Hi Adrian,

You can test out if your HTML code is "valid" by using an HTML validator, such as is provided by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium), which you can find here:

http://validator.w3.org/

Click on the "validate by direct input" tab, paste in your HTML code, and then press Check. It will let you know exactly where the errors are (if any), and also will give you the option to "clean up" your code with something called HTML Tidy..

You still need to be online though, to use either one of these services. But using them will help you identify problems more quickly, which should definitely save on bandwidth.

Hope that helps!

Hey Roxy,

I get the: " NO NO MEAN YES NICE MEAN NO NICE YES" sequence. Makes total sense, to me!

(I also like the part about having a holiday celebration, all right.... yay! :)

Seriously, I hope everyone in our staff is seeing your post -- it can't but help to make us smile!

Thanks for sharing!

Hi Sarah, What probably happened was an inadvertent misspelling, most likely when you typed in your email address for the first time. The good news is that our System Administrator is able to research the database for the login information and help you get back into your account, usually in record time. (But you have to send us an email as Ruth explained above, to get the process started….) I’m sorry this happened to you, but don’t be nervous! We’ll get this sorted out as quickly as possible.. we’re here to help! ~ Adrienne – Adrienne, on August 29, 2008 23:43

Hi hillbillybobjr,

I'm very sorry this is occurring for you! Would you mind very much sending us a support request from within the Site Builder? That way our engineers will have more information to work with as they investigate this problem.

Thank you very much for letting us know, and I apologize for the confusion / inconvenience you've experienced...

Hi Dlong: This question has come up before and been answered by our CEO and VP of engineering. Take a look, I think you will like what they have to say: http://getsatisfaction.com/SynthaSite/topics/can_i_make_people_pay – Monique, on August 29, 2008 07:53

Ciao Monique, how YOU doin?... just to clarify, I have on my site a "new client special" I offer a free website design "like this one", "with any services over $450.00" then I state "free hosting by synthasite". Basically, if they spend some $$$, I'll set up their synthasite no charge. I also show you guys on my link page, with a credit for the free template & hosting. End result, you get another site up & I get a happy client. If this is against your rules, I'll remove it or reword it to your liking. – Guido Graphics, on August 29, 2008 07:29

It might be an idea to clarify what you mean by this link. If you are referring people to SynthaSite in order to build free websites, we both support and encourage this. We really appreciate it when happy customers refer their contacts to us. – Monique, on August 29, 2008 07:07

I wanna be like you when I grow up! Beautiful! Simply beautiful! I'll be adding to my Squidoo page http://www.squidoo.com/free_website_w....

Thanks! Nice to get positive feedback, as this was my first website. I've always been into printing design, and this is a new media to me. Also, I posted a question to employee Adrienne about the free design... Thanks for the heads up. – Guido Graphics, on August 29, 2008 01:21

monica praying questioned if I'm allowed to offer free synthasite design as part of a special I have on my Home page... Is this ok or do I need to remove it? Thanks for the kind words about my work & site. – Guido Graphics, on August 29, 2008 01:17

Checked out your website, and absolutely loved it. :)

Just one thing which came to my mind is, you have written "free web design like this" kind of offer. Does it mean, you will design the whole website on synthasite and gift it to your customers. If yes, as far as i know that is against the terms of synthasite.
Though not sure, but i guess so.
Hope any Official Rep. can shed some light over it :-)

Hi Guido,

I just went to your website. It looks very polished. I especially love your Logos page and Print Design page. Beautiful, beautiful work!

Thanks for adding the SynthaSite Home Page to your Links page (right up there at the top, too.... :)

I hope you get a ton of website traffic!

Odd that it does not happen all the time though.

I don't have the need for you tip because I think I'm done for now but I am sure that might help someone else...

Glad you liked it so much Adrienne but I think you are being a little over the top with your comments. It is far from perfect and for my first site it will do fine for now...

I wonder what others think of it though maybe I will do as others have and say "hey look at me!!!" I think that sounds too self promoting and then again maybe i won't.

I would much rather say hey look at this and this is how you can do it. You know to help others rather than just sitting around and not doing anything to help.

Anyway just some thoughts...

Hi mredsayshi,

This may help you. If you want to cut and paste then this is one possible solution: copy it from Word, paste it into something like Notepad, and then copy that text to paste into your text widget. Seems lengthy but eliminates the problems brought by using text directly copied from Word!

yeah popeye the added little info sometimes happens when you cut out of microsoft word and paste into the text widget and as I created the lower red colored box below with using word. It just happens sometimes. Firefox does not recognize this information but Internet Explorer does and it just looks BAD. Thanks for letting me know it was there for I had not checked with my IE lately. (I use Firefox)

The way to get rid of it is to simply click just to before the first letter of the first word just after the unwanted info (You see there are so many items to) and then click delete until that first letter is next to the last letter or punctuation in the text directly above the unwanted info, then click enter as many times as is necessary to achieve the desired look. Someone may run into this problem in the future so I just thought to add it.

Example of extra info:

simply cheap siding exterior walls? Does it have GFCI protected power or none at all? Laminate flooring or plywood? is it on pressure treated runners or none at all? Do you want it to last 1,5,10 or 30 years?

<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->

You see there are so many items to consider when planning a purchase such as this. When building my play-home I took into consideration not only the enjoyable use by your child but the growth in height as well.

I don't know if it's just me but i see this at the bottom of your honeybear page. <!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]--> – popeye, on August 28, 2008 02:39

Mr. Ed! You've just brought the biggest smile to my face! :) your website is incredible. And your craft -- wow! Honey Bear Play Homes are the bomb. Popeye -- ask questions anytime.
