We lost our popular discussion thread about WhyPark. It was deleted by forum software when the thread starter's account was deleted (at his request). Sorry about that everyone.

This is a new thread being established to talk about WhyPark.

I have been on enhanced plan for years,just recently switched because like i said i dont like the comments at bottom of articles.Now the bookmark and share are not on homepage a feature i wanted on homepage,it is only after articles.I added a delicious link at the bottom of each page,all 250 at once,by adding it to 3rd party adds at the bottom ad feed.When i change colour code for page i always get a grey shadow,when i use grey plain template,as you can see now,still dont know dick about css.Kelly was a big help yester also my guineau pig page is BlackHillsI destroy it redo it am practicing adding articles.I'm a fruit picker by trade so this stuff is relatively new to mebut i want the easy money honey thanks for everyones insight and tips I am sure it helps alot of people out.Happy Holidays

I know what you mean about the shadowing prob when you change colors on their templates. I was on the managed tier for 3-4 months and really tinkered with their templates. Mind you I have very little html/css experience. But its not hard to figure out how to tweak WhyP templates either way. The conclusion I came to was if I was going to put that much time and effort into creating mini sites that didn't look so boiler plate, then I might as well start learning to create them myself and find cheap hosting. Thats where I'm headed with 8-10 domains now. Should be an interesting experience.

How do i resize my images so they fit properly at whypark?they are to big or too small

Go into customize your current layout, find the default whypark image, make note of the image size. I use paintshoppro to open and resize my images to the needed size. Save it and then upload it to your whypark image gallery. Click on insert image, copy the code line they give you and then paste it in place of the default image line and submit the changes.

I been trying stuff out for the image I remove the <img crap and replace it with[[imgHeader]] that resolves it to whatever your header subject is.Example is Sports Tips could not get a decent image.Then i did the[[imgHeader]] and got a decent image,one that cannot be found in the templates anywhere.I found some website to shrink my images that worked ok,time consuming.Thanks for the info Mark,I will lookup paintshoppro the usual whypark image is572x124 on the templates i like.
Didnt like how the text ads were at the bottom of the page,moved that placeholder over to the right column and heck out Blackhills.ca to view my progresses

I also get trouble with images, often i put up a new site and the image is good, then a week later i get one that is totally unrelated.

Other times i have had WP staff change an inappropriate one to a correct one, very hit and miss on this.

I think they put this one on my site, firstclassairfares.com, but my blog picture on bloghq.com has gone?

OK, update! I notice you can choose your own photos/images now, just matches up to the catagory, did not see that until now, today.

Things are improving at whypark,I customise a template,insert [[imgHeader]] and they have way more pictures available than on templates.Some sites have to be fine tuned for the category,it is wrong but getting better.I resized a few images to 572x124 pixel as is image size in templates and uploaded worked ok.
Working on css now changed the title from white to gold.Did sell another domain name tday that is 3 this month,I am sure the nice design and layout helps with resale value.Time now to go thru all my sites make sure they are in right category gonna bulk action as many as i can I see my www.rwebcam.com is not an image of sunflowers anymore.
One thing i dont like is all money pictures are usa currency,doesnt look good on cashFund.ca even maxeaus airline site has american money,thats where i changed image on money sites like CashFund.ca dont want usd on .ca domain

The value of Namepros dollars is sure falling people are selling for .01 each now,some good deals at the exchange

Happy Holidays,

I checked out the new changes with categories and related images....It is getting better. I found that I didn't care for the site title at the top so i removed its placeholder and put it on the image that I uploaded....purevitaminsource()com and healing withtea()com are a couple of examples.

Email & WhyPark

I started playing around in my whypark account,someone mentioned the bulk actions tool.So now i find out i didnt have to copy and paste my top and bottom ad code from one site to the other.do it all with one click.I only did a hundred or so.I see 2 websites I have owned for 9 months which just had standard netfirms parked page,last week I moved it to whypark and 25 pages are indexed,thats pretty good for free...I see an article on my wheels site that is from this week.Getting better,hate going to a wine site and reading an article from feb 2008,so is someone going to now tell me that if i am on the managed paying plan there that i would somehow be able to go into change layout and remove the comments at the bottom of each article?I'd switch then,but i dont like that.
And in Categories there is nothing for energy,solar,wind power,renewable resources,they should tweek the categories up,and these two sites are identical in all the information at whypark,yet one still has the sunflowers.
Site 1 and site 2 both exact same description keywords...
I do like whypark if it went down today i would be lost and every domain i sell i tell people to try whypark.Oh ya i was reading,i never could use an email adresse when dns is whypark and now i see you change the a record not dns and you can have email account where it is reg'd that turned me on.

Hi MasterOfMyDomains;
I've been searching for quite a while for an email solution to my WhyPark domains. How have you been able to get an email address for your domains parked at Whypark. I've a pretty developed site that I have at WhyPark and would like to include a 'Contact Us' page/link on the site but just don't know how to go about it. This domain has been transfered to Hostgator and their customer support keeps telling me that I can't have email without switching the nameservers. How have you managed to get email for your Whypark domain(s) while at the same time keeping the name servers pointing to WhyPark?
Any help would be appreciated.

For a contact link I bought domain name myContactForm.ca then i added the link in there whe the site map is located and have it open up to a contact form here
You can also go to bravenet and get a code for a contact template and then ad a custom page putting the contact form on it.
I have not done it yet,but heard if you go to where you change the nameservers,change the dns back to where it is hosted,and then change the "a"record should be in there,to a diffrent number.Once you change dns at netfirms,i can open an account and send email but i cant recieve any.So change dns,to used your host email or build a custom page and get code from like bravenet to paste on it.People can contact you about the site for sale,using that link,you could reword that link to say Contact us or Purchase site.let me know if you understand what i mean.Go to www.Blackhills.ca and click on contact us.You can always buy MyContactForm.net for 25 bucks,then if anyone needs to contact you dont want to give your email just give them the website adresse.I pay bravenet 10 a month so no ads but i have signature site hosted there its good deal i like it and i build contact forms,web polls,contests www.bravenet.com if your interested in mycontactform.net you can reach me thru my contact form at www.mycontactform.ca

You should be able to change the 'a" record at hostgator,this coming up is what i found in whypark help section very useful i just found out something i didnt know,but i forgot what it was now so am gonna go back check.This is from whypark help..,
How is email to a WhyPark domain handled? Is there a way to catch all emails and forward that email to me?
No, not right now. Email is currently not setup with WhyPark domains. You would have to use your own DNS and just point the website to us. That way you can keep your email and have the site with us. Instead of changing the name servers for hosting, you can have your current DNS provider make an IP change. They will just have to point the A Record to our IP, which is: 98.129.126.138 Another option is to create a custom "contact" page that includes your email information.

Hi MasterOfMyDomains;
Regarding the quote taken from the Help Pages of WhyPark : How is email to a WhyPark domain handled? Is there a way to catch all emails and forward that email to me?

Am I to understand this to mean that I should leave the name servers pointing to Hostgator and just change the A record in order to get email for my site??

Yes sock,that is my understanding and all email will be handled thru hostgator.
I havent checked it out yet,for how long to have the dns change and the a record to resolve.
Everyone make sure your domains are in the right category now with the new change some names were all over the board.Was tuning up my sports betting sites this morning,I am with the 1 template all the way,love the tons of new pictures has even canadian pics eh Visit Sports Tips as an example of my gambling/sports site always welcome to advice

Try clicking "no". Once I did that it quit asking the question. Previously I would click "yes" and the annoying message kept appearing. Now it doesn't.
