So this is a re-post of an old thread of mine with broken links.

The easiest way to center a smaller sfw flash movie instead of being forced to have it to the left side of the screen using an HTML widget and center it with multiple 2 column widgets is to place the code into a Widgetbox Widget instead.

The Widgetbox Widget has a default Center justification on your page or within a 2 column widget.

Happy site building

Hmmm I see how it is... I allow the B-man see my creation the other day and he thinks he can beat me... Hmmm you ain't see nothing yet mate. It's on like Donkey Kong.

Ooooo I'm so scared...



I have to admit something... I thought at the very beginning that I was just going to be able to throw something together in a day but when assessing the sites requirements and the owners hoped for end results I rethought that. I think looking back I took more time from my daily tasks than I should have to build it but it's all in fun anyway. I think that I am all done and just waiting on some pictures of the employees and a few more of the store if possible.

Here's what I have so far... http://ace101.yolasite.com/

Buddy we must think alike because out of searching through hundreds of free twitter birds last week I happened to pick that very one because I loved the look of it. Now you had to go and post it here for all to see. Thanks mate... ;) LOL

To change or not to change is now the question. See if Santa gives you a present this year. I'm thinkin a twitter bird dropping in your stocking. ;)

I am truly on the fence as to whether or not I should even submit the site I have created because of it being open to only us here. Decisions, decisions, decisions...

Ed-a-Torials @ Honey Bear Playhomes replied on August 16, 2009 11:44 to the question "ermmm... my site looks a bit up an down!!" in Yola:

Even though my back door works nearly 90% of the time to be truthful Smithy I would seriously contemplate using another code than that which you are using because my work around simply took the footer and placed it back at the bottom like it should be but the footer is still somehow attached to the code you are using and has become migratory and shifts left and right with the movement of the 2 column widget.

If you cannot find an alternate then their is one additional step you must take. You have already done the first 2 steps.

1) Drag a 2 column widget onto your page
2) Drag your HTML widget with the funky CSS code into the right side of the 2 column widget
3) Drag another 2 column widget onto your page and
4) Drag the first 2 column widget with your HTML widget inside into the new 2 column widget
4) Update

Page acting funny? Footer now your header? If you have a code you use which affects the way your site looks you might be able to fix it. A honey Bear Playhomes Tip...

Do you now or have you ever had a code you placed on your page interact with YOLA's coding or another code you place and it make your page look all funky?

I will tell you the holy grail of back doors that I in my long nights trying to fix horrific looking nightmares on my sites worse than you can imagine came up with as a back door if you will to the code interactions...

Ready for it???

1) Drag a 2 column widget onto your page
2) Drag your HTML widget with the funky CSS or code into the right or left side of the 2 column widget and adjust the center divider to your liking
3) Update
That's it... Three steps to lock the code within the 2 column widget from interacting with YOLA's code.

This usually works to safely lock away the bad code from interacting with another on your page but just to be fair it has failed a few times out of all the 50+ times I have used it. Still pretty great odds.

If needed you may have to use an additional 2 column widget and drag the first inside one of the sides of the new one. This is only needed if their is some lingering interaction such as a migratory footer or other abnormality. You have already done the first 2 steps.

1) Drag a 2 column widget onto your page
2) Drag your HTML widget with the funky CSS code into the right side of the 2 column widget
3) Drag another 2 column widget onto your page and
4) Drag the first 2 column widget with your HTML widget inside into the new 2 column widget

Hey Smithy

This can be quite bothersome when adding any CSS or code to your website and having it interact with YOLA's coding... The end result is either very bad or very funny. In your case it is a little of both.

I looked at your source and sadly could not play around with it enough to make it work like you want without ruining it good...

That said, I will tell you the holy grail of back doors that I in my long nights trying to fix worse than you have came up with as a back door if you will to the bad CSS additions...

Ready for it???

1) Drag a 2 column widget onto your page
2) Drag your HTML widget with the funky CSS code into the right side of the 2 column widget and adjust the center divider to your liking

Hey B

Thanks for the vote of confidence on my abilities but it is an open game and anyone stands a chance of pulling the rabbit out of the hat so to speak.

As to the Champs getting behind me... While I think that would be super I would rather see you all help someone with less time in the site builder than me. I imagine that there are many new and even seasoned builders who would love it to have their very own Champ helping them. That is why we are here is it not?

The site I am building I am keeping the principle (K.I.S.S.) to mind and purposely not including any custom CSS or HTML to make it easy for the one editing later to understand. I think that if most users would see my site builder for H.B.P. they would all have their jaw drop and say "What, how and no way" a lot. I don't want to overwhelm the one who has to edit the site with coding that can with one misaligned widget throw off the entire page. I am sure that you know what I mean ;)

Oh and by the by... The name of the sub-domain matters little as their domain would point to the new website and would mask the sub-domain anyway...

Ed-a-Torials @ Honey Bear Playhomes replied on August 13, 2009 01:51 to the update "Yola Website Makeover Challenge" in Yola:

I too feel badly for those of you out of the US... I wonder if YOLA will allow co built websites with Americans having partnerships abroad to help build a site and split the award.

Taxes may be an issue but if that is dealt with between site builders and the American can hold back the amount of taxes and then split the remaining then I think that should be workable.

Additionally, is it possible for the owners of the website being rebuilt to provide us with employee pics and names so that we can use them on the site we build for the contest. A brief bio on the company history including what year founded would be nice.
