To add to Marije's response, your index page will be titled index / home... if you plan on including this in your menu - consider editing the menu option to be changed to "blog".

I'll try Nabble also, thanks for the suggestions.

I guess I can try those, 10 is kinda low though.... if I get 11 requests, I'm screwed... I don't yet make enough money to invest. – Donald, on November 24, 2009 19:31

Are there any completely free newsletter services available?

I have in the past used a newsletter service whereas you create a newsletter using their templates and then setup dates for automatic emailing... however, only the first 30 days was free for this service. Are there any newsletter services completely free of charge?

hopefully... I'll see what I can do.

The problems I'm experiencing are fixable but time consuming, especially if the problem isn't noticed right away and I have visitors to my site confused... it's more of an inconvenient having to preview every single page and then looking for a moved widget so I can fix it. Hopefully yola can somehow figure this out and fix it. I'm pretty sure it's not my computer as I can delete ALL browsing history and internet files and cookies from all browsers and it will still happen. The only thing I can suggest to figure the issue is to take the same steps I do... but that wouldn't be so easy.

First I save page as, it could be anyone of my pages just so my same style is preserved without having to recreate each page... then I edit the page to the content that goes on it, I add links to other pages that are on the page, I then add all properties options, then I preview page to discover the moved widget.

Donald replied on November 24, 2009 18:17 to the problem "A screenshot of my Ghostly Widgets. Please help solve this bug!" in Yola:

This happens often with other widgets. I'll often have a heading BELOW the list it's heading and that is never done by me. It only happens once per new page. When I create a new page, and then I create that page entirely and I'll go to preview the page, a widget somewhere on that page has been moved. I'll then... to fix it... have to refresh the page so the widget will be in the wrong spot and I'll have to move the widget back. After previewing the page again, it will then be fixed and never happen again on that page.

A comment on the problem "A screenshot of my Ghostly Widgets. Please help solve this bug!" in Yola:

nope, I see the same thing... but what I SAW (past tense) was different. As the page is refreshed or opened again, then it's the same way the preview page looks. But the widgets, I guarantee you, was not placed there by me, they were in the spot I wanted them... between the search box and heading and was never moved by me. I think the ghost did it. and from what I was reading from the other thread, it seemed to me like others had the same issue. – Donald, on November 24, 2009 18:12

when this problem first happens, it'll seem like nothing's wrong, then you preview page and will notice something is moved around... then the sitebuilder page is refreshed... then it's the same way the preview page was. I NEVER placed that empty text widget where it's at... it WAS between the search box and heading and was NEVER moved by me, it moved all by itself

Donald replied on November 24, 2009 18:08 to the problem "A screenshot of my Ghostly Widgets. Please help solve this bug!" in Yola:

Yes Sanja, since the page has been refreshed the widget's been moved... WHEN I PREVIEWED PAGE, the two widgets next to each other WAS NOT like that... I took a screen shot of the sitebuilder

yea, right now my income's not that great. I got one $20 donation "a friend gave me" through my website's donate button and made $30.99 in advertising for AdSense over the course of 8 months... so I'm always looking for ways to make more money.

Donald replied on November 24, 2009 17:59 to the question "Anchor tag not working" in Yola:

it works for me... it takes me directly to E on that page.

I have individual background colors too... look at the "headings" in my site.... http://youcanneverbetoosmart.com

Hi Kimberly, I had a question... I've often wondered about selling things using Amazon because I see it often. It "seems" those aren't "YOUR" products you're selling... do you get a commission for selling items on your website and how do you get started with that?

Donald replied on November 24, 2009 17:36 to the idea "There should be multi user logins and different passwords for different pages" in Yola:

yea, even if member systems are difficult to create, can't yola very easily allow a different password and user name for different pages? This way, pages would have to be manually created by us, but at least some stranger can't access someone else's information.

I don't know why I took a screenshot of the first page, just view it here... lol...

Here's some screenshots of my problem... in this particular situation/page it was an empty text widget (spacer) which had the problem, but occassionally it's other widgets such as headings, donate button, and even a couple times my bottom menu at the bottom of the page...

A comment on the problem "Widgets move around the page by themselves. They are like Ghosts!" in Yola:

nope... I wasn't indicating specifically what he was doing was ok or not ok, I was simply suggesting ending tags <!-- <li> --> aren't required. But it could cause problems to mispell them and to not include necessary beginning tags. Beginning tags ARE required or else a new bullet won't be included. Also, misspelling an ending tag usually won't cause a problem UNLESS that misspelling is another tag. For example, <!-- <il> --> is not a tag which is currently used in HTML 4.01 but possibly in HTML 5 by 2022. Right now, HTML 4.01 will probably ignore an ending tag of <!-- </il> --> because it's non existent. So do I believe that an ending tag of <!-- </il> --> will cause problems... no... but do I believe (or know) that not including a beginning tag will cause bullets to be unlike what you wanted, YES. – Donald, on November 23, 2009 22:07

A comment on the problem "Widgets move around the page by themselves. They are like Ghosts!" in Yola:

<!--
Unordered Lists
An unordered list is a list of items. The list items are marked with bullets (typically small black circles).

An unordered list starts with the <ul> tag. Each list item starts with the <li> tag.

<ul>
<li>Coffee</li>
<li>Milk</li>
</ul>

Here is how it looks in a browser:

•Coffee
•Milk
Inside a list item you can put paragraphs, line breaks, images, links, other lists, etc.

nowhere in there does it say it's required. It just simply uses them in the example. Also, you'll notice that I've done it above.. do you see my bullets? Of course you do... and no... I didn't use ending tags after each list. I never do. I've also read somewhere that NO ending tag is required as long as it's the last thing in that widget.
