  1. Hi, Scott...thanks for your response! 

     

    Sorry to sound so clueless (but then i guess i am--it's been years since i first launched my site). Anyway, when you wrote "if you have not propagated... you will have to use the numerical IP address (216.123.456.789) instead of ftp.******."

     

    did you mean my OWN numerical IP? or literally the one above? I used my own, but i'm not sure i entered it in the right window. in any case, i got the same 530 login incorrect message.

     

    Also...do you know the specific name/URL of the tutorial that would explain this? at this point my brain is getting fried, and nothing on TCH's help page seems to look relevant...

     

    anyhow...thanks so much for your help! one of these days i'll grok it...

    all the best, Joan I.

     

    Not sure about Netscape's exact wording but there should be a place requesting the host name (or server, etc). This would be your IP address (I just gave you an example of how it would look; e.g. 216.123.456.789).

     

    You need your Account Name (or login, etc). This would be: yourname.com

     

    Then you would need your password. That is really the only three pieces of information required.

     

    Sorry I can not be more specific... I just do not know the exact windows you are looking at.

     

    Good Luck.

  2. Okay, then what can I do to keep a background image in the <td> area? I looked in my book for this and it shows "BACKGROUND" as a usable attribute.
    I sense your frustration but venders include attributes that are not standard.

     

    From HTML source (reference to table data element; <td>):

     

    Background: This nonstandard attribute, which is supported by Internet Explorer, Netscape and WebTV, specifies the URL of a background image for the table cell.

     

    So, must think of an alternative. Can you put the image in the table background and then change the 'other' table data cells to solid color(s)?

  3. Musicfrisk:

     

    Do me a favor (maybe you already did) but give me the link to the pages that actually links to your site (will save me some time; if these are just let me know).

     

    The first one I looked at (http://www.tommyemmanuel.com/tommy.htm ) is not a 'real' link.

     

    ><a href=# onclick="javascript:window.open('http://www.musicfrisk.com/picture/interview/tommy.emmanuel.fingerstyle.02.14.2003.php','News',
    'status=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no,scrollbars=yes,scrollb
    rs,resizable=yes');" style="text-decoration: none">

     

    B) no credit given (i.e. a spider does not pursue a javascript link).

     

    I did not look at the rest, but I will if you give me the exact pages.

     

     

    Having said that, you still are not in the Google Index. You are not being penalized, you are just in that waiting period before you actually get indexed. I know you do not want to hear this... but you need to be patient. During this time, collect as many receprical links as possible.

     

    A side note (which is actually important relative to the spiders; they do not like broken links): you have a couple of bad image links on your home page:

     

    <img src="/picture/photo.pix/tommy.emmanuel.02.13.2003/images/te4.jpg" width="180" height="144">

     

    and

     

    <img src="/picture/images/3-Doors---Chris-Henderson.jpg" width="180" height="144">

  4. Sorry, I meant to address this earlier today... I forgot :huh:

     

    If someone is direct linking to your image it would be html code like this:

     

    ><img src="http://www.yourwebsite/images/agreatshot.jpg" width="512" height="423">

     

    Now, sense you are 'hotlinked protected', instead of getting 'agreatshot.jpg' they will get your 'no-linking.png' graphic. However, it will still occupy the designated area (width="512" height="423").

     

    Make sense?

  5. If all you links are consistant (e.g. forum/whatever), why couldn't you just do one global change?

     

    Replace <a href="forum to <a href="/forum

     

    The second defines that the path should come off the root.

  6. Scott, I was assuming that if you couldn't get to the second window (because all clicks close it, and hence you wouldn't see the source code). How did you see the source code to identify the file? Unless of course you look at the first file source code which gives the name of test2, then you can open test2 directly, and the Java script doesn't work - more work needed .... 

     

    Exactly.

     

     

     

    Dogbert:

     

    Everyone understands a right click Save Picture As... what we are asking is did you click on the first image and open the second window (larger image) and still get a right click? Do you have javascript enabled on your browser?

