Hi there,

I just developed my own website using publisher, and all the links etc work perfectly fine when viewed form my desktop. I then uploaded all the files onto zymic and then I viewed the page source of the homepage and copied it into notepad and created an index.html file which I also uploaded onto zymic. However when I use the link to the website, all of the other links work fine except when you click on the "home" tab and it comes up with "404 Page Not Found" message. Can anybody help me as to why I could be getting this problem? Would it perhaps be something to do with the names I have given to the files in publisher? or something else perhaps?

I would very much appreciate your help on this matter

Many thanks

Please never use Publisher (Frontpage and Word should also be avoided) to create another website, you'll be hard pressed to find someone willing to decipher the junk source code these programs produce.

While I'm an advocate of writing source from scratch, a lot of people depend on Dreamweaver, so if you have the money to spare, Dreamweaver might be up your street, try the demo:

Otherwise, there is a free open-source alternative named 'Amaya':

You might still be able to see your images due to viewing it from your home computer and the images actually exist there, I personally cannot see any of your images. This issue lies in the fact the images are linked to a directory which does not contain the images, to rectify this you need to remove that directory in the src properties, a simple search and replace might come up trumps. Once you've sorted those out, that is more than likely where your issue lies to your home link issue.

If I were you, scrap it and build it in something built for webdesign, Publisher is primarily a Desktop Publishing application, it's by no way built for creating websites.

Well I havent even thought of that, yeah so that WYSIWYG type of publisher crap you have made it so that the pages where at like C:\desktop\site\about.html, when it really should just be about.html, i suggest looking into dreamweaver, its a coding beast, i use it but with all the WYSIWYG crap off, everything i do is from the ground up i never depend on dreamweavers code, i just really like the split screen haha :]
