]]> comdot? Fri, 3 Jul 2009 19:36:14 GMT sam http://forum.moonfruit.com/_comment/1088784 Why is Comdot called Comdot?

]]> Just another reminder of... http://www.moonfruit.com/support.html Fri, 3 Jul 2009 16:34:05 GMT comdot http://forum.moonfruit.com/_comment/1088578 Please read and ashere to the following when using this forum:

These are the Rules:

1. Be nice: Questions and comments are created by people not just a keyboard. People have feelings. Even if you disagree with someone, you must keep your tone civil, respectful and reasonable.

2. Keep on topic: Please keep discussions relevant to each topic and avoid multiple topic posts. And if heated debate ensues, please see Rule 1.

3. Don't Spam: Show restraint with your posting frequency and your comments. Again, please refer to Rule 1. Everyone is trying to be creative, be good at what they do, and enjoying the web building experience but monopolising the forum can be distracting.

4. Tolerance: We are all students and teachers and people learn best when encouraged. Some folk don't read FAQ or Guides and prefer to ask. They should not be 'flamed' for asking simple questions. If in doubt, refer to Rule 1.

5. Respect Staff: Comdot is not perfect. Comdot cannot work miracles. Comdot are (the entire Support team post as Comdot) users just like you and we do try hard to assist those who need help. Comdot would prefer to answer technical questions (and criticism when we deserve it) than moderate this forum. We would also like to point you to Rule 1.

So please, for the sake of the entire community, I would ask ALL users to abide by these Rules and restrict themselves to posting useful, contributory, postive comments.

Thanks - Comdot

Fri, 3 Jul 2009 15:44:01 GMT wags http://forum.moonfruit.com/_comment/1088525 i think the most important issue with the lewis posting bluntness or rudeness is mostly damaging too moonfruit as a lot of first time users try out the free version to see if its worth using a paid version, so getting a rude comment the first time they use this forum could potentially put customers off paying for moonfruit services an try someone else.

Now, everytime someone decides to have their ego bruised, and fill this forum with YET AGAIN another "get rid of Lewis" post (I actually find that more destructive to these forums by the way. It's called spam.) can we just copy and paste Steves post and be done with it, please?

Cheers. xx

]]> Re: LEWIS... why ??? http://www.stephenbrownphotography.co.uk Fri, 3 Jul 2009 09:33:23 GMT SteveB http://forum.moonfruit.com/_comment/1088095 I think there's a difference between form and content. Lewis's form is indeed a little off-putting, and does sometimes cross the boundary between robust delivery and gratuitous insult. On the other hand, almost everything he says, especially about web design, makes absolute sense, and anyone genuinely wanting to increase the impact of their site and rid it of superfluous tat would do well to listen closely to Lewis's opinions.

So I would not support any censorship of him or his views, and whilst it might be nice to see examples of Lewis's own design principles in action, he's made it very clear that he's not going to provide them. So what? It's perfectly possible for someone to know how to do something, but not actually be able to do it themselves. Or it maybe that Lewis has great examples but chooses not to trumpet them. Either way, anyone can take the prinicples Lewis has repeatedly outlined and apply them to their own site without having to see the master at work. So frankly if anyone has decided not to read what Lewis says because they're too busy getting counselling for their bruised ego, well, that's their loss. I don't see why the rest of us should be deprived of good advice on their account.

The bandwidth limit is a global (across all your sites) limit for downloads , and is calculated daily, so in your example of 60 GB, you would have a daily limit of about 2 GB. If someone downloads a 250 MB file, then there is 1.75 GB remaining for downloads within the next 24 hour period.

If you are comfortable in both environments then maybe you create a site with two (or more) channels (or one or more sites to avoid confusion): one quirky, one buttoned up. I guess however you would have a preference and an aptitude for one or the other. Go with what's comfortable, unless the other one offers the opportunity for much more money, in which case be prepared to be bored, very bored.

Did you maybe put a ‘login box’ on the video page, but it’s hidden behind something else?

You can login to your ACCOUNT (not site) up above, and from inside your account you can select ‘Edit Site’ and try to find your login box (or add a login page/box).

]]> Re: LEWIS... why ??? http://www.sellyourgamertag.net Fri, 3 Jul 2009 05:19:11 GMT DysonXP http://forum.moonfruit.com/_comment/1087951 omg, I have been waiting for someone to make this post for ages, Lewis, is disturbing the moonfruit forum, beginners who try out the free version of site maker, will have low amount of knowledge using the package, so they come on to the forum asking for experienced help, and all they get are unnecessary remarks from Lewis, which could put them off purchasing any higher package, if they aren’t getting the proper help they need, to feel confident with moonfruit.

It would be great to see if anyone else feels the same about Lewis, perhaps knock some sense into Lewis, that he is effecting more than just the forum

]]> Moonfruits bandwith http://www.sellyourgamertag.net Fri, 3 Jul 2009 01:12:38 GMT DysonXP http://forum.moonfruit.com/_comment/1087853 I am thinking of making a site, where a group of people can share files, but I am unfamiliar in this area.

Moonfruit’s Bandwidth, is that how much can be download from your site, Say I have the best package and it offers me 60GB a month, is that 60GB per site, or 60GB for all your sites,

Does the 60GB mean, a download limit, so if someone wanted to download a 250mb file, I would have 59.750 GB's left.

Or does it mean something to do with how much can be downloaded at one time

Any help or someone’s experiences with lots of downloads on multiple sites, would be greatly appreciated.

What are the keywords in your meta tags? When you've checked that, you'll see why your ads are going to be 'general' and not specifically targetted to your site's contents. Yes, this is also relevant to SEO techniques, of course - but if you read around a little bit you'll come to learn how you have to write your copy (and use SEO-type techniques) to encourage the type of advert you want.

Why do you have to be so insolent to a person who is simply asking a question..... and your end remark saying " do you want to be spoonfed". If you dont want to assist on this forum, dont bother answering. Plenty of new members are joining Moonfruit and yes, some dont read the tutorials, and others ask questions that have been on many times, but if i was a newbie and got the answer you just gave them, well...... dont think i would bother to back to the forum.

Once google know what your site is all about, they will gradually put ads on that pertain to your information on your site. As long as you have done your metatags and keywords properly to each page, gradually it will be sorted. If unsure about keywords etc, put a topic on here asking for mamestar, he will assist you , he knows everything about this and will set you right, hope this helps you.
