hi could some1 pls help me,im having probs getting the pics on my GuideML

Hi Annette!

When you click the 'Edit' button on your page, do you see one or two sets of the and tags at the top? There should only be one of each

hi
thanks 4 ur reply,no there is only one of each,a friend told me 2 copy of his what i needed,but its just not working
i have left on what i have done if u could have a look n see if u can spot what it is i've done wrong
thanks Annette

Try removing the




at the top, and the



towards the end

You've forgotten the first " in the link for Gossip, it should begin like this:
<LINK HREF="

Just after the tag, you have an extra 'R' in the tag, and also in the closing tag

Further down, you've forgotten to close this tag:
<PICTURE EMBED="LEFT" BLOB="B62387"
You need to complete it like this:

This might be a silly question, but very far down on the Edit page, have you marked 'GuideML' and clicked on the Change style button?

There was a '/' missing in one of your links, but I've forgotten which one:
<LINK HREF="http://

There should always be two //

Then I had some trouble with a space in one of the link closing tags, it should look like this with no spaces:

Be sure to check all your smiley tags - I think a saw a '-' instead of a '=' somewhere, and also the " missing around a smiley name - every little thing counts!

I think I found all the errors - check here if this is what you have in mind for your page: <./>A1083575?skin=plain</.>

...and this link to see the GuideML: <./>test1083575?skin=plain</.>

i have coped down everything u said,n would just like 2 say a big thank you 4 all ur help
thanks again Annette

No problem!

Would you happen to be using a digibox? If so, then you have my sympathy - as I understand it digibox users can't use the 'copy&paste' but have to type every tag themselves...

...which on the other hand is a very good way to learn to understand GuideML!

Ah - you made it! Well done!

thanks
but i cheeted a bit,malo helped me get started by doing my page 4 me n i've just been adding pics n finally got the digibox friendly link sorted after a few goes
so thanks 2 malo starting me off im not doing 2 bad


so how long have u been on h2g2 n was u on ld?

Who? *looks around* Me? Oh no, I've never been on LD, I would hardly know what it is if it hadn't been for the sudden influx of LDers to h2g2 when LD closed down (at least I think they did?)

I recently celebrated my 3rd h2g2 anniversary, so I guess that makes me one of the 'inventories' eh? I even remember what it was like before the BBC took over! (OK, now I *really* feel old!)

i remember when i 1st tryed h2g2 it looked a lot diffrent from now(begining of last year)but i only added 2 msgs,did not know just how much was on here n what u could do...im likeing it more as im finding my way round

Have fun exploring the h2g2 site!

I know I *still* find new things - I'm currently reading one of today's edited entries on the front page, about the ship Batavia - it's well written and the tension is growing!

Sometimes when I feel bored I have a look at the <./>info</.> page - lot's of interesting information to be found there!

morning
i just might have a look at that when i get a bit of time
hope ur

I'm fine, because today the weather is fine! (as opposed to yesterday when we had a nasty persistent little drizzle all day long and grey skies)

If/when you get a bit of time, you'll no doubt (maybe you already have) discover that you can spend a *lot* of time on h2g2!

morning
i know there is a lot going on,on h2g2 thats why i need time 2 myself 2 have a good look around,but only poping on in the mornings just now as my husband is at home from work ill,my brother-inlaw is staying 4 a week so cant pop on at night just yet,but will b on soon
chat soon
