Re: Identifying PUB websites

I rest my case your Honour,
Serif issues fixes so that users do not have to continue fixing
incompatabilities.
Like between RELATED Micro$oft applications that have existed for years and
years.
In fact instead of fixing problems they have recently introduced more and
worse.
Quote IE8 and Nav Bars.
and Centering has been a thorn forever.

But Serif also have to issue patches for things that go wrong with their
web building product!!!....



Serif (Europe) Ltd. is pleased to announce the release of a patch for
WebPlus X2 (build number 11.0.8.033).

The purpose of the patch is to resolve an issues introduced in WebPlus X2
(11.0.7), for which we apologise, with regards to resampling cropped and
rotated images.

We would recommend that ALL users of WebPlus X2 (English) download and
install this patch. To work out if you need this patch choose "About
WebPlus X2" in the help menu and if the version number is 11.0.7.032 or
less then you need this patch.

For a long while I have avoided joining this argument and have always
admired the work DavidF has put into helping novices, some of whom need a
more fundamental education on computers than this forum can provide.
Not everyone can get Pub2000 and in fact most of those needing help have
only recently started out in web design and are restricted to what they
have i.e.. Pub 2007 and more and more people are using IE8.
So to continue peddling patches to PUB of any Version is fairly
fruitless.
There are other WYSIWYG web design programs that do not have the most
common problems that PUB has and do not require any learning of HTML
coding either.
Serif Webplus for instance happily uses master pages and happily centres
the output with no apparent problems with IE7, IE8 or FF3.

You guys perhaps don't realize how much Eric is trying to help you.

Using Publisher to design websites is like using an adz to *square* a
piece of timber to fit in a *round* hole, when a electric wood lathe is
really what you should be using.

You should at least *try* some of the alternatives.

Sorry Don I wasn't intending to knock your web site, or anyone else's
for that matter - just David's rather ill-considered statement about
tools & skill.
Thing is, if you're using a rubbish tool for whatever it is you're
doing, you're always going to be constrained by that tool. And yes,
you can undoubtedly achieve better results by practice and learning
how to better use the tool - but that effort is essentially going to
be wasted when you finally hit the limits of the tool, and a lot of
time and effort could have been saved by getting a better tool in the
first place.
(And that's without even considering the fact that many of the
problems raised here have actually been caused by the tool not working
properly, rather than the user not using it properly!).
The complexity of analogies here though is that in the case of making
good web pages, if you put the effort into learning and understanding
html & css, you won't actually need a 'tool', and many tools can in
fact become more of a hindrance than a help - so it's not just about
price.
Maybe it's like riding a bicycle - when you've learnt how to do it,
you won't need outriders any more and won't fall off and hurt yourself
so much.

Eric,
Each organization that has a website does so for a specific purpose
and how and the quality is dependent on the resources of skill and
finances. I'm the first to admit I'm not an artist or highly skilled
designer (of websites). But my efforts of our Sons of Italy website,
www.vanusa.org is my best effort for, attracting those who wish to
take part in Italian heritage, customs, language and comradery get a
posting of how to contact us. The second, and maybe the most
important use of the site is the User name, Password protected area
which contains current member information, meeting minutes,
announcements and other documents for reference and interest.

So, you may knock our website; you may knock our lodge, but if you
knock mia nonna Apollonia's ravioli, we'll put you in the witness
protection plan. (As Tony Soprano would say)
If you can't identify the humor, you, with the prayers to Saint
Swithins are hopeless. (We use English Saints for the hopeless)

Ciao, mia amico.
