Post by: Gary Doyle on August 07, 2008, 03:00:43 PM hello Chip, when will this new web builder be up and able to make changes?
thanks gary doyle Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: Tatjana Prelog on August 09, 2008, 11:25:29 PM Well ... sory ladies and gentlemen that I have to complain (again), but this SiteBuilder is total disaster. I'm sitting here infront the CPU already for half an hour waiting for it to load, but it loads and loads and loads ... never end of it. Well, I don't have the fastest CPU of the World, but also not the slowest as well so ... Also I can already see these changes are more cosmetic. It would be much better if we would have one such as drag & drop builders or something like this, what is more useful and userfriendly. I'm just curious when this SiteBuilder will upload now, because I can't even exit it properly. What I can do is close the window and that's all, but that's not the way to be things done.
I already contacted support about this, but the facts are the facts and they can't be changed. Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: S Guzman on August 11, 2008, 05:35:02 AM Hi Chip!
It was very unprofessional of GDI to launch a new web builder without giving previous notification; I think you'll agree. Good communication is paramount in running a business. Also, the new web builder was launched apparently without proper testing and it is not really operational yet. My website is a mess and all I can do about it is watch and see my ratings drop (they weren't that high). What is going on? S. G. Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: JohnSprague on August 11, 2008, 05:35:02 AM Chip- Is the new sitebuilder complete yet? It is not user friendly and the security is poor. Someone has already altered my site since this new upgrade. Not happy with this - John.
Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: StevenM1 on August 11, 2008, 05:35:02 AM Well, I'm in the same boat, I'm not to found of the new site builder either :-[. I have been having trouble with it as well. Creating pages, or making changes takes forever to update. Got frustratred with it yesterday, and just got frustrated again today with it. Miss the old sitebuilder, it was alot easier for me to use :'(.
Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: CamelliaPuffer on August 11, 2008, 02:48:28 PM Looks like it will be great once the kinks are out of it..
ARE THERE NEW TEMPLATES..?????? . please say yes... that is the biggest complaint I have when selling websites! Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: ErnestoEspinoza on August 12, 2008, 06:18:19 PM ....yes, i had started to try this business 3 years ago and never really did anything, Now i am getting pumped up on it since i never really tried anything .
I had gotten started on building my own page.....check it out ...i did all my self w/o any previous knowlwdge about HTML, tags, etc , took me about 5 hrs..............Then CRAPPPOLA..........they done Bambooozled me !!! Now i'm gonna see about learning to load all content via FTP. Lets see how that goes.....Good luck folks................Nothing worth anything is easy or free ....thats the law of nature. Give it all you got Baby and when you all out !!!! .............DIG Deeper..... Die Trying if you have to ....don't be a chump!! Peace and hair grease !! Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: DPro on August 13, 2008, 09:38:17 AM After reading all the horror stories, I think it would be wise to put on hold any site design using web builder for the moment until all the hiccups are solved
Alternatively you can use 3rd party offline web builder if you can't wait to go live. One good and free one is NVU, get the software free here: http://nvudev.com/index.php I have video tutorials on how to use NVU if you are new, just drop me a message for the link.

Post by: PCarr on August 13, 2008, 09:21:44 PM We're supposed to be building a business, but I don't see how we can possibly recommend this to anyone else when we can't even edit our own web pages now.
And no one will reply to all the questions and let us know that it's being worked on -- or at least show some sympathy for all the problems. Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: ChristopherBlack on August 17, 2008, 06:06:06 AM I did GDI several years ago and LOVED the site builder then. Now I've registered a domain and it loads for well over and hour and keeps loading and finally IE and Firefox time out after about an hour and a half.
HELP HELP HELP! I have a HUGE network of people I'm bringing to GDI but first things first. I have to build a site to demo. Thanks Chris Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: JohnAntoniades on August 17, 2008, 02:59:32 PM I see , I am not the only one complainning...from my 10 pages , 2 are 'upside' down....literally...what the ???? is going on? I tried repairing them but I can NOT even log on to the programm !!!! Please DO SOMETHING NOW !!!! I MEAN IT !!!!
Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: AlastairHarris on August 18, 2008, 09:05:18 AM I'm not complaining - I like the new site builder.
