Apture and Websites--Success

I set up a quick website using Webs.com to see how Apture might be used in a library setting. Webs is a typical free web hosting platform that uses a site builder. (Most libraries will have something more sophisticated but this seemed to be a good test as to how intuitive the installation might be.)

I signed up for Apture and copied the snippet of code that I needed to put at the end of the HTML document--just prior to the tag. But where to put it? The Webs site builder did not let me see the entire HTML document (at least not that I could find easily). I experimented and finally found the footer template for my site.


Success!

So, I set up a website published it and inserted all my Apture links. It looked OK but I decided to change a few things. So I republished the page and the links were gone! When I checked on the Apture site, there was a mismatch with the site token.

I had to go back, make sure all the left over code was out of the document and reregister the site with Apture before I could recreate the links. That's a bit messy.
