Finished My First Xara Site - feedback please and some probllems still

**doane** · 23 April 2018, 04:40 AM

Would like some feedback on this site; it's my first site using Xara 15 Premium. It's a sub domain of my main site which I have yet to redo. This one on the artist, Elizabeth Lochrie, isn't completely finished, but is done enough that I uploaded it.

lochrie.doanehoag.com

I'm still having a few problems:

When I dxport the site to a folder on my computer it works fien, but when I publish the site it uploads all the files and images, etc. to the index_html_files folder, but it doesn't upload any of the htm page files into the E_Lochrie main folder which is under my public_html folder. That E_Lochrie folder is a sub domain of doanehoag.com and is pointed to when lochrie.doanehoag.com is entered. For some reason I have to upload all the page htm files using my host filemanager program to the E_Lochrie folder.

Another problem I ran into... I have a couple of text links to anchors on my other pages that are about half way down those pages. When viewed, it takes you to the anchor location, but you then cant' get all the way back up to the top of the page and the menu bar.

Also Not sure how I can use groups to save on file sizes as I don't completely understand where they should be used.

Terrific site. I added a link to your url to make it easier for the members to see it.

I think you need to link your sub folder to public_html/E_Lochrie

Spotted a spelling mistake on the home page. Expidition should be expedition.

Miko: Thanks a lot, will correct it.

Gary: Thanks! Not sure how to link the subfolder E_Lochrie to the main Public_html folder... In the Xara settings for publishing I already have public_html/E_Lochrie in the sub folder (optional) slot... does that need to be something different for the path to it?
Also, I have http://lochrie.doanehoag.com/index.htm in the website ULR slot used for a sitemap?

Very nice site Doane.

One small suggestion is you have underlined headers & sub-headers. Often the underline doesn't extend the length of the text line. Personally I avoid underlines unless they are links. If you do want an underline, create a decorative one yourself or download one from the content catologue.

This is how I'd set up the sub-folder. You've already done this, you can visit the site using the url http://doanehoag.com/E_Lochrie/

doane - I would do it like Egg has pictured. But if you have tried this and it does not work, then contact support at your web host and see what they suggest.

I have an artists site I host and every artist's gallery is in a sub folder. I link public_html/artists-name and this works. But every web host has different ways of doing things.
