TOPIC: Converting from former website to new one

Thanks Dominic!  I think I was in Themes and set up Theme 11 as default.  It was enabled and I saved the configuration.  I don't think I was in account.  Thanks for switching me.  I have lost all the sidebar work I had done on theme 5.  Is that normal? 
I sent out direct mail to my clients about a new program we have going.  I really need to back this up with some info on our website.  All our clients are using our old website.  I'd like to forward the old website to the newwebsite here sometime today. How do I do this? I still need to add pages to my new website.  I would like to at least put up a skeleton site...and continue to add pages.  Is this a good idea or should I wait til I'm done?  I'm not sure how well I set up the pages for SEO either.  I still have alot of work to do But I really like your webhosting site and the support you give all of us. 
The fonts are driving me crazy tho.  I can never get the right look the way I'm doing it.  Sometimes I think they have a mind of their own.  I think I need a new approach totally.  I have problems even when I type the info directly into the page and not copy and paste.  I think I'll try just typing the entire page first.  Then submit it. Then decide on the font and change it.  It doesn't seem to like it when you try different fonts or sizes or boldness.  Is this a good idea?  Should I be using notepad when I am typing the info in too?  Please help.  It's taking way to long to set up a page.  I spend more time on the fonts than I do on the content, layout and website design.  THanks!  Robin  Sorry for so many questions....

John, I had trouble with the fonts as well. Dom had me type my text into Notepad and then transfer it to the page all at one time. Works like a dream, much easier that way. Then change your fonts as you wish, no problems since I started doing it that way.

Hi Robin,

The problem is that each theme has it's own default font. So if you don't setup the other fonts just right, the default font will take over. It's best just to get the content done first like Ian had mentioned in notepad, paste it in and save. Then work on fonts.

Regarding your side bar work. It's all there. Just go to blocks and reassign it to the appropriate side bar you want it to appear in.

Oh cool!  Thanks!  I'll give that a try!

How do I forward my old website to my new website? Thanks Robin

Hi John,

You would have to do this through the company you registered your name with. Look for a place called forwarding and type in your new email address.

Will that forward every time someone enters our old url to our new url?
