Global Domains International

Hi all,

Only a very new member and wondering if site builder is available for use while i am still in the trial period.
I dont appear to have the correct password to access this feature. Can anyone update me on this?

Thanks
Wayne

Yes it should be available. Your passwords should not change.

If you are unable to login, the problem may will be in the cookies or your cache.

Please clear your system cache if the problem persists.
This is good practice in any event and needs to be done once a month at least.
In Internet explorer click on Tools -> Internet Options -> General Tab -> Temporary Internet Files -> Delete Files
In Firefox click on Tools->Options->Cache Tab->Clear Cache Now

Please also clear your cookies.
This is also good practice and needs to be done once a month at least
In Internet explorer click on Tools -> Internet Options -> General Tab -> Temporary Internet Files -> Delete Cookies
In Firefox click on Tools->Options->Cookies Tab->Clear Cookies Now

Thanks Rod,

Tried all this and all the other usual problems such as caps lock on or off and so on, but I keep getting "login information is incorrect" message.

The only password I have is the member login one. is this the one that is supposed to work with sitebuilder login or is there something else again?

Cheers
Wayne

Hi Wayne, Once you are logged into your main GDI account, are you going down the left side menu and clicking on your domain name? This is how you can get into your site builder, that's if you haven't already tried it..Hope this helps
All the Best Dave

Just wondering if there are any video for the sitebuilder, that help show you what to do.
 Thanks

Hi Michael - no sorry none that I know of.
The most comprehensive instructions I know of are at:-
http://www.gdi-made-easy.ws/SiteBuilder.html

I messed up on building my site and deleted my frist page and I dont know how to make page 2 page 1. It still says page 2 and right now it's my only page. Can someone tell me how to fix this.

From memory you should be able to logout and login again and then add a page from the site builder. I am unable to check where I am at the moment.

hi

i have just joined and have set up the website to advertise my own business. but now i want to add the info about this website, and add the video.

how do i do this?

thanks

Hi K Bell, 
 
My name is Jean Michel French speaker and newbie, and I wanna to try to help you, so first if you want to add video on your website. 
 
1- You have to Upload the file to your Gallery in your SITE-BUILDER 
2-  Then in your page editor [edit your page where you want add it] 
3 - Insert it FROM your Gallery, [submit] That's it! 
 
I hope you understand my explanations. 
Good luck. 
Jean Michel

Hello

My current .ws site wasn't created with Site Builder so I thought I'd better have a go with it so that I could answer any queries from my team. I also thought it would be easy as I have been creating web sites in Dreamweaver for many years. Most of it is pretty straightforward, if not a bit clumsy and restrictive. But my problem is that I have been almost 2 hours trying to get the context blocks closer together instead of the huge unreasonable gap I am left with.

I have checked the forum and noticed that this topic has been raised before but no satisfactory answer was given. 

Does anyone know how to get the context blocks closer to the the previous block without looking as though several line spaces have deliberately been created between them?  Am I doing something wrong or is it just an undesirable feature of the software?

Marta

The fastest way is to edit the actual HTML. This is generally caused by blank header and footer blocks.
Look for <span class="content_header"></span> and or <span class="content_footer"></span>

Okay this seems like a silly question, but how do you change order of the pages in your website builder?  I thought this was possible, but today cannot figure it out.  Please help!  Thank you for responding!

how do i change  the page names in my web site? they both say page 2

The simplest way to change the order of your pages is to cut and paste the pages in the HTML form of the site builder.

In the site buider editor main page click the properties of the page you want to change.

Hi my name is Ivan Vanegas. My domain is www.dominiosglobales.ws

http://www.dominiosglobales.ws/webdesign.html

Thanks Ivan for making the video tutorial! I have some Spanish friends who are looking for that, finally I can send them your link.  :D
I have uploaded my GDI sitebuilder video tutorials (in English) to youtube, also included 3 of them on my GDI webpage, they are:

  hello, i have just started a site here and i cant get it to be indexed by google.com this is the first search engine i have tried so
 i want to get it to work before i try any others or get to crazy about making the site pretty..

  here is the problem, they ask you to add a meta tag to your html in between the head and the body, i thought i was doing just
 that butt every time i try to verify it with google.com there automated system tells me i put it in the wrong spot. i even tried
 putting it on every other line and it is still not verified, what am i doing wrong????? i copied and pasted it. i now for sure it is
 exactly as they show it..


  hum???  remember i am completely new at this

  jeremiah

Meta tags will not really help you. The tag goes between the two <head></head> tags in the top of the page

Hi,

I hope I'm in the right area. I couldnt find a place for a new thread.

Anyway, my website is http://theamericanway.ws.

Near the top of my site I have the words,  Click Here! Join our privacy club now. Click Here!

Then there is a rather large space and the words thatbegin the next paragraph, "I highly recocommend...."

My problem is I don't know how to reduce that rather large space between the two areas.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

I've tried to figure it out, but I can't seem to understand how to use the plug-in-editor.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

I am trying to determine whether to us the website builder or the hosting option?  Can I set up a download link for a digital product using the website builder?  I need to upload an ebook and be able to put a link where people can download it on a page.  If not can it be done with the hosting option if I design the page in dreamweaver?  Do either the the site builder or the hosting option have cpanel?  Thanks for any help you can give me.

If you store the book on your site you need the hosting option.

I am new and having trouble editing my page. When I go to the top of my webpage after I am
in the editing mode I can't click on the icons at the top of my page to make changes. It just
highlights the icon and won't let me click on it.

Thanks, Jill

Jill - I am a bit confused - where in the site editor are you working?

Hello everyone, I am new here, and I was looking through everyone's website and I noticed that a few people have really nice GDI sites..

www.giftsunlimied.ws
www.achieveprosperity.ws


Is there a template or somthing that I can use to get my  site to look like these?  I dont see this being done with the regular site builder.

Any info would get greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,

Those sites are using a GDI Template.

http://website.ws/kvmlm2/ws.dhtml?sponsor=username&template=1
http://website.ws/kvmlm2/ws.dhtml?sponsor=username&template=2
http://website.ws/kvmlm2/ws.dhtml?sponsor=username&template=3
http://website.ws/kvmlm2/ws.dhtml?sponsor=username&template=4
http://website.ws/kvmlm2/ws.dhtml?sponsor=username&template=5

Nicole

Thanks Nicole, now my next question is how do I upload these templates into my site, so when people go to my site, that page shows up, but my site name is still in the address bar?

Log into www.website.ws/members

Click on the Domains tab

Click on DNS Setting

Post the URL of the template you wish to use in the box thats says Web Forwarding To:

Don't forget to include your username in the URL where it says sponsor=username

Click Update

Nicole

Thanks again Nicole, I had to change the site settings from using site builder, to forward site and email.  Now my questions is this, (i know I ask a lot of questions)  can I have my site forwarded to the GDI template but still use my XXXX@sitenmae.ws email address??  I tried and it wanted me to forward my email to another host, it said that I cannot fwd email to the same location?

Also, I noticed that when I got to my page the template is updated, but the web address in the address bar is not my site, it is the link to the template I fwd'd it to.

How do I fix that, when people go to my site, I would like for my domain name to stay in the address bar.

Somebody help me out.. Lol! I'm just kidding... kinda ;D

Try this:

<html><head><title>WEBSITE.WS - Your Internet Address For Life&trade;</title></head>
<frameset rows="100%,*" border="0" frameborder="0">
<frame src="http://website.ws/kvmlm2/ws.dhtml?domain=www.YourDomain.ws" name="blade-2-1.worldsite.ws" scrolling="auto">
</frameset></html>

I really don't think GDI intended for us to use these templates; however, members are using them anyway because they are eye-catching and nice.

You can still use your .WS e-mail; however, all e-mails will be forwarded to the e-mail address you specify when using the URL forwarding.

Am using a PowerMac G4 with Firefox2 and am not able to change the sequence of pages in SiteBuilder.

What can I do?

Also having problems uploading jpg files. Some do; some don't. What do I need to know?

Has anyone seen the international flags that are common when taking a marketing plan global?  Where do I find these to direct my downline too? He is international and taking it globally.

G'Day from the West Coast of Australia. I'm new here and have just started building my site. Can anyone tell me if it's possible to move/shift images once they are downloaded onto a Page. I d/loaded an image on Page 1 and it landed on the right side of the page, I want to move it to another location on the same page, is that possible? any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks

Errol

Yes its entirely possible using the align attribute top|middle|bottom|left|right
See http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/special/img.html

just wondering how do i put a link on my website ..i wanted the one with the car taking off...and the intro movie..


                        thanx for the help.....scott

Hi guys, I'm new in this too! Guessed my 'transforme.ws' domain name is still not able to be directed. Keeps on prompting me error when i click on it in members area? Hmmm.... I guessed the other links <5 of them> are all working well. Could it be this problem that I'm still not making any $$?
 We do not need to use the site buildre if we do not want to add anything to the already 'pre-build' website right? Thks.

I didn't know where these were! I'm glad I found the template landing page url although I'll only be using the one with the nice family!

are there any others that are more down to earth... and not based on fast cars or bikini clad women?

How about something for the babyboomer generation that is about to retire or those who have retired and so it doesn't make it sound like they'll be in the money overnite?

just an idea!

Hi everyone,
I only signed up to GDI yesterday, and as promised got a website.  Do I have to edit this site to make it my own? And if so how do i edit this site and add banners?  Or is it better to just promote this site they provided to make money?  Any hints of what has worked for you would be very helpful!! thanks!

use the gdi templates.   http://website.ws/kvmlm2/ws.dhtml?sponsor= insert your user name plus template=1or2or3or4or5
 Just like my site [url]http://www.website.ws/kvmlm2/ws.dhtml?sponsor=dragonrein&template=1                   Place 1or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 at the end of template=
   I hope the helps make sure you change domain foewarding to you site .Eric

I just started building my web page a few days ago. I am very annoyed at the lack of content I can get on a page. It's something like 4000 html characters max to a content block. That's fine, but to get any amount of decent content on your page you need to have several content blocks. Now, when i create a content block it just plonks it randomly on the page - always where I don't want it. You can't move them and you can't designate where you want them. so building a page is almost impossible.

Another thing is, sometimes when i create my webpage and i have everything how i want it, i press save and it goes to the preview page. Everything is all over the place and not how it was when i saved it.

It really does seem impossible to build web page. Unless i'm doing it all wrong of course.

Can anyone help me please?? :D

Hey I just signed up and I a bit confused .  Where do iI go to begin building a website?

Hi everyone,

  I am not familiar with Common Gateway Interface so I have searched and could find no information as to if it can be used in GDI website builder! Before completely saying no I thought I would ask here! Thanks your help is truly appreciated!

                                                                        Regards,
                                                                          Michelle
                                                         ( Striving to be a winner )

I have been with GDI for almost 3 months and I am in the process of putting my GDI site together.

I have sent a support ticket to my question while I wait for a reply, could I get a different way to solve this problem here.

My question is if you made a mistake with your page 1 not with the template but with the layout can it be removed? as I have tried in properties to change the layout even though I can do it there. I am not getting the required results. What I would like to do is have an image top left hand corner with the Text header along side of that, followed by a couple of bullet points under the header and a few more underneath the image to the left hand side of the table or page.

please feel free anyone to add any ideas that they know of and works


Have a wonderful day

Hi,

I appreciate Marta's question as I have the exact same problem.  Your answer has not helped me, though, Rob, as I do not know much about HTML. I  went edit, under the balnk sapce, and clicked HTML code, but I couldn't see anything about <span class="content_header"></span> and or <span class="content_footer"></span>

I even copied and pasted  the last part : <span class="content_footer"></span> into the bottom of that content block....but when I previewed it, it still has a huge blank space.

