SiteSpinner Online User Guide

Please do take a look and let us know if you come across any problems. It will be made available in PDF format for download and printing shortly.

Wow, very impressive! I browsed quickly through most of the pages and didn't see any obvious typos.

One thing I did notice though -- all the screen shots are very fuzzy. As they are gif format, I would expect them to be much sharper.

This may be an artifact of the conversion process you used to get them on-line. Are you planning to keep an on-line version like this as well as the PDF version?

That small reservation aside, great job!

And not before time . Looks ok from what I have seen so far but I would agree that the screen shots are not of very good quality.

However, I do think that a flash tutorial would be a good idea for the basic points for Newbies.

Looks good... I'll have a nice browse through it tomorrow

We'll look into the 'fuzzy screen shots' issue.

Yes, once the final draft is done we'll keep a link to it from our site, and include a link to the printable version for registered users.

nice job! Thanks

Great job guys, another reason why Sitespinner rocks. You never stop supporting the product and providing advise and help.

Thanks again, Dave

Very Good - Very Clear - great Instructions.

Silly question - Is it just for SS and not Webengine?

Annie

Yes, just SiteSpinner at the moment. Though many of the functions in Web Engine are the same, there are quite a few more in Engine that are not covered in the document.

Hi,
Being an absolute Newbie I'm very please to see this Online Help.

Thank you!

The SiteSpinner Online Help has now been updated, you can find it here.

Your online help is greatly appreciated. I was in the process of cutting and pasting from the SSV2 Help files to produce an organized reference guide. This is a FAR better answer! Congratulations on a job well done.

For those who may be interested, SSV2's SVG seems to work fine with Mozilla Firefox 1.5 beta.

I spoke prematurely...SVG does not work correctly in the latest Firefox 1.5 build for Windows.

I have to agree that the online help is very nice! I also was able to get the .pdf version too!

Now if someone would write a book on this maybe in the fashion of the "Dummies" books?

The last statement was just a thought.

dph - we're watching Firefox, thanks.

That would be awesome! Or if he would allow me to pick his brain, I would write it. That man does know how to run this program there is no doubt about it!

I found some typos in the page "Rendering and Re-Rendering". I'm taking the liberty of suggesting some other improvements at the same time

Lines are in pairs, first the current line(s), then the suggested new line(s):

Render and re-render are used somewhat interchangeable here
Render and re-render are used somewhat interchangeably here

But in both cases we can say the object is re-rendered as a new image.
But in both cases we can say the object is re-rendered as a new image. Whenever you re-render an object, you create an image file for that object when you publish your project. This file will then be a required part of your uploaded site.

In the case of the rectangle, it must be re-rendered because an HTML page does not understand the concept of a rectangle.
Simple rectangles with flat shading can be rendered by the finished HTML code, and don't produce an image file. Rectangles with complex shading, say a gradient fill, will be rendered as an image file.

Reason: it appears as 'JPG' in the SS file rendering format settings

To change the re-rendering format for an individual object, use the Object Editor

Great, thanks for pointing them out. They have been added to the Help Bug List file.

The words TOPMOST BOTTOMMOST and BELOWBODY do not appear in the Index -- should they be there?

They do show up in a Search.
