Hi,

I haven't done much wiht Coffee Cup web sites in months but now with winter here I want to work on some web sites. Here are a few questions that are stumping me.

Last night I made a simple page in Visual Site Designer, and I published it. No problems, Later, I made another simple test site, but every time I hit "publish" I see the other web site pop up. How can I get off of that page to upload the new one? I've gone through all the menus and tried all the obvious and simple stuff.

Next, when I made the first test site (as I re-learn the program) it all looks perfectly centered in the local view. But when I published it, it is very off center. What settings do I need to use to have it centered up when it gets on the internet? Again, I've gone through the menus and tried all the simple and obvious stuff, so I must be missing something, or not going to the right place.

And, if I am in Visual Site Designer, where is the tab so I can see the HTML? I think I remember seeing that earlier but I can't find it again.

Thankfully these are probably going to be easy fixes once I hear from you and re-familiarlize myself wiht the program.

Thanks!

Hi Don.
1. For each website you need to enter the proper ftp settings. This can be found under Publish. If your using your free S-Drive account you only get one site.
2. To center a page click on Page at the top of the design screen. In the properties box that pops up to the right check Center Design.
3. There's no direct access to all the html in VSD. You have access to the head of the page for placing needed scripts. If you want to place custom html in your site click on the Add HTML on the left hand panel then click and drag on your screen. The rest should be obvious.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.