Yes I've had to redesign some of my pages, but it didn't take that long. HUGE BONUS - it looks like we are no longer limited to ten pages - GREAT It looks like new templates are on the way - Even better. The content blocks are easier to use and move and you can great a more "newspaper feel" for your web pages. I'M LOVING THE NEW SITE BUILDER. Yes there are kinks. I've had to do a couple of pages twice - I don't know why they didn't save the first time, but its a step in the right direction. And the Widgets - well if you haven't had a play with them yet give it a go. Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: Tatjana Prelog on August 18, 2008, 03:35:15 PM To my previous comment I can say only this:
1. When I've written the last (previous) somment I have to say that I've waited for nothing as PageBuilder didn't load for me at all. 2. Today I've logged into SiteBuilder to repair some of my sites, but to my very unpleasantly surprise I all of a sudden have no pages but I had them 10 + guestbook. 3. When I tried to repair everything it came to situation that that tab doesn't work at all and so repairing the sites wasn't possible probably because they were simply deleted during the transfer and are there no more. Sorry to say this, but this all is VERYYYYYY!!!!! UNPROFESSIONAL and the company like you are shouldn't afford something like this at all. What did you think at all (if you think anything at all) that you didn't get some beta testers first who would try sitebuilder first so you could get all the problems and errors away already during this periode? All respected companies are doing so and I know even some geming sites (gaming shouldn't be soo sirious thing after all) who release beta versions and hire some voluntair beta testers first according to avoid such a (can't say different then) shame. I don't know how will you do this and I don't even care, but as so much effort was put into my sites I want them back as they were. Yes, sorry, but I am angry for the first time after a long time and I even am reconsiddering the thought of leaving GDI. Having some internet space where I could build my own sites and have my own domain had priority for me here and I didn't even care so much for the earning of some money and now the main purpose was destroyed and is there no more ... Take a look by yourself http://www.tatjanap.ws - total disaster in deed. I just wish no one else would experience something like this. Imagine one is newby in developing websites and with some help from support and members here hardly developed a webpage which maybe even started to bring him/her some money and then one day with the new SiteBuilder it is there no more ... I have no doubt he/she would feel like not crying but scraming out of anger and dispear. Now my dear GDI heads - DO SOMETHING (other then deleting this post). Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: CWice on August 24, 2008, 05:49:56 AM Hello Folks:
I am a newby at this & I must say, after logging into the forum about this WebBuilder, that this news is discouraging ! However, if we all have patience, I am sure that all will be ironed out soon. My upline is new also, and she has experienced the same simililar problems that some 8) of you have... I am anxiously awaiting the corrections, so that I can move foward in building my website, I also may look into a few of the other tututorials mentioned in other comments listed.. So hang in there, we are all in the same boat together, patience will keep us afloat while the issues are addressed and fixed !! We'll all move foward soon, I am sure CJ Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: Mike Lassley on August 25, 2008, 05:09:43 PM I haven't enjoyed this change or "upgrade" to the site builder either. Very frustrated!!!
In support of GDI, not forgiveness but support, I sent three emails to support through the FAQ section and got answers that helped. I finally made a phone call, explained the immediate problems to a real person, those problems were fixed with in one day and I've been able to navigate the sitebuilder much more easily. Give'm hell, give them your problems. TRY TO BE NICE! iT HELP EVERYONES DAY. mIKE Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: M Perez Cotto on August 27, 2008, 02:56:44 PM Hi, Friends!
I'm in a deadline, and there is no way to edit the text boxes. I can delete them and I can create another one. But then, it is impossible to edit the content. The patience in running out ... please HELP!!!!! Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: Nikolai Tovarnitski on August 28, 2008, 02:22:44 PM Hi everyone!
I have tried this new version of SiteBuilder. It's realy good one, but it needs to be corrected. The biggest minus is that it loads so long time. It have to be faster. Hope our Website Builder designers will do it soon as they can. :) Tatjana, don't be sad! So many times I have lost my information. I believe you can make a better website! Please, tell us why you get this letters on your website? It doesn't have to be in that way. Hope we will see more good information on how to use this SiteBuilder. There you can find some good information and help about GDI! :) Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: M Perez Cotto on August 29, 2008, 11:55:29 AM Hi, Friends!
