Re: cant publish site

Publishing is nothing more than the act of uploading your web pages and support files to your web site. Your web site is "published". I can see your template on your site when I use your URL.

When you select a template, you can choose to download it to your local PC, or upload it directly to your web site. When it's downloaded to your PC, you can use any number of applications to edit your pages, and the upload them to your web site when they are ready. You might want to try this link to my help page on Working With Bravenet Templates. The page on Template Editing has links to several good free web page design applications.

If you are working on-line, you can edit your template page(s) from the editors in the File Manager. If you open the template in the Visual or Text editor, make changes, and then save your changes, your changes are immediately available to the internet. From the File Manager, saving is "publishing". Templates only come with one main page. To create multiple pages, just use the File Manager to make copies of the main page, using different file names. Then adjust the navigation links to match the names of the pages. Make sure that all of your pages have a ".htm" or ".html" extension.

If you view your web site and do not see the changes right away, force 2 or 3 browser refreshes (F5 or Ctrl-R) so that your browser updates it's cache.
