page not found
« on: June 01, 2008, 12:33:39 AM »

Hey Bert,

I just discovered an error with the way I've been creating my web pages.

I sent a page address through e-mail, it works fine for me, but the person who received it said the page only loaded the html code. When I tried to use Google to search for the page, it said no page found. I tested several other pages, some Google would find, some it wouldn't. I can't figure out what's wrong. All of the pages were validated by an online validator. How did it find the page when Google can't? This is the page that started the problem, although I remamed it trying to see if that would fix it.

Thanks

Hi, not-Bert here. It isn't that Google can't find the page, it has plenty of others listed from your site. It's just that Google hasn't yet researched this particular page. When the bots visit, this one will be there with the others. As to why your friend got the source, rather than the actual page, ????, unless the version of the url you emailed him/her had a typo. Could happen, right? When I followed the link as written above, I got the finished product. Very nicely done btw - and some extremely impressive pens too.

Here are all the pages I found at Google with a brief look...

Thanks Sandy

I thought the google thing might have something to do with them not scanning the page yet.

I think I know what I did wrong. I usually write the code for my pages on a test page, then once I validate it, I rename it. I think I forgot to add the dot html at the end. I still don't fully understand directories and files completely and how I should handle the index page when I create a new directory.

BTW, how did you find that Google page? That's too cool!

Thanks
Rmartin

If you do a Google search for fountain city furniture.com - and it's important you leave the spaces in, the second link at the Google page will be "24K gold hand turned cigar pens" and directly below, after "Cached" and "Similar pages" it you will see a text link that reads 'More results from fountaincityfurniture.com »'. Follow that and Robert's your mother's brother.  biggrin
