Ok, I'm new to RSD so this is possibly a really dippy question but when I set the design for heading 1 in the software it looks like I want it to ie like this http://highparkcommunitymusicproject.or … nGrab1.jpg
but when I upload it to check it looks like this: http://highparkcommunitymusicproject.or … index.html with the default heading 1 style of enormous grey text which is the last thing I want!!

It's very much an unfinished work-in-progress, but I'm trying to learn as I go, hence I know there's a lot still not done.

Another problem I seem to have is that I've got an image at the bottom of this page http://highparkcommunitymusicproject.or … about.html which shows up the picture placeholder as though it's not there, but, if I use the "inspect" option in Chrome, suddenly it shows in the format as it's meant to!?!

Suggestions for both the above issues would be appreciated as I'm really not sure what I'm missing!
Many thanks

Hi Rebbecca,
The header looks the same to me when you squeeze your browser down to the same width as your screen capture.
The issue with the image at the bottom is that you have the image url set at a lower break point. If you squeeze your browser down you will see it switch. Set your image url at above your highest break point.

Hi Rebecca, I would suggest to make a more responsive friendly menu. One that goes horizontal on large screens and switches to vertical on little screens. Their pretty easy to do with the CC menu builder app. Would be a big improvement for the site. You seem to have your two issues under control or soon to be.. and the site is coming along nicely.

Hi Eric,
Thanks for your reply. I get what you're saying about the header looking right when the browser is small - or on a mobile - but why doesn't it look as I've set it to when on full screen? Lost there I'm afraid.
I think I get what you mean about the image - can you give me an idiots guide as to how to "Set image url at above your highest break point" please?!
Thanks Bex (not sure why this had got my full name which I never use anywhere ever!)

Can't say this is something I've come across as yet... is this menu builder app separate to RSD? Don't want to have to buy any more software at the moment!!

Sorry I was so long replying. Just now got back to reviewing posts. Yes, the menu builder is a separate software. I do not know if you can do these things with the built in one on RSD. I have the menu builder so just went with it. I had the button builder app for a long time and never really used it and they have now discontinued it so I am assuming you can do everything in RSD without the button builder. Being as they have not discontinued the menu builder it must have added capabilities to the native abilities of the RSD for making menu's. Guess another reason that I used it was that I wanted to get some use out of it before it was history. Before the RSD came out I remember playing with menu design in RLMP and
RED and had decided pretty much to use the menu builder then before the RSD had come out. That is probably why I did not spend much time trying to do the menu with the RSD. I may have experimented with it but i do not remember. There are a great many things to learn with the recent releases of all of these extremely different than traditional applications and the large number of them in a short period of time. Is the nature of the beast.
I had real severe problems getting my background gradient to work correctly. Worked on it on multiple occasions over a several month period. Had severely messed up the site a couple of times and had to spend a week on it straightening it out only to go back to working on the gradients again. Required patients and persistence. Going over all of the info on the forum on the matter and studying outside info posts on the subject too. I noticed that some of the displayed sites in the show your site section also had the gradient problem that I was trying to solve so I surmised that others are having trouble with that too.
Now that the flex has come out I will probably have to go through the process of messing up and fixing the site again to get the flex incorporated and working properly on the site. But there are some problems on the site that the flex will fix. So I am willing to muddle through it to gain the reward. I went through the same process importing the menu to the site from the menu builder.
I imagine that you could start your menu out making it with RSD on large screens in a horizontal design and switch it to the vertical based design on the lower break points. You could probably do it easier and fancier with the menu builder though.
If you start a new posts on the subject I will follow the reply's with great interest.

Thanks Greg for your reply. I'll look into the menu bar side of things but as I'm working through and starting to try and tidy things up I'm find plenty of other areas where I'm uncertain how to do things!!
For instance, if I add a link to text within a paragraph I can't figure out how to set a link-style for all links within paragraphs?

I do not have any text links in any of my text paragraphs, but I just went to the RSD and opened up the lower paragraph of text and selected a word to change it to a text link. It seems to me that you set the link url for the selected word and then you go down and set its set-able text characteristics; which would be its style. Seems to me that I have the ability to set the style there for each text link that I create. Would seem to depend upon the style of the text that i was changing into a text link from a text word in the paragraph. I was starting with text element, may be different when starting with text link element. All my links so far have been in menu's and buttons.
If I was trying to solve this problem I would do a goggle search for: setting styles for text links in coffee cup responsive site designer. Then you would probably get links to all of the related threads on this forum.

Thanks for replying Since posting I've played more and found the right info in the help files which means I've got it all sussed now - all to do with paragraph-text style settings, just now need to go through the site as it is now and ensure consistency throughout!
Trying to work out why the site changes at different breakpoints - whether it's because I hadn't realised initially that while editing the full width of the screen means using the full width of the screen, not just what you can see - if things like links are set in the widest setting, will they then carry on the same when the site is narrowed for smaller screens/devices? I'm hoping/assuming that's the logic!

It has been my experience that after having read the help section instructions very often questions are not answered and more questions have developed. For instance when you state in your last post that you have it sussed now because you read the instructions ( I had to look up the definition of SUSSED) to only later in the paragraph ask another rudimentary question about the setting of the style's. When you set a style with the slider set to the rt side of the pg or to the rt of your page pixel max size of the pg then, one needs to slowly slide down and look for a break in design. When encountering a break in design to then add a break point and adjust the settings to remedy the problem. One needs to be constantly vigilant as to what element you are currently looking at the settings on. Is best practice to start large and work down to the small when making changes and to check down through the breakpoints with each change. Style changes can effect the rendering and positioning of other break points and sometimes even within the break point that one is currently on.
I opened up the CC coast rsd theme and added a text link to a word "edible" in one of the first paragraphs. I linked it to my old web site sitemap pg. I made it active so it turns into blue color for link indicator. Save those settings or select in the window for setting the link to set it or select those settings. The link is active and working on down through all of the breakpoints. None of the lower breakpoint settings needed any adjusting or changing because all of the style settings were basically the same as to before the text link was added. When changing size or padding or margins or spacing or centering or changing where something is placed on the pg then you can count on the lower breakpoint settings will need to be adjusted to compensate for the new style settings.
Yes things like links: m "carry on the same when the site is narrowed for smaller screens/devices."
You can test things on the free themes and then do not save when closing so they are intact and ready to test other questions on later.