Please could I have more specific instructions?

Thank You,

Annette Ribaux.

Okay. I'm new in all this. Question: How can I make my site look like one of this: http://website.ws/kvmlm2/ws.dhtml?sponsor=username&template=2
I kown that I have to put my username on the link, and then reedirect it, but when I do, it appears the whole url extension.

How can I reedirect it without having the url extension ?

I found this, but I don't understand where to paste it (don't know if it works either):
<html><head><title>WEBSITE.WS - Your Internet Address For Life&trade;</title></head>
<frameset rows="100%,*" border="0" frameborder="0">
<frame src="http://website.ws/kvmlm2/ws.dhtml?domain=www.YourDomain.ws" name="blade-2-1.worldsite.ws" scrolling="auto">
</frameset></html>


Do I have to

I think that should be an option for those who do not want to hid behind email..... I personally would not sign up to an anymous websiite. As it happened, I knew my enroller. If it's not possible than that should be changed......

========
========
Wes,
I'm not sure exactly what other pages you are referring to but if it's in regard to your website, you can put your phone number in your webpages by using the "Additional Properties tab" in the page editor of the Sitebuilder for each page that you want to add your number to. Hope this helps.

If you're referring to GDI'S pages, I DON'T THINK YOU CAN BUT YOU MIGHT TRY THROWING THAT BY "SUPPORT".

Have a Great Day!

How do you start all over when you are bulding your web page?

In the website builder there is a delete option??

Hello forum
  Does anyone know if a password to login into certain areas can be added to the .ws sites using the sitebuilder software that comes with it?

Hi,

Yes This is possible. You would have to do it with javascript - try http://javascript.internet.com/passwords/

    At present using the website builder.... would like to add URL links to my other websites...so when I ckick on a URL it goes there
typing the URL  does not work,  only if you copy n paste into browzer....thank you... Craig

so  how can you tell how much space is left  or whats been used up in our websites , ... how much can the gallery hold
thank you

In HTML mode click the icon on the toolbar that looks like a chain link

Hi :) See http://talk.ws/index.php?topic=8377.0

Hi Grant,

If you insert the image onto your page, then either click "Image Properties" on the Toolbar or Right Click over Picture with mouse and then click "Image Properties". You can play around with the Text Flow in there, Your looking for a Left Flow.

Best wishes
Simon

 ok I"ve read and done what help files say ...click html icon> just type in the full correct URL > click submit ... also tryed with /without the present code in place. .....is there a correct position in the code ????

You have to click the "Insert HTML code to greater display your text, insert a banner, or other html effects" to get to the HTML page.

PLEASE HELP.

A lot of you seem to have trouble with the large space between content blocks on your web pages. (I WISH).   :'( 
My web page is more like a post card. When i try to ADD CONTENT, i can (WOW) as long as the new content  block sits right on top of the previous content.
As you can see, The space that others moan about, I crave.   :-\
Can anyone PLEASE tell me how to obtain this miraculous space that i hear about

Hi All,

Am wondering if anybody can tell me why? when i design my web page and try to add a new content block, The new contents always over lap the original content instead of following it. This means that i have to limit my page to 4000 characters. Not really enough to get any info on.

My Hits to convert ratio stinks, Over 65 hits last period and no sign ups. Is that normal.

Glad to be a member of GDI, You all seem GREAT

...Howdy  all Craig S ... just had a problem loading ... URLs .... well thanks to RobB ... 
 lol it was the browser I was using .
..sad to say ...Opera 9.0...9.5  also .... does not work in website editing 
but .....firefox does ....and IE does

Thank you ... GDI rocks

don't know about 4000 characters ..... driving more ppl to your website  is a good start
it takes time ...if ya type in (craigs sandwich) on google  I come up 2nd n 3rd  from top
 so 1one way is find a nich on the internet search... to get top 10 rating on page
developing  even more hits and sales ..is a great plan

GDI rocks.......have fun n enjoy

Hi Craige,

Thanks for that. I like how you have put the personal touch to the sandwich by actually starting to eat it. Very unique.
I could do with knowing how you got your site on google search, as i want to do that myself. would you be able to PM me the directions

Many thanks and Nice Dog.     :)

I was wondering if I downloaded a free template like the ones you can use in www.oswd.org , if I could deisgn my webpage there and then upload it or host it with GDI?  I'm not particularly fond of the templates GDI provides.

I know you can programs like dreamweaver, and frontpage.....but those are all html editors, and I haven't found a post yet talking about people being able to just use a template that they downloaded from online.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Lanelle

Hi All,

I have been trying to update my site, (I am using the hosting option) and would like to know how long it takes AFTER the update for it to take effect.

The file transfer went good with no errors.  I thought it would be fairly immediate but does not seem to be the case.

Thank you for any comments...

Dan

It should take no longer than 24 hours if recall correctly.

Dan ,

I think you need to put a ? at the end of your url to make your isp update your files.

so if you were wanting to get an updated copy of http://www.website.ws then you

would type http://www.website.ws?

this is a common problem as your pc and your isp's servers will give you the cached

option for any webpage you ask for as its quicker and uses less bandwidth than going and getting

a fresh copy every time you ask

AlanJChapman

Hi Dan

The Update had probably already taken effect, Try Refreshing your Browser or going into Tools and Internet Options in your Browser and Deleting the Temporary Internet Files.
Your browser may not check for up website updates every time you view a website, therefore you will be seeing the same as the last time you viewed it, (as is in your Temporary Internet Files)

hope this helps
Simon

hi .. i would like know about how to save (upload) the docmt save as webpage in editor page...
can do so? how 2 create webside as simple ...
tq

Hello out there. I am Eric Estrada Sr. and I am fairly new to GDI. At first the GDI web page I had the Presentatios ferrari close to the top of the page. Now it is all the way down on the bottom after ALOT of testimonials. Most people going to my web site do not go down that far to view the presentation now. Can I bring the presentation back up ccloser to the top? I am not very good at creating web pages. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Hi There,  I find the best way to it is,  In your Editor Page of SiteBuilder,  Click on the HTML tab,  don't worry if you don't under stand any of the HTML.   Just Highlight and Copy all of it and then Paste it into a new Windows Notebook Document.  then Save it using the file name "index.html".

Its good to save all your pages so you have them backed up.

If you want to use the GDI Hosting Service, and upload your own website that you made using a another program.  you will need an "FTP Program".  Just search for a Free FTP Program, there are plenty available on the internet.

Best wishes
Simon

 I am so frustrated!!!!! I can't get my page to publish or preview. I'm upset there isn't any online chat support. Okay maybe one of you can help me. I clicked on site builder and was able to get to the document area to type in the info for my page. When i was done I clicked submit which took me to a login page  and my websitge still wasn't published. Let me add that I clicked the publish button. I am not building this site just for GDS but for my other business and I wanted to put my GDI link on the page. This sucks and i'm pissed. I have been on this since 6:30 and now it's 9:37, i've sent 2 emails to GDS. SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO STEP BY STEP!!!! The reason I joined GDS is for the website the biz opportunity was the icing on the cake. Can somebody help me,
thanks : :(

Hi,

Sounds to me like you timed out and the info in your edit block was lost.

Hopefully, you have a copy of the text and you will be able to paste it back into an edit block and click submit.

You can add and submit more edit blocks as required. Click 'publish all', and you should be able to see your page in the preview or on the website.  Make sure you have selected that the page be visible.

I've lost info because of the system timing out - it's very frustrating! As a rule, I write the text in notepad or word first and then paste it into sitebuilder - much safer.

Sandra

I've built the basics of my site using the site builder.  Now I'm trying to verify my site with google and it says I need to do one of two things.  Either 1) Add a Meta Tag in the specific place they say as follows:

We couldn't find the verification meta tag in the HEAD section of your site's home page. If you see this error, check the following:

That you've placed the meta tag on the correct page. We look for it on your site's home page. This is the page that your server returns when someone requests your site (such as http://www.example.com/). This page is often named index.html or index.htm, but could be named differently, depending on your server's configuration.
That you've placed the meta tag in the correct place on the page. We look for it in the page's HEAD section. An example of correct placement is shown below.


<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Your Title</TITLE>
<META name="verify-v1" content="String_we_ask_for">
</HEAD>
<BODY>

 


or 2) I can upload an HTML file the way they say as follows:


To verify your site by uploading an HTML file:

Sign into Google webmaster tools with your Google Account.
Click Verify next to the site you want.
In the Choose verification method list, select Upload an HTML file, and follow the steps on your screen.
Using any text editor, create the file that we ask for and make sure to save it with the exact name we ask for (for example, google11e5844324b7354e.html). The filename is case-sensitive and must have an ".html" extension. The file itself can be empty - we don't read the content of the file, but only check to see that it exists in the specified location. Upload the file to your webserver to the location we specify. Generally, this is the root folder for your site.
Once you have uploaded the file, click Verify button. We will verify that the file exists in the specified location. If we can't access the file, we'll give you information about the error we encountered. Once this problem is resolved, try to verify your site again.

I tried this and got an error message as follows:


We've detected that your server returns a status of 200 (found successfully) for pages that don't exist.



We've detected that your server returns a status of 200 (found successfully) for pages that don't exist. We can't verify sites with this configuration because it would enable anyone to verify ownership of your site. You can try our meta tag verification method or change your server's configuration.

This configuration presents a security risk for site verification and therefore, we can't verify your site. If your web server is configured to return a status of 200 (found) in the header of 404 (not found) pages, and we enabled you to verify your site with this configuration, others would be able to take advantage of this and verify your site as well. To ensure that no one can take advantage of this configuration to view statistics to sites they don't own, we only verify sites that return a status of 404 in the header of 404 pages.

If your server is configured to return something other than a 404 for non-existent pages, try our meta tag verification method or change your server's configuration.

You can change your web server configuration to return a status of 404 in the header of 404 pages and still provide a custom error page (see Apache information and IIS information). Note that we do a HEAD request (and not a GET request) when we check for this. Once your web server is configured correctly, try to verify the site again and we'll recheck your configuration

I am now completely lost and confused as I am new to website ANYTHING and thought I was doing good to figure out how to use the site builder.  Can anyone help me?  Is this possible to fix and have google verify the website while still using site builder? or do I have to start from scratch and use GDI hosting and try to figure out how to build my own website with some kind of software?http://

Hello All,

I'm new here and started building my website today.  I wrote a page and then pushed the "submit" button at the bottom of the page but I can't find the page content anywhere.  When I hit the preview button (and any other button) all I get is a blank template with the "replace this with yours" blurb...Where did my content go?!  Please help! :'(

Hi Sally You need to select publish before the pages go live.

Hi,

I'm trying to use the sitebuilder and I can't get the second content block to line up under the first one.
When I hit "insert" it shows up to the right of my existing content. How do I get it to show up BELOW
the first content?

This is absolutely driving me nuts. I've been at it for over an hour.

Please help!!!

Thanks!!!!!!!!!

To have the content block right below an existing block, choose the "single column" layout in the page properties setting.
You can take a look at my video tutorials here on how to use the sitebuilder
http://www.bestgditeam.ws/page6.html

 

Hello,

I don't know if it's possible but...  I would like to know if it's possible to reset completely SiteBuilder.  When you enter SiteBuilder the first time, you have the choice of the template that you can use to build your website.  My problem is that I want to make a video tutorial showing how to begin with SiteBuilder but, as I already logged in SiteBuilder, I don't have these choices of template.  How can I remove everything from SiteBuilder to be able to log in as it's the first time?