  7. Regarding Alexa.com's toolbar (from their own pages):

     

    ALEXA'S TOOLBAR SERVICE COLLECTS AND STORES INFORMATION ABOUT THE WEB PAGES YOU VIEW, THE DATA YOU ENTER IN ONLINE FORMS AND SEARCH FIELDS, AND, WITH VERSIONS 5.0 AND HIGHER, THE PRODUCTS YOU PURCHASE ONLINE WHILE USING THE TOOLBAR SERVICE. ALTHOUGH ALEXA DOES NOT ATTEMPT TO ANALYZE WEB USAGE DATA TO DETERMINE THE IDENTITY OF ANY ALEXA USER, SOME INFORMATION COLLECTED BY THE TOOLBAR SERVICE IS PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE. ALEXA AGGREGATES AND ANALYZES THE INFORMATION IT COLLECTS TO IMPROVE ITS SERVICE AND TO PREPARE REPORTS ABOUT AGGREGATE WEB USAGE AND SHOPPING HABITS.

     

    IN ADDITION, WHEN YOU PERFORM SEARCHES USING THE SEARCH FUNCTION AVAILABLE ON ALEXA'S TOOLBAR SERVICE SOFTWARE VERSION 6.5 AND HIGHER OR ON THE ALEXA WEBSITE, YOU OFTEN WILL BE TAKEN TO A WEBSITE DETAIL PAGE AT AMAZON.COM. IF YOU HAVE AN ACCOUNT ON AMAZON.COM AND AN AMAZON.COM COOKIE ENABLED, YOUR SEARCH RESULTS WILL BE TRANSMITTED TO AND LOGGED BY AMAZON.COM AND MAY BE CORRELATED BY AMAZON.COM WITH ANY PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION YOU MAY HAVE PREVIOUSLY PROVIDED TO AMAZON.COM.

     

    Way too much 'big brother' for me.

  8. Try this:

     

    ><html>
    <head>
    <title>Untitled Document</title>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
    
    <script language="javaScript1.1">
    
    var myimages=new Array()
    function preloadimages(){
    for (i=0;i<preloadimages.arguments.length;i++){
    myimages[i]=new Image()
    myimages[i].src=preloadimages.arguments[i]
    }
    }
    
    preloadimages
    ("http://www.naturalimagesweb.com/Images/horse1.gif","http://www.naturalimagesweb.com/Images/horse2.gif")
    
    </script>
    
    </head>
    <body>
    <table width="600" border="1" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
     <tr>
       <td width="568" height="409" background="Images/horse2.gif"><img src="Images/horse1.gif" width="568" height="409" hspace="4" vspace="1"></td>
       <td> </td>
     </tr>
     <tr>
       <td> </td>
       <td> </td>
     </tr>
    </table>

  9. You really need to create your own graphic ('Remote Linking Forbidden'), it should match the size of your images (assuming you are using consistent size images and height and width attributes [which you should be using]).

     

    Example (if this image is resized, larger or smaller, it will look distorted).

     

    no_linking.png

  10. I just noticed that you have all your images on one page with anchor tags pointing to the various themes.

     

    Food for thought:

     

    You would be much better off if you were to create individual pages for each theme. For several reasons: individual pages would load much quicker; the more content (i.e. pages) the better.

  11. You must be in the middle of doing this... I just added one of your images to this page (the image on the bottom is yours). It appeared originally but now it is blocked, I do not see your redirect image though.

     

    This is a way to test if everything is working.

     

    Good luck.

  12. 1. Urls to Allow Access:

     

    Add any URL's you want to allow access to the images:

     

    e.g. http://www.yoururl.com

     

    2. Extensions to allow (separate by commas):

     

    What I would recommend (not my idea) is to create an image that simple has the text 'Remote Linking Forbidden' or something to that affect and save it as a .png file type.

     

    Then insert jpg,jpeg,gif,bmp into 'Extensions to allow' (this will make sense in step 3). Really this should read 'Extensions to Protect'

     

    3. Url to Redirect to:

     

    Now enter the path to the png file.

     

    e.g. http://www.yoururl.com/hotlink.png

     

    Do not click 'Allow direct requests (i.e. entering the url to an image in your browser)'

     

    Now anyone who tries to hotlink to you will get the Remote Linking Forbidden' graphic.

     

    That is it.

  13. Grub

     

    ... borrowing your computer's spare clock cycles.

     

    Meaning you are contributing the bandwidth and processor time required for crawling the Internet. Now that may not be such a bad idea, what bothers me is that this is LookSmart. LookSmart charges for listings... now does that make sense?

     

    "Ask people to crawl for us and then we will charge for both submission to the index and charge for the rankings ... what a great business model!"

     

    On many levels, I can not stand this company! :) (that is the first time I have used that emoticon, which should tell you something).
