me again. :o I'm doing quite well and on the home run for getting my new website online, but I'm a bit stuck on something. I know I'm missing something that is obvious, but can't for the life think what it is. I scanned a map that had been drawn by my brother-in-law of the village I...

I have several stories on my website, and I have been wondering about including a PDF copy which could be downloaded. I am not sure how to go about it. I have googled and the only instructions I can find refer to zip files, presumably to cut down the download time. I am also not sure if I just...

Could someone help me please? I know it's probably a simple question, and I shouldn't be doing this if I don't understand in the first place, but here goes. I am setting up a new website and sailing along quite nicely, but have got stuck with some tables. I don't often use them, but this...

Hi I have tried Tribalpages but they have limited options in which you can personalise your genealogy site. Also I got a Rootsweb freespace account and it was activated but all I can see is a drop down chart and dont know where to go from there. Does anyone know a good website building site...