Thank you!

Olivier

If I recall correctly, you can't   :(
What I did was to change my dns setting to basic hosting, waited for 24-48 hours for it to be activated, then change it back to sitebuilder option.
When you do this, all the pages that you have created before the changeover will be erased.
So make sure you copy the html pages before you change the dns.

Here are the steps to change dns:
At GDI member area, go to "domains" on the left menu.
Click on "Change DNS" --> select "basic hosting" radio button.

Hope that helps. Let me know if you have difficulty.

Thank you very much!  That's exactly what I did but I didn't wait 48 hours so when I returned to SiteBuilder, the page 1 was still there.

I would like to use the basic hosting option during this 48 hours but my pages are in .php.  Do you know if the Basic hosting support PHP?

Thanks again!

Olivier

Yes the basic hosting supports PHP

I get the feeling I'm going to have to make up my own site and just use GDI for hosting.  The reason is that I cannot get the site I have created with the site builder verified by Google.  I have tried the Meta Tag way, and it doesn't work.  I even deleted all my keywords and just put in the metatag that they said to put, and it didn't work either.  They want it placed in the first head section before the first body section. 

The only other way to verify is by uploading an html file titled with a title they specify  that didn't work either.

Dont know what to do.  Any suggestions?

My website has a form on it. I need a code to protect my GDI site because spammers have been lifting my info and spamming. On top of that, I DO NOT have my guest book visible on my site because they are known havens for spammers. Spammers somehow are getting a link to an apparent guestbook from my site, even though I am not using one. Is there anyway at all that we can totally get rid of that problem?

We need more protection from you, can you please tell us what to do, and no, I am not going to shell out money for a product that may not work with the GDI site builder, besides, I have lost time and money because of what's going on. OUR reputation is at stake if these spammers keep doing this to me and all GDI members.

I had to get rid of pages because of this, along with email addresses that were very important to my business. And NO, I did not have those visible either!

I want the guest book and feedback options gone from my site!!

Please Help!!!!

 Hello everyone. I have a blog that I'm trying to get hosted. I have have  the ws hosting feature, but don't know how to use it. I did recieve a email with some information about about ftp.hosting.ws and my user name password, I even downloaded a ftp client so I could transfer my blog, but I have no clue how to do that ???. If anyone is understands  this sort of thing could you please  walk me through the process.

Thank you

Hi Julie,

I have created some video tutorials on creating website with your GDI.
You can view some here:
http://www.bestgditeam.ws/page6.html

One of my tutorials is on setting up hosting with GDI.

May I know what FTP client are you using?
Open the FTP and key in the information that you received in the email about ftp username and password.
Then transfer the blog file from your computer to GDI server.

Hi Julie
ok, just check a couple of things,  You already have your site/blog build and now you just need to host it on the GDI Hosting Service?  Which ftp client are you using?

It is really easy to do, let me know when you get a chance and i'll be happy to run you through the process.

Best Wishes
Simon

 ::) this for marta bloom. i still dont think your question has been answered. I need to know the same thing about the spaces between items on my page.ive emailed about this. no response. does anyone have the answer thanks for your help..richard ohl

I know how to use php but I don't know how to apply it here... Can anyone help me? thank you...

I found so many websites that I am making a contract with them to pay over $250 per year to my unlimited hosting.
I applied for GDI hoping to get the same things, as I am website developer and I think most of our member want this much more than the tutorial forum.

I mean the example to prove their development else than blogger and more to e-commerce way, and GDI make some profit or another referal programs to their payment gateway such as those fore credit card.

But I really like the supportive team, so I think GDI should be only the training arena since you have no DNS provider or reselling practices.

Pratana Yamasmith Srichannon

And I like your webboard!!
I have so several CMS development tools if you'd like to share.

Hi. I have built my first page of my site, named the site and want to continue to build it, but I cannot even get the site to appear. Whenever I click the link that has my site name, it takes me directly to my GDI site. >:( This is not the purpose of my site. My site is advertising my writing and the only thing appearing is the GDI advertisement/link for my account. Yet, I just got an email saying my site was up. ??? I don't get this. How do I get my site to appear online? Thanks.

You need to publish the site. There is a tick box to this on the front page of the site builder.

I have the Guestbook link in my page-wb

but i am not getting any massages

can any body explain me how this work?

Thank you :(

The easiest way is to test it yourself or get a friend to test it. Then you know it is working.

Yes is working thank you Rod :D :D :D

Why can't I get my Google AdSense button to appear on my website? When I hit 'preview' I see only code.
I would appreciate any help with this. The same is true for banners, etc. Thank You Kindly!

hi to all
I'm fabio from italy
A question for you.
how can i hide a page of my site?
Because when i hide a page, if i get  the address of the page in the browser, i look the standard WS page and not my hide page.
Why?

If my hide page is http://www.onelife-liveit.ws/GDI  and copy and paste this address in the browser, it's redirect me to www.website.ws/myusername.

There is a method?
thanks

The url of my website is http://mightyaphrodite.ws

HOWEVER, when I go to my Hit Logs area in the back office, I see that it says the hits are registered for MY AFFILIATE URL of http://website.ws/mightyaphrodite

This is different from my actual website and I'm wondering what the heck this second link is and why I have it.  ???

Can someone clear this confusion up for me and HOW do I go about getting hits registered for my actual site link?? THAT is the web address I'm posting in all my ads!!  :o

i would like the first thing that visitors to my site see is the 3 min clip  of the  red car speeding off and the  young lady and the gentleman  introducing them to GDI.   how do i do this???  :-[

Sorry i need help!I'm a new member of GDi from Italy!I need help  tod o my website becouse is always writes in englishHaw you got something that i can use to built my site simply?answer my please

I'm using typeitin.com to post ads on Craigslist. There is a hyperlink that is suppose to be inserted but I'm not familiar with hyperlinks so therefore I do not know what goes in this place.

i build my website with bluevoda websitebuilder but  i cant publish it . :'( :'( :'(

For some reason my template won't work for my website.  I've re-uploaded it more than twice, but I can't figure out why the server won't acknowledge it.  Does anyone know if there's a specific folder name(besides templates) or a specific directory I need to have it in?

If I create a page or more of information in power point, How do I get this page on the site? And if I do will it be full screen or some smaller version of what I created.
Also, I have a voice message option available for web sites. Can I add this to my Global site?
Kirk from Canada

Every time I try the   GDI made easy link... it shows   website unavailable...   I brought it up last week and it was awesome info.. anyone know what is wrong with the access to this site???????

Hello, I wanted to know if there was a way that i could upload a different template then what is offered?! None of them fit the need for what i want to do. I have one picked out but i was'nt sure how i would go about putting it on. I am a new member still trying to figure all of this out!  ???

I am not sure if you can change the template using Sitebuilder.  But if you choose the hosting option from you member's area, you can upload the template via FTP program or software.  Doing so, you will need to understand a little html and the FTP process. 

If that is the direction you choose to go, I recommend that you search for a WYSIWYG/HTML editor to create your website.  You may have one installed on your PC...Microsoft Frontpage for example.  If not, go to Google and conduct a search for a free HTML editor.  There will be a learning process you will have to go through.

Maybe someone else out there in GDI land has a better solution than what I provided to you...I wish you luck and success.

Frank

Dear friends,

I find this message error !

You exceeded the maximum character limit for this content block. A single content block may contain a maximum of 4000 characters. This includes spaces as well as any invisible underlying code; like HTML for example. You must reduce the number of characters in this content block before saving.

Please Note: You may have an unlimited number of content blocks on a page. Putting each paragraph of text in it's own content block will help keep you from reaching the 4000-character limit, and also make it easier to edit your page.

What is content block ? How can I solve this error ?

Can someone clarify this :Putting each paragraph of text in it's own content block will help keep you from reaching the 4000-character limit ?

Thank you.

Santoso.

Hi there! I've been trying to design my website but I am not that kind of savy.  I just want to ask how to design a signup form using Microsoft Frontpage and how can I view the results of information that the form collects.  Thanks and more power to fellow GDI affiliates.

And an advance Happy New Year to everyone.

Michael,

I don't think that GDI Hosting supports FrontPage, though someone else may want to confirm this.

I have loaded a flash file from my gallery to my website. 

The problem is that the blank area around the flash player moves the player off the screen to the right.

I have tried to put content blocks but nothing has worked.  Does anyone know how to get the player to the left and narrow the blank area around it so the entire page shows on one screen with no horizontal scroll bar?

Thanks

Hey everyone =) I'm new to this business and I'm working on building my website. This probably sounds like a very newbie question but I have to ask it.  How do you edit the template or the information on the template of a website?? Please let me know. Thanks to all who reply!

Hello,

I'm in need of some serious help...

Trying to build my site but do not know how to

        1)take a banner code any code and place it on the site page

        2)Unpublish is this possible?  My website has the codes just sitting on the pages!! :'(
   
It can't be this difficult....I've been trying to get this together basically by myself....just found out about www.gdi-made-easy.ws!!  This may have helped when I signed up... ???
 ???   ???   ???   ???

hi everyone! as we know, every time you create a new page, it's title page will be displayed on the upper area of the page to serve as a link. my question is, how can we make a LINK of a new published page that is not visible on the upper area? example, if i make  a new page and its link is www.website.ws/test, there is an option to make it visible right? if you opted so, the TEST name will appear on the upper area of the site as a shortcut. and every time you type the address or link on the address bar it redirects to that page. BUT, if you choose for it not to be visible, you can't even access its link (when you type the link to the address bar). IN SHORT, can we make the link accessible to surfers even if it's NOT VISIBLE on the upper area of the site. it's like a hidden page. of course not all of the pages I made for the site will be displayed on the upper portion of the site. CAN ANYBODY HELP ME?

Thanks! :)

hi everyone! have a question.. every time you create a new page, you have an option to make it visible or not right? if you choose visible, its title is displayed on the top portion of the site as shortcuts/links. I'm trying to create web pages that will serve as links (not displayed on top), but if the pages are invisible, you can't even add the link since every time you access invisible pages (typing it on the address bar directly), it redirects to www.website.ws!

for example, i created a page which is www.mysite.ws/test (invisible), then on my home page I made a link to that new page, and when you click the link, it goes to www.website.ws/myusername!  I don't want all of my pages displayed on the top portion! does anybody here knows how to fix this? Thanks! :)

Hi Phillip Elliot,

As far as I know, you can't actually access the invisible page. To the site builder, the invisible page does not exist.
Why not try to use an external html editor like micorsoft frontpage, dreamweaver or the free NVU to create your webpages?

NVU is an excellent web builder and its open sourced. You can get NVU free here:
http://nvudev.com/index.php

After creating the page, choose the hosting option in your GDI domain back office.
Then upload using an FTP (FileZilla is free http://filezilla-project.org/ )
This way you are not restricted to the GDI sitebuilder templates.

If you need video tutorials on that. please send me a PM.

Cheers

  ??? I'm very new and I just can't seem to get the site builder to build my site.  Is there something I'm doing wrong? I just can't figure it out to save my life. Please, please, please I need help.

