Hey gang.

I'd like to ask some folks that already have an @C3VRMail.com account to try creating their own website by going to C3VR's Google Sites:


You'll log in just like you do to your C3VRMail.com account, then click the "Create A New Site" button to get started.
Just follow the on-screen prompts and instructions.  Click the Help link for more help if needed.  I can not help you with this, as it is not my product.  So, please just use the Help on the Google Sites pages.

If you get your own site up and running, post the URL in this thread.  My test site looks like this:


If people find this works well for them, I will put it in the Member Pages section of C3VR.com (which has been "Coming Soon" for a LONG time.

Thanks!

[QUOTE=Adam Wartell] Did you find it easy to use?[/QUOTE]

Did you really just ask ME that?!?!?LOL LOL
If a light switch didn't have "Off" and "ON" printed on it, I wouldn't know if it was off or on....

I can't really say...I don't have a lot of time right now to play with it, nor do I really know what to do with it. I did load a pic, tho...don't know how to find it yet, but it's in there!
The concept looks nice, tho...this may be just what some of the folks have been waiting for around here. Thanks for getting it started.  I'll put some more time into it this evening...gotta head back to the dungeon for now...Ouch

LOL

IT appears that anyone that wants to "visit" my site will have to be logged into their C3VRmail account? Or just ME? I'll play some more later....

Hey guys,
you need to make sure you make your site public.
Here's how:

When you are editing your site, click "Manage Site" on the "More Actions" menu on the top-right.
Click "Sharing" on the left side under "Site Settings"
In the "Advanced Permission" box, make sure "Anyone in the world may view this site" option is selected.

If you don't do this, only people with C3VRMail.com accounts can see it, and they must log in first to do so.

I don't know that I want just anyone in the world to see mine yet...it's a bit embarrassing at this point, especially compared to Spielman's! I'm learning as I go, and I've added some stuff. Still not sure how to do some things, but a little more time will help. I'm a dufus when it comes to crap like this, but I think it'll get easier as I go.

Well here's my contribution so far. I used a template which was actually a copy of someone else's site and it was a lot of work to clean it up. Can't figure out how to get rid of the affiliations and make my video links look like live urls....but cool so far - I'm really a rookie at this...

The fact that you guys can put these together in a short time is a good indication of how easy it is.

It took me a few tries to get the size right on mine also..I put it on and saved it and it was really blurry..maybe we could set up a thread that would show people how we did it and the steps taken to make it easier to do..for people that don't really know anything about it.
Thanks Adam

Hey Adam I know it's late but I think there is something wacky here..I checked out the lukesters test site and the edit functions were present at the top of the screen..I did click on edit page and it would let me do so IF I chose to do so..I don't know how I am getting these words side ways but my phone is on 0 memory..my site does the same thing but I figured since I am signed in as me it would let me edit the site??  Do we have something setup wrong?  I don't want someone being able to do things to the site like I could have to Pauls..see what you find..
Thanks Boss

You can set permissions on the sites so that the C3VR members are set as "Collaborators", which means the C3VR members w/e-mail account can "edit", or help out each other. So far, I haven't seen any way to dis-able this function...you have either a "Collaborators only" setting, or "Anyone who can view this site"...Geek

Been working on this (not ready to go public yet).  Overall, yes, it's not too hard to get it going, but as far as getting it just right, well that's another story.  I don't have a Picasa account (guess I'll need one), so I've had to load photos one by one.  I load them to one page on my site to use, but I then need to load them again if I want them on another page.  I like that I can resize how pictures are diplayed on a page, but not that the aspect ration doesn't lock.  Also, I have at least one place where I want to align images differently than the template I'm using shows, and that is not easy.
 
Adam, is there an on-line (or even book version) tutorial that helps with some of these "picky" issues of mine?  I do like this and am excited about putting a few more "tweaks" before I'll make mine public (maybe T-day weekend).  Looking forward to seeing more people do the same thing, with an easy link from the "User Pages" menu!
 
Just checked the library and found "Google Sites and Chrome for Dummies."  Now on hold for me. 
 
Thanks for pointing us in the direction of this cool tool Adam
