Room At The Bottom

[sonoferin]

I have my site assembled and background in place all looking great.
On the old site (I designed in NOF) I had a gap below for address and copyright notice. see here..
I cant seem to figure out how to extend the bottom past the pasteboard.
When I move the dotted line it moves the white panel.

Any Help greatly appreciated as usual

Well Erin's Son, you can't.
You can cheat.
I am assuming your site has the same page length throughout; if not, a tad more effort will be involved.

Make a Box the width and depth of the part you want and place at the bottom of the page.
Set the Fill Tool to Bitmap and select your background image.
Stretch and drag it so it matches the background exactly.
Set the Box to a repeating object.
Add your copyright and site details as required, also as repeating objects.

If the pages are differing lengths, make the above Live copies and manually reposition.

Here's is another approach (from Boy) that may also assist: http://xara-users.info/board/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=909.

When I move the dotted line it moves the white panel.

Unlock the page background layer and then drag the page rectangle bottom upwards.
Re lock the page background and add your footer text on the mouseoff layer.

Take care not to drag the dotted blue line again otherwise it will return to the default state.

You might also want to change the title for your home page from index to something more descriptive.

In Website Properties > Page (when you are on your home page) change the text for Title to something more descriptive of your site.

Also do this for in the Website tab to a generic title for the whole site.

This will help the search engines determine the content of your site.

sledger, thank you for pointing out the obvious.
It's amazing how one can forget the simple stuff.