I am having such a hard time trying to figure out how to get the 50 minute video on my new website.  I a 57 year old self taught computer user and I am new to GDI.  I am trying to teach myself step by step how to make GDI work for me and how to build my website.  I am following the instructions of someone from this Forum that has GDI Made Easy.  I really want this business to work for me because I have MS and I want to have money for the future.  Since I am not extremely familiar with some computer terminology, I am struggling trying to get some of the 'inserts' or downloads to work. I got the 7 minute video to work, but I can't figure out how to do it again for the 50 minute one ::)  I keep downloading, copying and pasting and I just can't get it to work.  I would like to get a small 'income calculator' and 'sign up now' icon to show, but can't find it.  Can someone please help??
Beverly

I finally got the Income Calculator inserted on my main web page, but when I click on it, it says 'not found'.  How can I make this work, in layman terms ;D
Thanks all,
Bshelley

I have a question about the sitebuilder as well. Uh, it says, "This editor requires Internet Explorer 5.0+, Netscape 7.1+, Mozilla 1.4+, or an equivalent Gecko based browser. A regular textarea will be displayed instead." I have a Mac with Safari, am I screwed? thanks

The introduction mobie is very magic,but how can i add it to my own website?thanks.

hello. i've create my first page but the link i've posted is wrong. how can i change it? someone can help me?
thanks a lot
Luca  ???

Rob, I tried to upload the link via web browser, it did not unload, said site may not be available.

If it is temporarly down, is their any other way I could get the information, I can provide my email address.

Thank you for information

Paul

Does anyone know how i would insert my affiliate links. Like if i wanted to promote my power mall how would i insert my mall link so when i click on the link for that page it would take me to my online mall

I have no idea what happened!!  I finally taught myself how to work with the site builder and after I published all of my pictures, most of them stopped showing!!!  They were showing at first, what happened??  I had even sent my new website to friends to ask what they thought, they were showing at that time.  Is there a limit of the amount of pictures that will fit on a page?  I think I saw something that said 'error 28' can't remember. 

I need help.  I have tried to contact upline and others about questions, with no response.  I still can't make some of the movies and the income calculator load.  I got one 7 minute movie and a banner to load.  I need help.  I am really wanting this to work.

Thanks for any help!

I really need your help.

I am a newbie here. 

I tried to build a site using site builder and completely messed it up.

I tried to create my site using an HTML editor of my own, then put it into site builder.
It kept telling my I could copy only 4000 bytes at a time, so I had to copy and paste, copy and paste, copy and paste...you get the idea.  Did I do something wrong?

Anyway, I want to use the pre-built page 
http://website.ws/kvmlm2/preflash.dhtml?sponsor=yourusernamehere
as my site page, but can't figure that out either.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Clay B.

 ??? how do I move things around on page editor, I can get things on there but don't know how to move them where I want them please help.

Did you solve this? Where do you want to move them to? Any text or images can be moved by first highlighting them and then choosing the option of Aligning them left, center or right..or justify..these options are found at the top of the editor (Edit Content)
 :)

Hi Clay B,

I suggest you to use Domain Forwarding for your site to  http://website.ws/kvmlm2/preflash.dhtml?sponsor=yourusernamehere

You could follow the instruction at: http://talk.ws/index.php?topic=9834.0;topicseen

Hope this will help.

To Our Success.

I have one question:
How can i do my website in romanian language?
I wait for an answer.

Hello everyone on GDI Forum,

I'm a beginner and I've built my personalized website with domain.WS and I use basic hosting from GDI. Now, I want to make blog on my website which use Wordpress. My question is, how I change setting hosting server GDI, such as setting mySQL database so I can install wordpress on my website?

Thanks for your help.

Ervien

I want to use a custom 404 page for one of my websites, anyone know how to do this?

Kim

I have been building my site with page editor and now when I click editor it takes me to the page as if I am previewing it and the editor does not come up.  What Am I doing wrong?  Thanks

You can use custom 404 by modifying the .htaccess file.
To do this, you need to choose the hosting option and you can't use the sitebuilder in this case.

Create an .htacess file and add the following code:


FTP the .htaccess file to your server.
That's it.

If you need help with changing your GDI setting to hosting and ftp, please send me a message.
Cheers.

I've built my .ws site and am fairly pleased with it and the hits its getting but one thing that I cannot figure out is how to add one of the GDI videos to automatically play when someone hits my site.  So many people will hit ur site and leave without ever clicking on a GDI link and I know it would help if one of the videos automatically started playing when someone checks out your site.

Would really appreciate any response and thank you in advance
                                            Dean

One thing I have learnt here is after you have been inactive for a while 30 mins? you are logged out which is annoying because when you go to edit a page again...

you will get a  pop up Sitebuilder page that only has a box with your login name and password

except it doesn't recognise your password so you think you have forgotten your password so you go back looking for it.

This is a system flaw as far as I can see.

The way around it is to bookmark this page: https://www.website.ws/members/?userid= which will recognise your login and password.

I found nothing in Help and these are the instructions I was given by a person from GDI in an email who I suspect didn't actually go thgrough the process before emailling me:

""To add sound files to your webpages, please follow these steps:

1. From within Sitebuilder, please select the Gallery option on the left
panel
2. Click the Browse button and choose the sound files you wish to upload
3. Click the Upload files button DONE
4. Go back to the Page Editor and choose the edit icon on the page you wish to insert the sound file DONE
5. Click the Add New Content link located on the top right-hand corner
6. Select the "Insert an .au, .wav, mp3" option DONE
7. Click the Insert button.""
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
SO I HAVE TRIED TO FOLLOW THESE EXPLICITLY.

I HAVE SUCCEEDED IN UPLOADING VOICEFILE TO GALLERY

IT APPEARS THAT THE EDITING IS DONE WITHOUT GOING INTO THE PAGE WHERE THE TEXT EDITING IS DONE.

But....WHAT IS THIS CONTENT PARAMETERS PAGE THAT POPS UP ALL ABOUT?

WHAT EXACTLY DO

WIDTH?

HEIGHT?

LOOP?

HIDDEN?

AUTOSTART MEAN?

THEN ANOTHER POP UP PAGE COMES ASKING FOR A PARGRAPH HEADER AND PARGRAPH  FOOTER!
WHAT ARE THEY ALL ABOUT? I mean I just want to put a soundfile link on! SHOULD IT BE THIS HARD??!!

ANYWAY I HAVE EXPERIMENTED WITH TRYING DIMENSIONS FOR HEIGHT AND WIDTH,
AND TICKED AUTOSTART,

GIVEN THE FILE A HEADER AND FOOTER NAME WHICH APPEARS ON THE PAGE.

BUT THERE IS NO LIVE LINK AND NO WAY FO HEARING THE SOUND FILE!!!

AND I HAVE EVEN TRIED THIS ON EMPTY PAGES SO SPACE LIMIT ISNT AN ISSUE.

DOES ANYBODY KNOW ABOUT THIS CONTENT PARAMETERS PAGE ?

THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Hi Yves Neault,

Make sure you upload your files inside the folder with your domain name.
http://your_domain_name.ws

Hi Gilbert,

Copy and paste the code below in the webpage (in the code view)


Please remember to ask your downline to change the part that has "username" to his/her own GDI userid.

Hi,

I recently joined GDI in hopes of making a few extra bucks, and starting a successful internet business in line with the Business major I will be studying within the next year.

I'm just wondering if anyone here uses XSitePro to design and publish their website here at .WS.

I'm having problems uploading the tutorial website I created to my website, just for testing purposes. How do I go about doing so? I have everything set up like it says, Minus the 'Home Domain' and 'FTP Domain'. I'm not sure what to put there, and every time I attempt to publish it I get a long list or errors ,even though the process does complete. Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer help.

Colin

 ??? hello everyone my name is alonozo  i live in edgewood md.  I trying to build my GDI business.  I am not sure how the site bulder works.  It does not seem to be user friendly.   So here I am three months later without having my site set up.  I need help please!!! :(

I am teaching a course in vocal music reading for my church choir.  What I would like to do is videotape the classes and store them on my website in archival fashion so people could come to my site and view the classes.  Is that possible?  Please don't tell me I have 100 mb (or whatever) of space for my site, because I have no idea how much that is.  Plain English, please.

go to editer and open additional properties and you can changepage name

 

how when cgi-bin and formmail can possible  in ws site is very import to long life for ws

This is only possible with the hosted option. With the site builder you have to use the standard form to capture leads.

there's someone who can answer my question?
if i built my domain with ws website builder, i mean if i chose "I want to use the WebSite Builder Templates to build my own WebSite". then, when i click publish all, they will houst the site?
and... where can i find the html code for the red sing up button?
just good things i wish to all

I'M NEW TO THIS GDI,JUST SIGNED UP BUT NO NOTHING ABOUT BUILDING MY SITE LIKE WAS SHOWN TO ME WHEN I WAS INVITED TO JOIN,IS THERE SOMETHING OR SOME WHERE TO GO TO BUILD MY SITE

Hello Everyone:

I want to buiild a website to sell antiques & collectibles.  Will this type of website be approved by GDI?

Thanks, 

Otto

Hi Otto, Yes I think GDI would be happy with that idea.
All the best Dave

Hi Otto,

You can use your site for just about anything you want.
There are a ton of sites build by the GDI sitebuilder that I have seen out there that are being used as personal sites, and for promoting other businesses.

Ed

When using the GDI web creation software, is there a way to put meta tags in the head section of the homepage in order to verify my website for google search engine submission?  Where would I put the meta tag?

When you are in "Sitebuilder" click on the tab at the top called "additional properties" and you'll be able to add metatags & keywords there.

So when i set my page up everything is around the right and left and the middle is clear,what do i do to move it all closer together towards the middle?what you just said?,see most of my stuff is pictures of products,also is there a way to maybe just put text in the middle or something?cause when i add more it all goes to the bottom automaticly??? :-\

How do I delete my page i have published and start totally from scratch? it wont let me delete my page!!!

please some one help, i have been trying for 2 hours!

Hi, If you are trying to delete your 1st page (Home/index page) you can't do that.
You would need to open the page in edit, highlight and delete what you already have in there, and resubmit the blank page..then you can start over.
All the best Dave

How do I change what my site looks like? 

Easysalary.ws  is my url.

I am hosting and I got my page up and running, now I would like to add a forum similar to this one here. How can I create a forum? And if I can make a forum how can I make people register it. For now all I know is html and I believe the server only can see html and php type web sites, is this true?

Sorry for the question bombing but I just need to know all of this together cause the kind of relate to one another  ;) any who please let me know how I would appreciate it ;D

HELLO,

I just signed up last night and have been reading the forum all night!  It's like a good book that you can't put down!  So much information, It's AWESOME!!!
I'm really excited about getting started, many of my questions have been answered in the forum.  Only one problem, several answers refer to the http://www.gdi-made-easy.ws/SiteBuilder.html link.  For some reason, this link isn't opening.  I haven't had problems with anything else up to now...any suggestions?

Success to all,

Laura

Hello to everyone here,
As you guessed it I am new to this forum. I need some help with uploading Splash Pages to my index file on my .ws host. Can someone help me please.
Thanks,
Dan

Hi Dan,

You'll need to change the DNS option to hosting to upload the splash page.
I have a video tutorial on how to set the hosting option, send me a private message for the link.

Another easier way that doesn't require uploading or scripts is just to use the splash pages provided by GDI

Hi CoreyS, Login to your back office here http://www.website.ws/members

i am trying to add a banner using html, it will not convert either, can anyone help..........i dont know what im doing wrong.....i see other members sites advertising with banners etc.....please i need help

appreciate your answers

carmel

I wanted to make a page on my website that was password protected, or you needed a username & login to access the page so that only people I want to access the page can access the page.
Is that possible to do with GDI? or do I need another program?

Expert web designers please advise. Thank you

George

Is there anybody at all that knows how to do what I am asking for?

