Newbie seeking some help

Hi there
I hope someone can help me.
I am pretty new at building website and have recently upload
the work that I have done however:
- My site only appears when I type the url in the search bar
but not when some clicks on the link, neither does it appear on
google or yahoo, although I have created Meta tags and have
registered.
The URL for the site (freespace.virgin.net/andy.fernie) will
get changed to a different one in the next few days as this does
not reflect the site at all, it was only ever meant to be
temporary, could this be the reason??
- The other problem that I am having with it is alignement,
for some reason or another whenever i add text, pictures etc the
main title heading / pictures shifts to the right..what would cause
this?
Many thanks
Nathalie

When someone clicks on the link......what link?
Your site is not likely to appear in google unless you submit
it to its
search engine or submit it to the open directory. Even then
it most
probably won't appear for several weeks, even months, if at
all.
Also getting ranked in a search engine requires good
descriptive
searchable content on your page, plus incoming links from
other sources
such as directories. So get posting all over the web,
basically anywhere
you can add a link to your site.
Use heading tags for you headings <h1>main page
heading</h1> <h2>Sub
Headings</h2>. A search engine spider will treat
anything in <h> tags as
more important so make sure its descriptive of the page.
Also make sure your actual written content addresses what it
is you
actually do and don't be afraid to repeat 'keywords' a few
times on the
page.

Nope. Its just not had nearly enough time to be found by a
spider and
searched. However if you are intending to move the site to a
more
'dedicated' named server such as medicalherbalist.com you
don't really
want it to be found on the server its on now.
Choose a domain name that reflects what you do, not
nathaliefournier.com
but herbalmedicine.com or herbalheath.com (probably gone) but
you'll
have to get creative to find a suitable name.

That's an issue with a very fragile page structure. You have
tried to
constrcution the main super-structure of you page using just
one table
and splitting and merging cells. NEVER a good choice when it
comes to
construction.
I see you are already using spacer gifs to prop some cells
open. Use it
to prop open the other cells to create a slightly more
inflexible stucture.

    If I want to buy a later version of Flash ...to save money ....how far back could I go without regretting this decion?
    I'm a hobbyist and love to experiment,  I can say I will do animating and action scripting about 50 - 50 till I figure what the contraints and limitations are.
    Also where (besides E-Bay) can I feel say in making this purchase?
    Does anybody know what CS4 may be selling for these days?
    Also ...if you are a pro with this software ...is there much difference in the animating environment from CS4 to CS5.5?
    Do I want to make sure I get a version with Action script 3.0 because it so much better than 2.0?
    I know ...I know ...do the research ...I'm on it ...but any additional help would be appreciated.

    Papervision is free ...correct?
    yes:  http://code.google.com/p/papervision3d/
    you should also check away3d.
    Papervision is like a renderer ...correct?
    it's a 3d engine.
    Papervision is what they use to produce some of those animations that looks semi-3D ...corect?  In otherwords its not plain 2D ...but not really 3D.
    no, they look completely 3d.  flash cs4 makes semi-3d animations
    Don't care about advanced Text ....I think.
    Don't think I want to create IOS either.
    Just a real quick question ....with flash BUILDER ...even though is taylored to developers ...you can do everything with it that you do with Flash professional ...correct?
    no.  i don't think you have a stage in flash builder that you can draw on and i don't think you have timeline frames.

    i've never tried to install on more than 1 so i don't know that.

  • Newbie needs some help

    Hi -
    What I have is some artwork from a customer in a PDF format.  I am taking that artwork, converting it to a JPEG, bringing it into my CAD software (solidworks/photoworks) as a decal, and overlaying the artwork onto the finished design.  My problem is the imported artwork has a "white background" for lack of a better term, behind the colors.  This background essentially hides all the stuff directly behind the decal.
    The artwork has the outline of the part it is to be printed on, which I would also like to remove.  In illustrator, the artwork and outline of the part come into the software as a single object (I hope that is the correct terminology)
    Is there a way to remove the white background and the outline and have just the artwork left (colors) and the export to a JPEG?  I'd post the artwork but I'm not sure my customer would approve even though its a released product.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks
    Joe

