Post subject: Website problems...

Well I bought a host a while back from "http://www.bluehost.com/". Im very satisfied with it and bought the domain "www.assassins-junkyard.com".

So anyways, I found a downloadable template I liked and put it up, edited it with dreamweaver ect. Heres where I run into a few problems. I dont know how to make any of the links work. Like link to new pages. I can make hyperlinks no problem. But I do not get how to make different pages with my template on them. I tryed copying my index.html and renaming it and then edited but it changes the other one also. I also have the same problem with sub-domains. I do not know how to put another index.html for those.

So if anyone is good with dreamweaver or just knows how to do this stuff I would appriciate it alot if you could help me. Thanks in advance.

Get MS Publisher, a very useful professional tool I use. You can use the same template as a master page and sort around your small details into each page, also you can add keywords and other useful items to it. BTW, when did subspace Server help become just "Server help" or at this point "Help".

Learn html and edit the file in notepad. Also, where'd you pirate IPB from?

Heh, a friend gave it to me. If you would like it I can give it to you. I will try the publisher thing and post back with my results. If anyone else has any suggestions please say.

The only problem with pirated forum software is the fact that you don't get upgrades. 2.1.4 has a security flaw, might want to find a pirated version of 2.1.5

MS Publisher does suck. And no offence, but if you can't figure out how to make links work, you shouldn't be running a website. :-/

It doesnt open htmls, you have to make your own template and once your done, you publish it to the web, which makes it a filtered html file. You'll have to recreate the template, but it worth it after you do it, because it's so easy to take your master page and edit it in the form you want for the next page. (I think I used to many ','s?)

If you need help in HTML (XHTML is the way to go), check here for tags. It should be very helpful, it shows on each tag on what browser version you need for that tag to work, and it gives simple examples to each definition.

Edit: Here's your problem.

Code: Show/Hide

<a href="#">Music</a>

All of your links have a '#' instead of the URL.

Make it look like this

Code: Show/Hide

<ahref="The_Link_To_The_Page_You_Want_Here">Music</a>

for all of your links. You can do it manually through your source.

Ex.

Code: Show/Hide

<a href="http://www.assassins-junkyard.com/">Coolest Place Ever.</a>

and it'll look like this.
Coolest Place Ever.

Also, all of your HTML files I see are named '#'. I think in your template you haven't name the files to each page yet. Learn how to do that, and you probably wouldn't need to change it, the template should automatically link those pages.

Thanks I figured out how to do it now. It was my problem before because I copyed the index.html so it changed the copyed one. But I redownloaded the template and took that index.html and edited it and they both were different. Thanks for your help everyone.
