Reinstalling would be good. Also contact support---they may be able to help.

Desparately need help!! Filezilla

That's difficult to say, as an update to Sandvox or to the design you are using might require a complete upload (which is why you need to get the Sandvox publishing working: it takes care of that aspect for you). At the moment, to be on the safe side, I'd reload the whole caboodle (assuming, of course, that there is such a word).

Vertical iphone video

I exported the movie to the desktop - then dragged it onto my photo album page. I used the dimensions of the movie shown in 'get info' current size for the sandvox metrics & IT'S PERFECT! Thanks for the help. JimK - you are my superhero!

Publishing to GoDaddy

Automatters,

The good news is that you can go to Karelia's site and download a trial of Sandvox and try it. The trial will only publish up to 5 pages (I believe), but otherwise will be fully functional. My advice to you is:

1. Download Sandvox and install it on your computer.
2. Create a simple front page that's different than your current site. Don't do any more work on your site in Sandvox.
3. See if you can configure it to upload to your site on GoDaddy. If you need help, contact Karelia support or come here. If you're successful—you've conquered the first issue of configuration.
4. Reload your original site (if you need it online).
5. Run the Sandvox extraction tool and see what you get. I promise you it won't be perfect, but it'll probably give you a base to work from
6. Start to build your site in Sandvox and see what you think of the software. If you like it, purchase it and the 5 page limitation will go away.

The questions regarding transferring from your current site to Sandvox concern custom functionality that you might have that Sandvox doesn't replicate. But if you're just simply working with text and images, you should be in pretty good shape. Sandvox doesn't do tables natively, so if you had a huge amount of table based stuff, you might be disappointed. But I'd suggest that you try it and see if you like the gestalt.

With regards to Squarespace, I'm not sure about negatives. Sometimes browser based web applications are a little clunky compared to native client applications (like Sandvox). Squarespace probably is a bit more expensive than what you're paying for GoDaddy, and if you've prepaid for a while, you'd lose that chunk of money if you switched (I'm assuming that you have to host with Squarespace, and I don't actually know if that's true).

Any Problems Publishing to Lunarpages

dummy@example.com (ARFunk) — Fri, 17 May 2013 16:18:06 +0000

I'm new to Sandvox, but I've been a Lunarpages user for several years. It was extremely easy to publish to my Lunarpages account, and my site (arfunk.com) looks good - at least to me. I converted it to an included design a couple of weeks ago, and changed to the Lithium design yesterday.

Publishing confusion

dummy@example.com (macdafydd) — Tue, 14 May 2013 17:11:42 +0000

Just hit the Publish button. Sandvox works out what needs to be republished: this might be more than you imagine, depending on the sorts of changes you have made and if, for example changes have also occurred within the design itself.

Publishing Sandvox with Network Solutions: Error Messages

Can you be more specific about the problem you're experiencing?

Publishing progress window.

dummy@example.com (Esa) — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 05:51:11 +0000

Though I knew it had to be something very simple, this was way to simple. I've tried that before but not succeeded, maybe I was just too busy. Now it's ok.
Thanks!

1&1 host document root?

dummy@example.com (JAK) — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 19:43:49 +0000

Hi Jim
Thanks for that. I am getting really fed up with this and going backwards! The sandvox side of things looks good as far as I can tell and matches your example. I think the problem is with one and one but I could not get any sense out the help desk this morning. I will try again tomorrow. Thanks again and I am sure I will get there one day.

Sandvox keeps uploading complete site

dummy@example.com (Cooper) — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 19:59:40 +0000

My site (about 150 pages) started uploading the complete site last fall as well. One line in the body of one page would lead to the entire site reloading. One day a few weeks ago Sandvox crashed and I clicked on send report. Voila, it stopped uploading everything and now does only the changes. Go figure!

Trying to setup host (Hostgator), fault on Sandvox side.

Kat,

Congratulations! Glad you're up and running.

Printing a Sandvox Web site

dummy@example.com (nolanscott) — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 02:39:09 +0000

Do a “screen-grab” from your website “shift / command+4” (Mac), and print from there...
