I'm wondering if it's best to originate in something like a 1x1 or 9x16 aspect instead of 16x9

You could... , but then smarter people (like myself) would rotate the phone to view a full screen version, and be disappointed that it does rotate but remains the same 1:1 format. LOL

Pleasing smart ...

brianluce

My assumption is most don't bother to rotate the phone and just hold it in portrait mode. So I'm wondering if it's best to originate in something like a 1x1 or 9x16 aspect instead of 16x9.

brianluce

If you're shooting video that's 99% for viewing on mobile phones, what's the ideal aspect ratio? Many sites say 16:9 but mobile devices mainly display in portrait mode. Please help

beautiful

This is appealing to me, because of the translation feature. I need it. However your link has a register/login requirement and it doesn't work. This is starting off on the wrong foot.

As @crispy had said is true. Some of us are becoming experts not because we watch more videos but because we have a passion for website building and attentive to learning from out sources and even if it is a text posts from @pablo. There are times when even a hint is enough for us and there are ...

The WYSIWYG aspect of the software doesn't work well for me. What I "see" on the canvas is different from what I "get" in preview. For example if I put some text below a photo, sometime the text is on TOP of the photo when I hit preview. Solutions?

Did you notice? Greg Hughes sounds like Joe Rogan.

@brian,

What particular topics would you like to see covered? WB has so many options that it would be virtually impossible to cover every option/topic. I have made a few myself and plan on making more so ideas are welcome.

I would love a simple "Make a simple website in 6 minutes" video. Talk ...

I have spend a lot of time creating these tutorials.
What exactly is wrong with my tutorials?
How can I improve the information?

Pablo, nothing is wrong with your tutorials, the problem is me. I'm a terrible student. Having said that, afaik your tutorials are static and text based no? Like a ...

brianluce

Pablo, but I disabled the firewall. Possibly the network is just slow today. I can live with slow, cannot live with "failed to publish"

brianluce

disclaimer: I own the lic for wysi 17 and have purchased earlier versions as well. But! the late great 90 sec guy makes excellent video tutorials for us attention DD types. How reliable are his tutorials? I just cannot follow the ones Pablo makes-- my mind drifts and I find myself thinking about ...

So for some reason HostMetro kept failing to publish. No idea why other than Host Metro. So after hours of back and forth emails and Hostmetro making incremental suggestions that didn't work, I changed to SFTP secure shell SSH2. My site, however sluggishly, actually published. Great, but what is ...

I need help making my site more polished and most importantly RESPONSIVE. Willing to pay. The text based tutorials are greek to me and the videos on youtube from 3rd parties are fraught. dont laugh but here www.villabohol.com. pm if interested

brianluce

The site you linked displays differently on my laptop as compared to my mobile. The mobile has fewer menu items on the top purple bar and the overall site is configured more vertically on the mobile as compared to laptop-- maybe that's intentional? Also, somehow I cannot alter the purple bar's color ...

Will this template still snap to all device sizes? It's still a "responsive" site? My site needs to work on mobile devices. I can just replace the files paste my pics and text to the template and publish?

I'm going to have a family member manage our site. Question, I'm here in the States, the business and the relative is in philippines. Can you she use my license or do I need to buy her a separate one?

Publishing to a folder simply means WB will create and place all the files/folders into a folder of your choice on your hard drive. In the publishing dialog you will need to select the folder where you want the files put.

Once published, you will use Filezilla to transfer the files/folders to ...

brianluce

problem resolved. I asked Hostmetro to change the password to 9 digits, because Filezilla had a 9 character limit, I entered that pw in wysi and it loaded. thanks for the help.

You mean transfer the folder containing the wws site to filezilla? Is that what's meant by "publishing to a folder"?

brianluce

apparently i am able to connect to Filezilla. Still cannot load my WYS page. Is there a way to load my page from Filezilla?

I still cannot load the site. Host Metro sent this email:

SFTP usinf SSH2 (secure shell) is what host metro said to click in the publishing box. Is that "Secure FTP"?
Yes, however it does not look like the server accepts connections on this port.

Are you able to connect using these settings with another tool?

So there is another software to connect ...

brianluce

The error indicates that the software cannot to the server.
Are you sure the server supports Secure FTP?
Can you connect to the server with another FTP tool and the same settings?

If yes, then it's most likely a firewall configuration issue.
If no, then the settings are wrong.

Hello, I have a vacation rental i'm trying to promote. I have 3 more questions. 1) Presumably most people will find me on the web via cell phone.

I want a simple, mobile phone friendly page to promote our vacation rental property. Can someone recommend one? I cannot tell from the library which template fits my criteria-- they all look good. Also, is there a way to put mandarin Chinese info on the site?

I'm trying guys. Today I tried to open those templates, thinking I can just enter my content on board and have a responsive site. But when I download the template is creates a wtb7 file and I'm using version 14. I thought 14 can open older version but it apparently doesn't. What am I doing wrong now ...

I will never be a good website builder, but if I could get something up once and for all that was light, loads fast and shows up in searches I'd be ahead of the game.

my windows 10 Firewalls is shut off as far as I can tell. WYSIWG does however appear in the "export policy" dialog box in firewall and advanced security menus.

What are possible configuration issues? How are the publish fields supposed to be filled out? My site is not even appearing on the internet now. It's gone. and the software continues with "fail to publish" messages.

Using FileZilla is above my skillset. My website does not even appear on the internet now. it says "cannot find site". the site is www.villabohol.com

Dude, I've used your software for almost 10 years. It's bullet proof. Hostmetro however appears to be run by morons. Their chat is never on, Phones off, only ticket based tech support and they suck.
