My New Build Diary

GreatOldOne · #1 10th June 2008, 20:32

Right - I've been mucking about trying to put together a build blog. Here it is:

http://web.mac.com/greatoldone/

The Blog has an RSS feed on it, but I don't think its working just yet... I was dicking around with CNAME stuff to redirect my greatoldone.co.uk domain to my .mac site, and I don't think everything has bottomed out yet. But the diary seems to work. Check it out.

Nice look

Goo-ster

like it

Intro is excellent - can you have a premature mid-life crisis at 25? Cos I think I did

I'll be spending the next ages looking through it

Thanks! I can't take any credit for the look though - it's all iWeb templates.

It's made it all very easy to bolt together though - cut & paste, then hit the big 'publish' button.

Results are very good for a bolt together

I've added you to the link on my site

Thank you...

Just waiting for the DNS to propogate and you should be able to get to it via www.greatoldone.co.uk in future.

Looks like the DNS has worked its way through, and the www.greatoldone.co.uk link is working now. The RSS is also working.

I'll start bunging a links page together and put yours, Robin's & Peter's sites up, along with all the usual 'useful' links.

I've added another builders page - I do hope you guys don't mind me putting your sites on there, along with a purloined pic of your magnum opus.

Patrick · #8 11th June 2008, 17:11

Yup DNS has updated for me too, I'll change the link

Don't mind at all, thanks for adding me

Just took a look at your new site.
Very amusing and great looking layout.

Hmmm - something seems to be wrong with my blog pages - for some reason, a whole load of them hae the title misplaced, so it's touching the main text. I can't for the life of me work out why, as the templates are all exactly the same.

They all seem to be ok to this entry here:

http://www.greatoldone.co.uk/Site/Bu..._Valve....html

But the from the next entry on

http://www.greatoldone.co.uk/Site/Bu...d_earlier.html

It's squished up against the text.

Anybody got any ideas? I'm not a web expert, and all the code / html on the site has been generated by iWeb - so I haven't got a clue as to what's going on behind the scenes!

I've had a quick look but the HTML behind that gave me a headache!

Try putting in a line break (<br />) or two at the start of the para, that'll give it a bit more room to breath

GreatOldOne · #12 29th June 2008, 21:27

I think it's sorted out now - I've duplicated each of the affected pages, deleted the offending one and republished. It looks ok in Safari my end - can someone take a quick look in IE & Firefox?

Patrick · #13 30th June 2008, 07:50

All the pages I've looked at so far look fine, FF3 on Mac
