ok here’s the deal my old laptop which I worked on has effectively died and i have a new laptop and have gotten everything the way i need it except for one minute little detail the smartFTP is been a pain in my tookes, i typed in the webpage and everything but its on a constant loading not brining anything up so i think i may be doing something wrong ether with the address or login & password, can anyone tell me what i need to do? i think its the login mainly but im using the forum login so im not sure if that’s right and I cant remember my other login and password from when i first joined comic genesis... sorry if that’s at all confusing.
second little bit of help is with the whole blog thingy that everyone seems to have under there strips in tidy little boxes, every time i try to do this it ether goes over my strip or directly under in a big mess, how do i create a proper one?
thanks for you time and any help given

Lost your ftp password?

Put in your comic name, the new password that you want under 'custom password' and then repeat in the 'confirm' box, click submit.
It'll send an email to the address you first registered with.
If that email isn't working or you don't have access to it, you're out of luck.
And by "blog thingy", do you mean a little box with stuff on the index? There is a couple of ways of doing it, but I recommend this method:
The bit that says "Your browser does not support iFrames" isn't important, but whatever you put between the <iframe> and </iframe> will show up if the reader's browser doesn't know how to use iFrames. Unlikely, but possible.
Play around with the width and and height until you are happy with it. There are a couple of other options as well, run a search for "iframe tutorial" and you'll learn a lot more about them.
Last and most important part: blog.html will be a seperate file that you can update directly. That means that if you want to say something, you can connect to your site, upload the new blog.html file and that's it. Because you're uploading it directly to the public_html side, it'll be visable straight away without needing to run an update.
Any more questions? Feel free to ask.

How it works: put the iFrame code in the spot that you want the blog-box thingy to appear. Create a new html file with the stuff you want to appear, or a text file. Let's call that file blog.html and put it in the same folder as your index.html file (note: this will go in the public_html folder, not the workspace folder. You'll see why in a moment).<iframe width=set your width here, in pixels height=set your height here, in pixels src="put url here">Your browser does not support iFrames</iframe>
