• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Greetings,

I have a website I am trying to build a library for, I'm using Frontpage. My latest difficulty is I want to put a button for the email address so visitors can drop me an email. Frontpage said just put the email address in the link but it doesn't work. It's also tedious since one page is one chapter and I have some large books I want to put on there.

Does anyone have any advice for a novice webmaster that just wants to produce an online library?

Grace and peace,
Mark

Frontpage should do this very easily. First insert the image into the page, then right click it and select "hyperlink" from the menu. On the left hand side, select "email" and enter the details. Easy as that. You should end up with text that looks something like this:

<a href="mailto:me@myweb.com?subject=Email Subject Text"><img alt="alt text for image" height="40" width="400" src="../img/myimage.png" /></a>

I advice that you move away from frontpage and learn either joomla, wordpress or drupal.

Yeah, FrontPage is so last century to be honest. Either use a CMS like the ones mentioned in the above post or learn PHP

Nice thought Mark. Phillip said that is the best way to put button. First insert the image into the page, then right click it and select "hyperlink" from the menu. On the left hand side, select "email" and enter the details. It will works.
Thanks.

Regards,
Online Library

I experimented with Seamonkey and eventually went with Kompozer. I have a wordpress blog and it's fine but I like the background I can use and tables for pics on one side and text on the other. Cooltext is providing buttons and titles so when I get the webpage bug again I won't have to reinvent the wheel.