Hi Carmel, Your banner code should look something like this
<a href="http://www.yourdestinationwebsiteurl.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.yourbannerimagesource/images/banner.gif" width="468" height="60" border="0"></a>
Or you can upload your banner image to the ws gallery, open your page, and while in design mode insert the image onto your page, click on the image to highlight it, and then choose the link option from the editor, and enter your destination URL to make your banner image into a live link.
Hope this helps All the best Dave

does the site builder have a mortgage calculator i can add to my site ??? 

im wondering if its possible to use sql with GDI as the host.....i've gotten my site uploaded through ftp, can detect sql on the server and php seems to work fine....
but theres 1 main problem, i dont have the information to connect or modify the SQL database for my site.

The information i need is:
Database Server Hostname / DSN: localhost //<--------this is just a guess but should work since localhost just redirects to the computer the sites on.
Your Database Name: //<------no idea....tried using site here in different ways
Database Username: //<------no idea....tried using username
Database Password: //<------no idea....tried username password
Prefix for tables in database: //<----should be able to put anything.

Error:
Critical Error
Could not connect to the database

From my understanding, GDI supports php but not mysql.
Unless there's an upgrade recently?

i cannot seem to install phpbb

I know it is late but just signed up and can't seem to find sitebuilder. I am on the free trial so possibly that option is not available yet?

Help is appreciated.

Amanion  :'(

On the left side of the screen you'll see "domains' listed in the menu when you click on that you'll be taken to a screen listing your domain & from there you can access sitebuilder. It is available for trial members.

Take care,
Robert

I wounder the GDI the Person could create more space Because i introduce to my friends but my friends rejected because my friends want to have 300MB storage space or more, not 100MB.

If your friends need more server space, he/she can point the GDI domain name to use the advanced hosting option by keying in the nameservers
There many free hosts out there who will offer up to 1G space.
Just google " free hosting"

Hi,
I chose to customize my website, but now have decided to revert back to the default GDI website. I haven't found any instructions on how to do this. Any help will be appreciated.
KarenM

Go to "domains" on the left menu bar.
Click on "change DNS"
Select the "domain forwarding" radio button
Key in your GDI affiliate URL

Please be informed that all your webpages in the server will be lost when you do this.

Hi All, I'm very new to this but I will straight to my question. I deleted my 1st page, now when I log in, my 1st page shows up as page 2. How do I get my first page back to page 1??Thanks for all replies,it is much appreciated. ED

Hi everybody,

I'm new here. I'm trying to build my site but unfortunately I cannot.  I have read the post of Nicole explaining how to configure the DNS setting but unfortunately I cannot find the box where it says Web Forwarding To. Can someone help please.


   
   

Delete your new first page. Then the second page will be your fist page, which is what you want.

Hello.  My question is how do I set the default page of my gdi domain to display a page other than the usual gdi referral page?  Do I need to upload a page, and if so what extension do I put on it to make it "default".  Can this be done through site builder?

Thanks
LS

1)Login to https://www.website.ws/members/index.dhtml
2)click on "domains" on the left menu
3)click "change DNS"
4)select radio button "domain forwarding" option

if you want to create your own page, then choose "site builder"

im confussed, not on making the website but what exactly can i do with the website, can i sell affiliate products such as music, movies, games etc, or not, or is the website only like erm information about the whole thing, where you just refer people to join type....need help

You can put whatever you want on your website, affiliate products, other MLM biz that or a blog.
I recommend that you put a blog as your homepage, then have links to your other programs.

On the service options page when you are stting up your account, it gives you the options to use Sitebuilder or Domain Forwarding and a few other options. Can I use both or, more specifically, if I sign up to use the sitebuilder, does it allow you to use the Domain Forwarding after I build my site?

Any info would be greatly appreciated! ;D
Thank You!

Hello. Can you all tell me who really designs the website and how you can get people to it when they log onto your domain.

Hey, I'm using dreamweaver with the ftp option.  I wanted to know how to go about putting a microsoft word document onto my page  so that visitors can download it.  I not looking for a way for my visitors to be able to view the document on my web page I just want them to be able to download the file.  Thanks so much!

Hi all,

I'd like to know how I can change my landing page for prospects, the page that they're sent to after they enter their information.  I want it to go to the video of the guy talking, or what ever else has proven to work better.  Right now it goes to the generic page with testimonials.   
Any suggestions will help.  If you have a better landing page that's done wonders for you, please let me know, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks for you help.

Liz

Hello Liz,

If you advertise your link of the man talking when people click that link
they will be taken to that page for a presentation on your behalf.
The short version is on the invite page. The longer version find that here.

Hello,

I am a beginner of this web and have not gone through all topic in this forum. Could someone advice me whether can I set my Homepage look the same as;

https://www.website.ws/members/

and how?

Thank you.

Hi
Well I've done what you indicated but still can't enter in my site www.filosofiadevida.ws    ???

What else can I do?

Hi,

I am wondering why would you want to set your homepage as https://www.website.ws/members/?
That's the member login form and if your visitors won't be able to get to know about business if they go here.
Not to mention you will not be credited as the referrer if they join as your username is not there.

Perhaps you have your reasons?
Anyway, you can redirect your homapage to any link, just follow the steps below:
1)login to the back office https://www.website.ws/members/
2)click on "domains" on the let menu
3)click on "change DNS"

(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3158/2609565325_169699a890.jpg)

4)choose the radio button "I want to use Automatic Forwarding Service for my domain"
5)click "continue"
6)put in the link that you want your homepage be directed to

hope that works for you. :)

Ive been trying to build my site but I've realized it will take sometime. How do I make sure that people that go to my site see GDI's default page instead of my site which has no referrals and is undergoing construction?

give them this link instead of your domain

it would be website.ws/whateveryourusernameishere

Hello, I;m new here. I've worked with yahoo sitebuilder and office live, but this thing here defeats me. How do you upload a PDF from the gallery? 2Hours and I'm giving up!

Hi, New on Gdi.

Need your precious answers.

Thanks

Julie

Hi Julie,

At the previewing mode, choose "insert" at the bottom of your existing block.
Then select add html content.
You can take a look at my youtube videos here:

Thank you for your answer, its working ...

New question?

Would like to know if its possible to put some banners or personnal links to go on other websites, in the theme under the link name.

I use the theme "Shape Dice"

Thanks.

I have a question, how do you get audio to upload and play on your website?

Hi,

It seems like the GDI website builder is under maintenance at the moment
http://sb.site-builder.ws/

If you want to add links, just go to the "html" mode in the site builder and and add this code below:

<a href="http://www.yourlink.com">This is the title of the link</a>

Replace http://www.yourlink.com with your choice of website
Replace This is the title of the link with any title

As for adding audio, do you already have an audio file?
If you do, then you need a program to create audio playback buttons on your website.
I have one which is free to use, please send me a message to get it.

dpro

Hi dpro,

I'm really hoping that you can help.

How does the 'page height' function work on the new site builder? ???

My partner is trying to rebuild the mess that our sites turned into with the introduction of this 

Hope to hear back from you soon

Cheers Robyn

Hi dpro.

I am interested in adding audio to my website as well.  would apprciate the free program.

Can someone please instruct me how to copy codes (such as banner codes) into a website?  I'm kind of new at this thing.
Thanks,

Where is the 404 error page and how do I edit it?   ???

I want it to re-direct to a different page, not the usual 'URL can't be found' page. I have a splash page I'd prefer to use.

I tried uploading 404.htm. Obviously that didn't work. Didn't expect it to, but I was hoping it was that stupidly simple. No such luck.

I know how to do it in GoDaddy, but haven't even looked at it in GDI, until now.

Thank you in advance for your help,
Judeline

Hello,

A couple of weeks back I lost my hard drive. Bummer huh? Well I hadn't gotten everything backed up when that happened.

My question is I am using site builder to maintain my web site and had files stored there. I would like to get them back on my hard drive so that I can edit them. How can I download them back to my pc?

Thanks

Bill Rowe

Hi Bill,

If you are using the site builder, your files are in the GDI server (your account)
Just login to the site builder page to edit them.

I am not too sure if you can download the files to your hard drive if you are using the sitebuilder.
This only works for the hosting option.
I suppose you can copy and paste the HTML codes from the site builder to edit them in your computer.

hello my name is juan and i was wondering if can i use the web site builder for create a web page of any product or service


thank you very much in advance


juan c

Yes, you can use the sitebuilder to create webpages for any product and services.
However there has seems to be some glitches in the site builder program recently, so you may want to wait until all have been resolved.
Or you could choose the hosting option and use any third party html editor (like frontpage or NVU) to upload your website.

I've built the basics of my site using the site builder.  Now I'm trying to verify my site with google and it says I need to do one of two things.  Either 1) Add a Meta Tag in the specific place they say as follows:

We couldn't find the verification meta tag in the HEAD section of your site's home page. If you see this error, check the following:

That you've placed the meta tag on the correct page. We look for it on your site's home page. This is the page that your server returns when someone requests your site (such as http://www.example.com/). This page is often named index.html or index.htm, but could be named differently, depending on your server's configuration.
That you've placed the meta tag in the correct place on the page. We look for it in the page's HEAD section. An example of correct placement is shown below.


<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Your Title</TITLE>
<META name="verify-v1" content="String_we_ask_for">
</HEAD>
<BODY>

 


or 2) I can upload an HTML file the way they say as follows:


To verify your site by uploading an HTML file:

Sign into Google webmaster tools with your Google Account.
Click Verify next to the site you want.
In the Choose verification method list, select Upload an HTML file, and follow the steps on your screen.
Using any text editor, create the file that we ask for and make sure to save it with the exact name we ask for (for example, google11e5844324b7354e.html). The filename is case-sensitive and must have an ".html" extension. The file itself can be empty - we don't read the content of the file, but only check to see that it exists in the specified location. Upload the file to your webserver to the location we specify. Generally, this is the root folder for your site.
Once you have uploaded the file, click Verify button. We will verify that the file exists in the specified location. If we can't access the file, we'll give you information about the error we encountered. Once this problem is resolved, try to verify your site again.

I tried this and got an error message as follows:


We've detected that your server returns a status of 200 (found successfully) for pages that don't exist.



We've detected that your server returns a status of 200 (found successfully) for pages that don't exist. We can't verify sites with this configuration because it would enable anyone to verify ownership of your site. You can try our meta tag verification method or change your server's configuration.

This configuration presents a security risk for site verification and therefore, we can't verify your site. If your web server is configured to return a status of 200 (found) in the header of 404 (not found) pages, and we enabled you to verify your site with this configuration, others would be able to take advantage of this and verify your site as well. To ensure that no one can take advantage of this configuration to view statistics to sites they don't own, we only verify sites that return a status of 404 in the header of 404 pages.

If your server is configured to return something other than a 404 for non-existent pages, try our meta tag verification method or change your server's configuration.

You can change your web server configuration to return a status of 404 in the header of 404 pages and still provide a custom error page (see Apache information and IIS information). Note that we do a HEAD request (and not a GET request) when we check for this. Once your web server is configured correctly, try to verify the site again and we'll recheck your configuration

Please help, I've been at this for a week!!

Hi I am using Sitebuilder to make a pretty simple website on my .ws domain. I couldn't find any answers elsewhere in the forum but I think it is pretty basic.

1. Using Sitebuilder, how can I insert raw HTML?

2. Using Sitebuilder, how can I embed video like YouTube videos?

Just starting out so this would really help me and my downline with our pagebuilding and recruiting efforts!!

THANKS

So I got my site all set up and I know all the links work. I have a flash menu bar on the side, but only my Home link is appearing and not the rest of the links. In the regular preview from the builder, they all come up. Any idea why they are not coming up online?

