Need some help... - 5/17/2002 9:08:28   
I just used Frontpage for the first time and LOVE it. I am trying to publish it thought and it doesn't seem to be working. I did publish some of it last week and it worked just fine. Now, I click publish and it appears to be doing it and it says at the end its complete. When I go to my site on geocities the links on the first page are not there so you can't even look at any other pages to see if any of it published. Any ideas on why it would say it published but it doesn't seem to have done that?

thanks
Christy

what kind of links are they? shared borders, custom nav bars, buttons? what version of FrontPage?

geocities has the extensions and frontpage but they limit some of the features.

also can you provide a URL?

We have seen consistent complaints on this site about Geocities and FP extensions. Try using another host if you want to use FP.

Even though i am still very much of a newbie, i published two pages and couldn't see the pages or changes that I made.

The first time, i had no idea there was a delay when you publish and when you see the changes - - i thought it was instant.

For example, with yahoo there was a 20 min delay for when it said published and went to the brower and saw my changes.

I also published with geocities and had trouble publishing with front page extensions so I connected via the FTP server.
I think this is their other method.

Christy, Liza -

there was another post in server issues talking about free hosts and tripod seemed to be the concensus. http://www.frontpagewebmaster.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=15061

nonetheless, tripod and geocities will put advertising up when someone visits your site. You can get pretty decent hosting for 5 - 7$ a month and save yourself a lot of time and frustration.

Christy, it sounds like you may have to "dumb down" your links to see them. In other words, use a basic text or graphic link. Avoid themes, shared borders, nav bars, yikes!

Liza, you should see the changes within a couple of minutes or faster. Please note that FTP can damage the FrontPage extensions and then other things may not work.

I bet if you looked around these forums you could get a good web host...