Finally I have discovered, that the only way for editing the text boxes is creating a new page from scratch. I did that with just one page and it works marvellously. That way the new text boxes can be edited without problem and the infinite blank space at the end can be eliminated. The thing is that once the page is published you then come back to the same spot again, and there is no way to open the text boxes to be actualized in it's content. That means you have to create another page and this is impossible for me, due to the fact that I have to actualize content at least weekly and sometimes more. There is no way to keep creating 10 or more pages every time you have to make changes in the text boxes. I hope this is corrected soon and we can edit and actualize as smooth and easily as before. It is good the option of more than 10 pages and so is the unlimited caracter in the text boxes. By the way, try to put everything in just one text box, because every time you open the page in the sitebuilder, the boxes appears completed scrambled. So it is no possible to manage more than two or three boxes per page. Good luck to all. Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: Larry Wasan on September 01, 2008, 05:25:05 AM Everything seems to be working just fine for me.
The builder loaded fairly quickly, and I was able to make edits, save, and publish. Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: Mike Lassley on September 04, 2008, 11:47:36 AM I have found contacting GDI support with an email or by phone has helped a great deal. My last challenge was the edit problem, couln't edit existing blocks or newly created blocks.
Recent help email from GDI support said they couldn't duplicate my problem. Seems it corrected. They suggest I install an updated adobe flash player, I did and it seems to have made a difference. Here is the link they gave me; http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer Hope this helps. Mike Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: Tony T on September 04, 2008, 11:47:36 AM No it's not working for me either.
I can't edit any of my pages. I've signed up two new people and promtly lost them because they can't edit their pages either. This has got to be sorted out/fixed quickly or this business is dead in the water. Just my humble opinion. Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: F_Maria on September 05, 2008, 05:30:01 AM I have been in GDI for almost three years and was really happy using and changing my site. Now it is terrible, it never loads. Why has GDI made this to all the members. This is too bad. GDI used to let us know about every change they made and haven't noticed us for this terrible decision. Please let me know if this will change or I will really have to opt out like all the people in my downline. Besides I found out that my site is not the same as when I designed it. It changed and don't like it now but can't change it. Please help!! We all need it.
Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: Tatjana Prelog on September 15, 2008, 10:30:47 AM Well, I found all the sites, but they're all ruined, and now I encountered one more, much bigger problem. My domain is no more displayed though it's active. When typing www.tatjanap.ws the IE takes me to http://website.ws page. I've clicked repair in my sitebuilder to every page I have and it said they're repaired, but the pages are as much ruined as they were before. I clicked publish, I clicked for all sites to be visibel and here's still nothing.
I presume not only with text boxes is so that if you want to edit them, the only way is deleting them and create new ones. Obviously with pages is the same. Well, I'm even not so angry anymore, but I'm sad. So much work for nothing? Well, to write my so angry and frustrating previous comment I have the right to do so. I'm experiencing many more page builders from Yahoo to Moonfruit and (unfortunatelly) I have to say that they're easier and more reliable to run. They're also updated and replaced with new versions from time to time, but I never experienced this kind of (I have the right to say so) disaster. To those who are new and didn't use old SiteBuilder: Don't worry. You'll not experience this kind of frustrations and my husband who isn't so familiar with building pages is thrilled with it, but we, who are so many years with this business and put a lot of work, stuff and enthusiasm in our pages (I have 11 pages built alltogether with the Guestbook), have all rights to be frustrated, discourraged in a way and also angry. At least something was fixed, but I am sick to think that I'll have to sit hours and hours behind my CPU creating my pages over again at least a bit like they were before. Well ... Good luck to all in hope that your domain names are displayed for the change of mine which isn't. Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: Tatjana Prelog on September 15, 2008, 10:48:14 AM OK, guys, for all of you, who can't access your domain via www.yourdomain.ws, I've discoverred why is it so. You should no longer typw www in front of you domain, but just yourdomain.ws.
