Hi there John,

Unfortunately if you have an auto-redirect it will also redirect from your sitebuilder. You will have to delete the page and re-create one.
If you want to add a new page with an auto redirect here is the code to redirect from your menu: <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2; url=http://webdesign.about.com">

Out of interest are you wanting to add a Smugmug gallery to your page? You can do this with Yola.

1. Drag-and-drop the Smugmug widget onto your page.
2. Click on the "Properties" tab on the right-hand sidebar.
3. Delete the existing URL and replace it with your own from Smugmug (the URL should look something like http://yoursite.smugmug.com/gallery/5...)
4. Click on Apply.

I hope this helps.

jeremy replied on November 19, 2009 06:16 to the question "Adding Google Maps to Blog" in Yola:

Hi there Bengalireview,
You can add a Video to your blog by using the "Embed Code" that YouTube gives you. Click on the HTML button in the tool bar in the post body tools when you are adding a new post and add the embed code there. When you click on HTML again you will see your video.

You can do the same with Google Maps.

You need to get the embed code from the Map (see image)
and then add that to the HTML of your blog post. (again, you do this by clicking on the HTML button in the toolbar)

You will then see your map on your page.

I hope this helps.

Hi there Rob,
I see you had a paragraph tag on the top of your code. <P></P>
I removed this and your code seemed to work perfectly on my test site.
Can you please re-try adding it without the <P></P> and see if it works.

Yola Planned Downtime

Hi there All,

We are going to be having some downtime for a planned release at 2 AM PDT. See here for the time in your timezone: World Clock

We are hoping to have log-ins disabled for as short a time as possible and will keep you updated on our progress.

Many thanks for your patience

Hi there Randy,

Thanks for the great idea. It would be great to have a list of things we are planning on releasing but unfortunately we are unable to commit to exact dates and the order of how our releases will go out.

I will pass your idea along and see what we can do.

A comment on the question "Problems transferring domain name" in Yola:

Good luck Randy. Let us know how it goes and if we can assist you at all. – jeremy, on November 13, 2009 12:47

jeremy replied on November 13, 2009 12:30 to the question "Problems transferring domain name" in Yola:

Hi there Randy,
Your domain host or configuration shouldn't make a difference to your Hostmonster account. As long as you have pointed your domain to Yola correctly your site should work with it.

jeremy replied on November 13, 2009 12:11 to the problem "blog images not viewable" in Yola:

Hi there Tom,

I am sorry you are having this problem. What browser are you using?

I have just checked in both FF and IE 7 on separate machines and your blog seems to be working correctly.

Are you able to view the other pages of your site correctly or are you seeing errors there too?

jeremy replied on November 13, 2009 04:59 to the question "Problems transferring domain name" in Yola:

Hi there Randy,

Unfortunately it is not currently possible to transfer your domain to Yola so that we are your domain registrar. We will be offering this option in the near future.

To publish your site to your own domain, you will need to edit the settings on your domain so that it points to Yola. You will be able to find information on these links:

Publish to a domain you already own

Using a Domain Name not purchased from Yola .

If your domain registrar does not allow you to create or edit the A Records on your domain, you can use the services of ZoneEdit. There is more information available about ZoneEdit on this link.

I hope this helps.

jeremy replied on November 12, 2009 12:58 to the problem "CAN'T LOAD WEB PAGE SO I CAN EDIT" in Yola:

Hi there Ernst,

I see you have recently published your site to kapstadtlodging.org - is this correct?
If you have, then it sometimes happens that Googles "Freshbot" - (Google's daily crawler, which picks up newly-submitted URL's) picks up your site and you get listed quickly.
You can then get dropped off the Google rankings quite easily and hopefully once the main Googlebot crawls your site it will appear in the rankings more consistently.

I hope this helps explain why your site isn't listed.

jeremy replied on November 07, 2009 14:27 to the idea "Yolasite.com is too long for me!! Why not yola.com?!" in Yola:

Hi there Abby.rath13

There are 2 reasons we only offer subdomains with yolasite.com instead of yola.com.

1. To improve network security, the domain yola.com, will be used strictly for our systems that power official yola.com websites.
2. To make it more difficult for fraudsters to create phishing sites with our tools, we need to separate our domain name from those available to our users.

I hope this helps.

jeremy replied on November 06, 2009 04:34 to the question "how can i copy a page?" in Yola:

Hi there Zycorpforever,

If you ever need to copy all the elements of a page, you can quickly do so using the Save As feature. Duplicating a page is also sometimes a wise action to take, before making any significant changes to it. That way you will not have lost any of your work if something goes wrong, or you simply don't like the changes you've made. You can always delete the copy, and your original page will still be there to go back to.

Here's how you do it:

1. Navigate to the page you want to copy
2. On the Yola toolbar, click on the down-arrow next to the "Save" button.
3. Choose "Save Page As"
5. The "Save Page As" dialog box will pop-up asking you to name your new page, (and give you the chance to change the page heading, and decide whether or not to include the new page in your menu).
6. Click "OK" and you're done. The newly created page will now appear up in the Page drop-down arrow of page choices, so you can go back to it again if you chose not to include it in your menu.

I hope this helps.

jeremy replied on November 06, 2009 04:21 to the update "We're doing an upgrade - logins will be disabled for a short time" in Yola:

Yola is back online everyone... Logins have been enabled and we are good to go.

Apologies for the delayed release but we are back up and running now.

jeremy replied on November 05, 2009 07:49 to the question "Can you link to a specific location on a page?" in Yola:

Hi there Mike,

I am not 100% sure about integrating it into a drop-down menu... I don't see why not. As opposed to the text for the menu you will make it the link. Eg: <!-- <a href="#Top">Jump to Top</a>-->

You don't need a "go" button either. The anchor link text can be anything. In the below example "Jump to Top" will be what displays so people will just click on the words.

<!-- <a href="#Top">Jump to Top</a>--> and then the link they jump to will be <!--<a name="Top"></a>--> which will not display at all and you can place anywhere you want people to jump to.

I hope this helps.

jeremy replied on November 02, 2009 10:38 to the question "Google Friend Connect in my posts?" in Yola:

Hi there Gonzalo,

Unfortunately you can't at present add your Google Friend Connect in an actual blog post.

You can however add it below or above your blog posts in a regular HTML widget and it will show up as normal.

To access the regular widgets in the content sidebar click on the "Standard" tab and select your widget.

I hope this helps.