Hi, I join Gdi and I trying to do my own site with the sitebuilder.

I have a problem...

I write in french so when I write something like É or À the site transform the letters :

Vidéo=vidéo

I would like to know what I can do.

Thank you

department so they can further review this issue.

I am new to Webbuilder.sw and am perplexed by why I am able to use this easy way to build a my website, and to suddenly be interrupted
by a pop-up displaying a message to use mazolla foxfire to continue..

Hi I to use another software to make my web page, how can I publish it ?  I suppose I need name server or more. Who could give that information.

The Ws-Site-Builder-4.01 is working OK now..

Hi,I just spent the last few days trying to figure out how to make a web site.I need a little help,for some unknown reason,to me,I can't activate one of my links.And then I have a question,If I were just surfing the net how exactly would I come across my site?What brings it up in searches?Thanks for any info.Lisa

Hello,

How can I use my .ws domain and hosting service to host a wordpress blog?

Anyone have any experience setting this up?  Please let me know.

Thanks,

Hi, I must admit that site building is new to me. I've received an add code from google to display ads on my site, but cannot for the life of me, figure out how to get it to show. Apparently, ws sitebuilder uses wysiwyg? and all I get is the html language to display instead of the ad. Is there a reference/tutorial somewhere for this? I must be overlooking something... ???
thanks.

I've spent the last 3 evenings adding content to my website.  After each change I click "OK" at the bottom of the editor, and then "Save" on the sidebar thingy to save my changes.  When the changes load up nothing but the original content is saved.  I have not published the page, I'm just trying to add additional content, pictures and text, while also hyperlinking the pictures and some of the text. 

Anyone know why the added content disappears when you save it?  I'm still in the trial period, is full functionality of the editor restricted until after the 7 day trial period?  Maybe I've used up too much space with my picture files?  Anyone have any answers/suggestions?

Callie   

I have been trying to build my website for the last 7 days.  Site Builder is a very simple web builder, but it is giving me a real headache.  I got my webpage finished off TWICE already.  Saved it, previewed it, puglished it.  When I previewed it, Perfection.  After I published it, I opened a new browser and viewed it - Perfection.  Loved it.  Now here I am, 7 hours later and the site has turned to crap.  My pictures are gone except for 1.  The links are still there, but what the heck is going on?

This is the Second time I've done this and both times the same problem.  What is causing this?  I joined for the website and hosting, not for the "program".  If the site building and hosting is this much trouble, then it's too much trouble.  Help, Help, Help.

Callie from Canada

Never mind.... I spent a few more hours and finally got the job done.  Check out my site at http://www.calliesflowers.com   ;D
I also discovered that if you log into the website from a secure work intranet, such as the one I work at, then many features on some webpages are blocked by the network.  The pictures on my website have hyperlinks to products from the Linkshare and Google affiliate networks... My work intranet was blocking those.  But otherwise the site turned out great.

After my site is published, can I add additional content and re-publish?

you are probably not doing anything wrong. the same thing happens to me too. I wish they would fix it, or tell us how to.

Hi,

I want to build my website for business purposes.

Can someone pls. help me by offering advices on where I can get free tools for to add products and a shipping cart/checkout form?

Thanks,

Hi,
 I just spent the better part of 3 hours adding text to the Site builder. I had to go pick up my daughter from school so I saved everything per the directions, logged of and shut off my computer.
I was gone maybe 40 minutes when I logged back on and went to Site builder I could preview what I had done but it would not let me enter into the text editor.
I tried numerous times finally it let me in. Guess what? no text to edit. I did save my text to a word doc. before I logged off so I tried cutting and pasting into the text editor and it gave me a pop up with very confusing directions on how to get word doc. into text editor. I have used 3 different WYSIWYG editors and have never had a problem cutting and pasting text into them.
 I searched the site builder query for an answer but it seems that everyone here is new to this just like me...I only saw one person posting that was trying to help.
Please find someone to help all us poor lost souls. Without being able to use the tools available most of us won't be able to get up and running. :'(

Hi Everyone!

Love the  GDI marketing plan. I just can't get my web site to act right. I have called Customer support allot.  I think they hate me! Here is the deal.
I start on my 1st. and only page. Get it lined up. Hit the save button.  Go to the 4.01 page. preview. Come back to the edit page. Everytime I come back to the edit page it all moves.  So I re correct!  Re aline the realine. Save it. Preview. Come back to the edit page and it has all moved again. I re correct the re correct of the correction of the re alighnment of the original alighnment. Save! Come back to the edit page and it moves out of alignment again. Been working on this problem for a week solid. Support says it is not their server or site builder. I have used 6 different computers this week alone in hopes of correcting the issue. Happens on every computer. All 6!  So either I have benn on 6 crapy computers or something is not right somewhere.

I have used my lap top, my desk top pc, my friends supper computer ( $3000. plus) the public library, a computer at the University Of Memphis, and a another friends office computer.

Somebody tell me what I should do next! Please!  Dell says my Demintion 2400 xp Home Addition is just fine. They took control for a moment and did a complete scan and system update.  Everything checked out OK!

Is it me or is something wrong. Am I the only one having these problems? I have three websites on Homestead and have never had this much of a problem!

Regards,

James

Diane :)

I'm using webbizforums to create a forum on my website.
I followed all the instructions but the code doesn't seem to work.
1.  I get an error message saying that the CheckForm is not defined in line 1. What does that mean?
2. I'm thinking maybe I didn't put the right SQL server name: what is the name or IP for GDI?

Hi guys,

This is my 2nd day of GDI and trying to figure out which replicated site works best.

I like the Financial Freedom replicated site but there are too many info to fill in in order to watch 7 mins presentation.

Is there any way I could modify this site so that I could only see things that I need i.e. Names, e-mail address, city, and country?

Thanks :),

Hello GDIers

Can I use a squeeze page on site builder?? If not how do I get that as my regular site?? Also I placed a small banner in my space, How do I get the link to go to the other page?? Thanks for any help!!

Dave ???

How do you verify your site with google using this site? What DNS would I use to do this? It does not appear that sitebuilder it self can do this. Is this not a problem to anyone else?

I have seen a message responding to a question about promoting GDI from Sanjinka about creating a simple splase page and getting 155 hits from traffic exchanges and I think two sign ups.
Where or who can help me with the site builder because I do not understand it . I mean I can make a site, but it has got to have more to it then what I am seeing. There is something that I am missing because how are these splash pages created. Do I need to install html codes to make this work. Where do i get the codes to do this?
What exchanges did you use to do this.

I finished building my website and published it. I selected the design that i wanted for all the pages on the site for consistency.  The two plug-ins, I also chose the design and previewed in and it look fine. I viewed the site and the feedback page and the guest book page does not have the correct design.  I went back deleted it and tried again and still it does not change to the design that I chose.  Can someone help me please?

My web address is:  http://www.DeborahJohnson.ws

Any advice would be helpful.

Deborah

Hi Deborah,

          great site may I say.I generally don't use the Site Builder but you said that you wanted the guestbook to have the same design as the rest of the site, well it all looked the same to me, so what is it about the guest book that is different from the rest of the site?

Kim

do i get access to mysql?
if yes, what do i do to get the details?

Anna, did you get any replies? I am using the site builder and I would love the ability to edit one of the replicated sites or splash pages. Has anyone been able to do this? I hate to waste my time reinventing the wheel. thanks in advance for the help.

Hi all website building gurus, I got a problem with website builder.

Has anybody else made same experience:
when I'm viewing my site with IE, everything seems to be OK,
except some empty space below I can't get rid of.
But when I'm viewing it with FF, there are broken paragraphs.
I deleted the site three times and built it again - nothing helps.

What may be wrong with it?

Try clearing your cache. sometime firfox holds onto old css styles and can cause problems.

Hope this helps...

Hey Everyone
I´ve been involved with GDI for about 2 weeks now and I´m having difficulties setting up an opt-in box on my website. I would as well like to have GDIs video on my website. I know it´s possible since I´ve seen others have it on their website. Please could you reply on how to set up those two things on your website (I´m using sitebuilder)
I apreciate the help!

Yes it is Wayne. I have constructed two pages and published them on the net and am still in the trial period.

Hi there
Does anyone know how to put widgets from outside the sitebuilder onto my website?  I have put the html code in as you would a banner, and when I click for a preview the widget comes up.  But when I click 'ok' to put it onto my website, it only comes up as a small empty box.

I really hope I'm not having a blonde moment!!  ;D

Best Wishes to all
Helen

hi all!  i'm new to GDI and working on websites too so i'm hoping i can really launch something here.  i read through a lot of the forum before posting and my question is: how do i make a fully customized website on gdi?  i really like the template, but sometimes i'd rather have a banner in a certain place or i need to remove the phone contact text at the top right.  are there ways to manipulate current templates?

HI Everyone. How do you put a form into your custom page so prospects can leave you there details. 

Jason

I have started using the web site builder to build up my first page. But I can't figure out how to put the thing in were it has them actually sign up for GDI. You know? Like when you go to my page theres no navigation for them to actually sign up. I think I'm just missing something but I don't know how to do it.

I'm new and somewhat familiar with templates.  I think I just need a navigation tip here. I want to place a link or two in the left hand margin of a page, below where the user would see my .ms email address and my phone number as a part within the template. How do I access that space ?

How do I set that the text in my page which is built trough the website builder should be adjusted to the viewers screen size?

Hi! Im new here and to the whole GDI thingy.

I have a question about building my own website. everytime I go to the sitebuilder, I couldnt login. Im not sure if I am doing it right or what. Somebody please help. Thanks.

Hi
 My Name is Ron and I am new to ws.
I am trying to build a web page but unlike the other post I am stuck on page 1.
I have it all filled in but there it sits and I have been unable to do page 2.
page 1 was not bad because I cut and pasted a web page I made on micro-word.I added a push button for the name and email at the bottom . but like I said I AM STUCK.

I am basically a programmer in Java.
I would like to know anyway to implement jsp in my .ws site, also can I write Java Script.
I just joined one day back.

Just wondering if anyone are has or knows how, I've tried but it keeps failing to connect.

I know you have to log into the back office and all that, but does anyone else have to log into a site they have built themselves using an html editor and an ftp file loader? I am in the process of building my site but every time I go to check my changes or whatever it asks me to log in. This is very annoying as I don't know why this happens. When I first started using this method to build my site I did not have to log on just to check the changes I had made. If anyone can help or I have been unclear please respond.

Hi all,
I am new here,and I have set up my website already with .ws hosting,which I used is sitBuilder 4.01.
Now I ask a question,that is how to make the page in the middle,I searched and didnot find how?
who could help me out?thanks :)

Hi, I am in the process of creating my website (have very little experience haha) and I need to know if there is a way to link users to sign up from your website. The way I signed up, was that I viewed somebody elses .ws site, was sold on their pitch, and clicked their link saying "click here to sign up for your 7 day free trial". I clicked it it brought me to the page where i viewed the presentation, I registered and became their referral.

so my goal here is to create a link to direct users to the sign up page, but at the same time making sure I get credit for referring them.

any help?

newbie here, so after sign up, what next and where i must configuration my domain? and are i need website to running this system from GDI ?

Who could tell me how to make the page in the middle?I use the builder ,thanks

Hello, my name is Linda and I'm haveing a little trouble getting started with my site. You see, I joined yesterday and my husband and I built the homepage, with not much on it, and I'm pretty sure sure we published it but he doens't think so. Anyway today I tried to get on and edit the site but I'm not sure how. If anyone could tell me where to go to edit the site - like from the member account homepage - it would be greatly apperciated.