In additional, it would be very useful if we could define which page is the first and which the next, in one word that we could define the page order by ourselves. I've created a new page which I want to be .index page (that means main page) but I am (of course) not able to put it on first position even if I name it index. Well, that's from me. Now ... hard work is waiting for me ... Title: Something wrong with page properties Post by: M Perez Cotto on September 22, 2008, 10:59:37 AM Hi Friends:
Everything was working so good and suddenly there is something wrong with the properties and it is not possible to open the pages once published. I did actualize the pages URL in the properties section and it does not accept any changes. Maybe someone press the wrong botton and alter without knowing the site builder configuration for the properties section. Hope it is fixed as soon as posible. I'm almost happy again. Best wishes to all. Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: ThomasinnaW on September 23, 2008, 09:19:59 AM I just signed up today and of course have been on trying to edit my website all evening (on and off). I am already starting the marketing process however i would like to get my website up and running in order to test the product I am selling. I firmly believe that you have to believe in what you are selling!
Tina Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: JohnSprague on September 24, 2008, 11:29:23 AM Hi Chris-Not to be a pest but it has been over a month since the advent of the new website builder! Why is it not improved? It is really a faulty system that I'm surprised the management of GDI couldn't come up with a workable sitebuilder. Are the owners even aware of what has been sent our way? Is there an email address where I can contact them directly? It used to work fine before it was changed for the worse. Why? - John (not a newbie)
Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! It Works for Me Post by: Tony Denson on September 24, 2008, 11:29:24 AM The past two day s I have ben tweeking the front page on my website. Forgive me but the new Web Builder iis working great for me. It took me abbout ten minutes to learn there is -for me- a 12 to 15 second lag time to update my changesI Front page is almost done. I have lots of editing to do for my little 5X5 matrix demo. I am consider ing uploadng a training video have come back to GDI after 3 months away to learn about internet marketing.
Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: Julie E1 on September 24, 2008, 11:29:24 AM I have been working with the new webbuilder for a while now. It's not too bad since I got the hang of it. I had to re-do all the text boxes. Now it seems ot be ok except that the boxes seem to want to jump around. and the pages are too long. can't fix it.

It's very difficult for newbie create a page and can be reason to delete account for newbie. please do something Bye Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: M Perez Cotto on October 21, 2008, 05:06:08 PM Hi Friends:
After working hard with the new site builder, my pages are ok again. My visitors counter went down a bit but I'm working on that. The problem now is that I can not ad the keywords and the page description in the properties section. That's important for the search engines systems. In the hurry for putting my site in good shape again, I let that part for the end and now there is no way to fix it. If they correct this one, they would be my heroes once again. Good day and Good luck! Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: TAlexander on October 21, 2008, 05:08:04 PM I am new here. This is my second week!

There are still bugs that have not been fixed. I can't do anything with mine.Thanks, Tia Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: M Perez Cotto on October 24, 2008, 06:25:37 AM Oh, My God!!! :(
I just opened the site builder to actualize a page and there is a message that said "no record found". What had happened? The site is published, the galery things are there, but there are no pages!!!! Please help! How a thing like that can happen? Please help... that's all I can say. :( Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: A Fairfull on October 25, 2008, 08:32:03 PM Hi everyone,
What is going on with GDI?? This problem with the site builder has been going on for over 2 months now!! I just logged into my site and all I have is a home page with no other records to be found? I spent a very long time creating 10 pages with links and I want them back. I don't agree with paying for a service that is not giving me what I am paying for. I think GDI should refund the last 3 months or at least credit the next 3 months monthly fee or until this problem is sorted out. This is embarrassing, I have all sorts of paid ads on the net and my site is letting me down. Can some one please explain the problem and get back to me because this is a crying shame :( I would appreciate some answers. Thanks Sharon@dcnetwork.ws www.dcnetwork.ws Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: M Perez Cotto on October 27, 2008, 09:52:21 AM Thank You, Thank You, Thank You .... lots of hugs and a bunch of kisses.
The pages are there, everything is where it is supose to be and I am soooooo happy. Love You All. Thanks again ... I'm deeply grateful for your timely help. More hugs and kisses!!! :) Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: Tatjana Prelog on October 30, 2008, 11:03:22 AM OK guys, prepare for the MIRACLE!!!! because this is probably the first time in the history that I'll say something commendable.
