Comment on Move Over SiteBuilder Here comes Plus by Sid

Used Sitebuilder plus and hate it. In order to edit Text no longer can we see the graphics, making placement difficult. Only one page at a time where before we could open several and just click back and forth to go between pages. This is only two of many problems with plus.

Comment on Help With SiteBuilder Program for Intuit – Homestead Users by sjhwd

Scott – I’m confused. There is no password/login required for this blog or the Homestead Connection Forum. If you are talking about the SiteBuilder program itself, the site owner can provide you with the log in information and then you simply sign in as per usual. If that doesn’t do the trick then you might try giving Homestead or Intuit a call – they should be able to assist you. 1-800-710-1998

The best and most inexpensive way to research keywords is simply by using Google's Adword Tool. You need a Google account to access, but that is simply a matter of signing up.

Juanita I’m not quite sure what you mean by ‘the web address keeps changing’. Your web address is nannasnewsandsales.com That is your index page or Home as you have it set up in the navigation. When you go to a different page the address will change to reflect that specific page such as, nannasnewsandsales.com/Store.html or nannasnewsandsales.com/About_Us.html, but the main web site address always stays the same nannasnewsandsales.com

Hi Herman!
I’m afraid you have us confused with Homestead-Intuit. While we have sites, this blog and a Forum that focus on the SiteBuilder program and offer help to those who use it, we aren’t on their payroll.

When you create your slideshows with SCR you upload the photos to that program, it then creates a file that contains the images. So when you upload the file to SiteBuilder the photos are already there. The program (SCR) compresses the photos which is why you would see a smaller file size for the file vs what the photos would weigh if you uploaded them without optimizing them first.

Hopefully you’ll get the same answer from Tech Support when you call them!

Best Regards,
Susan
Homestead Connection

I have several SCR Sllide Shows on my site and have the following question: In the past I have always uploaded all the photos contained in each Slide Show, however I noticed today that a very large Slide Show SCR file was uploaded, published, but I forgot to upload the photos. To my surprise when I asked a few of my contacts to view my site and click to view the show, it loaded and viewed perfect. I have plenty of space available, but do I really need to upload the photos. It’s odd that the SCR file was about 25mb and total mb of all the photos is about 100mb. If I do not need to upload the photos, then I will just delete the photos and leave the SCR file there. If I have any changes to the show, I would just create the show again and uploade. Thanks for your help. BTW, Your Customer Service is tops and all the reps always have an answer. I will call customer Service later if necessary. I’m posting this message just in case it takes me a long time to reach a rep by phone tomorrow.

I remember him and all the help that you gave him…I ran across some of his U-tube tutorials and to say the least was not at all impressed. I was kind of taken back by looking at his web site that he considers himself an “expert”. His website is amateurish at best and certainly not polished. Let’s hope that anyone truly interested in SEO takes a good look and realizes he doesn’t know what he is doing…..

Certainly sounds like the same person! Sad isn’t it that he couldn’t even do a decent job of copying…kinda gives you an idea of just how poor his stuff is.
What really makes me angry is that he is selling this stuff to folks under the guise of being an ‘expert’ and they’re getting bad info which is going to have an adverse effect on their sites.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I swore that once I got this off my chest I was going to be done with it. Maybe tomorrow.
