In reply to: Cannot see my websiteHi Lyle,
I’ve just been speaking to my brother in law – appears that I’ve been really dumb. The website is up and running but I’ve been trying to search for it in google…..he’s explained the whole are of web optimisation – wow.
So my website looks fine ( I think) although the web address is a bit long according to my brother in law ( I agree)……it’s for a small part of my work so I may not change it.
For info it’s http://www.livingwillownorthwest.com
Lyle – even though I’ve sorted my problem I do hugely thank you for your responses. I’ve had a bit of a deadline sprung on me to sort this ASAP and with a little one I was getting a bit frazzled.

In reply to: Cannot see my websiteHi Lyle,
A big thanks for the reply.
So I followed steps to set up a domain and to host it on hostgator.
I’ve set up all the pages and all the while I kept going from the dashboard to the menu to the ‘visit site’ menu to check it was all looking ok. It all seemed to be fine but then when I try and open the website from another computer I cannot find any sign of the website.
Other info that may help clarify…..
I’ve been using twenty twelve theme.
I have set up 7 pages including the homepage. All the pages I’ve been producing using the ‘pages’ tab. Apart from the home page.
For the homepage I used ‘dashboard’ and then a button ‘customise your site’ which gave me access to the header, images etc. This customised homepage has then appeared in the ‘pages’ section of the dashboard. I think I deleted the original ‘home’ from the ‘pages’ section. I’m wondering if the issues lies somewhere here?
I’ve also created a new menu in the ‘appearance / menu ‘ tab. Again this may be a possible cause of the hiccup.
I was following some general on line advice on setting up a website but went off piste because the advice didn’t match with the updated version of wordpress that I’m using.
Any further advice would be much appreciated,
