My template website FAQs page was getting unwieldy, needed to be sortable, plus I wanted a place for people to be able to comment, share ideas, or ask questions — so, a blog it is!
I mainly customize Weebly.com website/blog templates, but also work with GoDaddy.com's WebsiteTonight template feature for a rather complicated site and will do my best to help out. So here are answers to questions you may have/solutions to situations you may run into. They worked for me, I hope they work for you. Please feel free to ask questions and share info with the followers of this blog. * * As you will understand, this page is solely meant to be helpful. Please take caution when you are working on your sites. While I take great care to be accurate, I am not responsible for problems caused by following these suggestions, whether they are my own or another's input. There is no claim of infallibility here. If there was, I wouldn't be able to offer any info at all. * * I'm not reimbursed or paid in any way by Weebly or GoDaddy. _Not exactly. You can't download an archive of the site to your computer, but GoDaddy does back up your site when you first publish it, for later versions if you select that feature when you are publishing a change to the site online, or when you select MANAGE>BACKUP/RESTORE, enter a name for the backup and click SAVE WEBSITE. (Do back it up!) Make a backup of your existing, even messed-up site before restoring, just in case.
Complete restore: if you have a disaster, GoDaddy lets you restore your site completely from one of up to five backups, however there is no way to select just one page or block to restore using this function. Partial restore: this workaround is especially helpful if you've messed up just one block (or just a few) while doing major changes to your site, but it needs to be done carefully . . .. |
SIRI WEBER FEENEY
Due to elder care issues, I am not able to respond to questions, as I am concentrating on working on existing clients' updates and further projects.
I apologize to those who wrote in and weren't posted. I kept thinking I'd be able to respond and wasn't. Please read the existing posts for answers and don't forget to check the comments. Several related issues were covered within the comments and there are good suggestions from commenters, as well. Also, with the new Weebly interface formatting, click around and you'll find what seems to be all the old features behind visually simplified icons. So, for example, when wishing to change a page type (no header, tall header, etc.), click PAGES, click the page's name in the list, and you'll get all the different types to choose from. If you're really stuck, you can also call Weebly at 1-844-493-3259, also check out Weebly's blog, Weebly tutorials on YouTube and, if you're adventuring into coding, w3schools.com is terrific. Thank you, ~ Siri Follow me:
My clients tend to be owners of small businesses, writers, illustrators, and artists who need to update their sites frequently.
A template site is easy to update. It frees you from having to depend on someone else to make changes. When someone asks what I'd recommend, these days I say. . . "Switch over to a template website and customize the theme to get rid of the cookie-cutter look." Categories