    You might be able to bring a pdf into your CAD program and AI also
    exports to dwg and dxf.
    Can you take a screen shot of the file and post it here by using the
    camera icon in the text input form when posting a response here?
    The white background may not actually be there but if there is a shape
    it can be selected the same as you would in A CAD program
    with a selection tool.
    The selection tool is a black arrow and the direct selection tool is
    the white arrow it is used to select a single path that might be part
    of a group of paths
    most people use this more often then the black arrow.
    You can also go tot he layers panel and expand the layer even if
    everything is collected on one layer and click at the right side of
    each path to select the path you look at the art on the canvas to see
    which
    path is selected it will be highlighted showing the path. when you
    have the one you want to delete you hit delete or back key on the
    keyboard. Then either save the file as a pdf or export as dwg dxf
    ortiff or png or jprg or what you think looks best when you bring it
    back into your program.
    Select part of the art with the direct select tool with the path highlighted blue
    The same file with the path deleted

  • Spry Newbie needs some help

    It is the little things in life I was always told and all I
    am trying to do is to pretty much duplicate the form validation
    demo. However I am not even sure where to begin. I have created
    many forms and have had them submit and returned in an emial
    successfully but I am not quite sure how the Spry widgets work or
    how to apply them to an existing form or even a new one for that
    matter.
    Does the page have to be dynamic in order to use the Spry
    validation widget? Hopefully iy can be used on a static page. Are
    there any tutorials out there for creating a form in DW CS3 using
    the Spry validation widget?
    Thanks,
    Houston

    Hi,
    First of all, the Spry widgets works on static pages, so you
    don't necessary need to have a dynamic page.
    It is not to hard to make the demo from site, and I'll
    explain you the basic steps you should do to have these widgets
    working on your page. The css part, you can customize as you wish,
    the demo from site is just a customization.
    As I saw, you use Dreamweaver for creating this demo, so I'll
    give you the explanations for how to do it on DW.
    In a html page, add a form. Inside form add: a Spry Textfiled
    validation input (from the Spry tag), a Spry Select input and a
    Spry Textarea input.
    If you go in design view and select an widget, a blue border
    will appear and on the Property Inspector will appear all the
    properties you need to customize.
    To see exactly what does every property, please check the
    Dreamweaver help.
    This is the start to create you own form containing Spry
    widgets.
    Hope this help,
    Diana

    What I understood is that after parsing the XML file, the class clears all variables... What I'm doing wrong?
    N.B. Previewing this message I see that there's something wrong displayng the index of "ch" in the for cicles in the characters() method, I wrote them right, is just a display bug!

    first Dr. Clap is correct.
    What I understood is that after parsing the XML file
    the class clears all variables...not at all! you simply don't realize than we you do new Configurator() you instanciate a new class.
    the variables are set in this new class, not in the current one!!!
    hence, the address is there: handler.dbAddress !!!

    Ad a new, temporary column (or one you can hide when not using). Let's say the current Prices are in column C and the new column is D.
    you can inflate the prices in column C by 5% by entering the formula in the first cell of column D as:
    =C2*105%
    likes this:
    to fill down, select D2, then copy, then select the D3 thru the end of the column, then paste.  Now select C2 thru the end of column C, now paste over the existing values using the menu item "Edit > Paste Values"
    you can now hide column D until you need to use it again.

  • Newbie needs some simple help on triggers

    Hi there. I need to create a trigger and am very new to this language and would love some help.
    I have tables STUDENT, BOOKS, BORROWING.
    When a student borrows a book, a composite entry is created in the BORROWING table. In the Books table, their is an attribute 'Borrowed' with a Y or N.
    When a new record with the same Title as a book is created in borrowing, the value of 'borrowed' needs to be set to Y. So far I have the following, but forgot that I need to insert a WHERE clause so that it doesnt update every book, but only the book that causes the trigger.
    I am having trouble with this- how would i go about doing this? Any help appreacited...
    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER book_returned_trigger

  • Please note that i am seeking some assistance with adding the followng resource: A maximum of 4 resources can be added at an additional cost of $500 per day per resource.

    Hi, Please note that i am seeking some assistance with adding the following resource to a task in Microsoft Project 2010:
    A maximum of 4 resources can be added at an additional cost of $500 per day per resource.

