Re: I need help - I am very confused

I looked at the test site but it looks like some kind of menu stuck to the left of the window. It also has two sets of scroll bars like it is perhaps in nested iframes, if that is even possible. Didn't see anything about a .pdf. What is it supposed to look like?

You can create (usually by cloning the original master page) another master page and give it a different name from the original (like 'master_2') and set the desired pages to use it as a master page. It is simple to remove or add elements from the cloned master page. Or you can create a whole differ...

Re: Blocks and Changing their order

Also, the number pad + and - keys are hotkeys (+ moves the selected grid down one, - moves it up one) or you can use those keys in conjunction with the Ctrl key to move the grid to the top or bottom. I find this the easiest and most accurate method but all methods work great.

If you are getting a black screen while uploading to your host it most likely means you have large files (images,video, etc). This is normal and not the fault of WWB 17. Also make sure your file names conform to WWB requirements (17 warns you unless you have opted to turn it off).
