A comment on the question "301 Redirecting" in Yola:

oh yeah and very improtant make sure the most of links you have/get are with your preffered domain. – UK Duke, on November 25, 2009 14:15

A comment on the question "301 Redirecting" in Yola:

presume it would...

The main thing is to try and not have duplicate content, i.e. for google to think of it as 1 site not 2 - either or, whay do you want the www.?

Either ways good whatever you like, the whole .php or not .php is just as important i think - i have now changed every internal link in my site not to use the .php - or at least most of them. - I still know for a fact google have both versions of some pages ranked.

A comment on the problem "black line - ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh" in Yola:

Nice one Ed - Thats what i call team work :) -- You can see my site is much better now - as is yours. Do you have a pro account or just a new style? - If you have a pro you might as well get all that java and css into files, maybe its on your list :)

Again thanks for doing the image - alls well that ends well.

I hoep Yola fix it soon - or maybe we should start selling our work around? :)

Take care - Lee. – UK Duke, on November 25, 2009 14:01

Boomer,

You want to stick with the non www, its doing better, i would suggest you need the canonical domain to be without the www.

This is done Yola side. They did it for me.

You can also set a prefered domain in your webmasters account.

Then you have to try and get as many of the links to your site without the www.

Also try to get the pages right - always linked either with or without the .php

I hate all this stuff, i have now managed to get my site 360 pages ranked from www. and only 50 from with www. - i still beleive some of that tho is double content with and without the .php.

in a html widget at the top of the page. It should work. – UK Duke, on November 25, 2009 11:39

A comment on the idea "time to step it up?..." in Yola:

Thanks Rian,

Just to expand on a couple of points, things i'd like to see.
- the blog - more style control and built in comments
- rss readers - hosted at yola full style control
- social share - i'm sure this could be made pretty quick, a set of icons you drag into the page which allows that page to be shared acroos certain big social sites.

Thanks again Rian. Lee. – UK Duke, on November 25, 2009 11:36

A comment on the idea "time to step it up?..." in Yola:

The first 5 suggestions yes they should be apart of the free builder, i think any kind of log in system that was worth anything should be a pro feature, i would only really want a log in that had a decent bit of database control, some things very basic users dont want or need to think about. – UK Duke, on November 25, 2009 11:21

Glad its working - it looks good - well done.

To finish it off you need to add the smooth sailing script...
Add this to your page and see the effect it has

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://hexham.info/resources/bookmarkscroll.js">

If you want to host the java file yourself go here and download the file, upload it to your server and point to its url - http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicin...

<!--

Make sure the code is correct:

set the link <a name="#a"></a>

Find the link with this if its on the same page <a href="#a">A</a>

Or

<a href="http://SITENAME.com/PAGENAME.php#a">A</a>

If its not on the same page.

Johnny, leave the staff a little more info, what domain did you buy?

When it comes to money and personal details its always better you email yola support - support@yola.com

I'm sure it will be sorted out really soon dont worry.

Randy if your reading the last comment from an email - come to the forum and read it - i forgot to add <!-- --> - its right in the forum. – UK Duke, on November 24, 2009 14:22

A comment on the question "Keeping menu HTML code on my hosting server" in Yola:

<!--

So now you see that anything can go into the floating bar. Now we have to make the anchor links.

An anchor link works like this:

Put this <a name="a"> anywhere you like on the page (obviously it would go at the top of the a's on the real page.

Then add this (lets say) near the top of the page <a href="#a">A</a>

Thats it.

The same works for B -- <a name="b"> -- <a href="#b">B</a> and so on.

Also just so you know, with that floating bar you can change the width of it and the colour of it in the css your given from the page.

remember that you will need to change the URL of the images in the CSS to resources/imagename.png – UK Duke, on November 24, 2009 11:20

A comment on the idea "Wouldn't it be great if we could add hues or colors to each text background and border lines?" in Yola:

Cornered boxs are actually 4 little images placed in each corenr with css.

The way i made mine was in paint i drew the corners and then made the css for placing them...

I think instead of me trying to teach you css and you drawing the corners yourself - the best thing to do is go here http://www.roundedcornr.com/

In my opinion the smaller the corner the better - i use 5 pixel corner radius on mine - just have a play round with different fiqures see what you like the look of - bigger corners to me tend to look cartoonish - not sleek.

Let me know if you get stuck.

do you want square corners or rounded corners?

Square is very easy rounded are little more tricky - some prefer the look of them - have another look at my page i link above... see which style you prefer (forget about the colours etc. just look at the corners of the box's.

UK Duke shared an idea in Yola on November 24, 2009 09:50:

time to step it up?...

Hi guys,

This is a moan and a ideas suggestions at the same time.

You all know i love Yola, but i also love being on the winning team, my friend has just made a site with (i wont link it) WP -- its really got some good things on it,
These are the features i thought 'wow' about.

The whole blog side of things is in a different league. YOLA NEEDS THIS

There is a in-site site search which works really well. YOLA NEEDS THIS

There is a in-site RSS reader - really nice. YOLA NEEDS THIS

Better in-site image scrollers/galleries than i have ever seen. YOLA NEEDS THIS

In-site social share icons. YOLA NEEDS THIS

In-site log in. YOLA NEEDS THIS

All of the above add up to a great looking/feeling site. I think at WP they call some of the features above plug ins... Yola should perhaps think about this sytem of things if you dont want to confuse entry level builders.

If you want a link to the site that was built with WP and impressed me so much send me an email.

Looking forward to a response.

Lee.
