This is a simple collection of hints on building websites using the Weebly service. I experienced a lot of frustration using weebly. There is not very good documentation.
How to use HTML to create a "go to previous page" graphic that is a button using weebly. - pdf document
The method described in the document is a handy approach for creating html by people who are not html experts, such as myself. I use the free editor Komodo Edit for looking at html code created by weebly. That allows me to follow Weebly practice in creating my own code.
Bug for Google Analytics with Weebly
Google Adwords and companion program google Analytics work by inserting a snippit of code in the page header (settings, SEO, insert code in header, Save). Inserting the snippit in one page inserts it in every page of the website.
When a page is rendered the snippit sends a message to google analytics with considerable information. The information comes, indirectly, to your landing page from a click on a google ad. The data conerning where the add appeared and much other information is sent in the form of tags after the URL. For example:
https://dumbenergy.com/?sourc=xyz..etc
The information folloing the question mark (sometimes a hash mark) is the tag. The bug is that this only works if the home page of your website is used as the landing page. If you use a landing page like:
https://dumbenergy.com/landing
The tag is erased by weebly and replaced with ".html". You shoudl also always use https:// and that can be enabled via settings.