GDI solved my problem completely (see few pages back what I've written) and everything is there. Everything is fine except for some HTML tags disturbing the things in appearance, but I'll make a corrections on this in a few days. THANKS GDI SUPPORT FIRST! Then few things which could occur the problems and you don't maybe know them:
Well, what to say. I've seen many better tools for webpages creation, but as I see the things now, support at least tries to save all the problems and I believe when all difficulties and problems will be solved, this will be one of the best SiteBuilders ever. ------------- I also owe some of you an appology. I've got some personal messages regarding new SiteBuilder according to help, but I'm rearly on here lately so I appologize for this. I'm quite familiar with this new SiteBuilder already though so if you have any question you can post it here or PM me. I promise I'll come more regularly on here for the reason of helping you. Have a great day and enjoy it! Tatjana Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: DamonLeGall on November 13, 2008, 09:47:20 AM Ok so all of these isues were posted in August.
It's now November. I don't see any improvements. If there have been, then this is the most non-user friendly site builder I've seen. There should be (yes I am saying there should be) a video tutorial. The help text is misserable small print. Come on GDI, this is a big part of the product!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! were not just pushing a pyramid are we? Have you seen weebly.com ? they have there glitches but 2 words; "user friendly." Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: M Perez Cotto on November 13, 2008, 09:47:41 AM Hi Friends:
I was working this morning, actualizing the site, when suddenly the page disappeared. It goes to some twilight zone and I don't know how to retrieve if from there. The page is the #5 and it also dessapearded from the internet, wich means theres is no page available for my clients, and this page is a jump bridge fos accesing tha vast majority of my website pages. I'm sending you the jpg for you to check on. Thanks for your help and constant attention. Mary Perez Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: P De Thierrry on November 15, 2008, 04:51:14 PM Yes the new intergrated website builder has been a total flop for me, messed up my website, so I decided to use webhosting and upload my own pages. I wouldn't use any other service now.
Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: Michael Christian on November 18, 2008, 03:35:09 AM I read your message Tajana, and could understand the frustrations of what you were going through.
I have only been sighned up for no more than 16 hours. I went into the Web build it, and had no problems. I compleated my first page in matter of min's. For your computer to do it's dancing, is because the Hard drive needs a good clean,to get rid of all your spywear, and viruses! The best thing to do is back up to a external hardrive; but make sure all your files are also clean; prior to tranfer. Then have some one to Format fully your hard drive, and reload windows xp; or what ever system your using. Just load up your programes; if you have not got a external hardrive; then I do strongly recommend purchasing a Lacie it is small, and compact; easy to put in your handbag, or pocket.Very light, and No Electric, all from your pc! Keep all your files on that drive, and keep a minimum programes that you use. you will find your pc won't dance any more! Get a good virus spywear program; that way your pc will remain secure!

Happy Computing Michael Christian ;D Yah, but you obviously didn't read the other (latest) messaged from October 30th where I clearly wrote I've saved the problems, but not I, actually support saved them for me. The problems were not spyware and viruses, because I'm not dummy at computering at all (better not to store all my pages, forums and blogs I own over the whole net because the list would be just too long) and besides my harddrive was totally formated so there could be no viruses and spyware (not yet). But the problem was really in SiteBuilder which crashed all my sites. That I know bacause I've tried to access the pages and SiteBuilder from several (not only my) computers, but the thing was always the same. I've written to support and they obviously managed to restore almost everything (except some HTML codes which are visible now). Also I'm working with so many page builders from Yahoo Geocities or Small business as it's called now to MoonFruit and more and more that I know exactly what I'm talking about and unfortunatelly this one from GDI really (flor now) isn't much user friendly for those who are beginners in these matters. With preloaded gallery in that last message I thought exactly this - preloaded gallery and my gallery is really preloaded because it's 100 % used and there is no space left (lol). I also have one external hard drive with about 160 GB memory what at the momment is just enough, but if you would ask me 300 GB or even 1000 would sometimes be insuficient for me using programs like Poser, Bryce, Flash and what is more of them to do animations and staff. Thank you for advises anyway, but as you see I'm not the one who would be afraid of CPUs and would noly wait what will fly by me to grab. I really had problems in PageBuilder which were not connected with my CPU at all. But what is really true, I have very kind of complicated sites with a lot of photos and such stuff what could be the crashing point in occassions of launching something new after all. All in all, my site is here again with everything what was on it from music to photos and more ... www.tatjanap.ws ... but what is not much there is about business itself. Oh, and by the way: I've just came to the idea when watching my old Photo Tutorial for old PageBuilder (which you still can access clicking on External link (http://cid-971ea593cec1bb8c.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Javno/Phototutorial1.ppt) (for sentimental remembrance of the good old SiteBuilder - lol), to make a kind of video or Power Point tutorial. The only problem is the leak of time, that's all. Maybe one day I'll be able to offer you one, I don't know. With best wishes Tatjana sonček Title: Re: New WebBuilder!!

Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: Chuck Thompson on March 04, 2009, 11:22:47 AM I've noticed lots of headaches coming to grips with the web builder. Since I never used the first one, I can't comment on it. I own over 20 web sites and growing. What attracted me to the GDI op was the Domain hosting, domain registration, better domain name selection, low monthly price and all the other goodies that come along with the site.
The business op is ok. Not much on MLM myself, but I was looking for something for clients who are always looking for ways to save money. Hiring a good web designer and paying all the fees to get a site up that may not ever be seen or used is always an issue for a business. So now I either sell the clients on building their own site for a very reasonable price, or charge them through the roof if I do everything from scratch. (I cost $18,000.00 per 6 months and I control the site no matter what). http://www.thompsontechnologyconsulting.com in case anyone wants to verify my rates. I just finished building 4 pages over the weekend and had to learn all the little tricks to the web builder. On my GDI site, I built a Site Design Help page all the tricks I learned while building the site. I have to do a second page to cover a few more I learned afterward. http://chuckthompson.ws/Homepage this is the site I built on GDI. I'll point out a really cool trick I learned while building this site, you can build a sub site on the site where you can promote different pages as the main page. When you check out my site, look at Global Opportunities and you will see what I mean. I'm going to build an advanced Site Design Help page soon that will teach people how to create an e Commerce site using GDI. Title: Re: New WebBuilder!!

Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: WAlda on August 20, 2009, 12:19:28 PM HI Everyone,
In the last couple of days, I finished my website using the GDI templates and just published it. I thought the website builder was fantastic. I found the help screens to be very informative. After publishing my website I was unsure how it would display on different size computer screens. As soon as it was published I verified how it appeared on my screen, which is a 22 ". I then reviewed it on my small screen laptop, 10.1" and my husband's computer that has an 18" screen. I made minor modifications to the placement of wording for better appearance and re-published the pages that were modified. I am now satisifed with the results. Have a great day! Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: Tatjana Prelog on August 21, 2009, 07:39:02 AM Oooo, yes, I agree. With new version of SiteBuilder and new templates I'm happy as never before. I still have problems with those HTML that remained on my pages, but I'll probably take some time to remove the things in the future though.
I love new templates - some of them being animated. I hope there will be more of them in the future. Umm ... and about the promissed tutorial ... it's still not in any progress. Make the day have 48 or more hours and then I'll be (maybe) able to do some. Enjoy site building and have fun! Title: Re: New WebBuilder!! Post by: TimOliver on August 25, 2009, 04:31:51 AM I haven't really played around with the newest site builder and it's templates yet. The web builder has changed a lot in the last 2 years. It use to be like front page or dreamweaver. Don't get me wrong, I like the templates. They are a great help, but I really miss all the HTML access when I got started, like the head section. Some sites want me to prove my web site is my site by adding a line to my head section. I don't suppose there is a way to merge the two site builders or give an option to which route to take.
Is there anyway to modify the templates? There is one template with picture frames containing photos. Changing the stock photos with your own would be really cool! It also make the template more personal and versatile. Overall, I'm really impressed with how much the web builder has improved! It is definitely user friendly to people who are use to the social site users. I'm also impressed with GDI's desire to improve the product. Title: Re: New WebBuilder!!

1) Tried adding some Java Script to my site (such as the Kontera code as well as ad code from Link Referral), but the java script code did not seem to load 2) The spacing on site builder editor is decieving (especially when you load the published page on your browser) 3) When I tried adding the guestbook plug in to one of my pages below a text box I had, it got mixed in with the text on the published page. Another suggestion: There ought to be an easier way to add Google, Bing and Yahoo verification code to your site (for the sake of search engine optimization). Title: Re: New WebBuilder!!
