Got it - very handy. Big Thanks @acorn

Thanks @acorn. I did discover that link setting. Since now im working with FileZilla for uploading, and the fact this is a heavy site I upload when I have a lot of changes.

My free version of flz...

Getting to know FileZilla due to the Xara uploader not liking my SP changes. Flz is giving me cleaner uploads for larger sites.
- my bookmarks in flz is not holding my passwords. That must be a...

Thanks Egg and Acorn. Not sure jpgs aren’t webp on mobile. Good points all round.

I’ve not only noticed this with my designs, but with many users. My desktop pages remain in the high green, but mobile pages are in the high amber according to page insights. For me it appears to be...

That’s a very, very good point. Way back, Acorn stated that you really have to have a working knowledge of Xara before entering the “block world”; and he’s correct. When something goes south one...

Frolin. I’m not sure what version of Xara you’re using. In your larger variant, click on an element and turn off sharing. It’s explained fully here .....

Chris said “ otally agree. To show how much more work is involved...Pre-Blocks I would make a site, edit the objects to how I like and then create a variant where I would move the pre-edited objects...

Certainly agree on the embed feature. They’re still working on the ftp upload feature set at least for me. I can’t use it.
They’re really going all in with blocks. As mentioned on another thread...

This far it looks good. Looking forward to seeing more as you progress.

As Acorn pointed out. https://helpandsupport.xara.com/xara_desktop/product_support/photo_tools/enhance_tool.html

And remember Xara is non destructive, so you can play with all the settings if...

I’ve a favicon for a website that is working fine.

Now I must change the favicon. Will the present favicon be written over, or does the present favicon have to be deleted, then produce the new...

Agree with Acorn, Mike. The Xara widgets are quite confusing. Placeholders with code insert is the way to go. Every site I’ve made with a map, or calendar has worked splendidly with code insertion....

Thev.. another school of thought. This is a busy sight, and a lot is going on. I’ve seen some larger city sites and keeping it simple might be your best option. My opinion only. If you’d like more...

Yes Egg. It’s caught me a number of times. Just wondering if turned off, what would it default too. The second from last setting. That’s for me to experiment and find out.

Chris M mentioned … “ Before Blocks were released, we were told on this very forum, that something new and exciting was about to be released, that we would love it. It would change the way we build...

Got it. Thanks Acorn. I prefer that global setting.

Embarrassing. I have a rectangle of a certain color. I want some texture and add something from the fill gallery.
...

Thanks for posting Chris. Lots of great work. Your miles ahead of me. For those following and just using blocks check the YouTube instructions first. As well I’ve posted this link before from Michal....

Working on that Acorn. I have my Master images in their own folder. All very large as I do my own photos. Then after correctly sizing and processing I place them in another folder, usually a folder...

Reinhard. I can’t duplicate any shadow. I worked with letters over a tiff image. I can see lightness along that red line.

;). But I do consider a road map a very good idea. Since they’re really on the Blocks sell, I wonder if yourself, acorn, egg and other notables can get together and make suggestions for Blocks 3, or...

Mine thus far. billwood.ca the splash page is the home page. I do like the block layout for "buildings", although we can do this with smart duplication. Buttons can lead to a full page on a...

I’ll upload a site soon. Strictly experimental. I’m moving blank blocks onto pages. Adding images etc. I’m considering designing the 480 variant first, then looking on the 1280 site. The other way...

Just an update. Xara continue to solve the problem of the uploader. The fuzzy fact remains that 7 of 10 sites load well with the uploader. 3 sites have to be uploaded with an external program...