Hi!  My name is Kathy and I am new to GDI. I've been trying to work on my website (a personal retail site) but the more I read about the website design on the forum, the more confused I get! I have just one question now (and I'm sure many more later)- can the image on the header of the template be changed or do we have to take what we get on the template? I'm trying to figure out how to customize this for businesses in town.

Thanks!

Hi Linda, Login, scroll down left side menu to your Registered Domain name, click on it, go through the process ie, choose..Site Builder, next page Build My Website, your website pages will appear, then click on Edit for your chosen page..always save and then publish your work. Hope this helps..All the best Dave

Hi Kathy, I don't think you can change the templates if you have chosen the Site Builder, if you choose Basic Hosting then you can do your own thing..
All the best Dave

Hi, First of all choose the link you would like your visitors to go to, get them from left hand menu after login, click on My Replicated sites.., here is an example of how your link would look
<a href="http://website.ws/kvmlm2/ws.dhtml?sponsor=YOURGDIUSERNAME&template=2" target="_blank">Get a 7 Day Free Trial</a>
If you edit your page in Design View, you can type in the text you want your visitors to see first, then highlight the text, choose the link button from the top of the editor, and a window will pop up where you can put the URL to your link and also choose to have the link open in a new window..Hope this helps..All the best Dave
Hope this helps..All the Best Dave

Hi Guys

Does anybody know if i can place a autoresponder on my website page. I have the html code but when i try to paste it onto my website the code appears not the responder. Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Hi Gareth, When you are editing your page, make sure you are viewing the editing in source view (options can be found at bottom of page editor), this is where all the html goes, if you have the page in design view it will just show exactly what you have pasted there.
All the best Dave

Hi friends:
The non visible pages of my website are not visible in the last three days when the links are clicked in :'(. I waited until now thinking that you were in some administrative mode, but the links to the pages are not working and I'm getting a little preocupied.

Thanks for you help.

M. Perez Cotto

Signed up for GDI (one week ago) and went to start putting a web site together and I keep getting a black page and it goes no further then this after clicking on the web site builder icon.  I think I've done everything correctly, i.e., setting up the server through GDI's, but am not making progress.  Help? :-[ If this is posted somewhere else and I can read it just send me the link.  Appreciated.

hi,
im now starting building my site! and its quiete challenging..

pls check it out and ur comments and suggestions will be much appreciated..

www.mercyobligana.ws

cheers!

Great start to your website.  Looking forward to the finished product.  Two things I noticed.  The image does not appear on the homepage and on your GDI page, your url is not hyper-linked.  Make sure you do that, so that your visitors can just click through.  Most will not copy and paste to see what you have going on.  Again, great start!

Frank

When using the Sitebuilder wizard, I was unable to build the site without publishing it online.
Can I build my site using the Wizard and sitebuilder, test it out, edit and check it while my GDI link is URL forwarding to another URL?
When I am finished, I then want to switch from URL forwarding and publish my new site.
I can't see how to do this.

For those who have read previous post on this thread, I said that I thought it would be neat to have the G.D.I. video on my site. I found the HTML code for this video! If you do not know how to put it on your site, all you need to do is create a new text box and paste this into the source window, Here it is:

I am stuck as is one of my downline. We want to use our.ws site to forward to another URL and not just "park", until our site built by Sitebuilder is ready. Can anyone answer this query?

I am completely new to GDI signing in two weeks ago going about this at a very primitive grass roots level, i.e., internet marketing, advertising for a GDI downline, building a web site through GDI, going out on the internet and basically selling myself, essentially learning a completely different way of going about existing is what it really comes down to here having ONLY rudimentary computer skills. I'm talkin' really rudimentary here, almost like an eighty year-old woman trying to bronc a very ornery Brahman bull.

I wouldn't have started a new post if I only knew where to start looking for help in this forum and yes, I have contacted support, twice in fact, but to no avail when their suggestions were implemented and didn't work.

Here's my problem:

Can someone direct me to getting assistance on how to get my computer to respond to GDI's SITE BUILDER?  I have been struggling with this for damn near two weeks now and when I go into the DNS and click on SITE BUILDER which would ordinarily take you to the SITE BUILDER page, all I keep getting is a black page on my screen and my computer will not respond any further than this.  I've tried everything, I've downloaded Adobe Flash Player successfully based on Supports suggestion, I've download Shock Wave Adobe, I've gone into my settings to make sure the 'customized' settings were correct from the 'Security' tab, I have tried everything to get this SITE BUILDER going to no avail.

I am using Windows with Firefox as my browser.  All I need are links within this forum from anyone who has had similar difficulties getting SITE BUILDER to respond on their computer or any info that can get me into the SITE BUILDER so I can start taking advantage of this 10 dollar a month domain fee for GDI.  It has to be something frustratingly simple I am missing here, that's usually the case, the simplicity just blows right by you.

Thanks everyone, really appreciate the tips or direction.

I personally do not use the sitebuilder.  However, I think the problem may be Firefox.  Try going in using Internet Explorer instead of Firefox.  Just a suggestion.

Hello, I joined GDI mostly to create a couple of websites of my own.  I went to "Build your Website" in the main page.  it only has a few website templates that you can use.  The template website backgrounds are not the backgrounds I had in mind.  Can I download templates or backgrounds of my own from my computer?  How do I do that?

Hello everyone,  I join GDI mainly for the services.  I have the following questions before I get more involved in the business:

1) I am trying to build 2 websites.  One for my online store and one for my non-profit organization.  Does GDI have the online website builder capability?


2) Can I create pages such as a contact form with autoresponder, online store with payment capabilities, flash intros, etc?

3? Can I add a guestbook page?

4) Is GDI mainly for the moneymaking or can you really build websites?

Thanks.
 

Hi!  Yes, you can do all of those things with your GDI website.  There is a site builder available which you will find on your website.ws login page (they just added a few more nice looking templates too).  You can place a contact form on your page, you just need to get the code from your autoresponder service.  You can add a guestbook, flash intros/videos...it is a real website.

Good luck in creating your sites and post them when you are finished or if you need any suggestions so we can all have a look!

Im am not new to site building but did get confused on one issue. On the first page of the editor it wants me to complete the url for my address after .ws/ Do I put my username there?

thank you

Hi all. I have been a member for over 2 months. I have been trying to build my website. This is my first time building one. All members of my upline sent emails right away welcoming me and offering help if I needed it...I have spent the last 2 and a half months asking for help but all I have gotten in response is automated emails that have NOT helped me one bit! Any help at all will be greatly appreciated. I also have another question. I have read almost all of the forums and it seems there are alot of helpful upline people out there...can I switch to one of them? I'm truly lost and frustrated at the moment. I am about to pay for my third month of fees and still haven't been able to get this up and running and I REALLY want to! Thanks in advance for the help!  ;D

Jon

Hi Jon,

Can you describe what errors you see when using the site builder?
From my experience, try the following:

• use internet explorer as your browser
• make sure pop ups blocker is turned off
• close other web editor (if you are running any)

Send me a private message if you still have problems.
If you can provide some screen shots or error messages that will be great.

Hi there,

I'm using a GDI template, and trying to place either the Google meta tag, or html code into the <head> part of my website.

Can anyone please tell me how to do this?

Thanks,
Arun

can somebody explain, how to upload
my own templates from computer to homepage?

I thank in advance

I have no idea how to do it. I need somebody to help me. Please.

How to make password protected page? Is it needed a script or what? It's used with GDI wbhosting, I want to do it with my GDI website. ;D

hey everybody, Do u know how to protect web page?

I did some research and found 2 different ways to do it:
-scripts
-password protect service (like bravenet)

Which one is better? Because instead of different pricing, difficulties of implementing this is different.

Any suggestion?

I hope I am putting this in the right place, if not please forgive me and point me in the right direction. I have been a user of GDI for almost 5 years, I have 3 domains, all being hosted. I have never really had a problem until now and needless to say I am way outside of my comfort zone. Here is what I am trying to do....

I am trying to install ProFolio on my server - following is the directions I received from the makers of ProFolio....

Install Instructions

1.  Open up the file config.php and change the Databse Host, Username, Password and Name information to your own values.

2. Upload the folder ProFolio to your website (You can also upload the files within the folder into your website's root directory).

3. Direct your browser to the folder. For example, if your website is http://website.com, then to access your the folder, go to http://website.com/ProFolio or if you installed the files in the root directory of your website, you would access the page by just going to http://website.com

4. Follow the install instructions presented. When you have pressed the Finish button, you can Login to your ProFolio in the top-right corner of the page. Once logged in, you can edit your general settings by clicking Change Settings & Pages or customize your ProFolio by clicking Customize!


Unfortunately, I cannot make it to #2 because I keep getting the error message, "Host '64.70.19.52' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server".  I have no idea what this means or how to fix it.

In addition, I am not 100% sure that I changed the config file correctly. This is what I entered, maybe someone could advice me on this...

$host = "ftp.hosting.ws";
$db_username = "dclary";
$db_password = "xxxxxx";
$database = "localhost"; (I wasn't sure what to put here so I tried "local host" as well as my directory)

If you need any further information please let me know.

Hi I am a New User, I am trying to learn all I can about building a successful website. I also want to make my website a all in one website, filled with information and resources, but I am finding it a bit difficult with the website builder. I am trying to add widgets. But it doesn't save on my page. I also want to add links and banners and things like that and other html codes.

Will someone please take me by the hand and show me step for step how to do all these things. Please I need help.

Thank you...

I decided make some changes to my website and chose a different template (the home based business template).  Once it saved over I tried to delete my phone and email icons that had appeared under the flash banner but not only did the icons disappear - images in all other pages of the website builder disappeared.  How to I get them back.  I have signed out and back in and tried to select the template again but its not working.

I'm not familiar with html or anything else to do with websites for that matter.  I could really use someone's help.

Thanks.
Mary

Thanks for that bit of info.  I too am trying to put a contact form and some videos on mysite, do you have to upload some type of widget in order to upload the HTML code from your autoresponder?
Thanks

Hi Everyone

I have just joined and I am in the process of building my webpage with the ws site builder. How do I add links like "join now" etc, I am good with computers but must admit this is different to what I have done before.

* join now*
*GDI VIDEO*

etc.....

Many thanks Phill

  Since GDI will not support mysql, I signed up for mysql database hosting elsewhere.
I could not get joomla (hosted here) to connect to the mysql database (hosted elsewhere)
I tried a handful of free mysql hosts and could not connect using any of them.  I had all the
correct info.
  Has anyone had any success with this?

  Thank you,
-Tony

Hello everyone,

I have a question which i hope any of you would solve it for me...can i add an external banner to my website pages ? And what about if i want to change anything inside the template...colors or the place of the bars etc...

Please reply me ASAP.

Hi,

I would like to know how to attach a PDF to one or more of my web pages.  So this can be downloaded by my website visitor.

Thanks for the help.

Michael

You would need to use the hosting option and upload it via FTP, and then link to it.

I just came aboard 2 days ago for my third time but I would like know what is the purpose of the Site Builder Website? and does it cost anything extra?

Hi James,

The Site builder is for those who have no experience in building websites. Its a more simple way to get a website online. And no, it does not cost extra.

Hi, I was just wondering if I have clicked on Site Builder by accident but would rather use the advanced sitebuilding option, how do I change that? Because now every time I click, Build your website, it simply takes me straight to site builder, which is not what I want.
Thanks
Mike

I want to market GDI to local plumbers and locksmiths that do not have websites or have websites provided by the yellow pages. Where can I find more templates that would feature item relative to these industries. Thanks I love being a member of GDI!!!

