I need help linking pages on my website. It is 5 pages and i've read on Sitespinner FAQ's how to do it but it hasn't worked for me. I've used the link editor to link my pages but it didn't work, below you will find my webpage but only the Home page is linked. Can someone help me out..... this is becoming frustrating....what am I doing wrong.

Hi
hmmmm chocolate!!!

I'm not sure what you did, but here's what I'd do.

In the text editor for your menu items, drag over the text of the link words so that they're highlighted and then right click and select Create link.

In the panel that opens, you have a bunch of options and selection boxes.

1. Click on Link type, select Page
2. In the box immediately to its right, clcik the drop down and select the page you want to link to
3. In 'Assign a title' type 'Link: About us' or whatever the page is.
4.Do you want to open the page in a new window? I suspect not, but if you do, check the top left box in the Options list.
5. Leave the Add new urls... option alone, this should be checked.
6. Do you want the link underlining? I would suspect not for your main nav.
7. Assign unique color, check this and click on the colour button - select white and then click OK. - If you don't do this, your links will be in the default hyperlink blue color.


Back in the Link Editor, click OK and you'll return to the text editor.

8. Click the Save and Close button at the bottom of the text editor. You now have a link on your page.

Do this for the other links.

Then

If you have manually created the navigation on each page, delete it on all but the home page.

Back on the home page, drag over your nav menu and right click and select Include on.

This gets you a panel with all the page names and a check box next to each one.
Select the pages you wish your menu to appear on.

(If you do this without deleting all but the home page nav, then you'll get duplicate items which can be messy)

I hope this helps.

One other thing.

You have used the font 'papyrus' for your body text. This is not a websafe font, and as I don't have this loaded on my computer therefore your beautifully crafted text appears to me in Times New Roman - not what you intended!

In the text editor, have a look at your font list, those with WS next to them are 'web safe' that is almost everybody will have them.

A web page is simply a set of instructions on how to present images and text, fonts specifically don't travel with the document, this is also true for MS Word and email, therefore if I don't have a font on my computer that you specify in your document, I will see it in some other font - typically my default font for the browser

Worst case.
If my default browser font is Wingdings, and you specify a font such as Frutiger (which I don't have) then your document will show as a string of symbols!

Thank you for all the information, I will try it tonight and report the outcome. Thanks again!!!!!

Well I tried to link all my pages with the info you provided to me but still have the same problem. When i've finished using the text editor to link my menu items, as you instructed, I then click on the double arrows to preview my webpage. On the preview page when I roll my mouse over the menu items the bottom reads file:///C:...........preview/index.html or about.html or whatever I scroll my mouse over. But once I click on amy link only the "home" link works and everything else doesn't. I've tried everything I can think of to edit my links to try & solve this problem but with no luck. I'm totally frustrated.......... if anyone has any suggestion i'm all ears.....or eyes for that matter.

Can you publish it to a trial site and post a link here?

...and also post the .ims file so that we can debug that too.

Don't worry, we'll have you sorted out in no time at all!

Here is a link to my site..........

What I see is that your 'Home' text is carrying a link, the others are not. As Geek-u-like mentioned it could help if you can post the name of your .ims project. Downloading it and having a look at it might speed things up.

Can you instruct me on how to do this? Sorry if it's obvious to others .... in the meantime "Thank You" both for helping me out, I really appreciate it!!!

When you create your project you usually give it a name when saving. That's the name we need to know. If you then published the project using SS Publisher with the option 'Auto Backup Project File When Publishing' checked (Publish > Publish Project > Pages tab) then your project file should've been uploaded to the server as well.
