=== How to set up a web site ===
Please see [[Website_setup|Web site setup]] article.
=== My FTP is not working ===
#The settings required are on the Internet settings screen within the admin interface.
#In the '''web/FTP site''' section, check the settings, and experiment with a different FTP protocol.
#In the '''web/FTP settings''' section, check all the settings, some determine what is automatically uploaded, other settings should initially obey the tips shown on the settings screen. One item to try is changing the setting for ''Active FTP mode''.
#For most modern web pages, including those provided, use UTF-8 [[Webtags#Encoding|encoding description]]. If your web pages appear to be empty when they are uploaded, look near the front of such files where the [[Customised_templates#Coding_standard_and_character_encoding_for_Customised_Templates_using_the_same_names_as_Standard_Cumulus_Templates|encoding declarations]] will be found.
=== I don't like the bird image on standard web pages ===
Please see [[FAQ#How_do_I_replace_the_.27bird.27_image_on_my_website.3F|C1 FAQ]].
=== I want a different heading on standard web pages ===
These are built up from a combination of text in the template file and what you have entered on the station settings in text boxes just above the '''Options''' section.
The styling for these headings, including use of lower case, is defined in the '''C'''ascading '''S'''tyling '''S'''heet. You need some understanding of [[Stylesheets|CSS]] to edit these.
=== The sunrise and sunset times are wrong ===
*You must enter DEGREES, MINUTES, and SECONDS, in the text boxes within the location section and select hemisphere, in the Station settings in the admin interface. See [[FAQ#My_sunrise_and_sunset_times_are_wrong|C1 FAQ]] for more advice.
*Another possible cause might be your device system date and time is wrong.
=== The moon rise or moon set shows dashes ===
This is common, the lunar day does not match the earth day, so on some days the moon will either only rise or only set, while other days will see a moon rise and a moon set.
=== I want a moon image, but I don't see one ===
#Are you using an old version that does not include a moon image?
#Do you have the moon base image in your local files?
#Have you asked MX to generate by system drawing a masked image to show the current phase?
#Have you asked MX to upload this image?
#Is your FTP working, because that is only way the moon image can be uploaded to web server.
