You don't need to save your changes. Website Tonight saves your work every time you make a change. You can make backups in Website Tonight though, and I do recommend it. :)

Like Kirkland said, be careful about redirecting within your own site in terms of SEO. Google will drop your Pagerank severely for doing so. Thanks for the advice, Kirkland.

I’ve had to deal with this issue as well. It’s a serious shortcoming for Website Tonight and one they should put all their effort into resolving. That being said, another approach, for Google anyhow, is to “demote” a page in Google Webmaster tools.
Let me quote: “Sitelinks are automatically generated links that may appear under your site’s search results. If you don’t want a page to appear as a sitelink, you can demote it. Only site owners and users with full permissions can demote sitelinks.”
Fairly simple.
Webmaster Tools> site configuration> sitelinks> demote this sitelink URL….
and then just enter the full URL of the page that is either showing up as a crawl error or that your want Google to ignore as a sitelink.
The downside of this is that if the page in question has some ranking juice you want transferred to a newer page by virtue of a 301 redirect you lose out on that juice. The upside is if you happened to change your home page from a .html to a .php it can move you in the right direction.

-Cheers.

It depends on how you upload the photo, but most likely the full URL will look like this…

http://YOUR_DOMAIN.COM/images/FILE_NAME.JPG

If you added the photo as an upload instead of through the Image Library then the URL will look like this…

http://YOUR_DOMAIN.COM/uploads/FILE_NAME.JPG

If you still can’t find it then add it to a content block, then just right-click on it and select the option “Copy Image URL” or “Copy Image Path” (verbiage may vary), then paste it somewhere – like a new browser window, Word, or notepad. That will get you the exact path, but be careful with this method. If you view your site in Preview Mode the URL will be the Preview Mode URL to the image and not always work when you publish the site.

Before I can give you any definitive answer I would need to know how you are inserting them in a content block. Can you reply with the step-by-step instructions you are taking to insert them?

Thanks

This sounds like a genuine error, in either Website Tonight or your code.

I can tell you that if you make a mistake in your CSS then none of the CSS after that error will work. To check to see if you are making a mistake move that line in your code to the very bottom of the Advanced CSS box. That way, all your other CSS modifications will be executed before it attempts that line of code. If that fixes the problem then we know its an error in your code, so go back over it with a fine toothed comb.

If its an error in Website Tonight then it will most likely be temporary (aka: a “known issue”). If it doesn’t resolve itself in a couple days then call and report it to your Website Tonight provider. You may be the first person to bring it to their attention.

Good Luck

If your mobile site is automatically generated by a third party then their technology probably doesn’t know how to handle a Website Tonight contact form. I recommend talking to your Website Tonight provider about building a mobile site.

Good Luck

You’re welcome Pam!

Now you can do me a favor… Show a little love and click one of the ad banners on the right side of the screen. It wont generate spam. It just tells the advertiser that I recommended them, so IF you make a purchase in the next month or so I will get a little kick-back. :)

Comment on Creating Download Links in Website Tonight by Kirkland

You can call your Website Tonight provider and ask if they now accept .m4r files, but if they don’t then sadly you’re out of luck. If they do then let me know so that I can update my list of accepted file types in Website Tonight.

Alternatively you can create a link to the file hosted somewhere else online. If doesn’t need to be uploaded to your Website Tonight account for you to create a download link to it.

Good Luck,
Kirkland