Chance

Hi all,

I am new member and want to know about this program to develop lot of member

Thanks

First open your web site builder
go to text
hit source btn delete the code on there
go to you tube
bring up the video you want to copy
under the url on the right hand side is  embed code
copy the embed code and paste it in the text box on your website builder
hit ok
save
now preview
should work

I know how to use pay pal on the web site, but I was wondering how to automatically allow people to have access to a book or music that they can download only after it is paid for.  Is there a program or web builder that allows for that kind of detail and is it possible on the GDI web sites.  Thanks for any help possible. 

hello friends how are you all, I have a question regarding site development. How can I use my own coding in GDI website making. Like if I have made page for myself in .net  or html whatever it is  then how will I be able to publish it online. I have uploaded the page through upload files feature but I could not find how to publish it online or how to make it show in my other pages.

JashanpreetSingh,


Re your query, as I remember, you have to first "create a Page' in SiteBuilder.  Enter all the required information. Then as the wizard takes you through the sitebuilding, it will throw up a box that says "add text" along with one that says "add images"

Click the "add text" box and you will be presented with another larger box that says again "add text".  Paste your code in this box.

You will be able to edit the text, see the source code, and do a preview of how it will look.

The source code will look different from what you paste in, since Sitebuilder uses its own protocols, but you can tweek it. If you can do your own code it should not be too difficult, but it will try your patience and sometimes your ingenuity.

I use my .ws site for a business I don't promote any longer. 

Can I rebuild the website or do I need to cancel the domain, register and build a new one?

When you log into the site builder, the first page you see is the page manager.  Just change the numbers in the box next to the page you want to change and click update pages.

Hi my name is Antonio and i am trying to creat a website for my mom;s house cleaning business, but none on the tampletes really interested me. The ones that do come with things i cant customize, like animated banners at top (Ex. the business templates) or the picture and placement of the telephone feature. Maybe somebody can help me find a way to creat a MORE customized website?? I'm new to web building so all and any ideas are appriciated. THANKS!

Antonio!!  Have you looked at all the other post's in this category? If there is nothing here that will help you then you need to outsource having a web page built and then use the hosting on the domain.  If you can use html coding you can build the page that you want and then use it for advertising.  I don't believe you can change the code for the pages provided here that you can use with the web builder.

I'm sorry I can't help you more.

Eddie 

Hi Antonio.  You could build your mother's page using any number of free website building software that is available.  One would be BlueVoda.  It's quite easy to use and requires you to have no knowledge of HTML.  Simply do a search for BlueVoda and you will find their website building software.

With that you will also need to change your DNS setting to Hosting.  Simply go to your GDI back office, click on domains and under the website you wish to modify click on "Change DNS" and change it to "Hosting".

You will then need an FTP client to upload your new pages to the server.  There are many free ones available, just do a search for FTP client or FTP program.  I use one called Core FTP Lite and it works quite well.  Whatever FTP client you use, you will need the Host/IP/URL for GDI.  That is "ftp.hosting.ws" without the quotes.  Then just enter in your username and password and it should be good to go.

So, first thing will be to download a website building program.  Once you do that create the page you want and get it looking the way you want.  Then change you DNS setting for your website to "Hosting".  Grab yourself an FTP client and be sure to enter "ftp.hosting.ws" without the quotes in the Host/IP/URL field and put in your GDI username and password.  Then all you have to do is navigate to where your new pages are stored on your computer and drag them over to your GDI site.  Hit upload and you are finished!

One final note, the first page of your website should be called index.html.

Hope this helped and was not confusing.  Good luck and let us know if you run into any problems.  :)

Hi there,

I was half way through the Build Website wizard when I went back a step or two to alter the font of some text and then it would not return to the page I was on.  I think that it has saved what I did, and it's showing as "published" in WS Sitebuilder 4.02  but I don't know whether it is suitable for viewing yet, or what to do next .I created a Menu page and then a Feedback page and a Guestbook page.  When I put the url in for my site into my tab browser it seems to go straight to the Feed back page, not the "Main Menu" home page I created.  Any ideas on how I can go back and fix the site, or can I delete it and start again? (I have created an email to go with this site)

 ???john

Ok John, go to the members area-click on the build my website tab-when the outline for the site comes up look and see what the numbers are for you're Main page, this should be page # 1 if not just click on the update page and change you're #s to show in numerical order the way you want them to appear, also when you use you're url any where to advertise the you can type the url to send people where you want them to go if you type http://you'rewebsite.ws/menue or what ever page you want them to land on as long as it is the title of that page,
Hope this helps you

How do i add YouTube videos to my WS?

Well here is youtubes answer to you're question:
The Basics
How do I add a video to my blog or web page?

   1. You'll need to edit the HTML of your blog entry or page—this should be relatively straightforward. In Blogger, for example, just click the "Edit HTML" tab.
   2. Next, go to the video that you want, and look for the 'Embed' box in the "About This Video" section. Copying the HTML code that's there into your website will create an embedded player; the video will play within your site when the user clicks on the 'Play' button.
   3. You can resize the player by editing the object width="425" and height="350" fields at both the beginning and end of the embedded player code. Make sure that the sizes you choose have the same ratio as the default numbers, so that the video doesn't get stretched—just multiply the width by 0.8235 to get the height.
After you get the HTML code copied go to the members area, click on build my site go to the editor, click the text tab,right click ,click on the add hyperlink and paste the HTML in the text link at the bottom,click OK and put it on the page where you want it.
Hope this helps you out.
Eddie

Thanks

Ryan, I don't think you can host a WordPress blog with a .ws domain. According to their FAQ

So that pretty well means not blog, forum or anything else than needs MySQL.  >:(

Oh well. Reckon I will have to host it elsewhere.

Hi - I want to choose my own background and how to lay out my pages.
Does anyone know how we get started on that??
I dont find a place where it starts with a blank - only the templates to choose from.
Any help would be awesome!!
Thanks!

Hi!

I wanted a blank template as well... I couldn't see any way of doing it.

Also, I noticed, when I wanted to check that opt in worked that my email address didn't fit, that is a bit daft, if I was a client it means you wouldn't get my info!

One more thing whilst I'm at it, does anyone know how to add video and photos? I tried to upload a photo and is messed up my entire site making everything jumbled :(

In general I'm happy with GDI although I have no sign ups yet... lots of people have clicked on the like (close to 1000 now) but no takers.

Take care everyone and good luck!

Emma :)

Well hello there Emma and Loreen!  That is not possible unless you are using a hosting account and FTP, sorry.  hope this helps you

Eddie

Thank you Eddie! :)

Hello,

I'm the newbie, I'd like to use the site buider but i can't find the "change setting button" on the default setting. please help ???

Hi Everyone,

There doesn't seem to be enough space for my email address in the opt in tool (you know, the admit one ticket stub people fill in which can be found in the GDI tools in the website builder). I wanted to check it but my email address won't fit! Can anyone help with this? It'll be a problem for business if people can't get access. (FIXED, THANKS!)

Also, I have put a guestbook page and just want to make sure that the people who leave comments won't get emails from GDI?

Thanks!

Emma :)

I'm trying to create a website with a couple of drop down menus.  Can anyone tell me how to do that?

hatacess files could we use it on site.ws???? via ftp???

how to use .htaccess file?


help needed
Thanks
Oliveiros Costa

my suggestion is to point your .ws domain to one of the replicated capture pages, host an actual blog somewhere else and provide links on your blog leading to your capture page. People join people they know, like and trust. Your blog will allow you to brand yourself, get in touch with your readers and give them a reason to follow you. You will become known as someone your prospects can get to know, like and trust. Offer value.

Hi Guys

I've just started to build my website and have already come across a problem I'm hoping you can solve.

I spent an hour or so typing in the text box, checked everything was ok (it was) and saved my work. When I went to preview it, the text had jumped up to the top of the page. I went back in and moved the text box back to the middle of the page (I used the 'Move Me' box to move it down) and it wouldn't stay. It just kept going back to the top of the page!!

Any suggestions?

Chris  :o

Hello!

I had this problem too. There is one webpage that I would like to update, but I am afraid to edit my page. The text box keep jumping around the page and you can't correct it. Whoever is responsible for the sitebuilder, please correct this problem. Thank you! Have A GREAT WEEKEND and HAPPY EASTER!

                                                           Margo

Hasn't anyone gotten any further since 2008 when it comes to a .ws website and Google AdSense?  I'm having trouble getting through the set up process from google for domains.  Does anybody have any advice on how to get these to show up?  Thanks!

I am new to the internet, especially that of complex and complicated things regarding website development.   Is there anyone out, persons or materials, that could help me on a step by step procedures on setting up a website?  I know the members area provides you a template where you could just fill in the necessary information but sometimes if i want to edit or delete stuff that i made and redo it again...i can't do anything.  Please help!  Thank you to anyone who have a good soul there..My best wishes also for your business!

Hello
I'm new to this ...Can enyone tell me how to modify my wesite i cant get the site builder to work


Thx

It is better to create a website with just one theme rather than a motley of things to promote and sell?
I have heard that it is better to have just one thing to promote  as vistors just get distracted and end up leaving the site  buying nothing? What do you think?
-

Hello again, P_Gringel.  By the way, I love those images you include at the bottom of each post.  :)

Well, this is what I think.  It really depends on the website and what YOU want them to do.  If there is a definite action you want them to take then it would be better not to give them any other choice.

But, if you don't have a specific action you want them to take then having multiple things on the page is fine.  I'll use one of my blogs as an example.  On most of my pages there is a sidebar that says "Other network marketing resources".  I only list 5 resources but each of those get visitors regularly.  Which is what I want.

But then there are other pages where I definitely want them to take a specific action.  For instance, I want them to opt into my list or something.  In that case, that is the ONLY option I give.  And I even make it extremely obvious what it is I want them to do.  For instance, I might have a big red arrow pointing to the form where I want them to put their information.

So, it really depends on what YOU want them to do on that given page.  If you definitely want them to go to one specific place, don't give them any other choice.  But if you don't have a definite action you want them to take on that page, giving a person options is fine.

There's my opinion, hope it helps!  :)

Click on Change DNS on your My Domains.  This will access the site builder

Why can't we access the SiteBuilder?  I came back to GDI, was a member a long time ago.  I discontinued it.  They have now made some wonderful changes.  That is why I came back!  Now I can't access what I am paying for.  I am still on the trial, it that why or is a system glitch.  I am doing the Learning Bonus.  I click on the link and it takes me to My Domains.  Then if I click on Build Your Website, it shows the SiteBuilder Robot Image Page and then after 3 seconds the page changes to My Domains Page, not giving access to SiteBuilder.  This was the whole reason I wanted this package, fo SiteBuilder.  How do you complete your Learning Bonus if the site will not give you access to the tasks required to get the bonus?  How do I promote this and just offer domain and hosting, and not offer this site builder and justify the cost?  Doesn't make me very confident in promoting GDI, can someone fix this?  This is a great opportunity, if you have the tools you were supposed to receive with the package!  How do you ever hit a bonus if they are unrealistic and you can't achieve them because the website has a glitch that will make them unattainable.  Some one Please help.  I have already referred 3 people in 2 days.  I have integrated this with another business I have, so they join this as part of a package.  I will have sign-ups every day! I just don't want my name attached to a business that does not deliver what we are selling!  Hope Someone has an answer, haven't had 1 question answered by support and have placed multiple support tickets.  Thanks if you can help!
