Hi Kris,
Thanks for the advice. Copied your post. I'll wait for something from Bruce on this topic. I was reading last night a photoshop manual about uploading images to the web. I will be dealing with that in detail over the next few days.

Modelehead,
I tend to make detailed notes after a project, makes life easier down the line when I might need a recap. Adding a batch of similar sized pages using a template and double clicking, just speeds thing along nicely.
cheers
Alan.

Hi Modelhead,
Great stuff.

Just to keep you up to speed my end of the line. I am in no rush at all to progress this web page building.

I have masses of work to do on other projects so dont feel obliged to burn the midnight oil with me.

I can work away in the background on my modelling, cabinet making, drafting articles for British Woodworking, and the millions of other interesting jobs and skill building exercises I want to get on with.

When you do have a minute to give the next lesson, I will pick it up and progess with that.

After the latest lesson I will be able to improve what is already published to my web site.

Enjoy work

speak soon

Cheers
Alan.

My notes on the latest lesson that may be of use to someone else learning sitebuilder.

Hi Modelhead,
I've updated my latest lesson to include 10 images.
The reason why I have problems recently was because I had changed my folder name from complexnavigation to compnav.
and I sending the wrong link.

When do you start with with your new employer.

cheers
Alan

Hi Guys,
Repeated the last lesson is a format that could be handy for me one day.
It can be found here

bit of a glitch there. I tried to upload this via the publish button but that didn't work. Went to the yahoo site and uploaded files that way. I'll try again.
still locking up when I am trying to publish through sitebuilder.
Back to the drawing board.

1848hrs. I'll work on that one again

Sorted.

Hi Bruce,
Well is that not greatnews. As Edson commented, you do get paid back in life for the good that is done, and I'm so happy that you are excited at what you can achieve in your new post.

A quote I liked to use at work was 'Aiming to deliver a quality of service second to none', something that I was aiming for each day.

Without doubt, that is what you have delivered here, and your new employers and have bagged a 'good un'

cheers

Alan.
PS. Glad the owner of the company liked my stuff. What is out there at present is just a draft of some of the chapters. It will get better.

Hi Guys,
Now that I have this facility, I will be able to upgrade my web site so that it is much more user friendly, much better than scrolling down and sideways.
cheers
Alan.

Hi Edson,
Thanks for that. I think we are both heading alone the right path.
Not sure yet if the previous, next buttons will be used that much, but I thought I would do the exercise, just to understand how it was done.

A quicker way, I think, of adding a background colour, rather than adding a coloured text box behind the numbers, is to add an active image, under customise the navigation bars. Problem is, when I was doing the exercise I could not find a colour on my computer do download.

So I'm going to have a look for one now.

cheers
Alan

Found it under clipart. So I now have two ways of doing that.

Hi Modelhead,
Finished that lesson thanks.

I know that my result is not very tidy, I know that I need to reposition the navigation bars a pixel this way or that.

results can be seen at

thank you

Hi Kris,
Okay with me,
cheers
Alan
PS I'll be getting on with my lesson soon.

Hi Gaieus,
Picked that up. I will look into all of this soon.
I will sign up to Google sitemaps as suggested.
Thank you
Alan.
PS pigtails, now how can I include that.

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

Hi Modelhead,
Sorted that now.

PS its not on the full web page yet, still working on it.

Hi Gaieus
Thanks for that
cheers
Alan

Hi Modelhead,
Thanks for that.
cheers
Alan

Updated the web page today on the topic of sharpening my Japanese marking knife. You will find it on the tools link page

Hi Bill
France won. Now they say next week we will be putting out our first XV. See what happens then
cheers
Alan

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
PS I'm offline soon to watch the England v France rugby union match.
back later

Hi Bill
Welcome and thanks. The Yahoo package is so user friendly. And the teacher: well brilliant.
cheers
Alan

Modelhead,
Problem resolved with the navigation bar in this lesson. I now know how to fix a similar problem with my web site.
Thank you
Alan

Hi Modelhead,
Thanks for the last. Yep Im pretty pleased with the tools. They should help considerably when I'm attempting to explain my methods.
cheers
Alan

Hi Modelhead,
Greetings.
Just finished the last. Excellent tutorial.
Only completed a folder for project 1 so far.
I will see if this link works.

cheers
Alan
now that did not work. Give me a minute or two.

Thats better. Done.

What I like about this feature is that I will be able to give a brief overview of the topic that I will be covering. Great potential.

I will be ready to work on the next part of this teach tomorrow evening, or whenever the other guys are up to speed.

Thank you
Alan