    Hi Clemence,
    Your post has quite little details, but as far as I understand, you want to add 4 resources on a task, each resource costing 500$ a day. Since it is not mentionned if it is generic resources (skill or role) or named resources, I'll assume that it is generic
    resources. Based on this understanding, here is a proposal:
    Go to the resource sheet,
    Create a work generic resource ("type" field set to "work", "generic" field to "yes"), typing in the resource name field the skill name,
    In the max unit field, enter 400% for 4 resources (for just 4 if  your Project 2010 is configured to display units in decimals),
    Since the rate is an hourly rate, make the calculation : 500$ per day / 8 hours a day = 62,5$ per hour,
    Go back to the Gantt Chart, split the window (click "detail" in the view tab of the ribbon),
    Select your task and assign the newly created resource with a given % units.
    Hope this helps.

    Hoping for some help with a very frustrating issue!
    I have been syncing calendar and contacts on my iPhone 5 and Outlook 2007 using iCloud  2.1.3 (my PC is running Vista). All was well until the events I entered on the phone were showing up in Outlook, but not the other way around. I’ve tried the usual recommended steps: deselecting calendar and contacts in the iCloud control panel and then re-selecting, signing out of the panel and back in, and repairing the Outlook installation in control panel.  I even uninstalled iCloud on the PC and downloaded it again (same version). 
    The furthest I’ve gotten is step 2 (and once, step 3) of 7 while performing “Outlook Setup For iCloud.” At that point I get, “Your setup couldn’t be started because of an unexpected error.”  After the first attempt at all this, all my calendar events disappeared from Outlook, although they are still in iCloud calendar and on my phone.
    Sound familiar?  Any ideas on how to solve this iCloud/Outlook issue?  Thanks much in advance!

  • Can some help with CR2 files ,Ican`t see CR2 files in adobe bridge

    can some help with CR2 files ,I can`t see CR2 files in adobe bridge when I open Adobe Photoshop cs5- help- about plugins- no camera raw plugins. When i go Edit- preference and click on camera raw  shows message that Adobe camera raw plugin cannot be found

    That's strage. Seems that the Camera Raw.8bi file has been moved to different location or has gone corrupt. By any chance did you try to move the camera raw plugin to a custom location?
    Go To "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS5\File Formats" and look for Camera Raw.8bi file.
    If you have that file there, try to download the updated camera raw plugin from the below location.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5371&fileID=5001
    In case  you ae not able to locate the Camera Raw.8bi file on the above location, then i think you need to re-install PS CS5.

  • Could I have some help identifying and fixing dead/stuck/hot pixel?

    Hello, yesterday whilst watching a movie on my Macbook Pro I noticed something on my screen, at first I thought it was just something stuck on the screen but it seems to be an issue with a pixel. I would appreciate help regarding identifying if it's a dead, stuck or hot pixel and any ways of fixing it. It seems to be smaller than what I had previously experienced (on other machines) dead/hot/stuck pixels to be and I can't really tell if it's white or a light blue. It doesn't show up on any colour other than greys and blacks.
    Also, is it likely that taking it to an apple store will yield results if it's still in warranty and I explain that as a photographer it's a very annoying thing to have on almost the centre of the screen.
    I hope you guys can provide me with some help, it will be much appreciated.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    That's a dead pixel or it may be dust, too. In both cases, as your computer is in warranty, take it to an Apple Store or reseller and you should get the display replaced for free, even if it's only one pixel.
    I wouldn't be surprised if that's dust. I have seen a lot of cases related to dust in this forum, but it has got the same solution as the dead pixel

    Already gone through troubleshooting guide a zillion times. Thanks.

    This worked for me... A little time consuming but once you get rolling it goes GREAT... Thanks....
    I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
    Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
    Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
    Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
    Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
    Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
    It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
    Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
    Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
    Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
    Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now.

    What's the origin of this external drive? It sounds very much like it's a Windows-formatted (NTFS) drive which Macs can't write to. If you can, copy the files off the drive, reformat it as Mac format (using Disk Utility) and copy the files back. If you need to continue writing to it from a Windows PC, you should format it ExFAT in Disk Utility.

    Try moving the existing backup file to a safe location so that iTunes has to create an entire new file.  The backup file is located here. You can delete that backup once you get a successfull backup.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP,  Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

    This is probably one of the beginner's questions and I appreciate if someone can teach me how. When e-mailing from Safari, for example, a page includes 'contact information' of a company and sending an e-mail by a click, Safari links to Apple's mail.
