The January Site of the Month is...
Space Coast Youth Multi-Sports LLC!

Today's featured site comes from the sunny state of Florida. We all know that exercise is an important part of keeping up a healthy life and starting at a young age is even better. Space Coast Youth Multi-Sports LLC was created by Vanessa, a mother of 6 who is passionate about keeping herself and her children active.

Kidstriclub.com is an incredibly informative website that is planned out perfectly to let you access just the information you need. View the calendar to see upcoming classes and events, learn more about the program's history, and access the proper forms you need to get your kids started. You can tell by the effort that was put into making the site appealing that youth activity is something that Space Coast Youth Multi-Sports LLC is incredibly dedicated to.

We have released an update for the Custom HTML add-on! Before, the add-on was overzelous in cleaning your HTML input, causing many add-ons to appear blank when published. The cleaning was good up to a point. It cleaned up your code and helped make sure that if you wrote basic code yourself, it didn't break. However, it wasn't ideal for 3rd party code as it would tend to take out elements that were necessary to publish correctly.
The update works harder to make sure that your code, whether code you've written yourself or found from another website, will work no matter what! Third party code like widgets from widgetbox, Facebook, PayPal, or more work seamlessly.
Once you've submitted your code into the custom HTML module, know that it might not show up in your editor, but once you hit "Publish" you will be able to view it on your live site!
You can now make your website compatible with your mobile device all with the simple click of one button.
Here are step-by-step instructions on how to turn on your mobile layout and how to customize what shows up on your site when you view it on a mobile device.
Step 1:
Make sure that you have Mobile Layout enabled.
To do this, go to your Site tab and click "Turn On Mobile Layout" under Site Settings. To make sure it works, you must click SAVE! Note: You will notice that if you have a free account, this option is not currently available.

Step 2:
Create your site! Once you're done filling your website with all the content you want and with all the add-ons you need, click "Preview" and then select "Mobile Preview" to see how your website will look on a mobile screen.


Step 3:
Once you have seen the preview of your mobile site, you can go back to your editor and make any changes you need. If there are images or modules that you do not want to appear on your mobile website you can click on the cog of that module and uncheck the box "Display in Mobile Version."

Step 4:
Click publish to make sure others will view this version of your site when they visit on a mobile device.
Custom Style Tips:
If you built custom CSS into your style, you must make sure that your CSS for the mobile layout matches the CSS for your website. For example, if you changed the background image of your website, if you don't change the background image in your mobile layout CSS, your mobile version will show up as the original style.
To check and edit your website's CSS, view the CSS editor in Source View and scroll all the way to the bottom. If you have simple changes to make, easily edit the mobile CSS under "MOBILE LAYOUT" to what you need it to be to match your normal website. If you are not seeing this CSS at the bottom of your code, you can add in the code below and customize it to your liking. See the code below:
______________________________________________________________________________ */
@media screen and (max-device-width:480px), screen and (max-width:600px){
/* adds mobile only background */
#body.mobileLayout{}
/* style for menu button at top right of page */
#body.mobileLayout #mNavLink{}
/* styling for navigation menu to be placed at bottom of page */
#body.mobileLayout .mobileNav ul{}
#body.mobileLayout .mobileNav ul li a{}
#body.mobileLayout .mobileNav ul li a:hover,
#body.mobileLayout .mobileNav ul li a.selected{}
/* mobile layout/content styling */
#body.mobileLayout #outerContainer{}
#body.mobileLayout #header{}
#body.mobileLayout #main{}
#body.mobileLayout #content{}
#body.mobileLayout #sidebar{}
#body.mobileLayout #footer{}
}
Fill in all of these sections with the elements that you need to match your custom site and you'll be all set!
Today's featured site is a wonderfully built site all based around a great cause! The Feel Teal Club focuses on raising awareness for Ovarian cancer, a disease that while just as present in the lives of women everywhere as breast cancer, doesn't get the same level of awareness worldwide.

Debbie has created an incredible supportive environment for those with cancer and those who have loved ones battling cancer. At feeltealclub.com you can learn more about Ovarian cancer as well as learn about the Titans of Teal campaign.
Visit feeltealclub.com to learn more and show your support today!

Although it is just the start of January, I am already excited for the fall. The changing colors of the leaves, the brisk temperatures (not the chilling cold!), and it's the perfect time for fun outdoor activities... like riding bikes! The Brown County Breakdown "isn't a race, it's just a great ride in the woods with a few hundred of your closest friends." The bike ride is held at Brown County State Park near Nashville, Indiana and has a full weekend of events planned.

You can see all the highlights of last year's event on the website as well as see the schedule for the upcoming year (although you have to wait until October for the Brown County Breakdown!). Check out Brown County Breakdown at browncountymountainbiking.com/breakdown/.

Today’s Featured Friday Site is Kustali Mastiffs. Based out of Western Australia, this family owned company has been in business since 2008 and they take great pride in their “gentle giants”.

The site is tailored to help you decide if the Mastiff would be the right dog for you and even a form to let them know you would be interested in a puppy from the upcoming litter. The photos clearly show the how beautiful these dogs are but also where the term “giant” comes from. Check out the site today at KustaliMastiffs.com!
