If you view the report online, you should see a number in the address bar of your web browser, at the end of the address. Or, when you make the report "public", the page should tell you the link for the report. Mar 9, 2012 9:28 AM

I would like to display an "example report" on my website but cannot find the "SHGI" unique report number. Can you help me? Mar 9, 2012 8:07 AM

Probably the easiest thing to do would be to call us directly with your domain information and we can get your site live. Oct 3, 2011 12:10 PM

I used the website builder and went to go daddy and created my domain name. Where do I put my domain name so my website I built will work. I only purchased the name, not hosting is that correct? Oct 1, 2011 2:47 PM

It was mentioned in a previous newsletter that we could use Wordpress as a website buider. How can I do that? Jun 1, 2011 11:10 AM

Do you mean where do you put your link so that your profile page will link to your existing website? If that is it, just login at HomeGauge.com, click on the "Settings" tab, then click on the "My Company" link. On that page you can add a link to your existing website. May 31, 2011 11:46 AM

You should not need the software for that. You can just use the form code. You can stylize the form however you like, just make sure to keep all the fields and values the same. Feb 17, 2011 9:22 AM

I am creating a website for a home inspector client who wants to use Home Gauge. I work on a Mac. I see there is the html code to add to allow his clients to logon to his website to get to their reports but do I need to have the software loaded on my computer to test the functionality of the website and report downloading?

Once you have your new sample report uploaded and set to "public" viewing, you can login to your website, go to the sample report page, click to edit it, highlight the current link, click on the edit link button (looks like a couple of chain links), then change the link to the link of the new sample report.

I'm trying to paste a button into one of my web pages, and the editor keeps stripping the "value" data out of the code I'm pasting into it when I save. What am I doing wrong? Dec 20, 2010 5:33 PM

The class dropdown is a little bit confusing there, but it is just for the text styling (size, color, etc.) that will be applied to the link. Generally, you can leave that as the default (don't pick anything/no class or style) and the link will appear normal. Selecting one probably won't do much on an image. Nov 10, 2010 2:58 PM

I have been using the Platinum website builder for a while and still have not been able to find any relative information with regards to the class pull down when giving a word or an image a hyperlink & title. Is there any information on the best class type to utilize on hyperlinks? Nov 10, 2010 2:06 PM
