Hi Monique,
It's not published cuz when I try to go the site it says my domain is pointing to Yola and tells me the steps to publish it. But those steps aren't available on the site builder. It's http://santacruzecogreen.com/
Thanks!

Publishing Problem

I bought my own domain name through Yola and am ready to publish, but when I click the arrow next to "Upload My Site" and then hit "Publishing Options", publishing under my new domain name isn't one of the options.

Google Apps email forwarding or dual-delivery?

I've started the process of setting up an email account through Google Apps to match my domain name, e.g. info@santacruzhypnotherapy.com.

I think having a matching email looks more professional, but am wondering if it's really worth it. I am just starting out and am concerned about not checking my mail frequently enough due to probably not getting a lot of email for a while. Is there a way to have the email forwarded or delivered both to the Apps email as well as my yahoo one?

Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Cynthia

Great, thanks Emmy!!

Hi Emmy,
I am planning on changing my subdomain to a domain and understand that it will be automatically redirected. However, I know that in a couple of years when I expand the services of my business, I will probably want to change to a different domain name. Is it possible to have an automatic redirect in that situation? If not, what other options are there? This may impact what name I choose now. Thanks!

Is Yola down?

I can't access my website or yola.com. Yikes! Any word on when it wil be up again? I want to refer a client to my site, but not if it isn't working!

Couldn't you republish the site under the new name, then build a simple page under the old name with a link to the new site? I have the same issue.

KK,
I recently launched a business designing websites for others using Yola. I'm not sure that I have the skill set you would require, but here is my web design website and another I made using Yola.

I hear that Yola is in the process of launching the Yola Experts program for designers, which should help consumers such as yourself find people who offer the services you're looking for. Good luck!

Thanks, that helped a lot, but craigslist wouldn't let me paste the image and there is no "add image" option in the services section. But I finally figured it out using HTML! This is what I did:

Clicked F11, then Alt + Print Screen (as recommended by Frostbytez above)
pasted into Microsoft Publisher and saved as JPEG
uploaded the image to Photobucket.com
right clicked on the image, clicked Properties, copied address
went to craigslist and opened a new posting
pasted the image address between the 1st set of quotes in this HTML:

<
img src=" "border="0">
(the < above can go next to the img, I just had to do it that way here so it would appear as text rather than be read as an image)

And voila!
Thanks for the support! I hope this may help someone else too. It was a hassle to figure out, but now will only take a minute and makes a huge difference on the add. The following website helped and also explains how to create a clickable image in a craigslist ad, maybe my next adventure:

Hi John,
Thanks for replying. I tried taking a screen shot, but it includes the address bar, blue title bar, etc at the top, which I was hoping to avoid. It might not be a good idea anyway because it seems to scrunch everything down into a smaller image. I think there is a way to convert HTML to jpg, but probably requires buying some software or something. Not sure if that would work with Yola anyway (e.g. copying the HTML by clicking Properties). I still would like to somehow figure out how to get something a little more eye-catching on craigslist than just words and a photo. Hmm.

I didn't realize there were small business listings on craigslist. I'll have to check that out. I just published my site today so I'm very excited about it!

How do I post a picture of my webpage on Craigslist?

I want to advertise on craigslist by posting an actual image of my home page. Anyone know if there's a way? Thanks!

cynthia b replied on August 23, 2008 07:12 to the question "Need CAPS for Title" in Yola:

Here's how I got around this limitation of my template style.
Click on properties on the right and where it says Page Heading enter:

this text is capitalized

Where it says "this text is capitalized" put whatever your page heading is. I think you will need to write this all out and then copy and paste it in all at once. This will capitalize all the letters. I even used this to just capitalize the first letter of each word of my page. Say the heading is Creative Website. It would be:

Creative Website

I hope this helps. Good luck!

cynthia b replied on August 17, 2008 19:53 to the question "Can I make a blogging website?" in Yola:

I think this is a fabulous idea and I'm so glad to know synthasite is working on this. I don't know much about blogs, but I think I would like to start one at some point. I'm also curious about having a mailing list. Would the blog feature also allow us to have a mailing list so that if people wanted it they would be emailed of new blog entries or website changes? And then I could do so more or less automatically?

Satisfied with Synthasite?

Hi, I am in the process of building a very extensive website on Synthasite. I've never made one before, but am very pleased so far with how professional it looks. However, the past couple of days I've had a lot of problems with it. Today I logged on and my home (index) page was blank and wasn't even my template. I'm hoping this will get resolved, but I'm just wondering how happy others have been with Synthasite. I hate the thought of putting all of this time into it and not being able to count on it looking right when potential customers look at it. Also, is there any danger of losing my work once it's saved on Synthasite? Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Also, is there some way to browse other people's Synthasite websites? I'd love to see what's out there. Thanks!

Any way to widen The Spring template?

I am using The Spring template (red flowers across top) and when I look at it in the preview window it only takes up about the middle half of the screen. The rest is gray around it. I have a wide screen monitor so it may be more pronounced than on a regular screen, but I was wondering if there is any way to fix this? This seems to be the only template that is like this, but I REALLY like this one (besides this problem) and have done a lot of work on it already. Thanks!
