| CHANGES Qu: How do I change my style sheet? |
Ans: The stylesheet name can be found near the top of your page's source code. You will find your style sheet in your 'styles' folder. Open it using 'Notepad'. You are ready to make changes ... |
| ALIGN Qu: How do I align the contents in a table cell? |
Ans: With Strict Xhtml all alignment commands must occur in the style sheet First .. add a line to your style sheet like td.list {text-align:left} Second .. in your web page modify your table data tag to td class="list" |
| SPACES Qu: How do I put extra spaces in my text? |
Ans: Use this command in your code: '&' followed by 'nbsp;'. With no gaps between the six characters. It stands for 'non-breaking space'. Don't forget the semicolon. |
| LOOKS WRONG! Qu: My changes work fine on my computer but when they are uploaded it doesn't look the same, or it just doesn't work properly. What am I doing wrong? |
Ans: One possibility is that you forgot to upload the updated version of your stylesheet. Another possibility is that you have intermixed capitals and lowercase in your filenames. Your home computer can tolerate a capital instead of a lowercase letter in a filename, but a browser on the net won't. |
| EMAIL Qu: Can I get email at my site i.e. fiona@rescuedremnants.co.nz ? if so is there an additional cost ? |
Ans: Yes you can get email. It is all dealt with by your Domain Name host. To Register a Domain Name costs $35 + GST per year and about $5 per month to host it(2005 prices). The hosting involves connecting it to your site and (usually for another small fee - maybe not) redirecting email to your personal email address. |
| ONE COMPANY? Qu: Do I have to have one company being my Internet provider, my Website host, and my Domain Name host? |
Ans: No, it can be done by three separate companies. |
| SERVER ADDRESS Qu: What do you mean "you will give the server address to point it at". Is the server address a behind-the-scenes thing? i.e. would my domain name look any different to my customers ? |
Ans: You give the server address to the person who is hosting your domain name and they program it in. The customers don't see anything different. |
| MONTHLY PAYMENTS Qu: About the minimum 6 month contract. Is this amount paid up front and then monthly after the 6mths ? |
Ans: You pay monthly the whole time, this makes it easier for small businesses starting out. |
| INVOICING Qu: Do you invoice me? ... or do I just set up a monthy Automatic Payment / Online payment ? |
Ans: Payment options available: Invoice(pdf file emailed after the first of the month), AP, Internet Banking, Bankcard($US only) (note: Direct Debit is currently unavailable). The only problem with AP is the bill will probably be for a different amount each month and you may have to pay a fee to change it. |
