    oh yes ..although the text you have used looks good..I am pretty sure it is not the font that you mentioned...I will check that font ...I must have it on my box somewhere. I'll let you know what I find.

    yesterday when i published the site navigation was very slow and sometimes i would get old pages instead of the new ones. if that happened to you as well then it must have been a problem with yahoo.

    the font i intend to use later is futura, at least for the name of the studio. for now i have used arial for the nav bars and one of the others offered by site builder, either verdana or trebuchet, i think.

    cheers.

      remember when checking your pages after updating, you need to hit refresh or turn off your browser setting for saved pages... most browsers have options for cashe-ing a page so it loads faster the next time you visit.

        Thank you all gentlemen. I have just read this thread from start to finish and found it both informative and riveteting! A must read for anyone contemplating building their own web site. I hope to do so sometime in the future but meanwhile I am learning a lot of very useful stuff. Thank you very much, one and all. 😛

            Hi Modelhead,
            A bit of good news. I will be writing on the subject of dovetailing for the new British magazine, British Woodworking. All the specialist jigs and things that I have developed over the years.

            Because of space issues in the magazine, I will not be able to cover the topic in the detail that I feel would be ideal

            But you know what. Because I have this web page up and running, thanks to you and Coen, the readership will be able to view the step by step process on my web page.

            cheers
            Alan

                    Alan, You should add some nice title of your html page (that is seen on the titlebar of the window). Now it is just "index".

                          i had a look at this and could not discover how to change the color of a single button. when i tried to change the color of one button all the elemnts on my nav bar changed color.

                          cheers.

                            hi bruce,

                            i undertook a fine tuning session of my site, based on the first part of your latest posting. in my case i will use either a nav bar with numbers or the next/previous buttons (i do not see the need for both systems together). so what you will see is the nav bar with numbers. i will try the rest tomorrow.

                            please go to the site (URL below), choose ENG>>PORTFOLIO>>architecture>>SEVILHA92. i have included the 2D dwgs as well.

                            let me know what you think.

                            cheers.

                              Alan, you don't need to write the title in one single word (though it may have been your choice).
                              Also, fill in at least the description field - that's what will be seen in that short description under the website link in a search site like Gaoogle for instance. It should be short, brief but possibly containing all your keywords (the Keywords field is not that important but may be helpful if someone searches for very specific things).

                              Gai...

                                Hi Gaieus,
                                Thanks for the posting. Since Kris mentioned earlier in the thread that we needed to input information about the web page and photos, i have been completing the dialogue box that Bruce recently posted.

                                I notice however that this information does not appear in my Browser window, but my html file reference. Cannot understand that.

                                Questions
                                Keywords. What keywords would you be using to fill in the diallgue box in Bruce's recent posting.

                                I will be off line for most of the day and will have time this evening to deal with this and Bruce's recent lesson.

                                Thanks

                                Alan

                                  Alan, these are metatags thus they aren't really for the visitors at first sight. What's more, generally whatever is in the <head> section, cannot be seen out on the page (the title is a bit exceptional but you need to call your page somehow).

                                  Description would be - as I said - displayed by serch engines: thus they should be short and meaningful. No more than say 200-250 characters.

                                  Keywords can be anything you think are descriptive of your site. Say woodworking, japanese cut, dovetail, pigtail (maybe not that 😄) etc. Divide them with commas. They won't be displayed either (and Google for instance does not even use them for rating) but can help search engines find your site easier. They also count how many times people click on your page-links and from what search words you receive the most clicks.

                                  If you're interested, sign up for Google Sitemaps and you'll have a whole lot of options to find these things out.

                                  Gai...

                                    Picked that up. I will look into all of this soon.
                                    I will sign up to Google sitemaps as suggested.
                                    Thank you

                                          bruce,

                                          now i have 2 projects set up, each one using a kind of navigation. the sevillha project uses the method of assigning a picture to each number. in the casa_RAC project i tested the previous/next way of moving around.

                                          one thing is bothering me: the opening page for the architectural projetcs shows a vertical list of items for one to choose from. i would like them to be aligned at the right but could not find where and how to do it. could you help me with that?

                                          cheers and thank you.
