Hi Guys,
Yep. Second that from Edson. I would love to know how many people other than Edson and myself,who are also in the process of building their own web pages thanks to there tutorials.
Right, back to my homework.
cheers
Alan.

Hi Modelhead,
Just picked up the latest lesson.
I will get on with that this evening.
Thank you
Alan

Hi Modehead,
Great to see you here.
Thanks for this lesson.
This feature could have a great deal of use in my project, allowing the viewer to have a 'brief overview' of what I am going to cover in a particular teach package.
This will keep me busy for tomorrow.
Thanks
Alan

Hi Gaieus,
thanks for that
Alan

Hi Bruce,
I will second Edson's comments. I have plenty to work on ,and any time you are free, I will take up the lessons again, when you have time.
Thank you
Alan

Hi Modelhead,
I would be very happy to travel along the same path as Edson.
Having viewed Edson's pages, it has given me the idea that on my tools navigation bar, it will lead me to a page, full of the links to all the 'tool' subjects that i need to talk about.
That will be a much clearer way, I believe, to nagivate around my site.
Great idea, thanks Edson.
Thank you Bruce
cheers
Alan.

PS having viewed loads of sites for ideas, and I believe we are travelling along the right path, and getting there. At the time of this posting the site has not been updated.

Hi Modelhead,
Alan...Let me know your thoughts on navigation. I'm guessing you are not sure on direction.
Reply.
If I had a choice, and I’m not sure if this is possible within Sitebuilder, I would prefer a navigation bar, so that when I placed my mouse over it, gave me a menu. If that was possible, that would be, my choice. In that way I could have under the tools, navigation bar on my web site, marking knife, dovetail marking knife, marking gauge, etc etc.

you said
The scrolling pictures are good....just one tip...you don't need a vertical scroll bar. It has appeared because the page you built for the iframe is taller than the iframe. If you make the page the same size or smaller than the iframe the scroll bars will disappear.
Reply, thanks for that.

You can also remove the scroll bars completely.
Reply. Right I will look into how to do that from the help menu.

and either
build separate files to call to each iframe via regular link
reply I think I know what you mean. I’ll work on that today.

or you can place named anchors as I have mentioned earlier.
reply not sure how to do that. I will check in the help menu.

I need instructions from you on the direction you would like to take with the page from here.

reply If you can give me some time to explore a bit more on the above topics it would be helpful please. The boss is back and she needs a bit of time on the computer.

cheers,
Thanks
Alan.

Hi Edson,
Thanks for that. The site is not meant to attract personal clients.

What I will achieve one day, is a 'must view' site that cabinet makers will visit to gain knowledge, and with practice upgrade their skills.

What is out there at present, is not good enough in books or magazines. Some do the job reasonally well, whilst others are well below par. With the knowledge base I have in the woodworking field plus other skills including now sketchup (still upgrading them) I will have half a chance of producing an excellent package.

Kris mentioned earlier in this thread, linking to other web sites. Initally I have two schools in mind. When I have something meaningful on my web site, I will approach them and see if they are willing to view my 'teach packages' just to see if it is suitable for a beginner, and with their help, nail it.

I wrote recently to the editor of Fine Woodworking magazine, published in America, with details of my specialist jigs etc etc. The editor felt their readership would not be interested. Time will tell if he is right, but I really don't think so.

In the woodworking world we are poorly served with a fair number of inferior products that need upgrading if you have any chance of success. I best get off my soap box.

Cheers, and thank you.

Alan

ps. Just made a few adjustments to my web site after this lesson
http://www.hand-cut-dovetails.com
It makes it a bit neater. Still not right though.

Hi Modelhead,
My results of the last lesson can be found at:-
http://www.hand-cut-dovetails.com/navtutorial

I will now go and check out all the information in sitebuilder help guide on the topic of iframes.

thank you
Alan

Morning Modelhead,
Thanks for the latest lesson.
I will be working on this lesson this afternoon/evening.
Thank you
Alan.

Hi Modelhead,
problem solved. I had used by index page from my web site and not the index page that we had created in my navtutorial folder. Oh what a fool am I!!

Also played around with advanced navigation bar editor that allowed a fair amount of editing. Will play a little more with that just to see the benifits.

Thanks again

Alan

Hi Modelhead,
The problem I am having here is this
If you click on my link
http://www.hand-cut-dovetails.com/navtutorial
it will take you to what I have created for this lesson.
If you go through all the pages and view them, all that works,

but if you then press the link to the index page, it takes me onto
my live web page.

I went back to Sitebuilder and deleted my index page from the tutorial folder. I than added a new index page in this folder.

I still have the same problem, if you select index it takes to onto my live web page. Cannot work that one out yet.

cheers

Alan

Hi Modelhead,
Yep. Managed to replicate what you had achieved by adding a seperate
naviation bar on page 3. This will be very handy for me.

You can see the result by going to

Thankyou.

Alan

played too much and now the index page from my web site is showing. ha ha.

PS back to play. Going to learn something.

Modelhead,
thanks for the last lesson,
cheers
Alan

Hi guys,
I will out of this space now until tomorrow. The boss has been on a jolly jaunt to France, and I need to do a few jobs before she returns.
Thanks for the last Edson. Have a good Sunday as well.
cheers
Alan.

Edson,
I've got some great idea form your site to do with nagivations bars and links.
cheers
Alan

Hi Modelhead,
What would suit my needs, as with Edson, is something that is possible with sitebuilder.

If the navigation bar at the bottom of the page is possible with sitebuilder, that would be perfect for me.

thanking your
cheers
Alan.

Hi web page builders,

I have had a pm from Modelhead (Bruce)

He is unavailable at present, so our lessons are on hold from him, for the time being.

I will pm with the reason if required, but otherwise we, in my opinion, have enough learning to do without our mentor.

Kris (R us guys knuts)

Your have come up on this thread before with some excellent advise for me.

I would like to ask you to be kind enough to come on board, and help us beginners on our path, until Bruce returns.

If you are king enough to agree, remember we are [b]beginners[/b.
Jargon, abbreviations, are just of no use at all. They are not clear.

Edson, in one of his latest posting asked Bruce, about navigation bars.

I personally would like you, to take up the batton, and 'teach' on that as well.

Bruce's method of 'teaching' using his lessons and screensaver, for me, were unbeatable. It crossed the language barrier.

Words alone are, in my opintion, not sufficient for a beginner.

thanking you

Alan

PS I would not have dreamed of asking if you had not given us some advise before.

Edson,
Yep I like that idea,
cheers
Alan

Modelhead,
I will be up to speed, with the other tutorials in around 15 minutes
cheers
Alan
