How to publish outside .mac

I've already created one personal webpage using iWeb, and I'm pretty pleased with the results. Now I'd like to spruce up a webpage that is not a .mac page, its actually under a public university domain (.edu) - I know there are some code/passwords I need to get to even publish there to begin with, but I'm just wondering what the process is from iWeb to publish somewhere besides .mac. How does that work? Obviously I can't click publish at the bottom of the iWeb interface.....I'm also seeing a lot of people struggling to have two separate webpages, any suggestions to keep things working smooth?

Pretty simple, although there is a downside of not having .mac as your server...
Anyway, simply Publish to a folder (any folder will do, although you can use User/Sites if you want to keep it simple) - then you can just drag the contents of the folder you've published to onto an FTP server via your favorite client. I would recommend Transmit, if you're not using it already...

  • How to publish to .mac without using iWeb?

    I have made my website at home and published to a folder on my portable HD. I'm now away from my home Mac, and, as seen in a thread below, I can't reopen in iWeb at work to publish to .mac.
    How do I 'publish' to .mac? - is it as simple as copying the Sites folder to my iDisk? If I enter my iWeb URL will it link up with the iWeb pages/files I have uploaded to iDisk?
    As you can tell I'm not a web designer!
    Thanks in advance, Lee.

    Ah, so regarding the previous thread about editing
    published iWeb websites, you could theoretically keep
    backups of the respective data files with their
    websites?
    Yes. And you should always keep such backups if you want to avoid having to recreate everything when something goes wrong.
    I presume when the data file is replaced in the
    Library the application opens up in that website,
    rather then offering a choice of new templates?
    That's what should happen, yes.

  • How to publish to .Mac instead of personal domain

    Hello All,
    I'm making a website for a course I am on, and the first idea was to post the site onto the domain of another guy in course. So I followed the Mac instructions and now every time I want to publish it goes to the outside website instead of my .Mac account. How do I change things so that the site publishes to my .Mac account instead of the external one? Thanks in advance.
    Cheers,
    Walt

    Lori,
    I tried that, but it still loads to AP278.com instead of my .Mac. I'm trying to put my http://web.mac.com/username account, I'll see if that works. In the meantime, any other suggestions?

  • Publishing on .Mac versus another hosting plan

    I published the same Blog on .Mac and another hosting plan and get different results. To publish to my hosting plan at aPlus.net I first publish to a folder on my disk and then ftp that folder to my host.
    At ,Mac the Blog works fine. At aPlus.net when I click on the first entry I get the following error
    Not Found
    The requested URL /Investing/Blog/Entries/2007/8/18The_week_afterpill….html was not found on this server.
    Note the strange characers inserted after pilla....I have published the same stuff several times to a different folder and have ftp-ed several copies of this folder to aPlus. but the results are different compared to .Mac
    You can check it out by going to these two sites and click on the first entry
    http://www.flemishDNA.com/Investing/Blog/Blog.html
    This is the copy residing on .Mac
    http://www.dokuspublishing.com/Investing/Blog/Blog.html
    this is the same blog residing at aPlus.net
    Where do these strange characters come from and how come publishing to .Mac and to another host turn out to produce different results ?
    Anyone?

    Non-.Mac servers sometimes have more restrictions on characters they will accept. Yours is perhaps not accepting the ellipsis in UTF-8.
    One thing you could try is to put an .htaccess file in your web space with the entry "SecFilterEngine Off" and/or "SecFilterCheckUnicodeEncoding Off" (without quotes).
    A utility for fixing filenames with accented characters is available here.

  • Publishing to .mac pay pal buttons disappear/How to integrate iweb enhancer

    When I publish my website to a folder, the index html file gives a perfect working model of my website. When I publish to .mac, the pay pal buttons disappear and leave the same raw input that appears on the iweb page.
    Could it relate to iweb enhancer?I understand how to use iweb enhancer when publishing to a folder. How is it used when publishing to .mac?
    CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP! I must get the site correctly published ASAP to sell concert tickets and time is running out!!

    It will work just fine publishing it to your own domain / host. Just insert the code as a Web Snippet and upload it as you normally would.
    I don't know about changing the PayPal link but you could try to create your own custom made image and just take the PayPal url from the code they gave you and connect it as a hyperlink in iWeb -- I would think it would work fine.

  • How to publish custom web site with own domain name?

    Hey out there. I wonder if anyone can give me any tips on how to publish a web site with my own domain name.
    I have a web site I'm building and I want to purchase a domain name and then publish the site using that domain name.
    I know how to buy a domain name. I have a .mac account so I'm hoping that .mac can host the site. What I don't quite understand how to do is get .mac to host the site using that domain name. I looked through Apple Support but couldn't find what I was looking for. Just wondering if anyone has been in this situation. Thanks in advance.

    Dave ~ Welcome to the discussions. .Mac was re-branded as MobileMe last July. If you're not building your site with iWeb, it's considered to be a "custom" website. These Apple docs may help:
    MobileMe: How to publish a custom website
    iWeb ’08: Using your own domain name
    ...Use this search page to find such documents:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=search
    Note that you don't need to have iLife '08 to be able to direct your domain name to your custom website published to MobileMe. As someone wrote on another thread:
    "My personal domain is linked to my MM but i don't even have ilife on my mac. When you go to the options in MM to link your personal domain to your MM it provides directions that will guide you with setting up your godaddy settings."
    ...Where "MM" is MobileMe here:
    http://me.com/account
    ...+Personal Domain+ tab, and "godaddy" is wherever your domain name is registered.

  • IWeb page didn't publish to .mac

    I created a web site in iWeb and chose command "publish to .mac" when it was ready. I got an error message saying it didn't publish, but not why. (Yes, I already have a .mac account.)
    The page also does not appear under the URL http://web.mac.com/[YourMemberName]. (With the latter part filled in correctly, minus the brackets.)
    Worst of all, I cannot find the original iWeb site, only the index copy saved as a Safari file, so I can't attempt to republish.
    One, where did my original work go?
    Two, why didn't it publish, and what can I do to fix it?

    To see the problem go to http://web.mac.com/robruhn
    I don't seen any problem. Perhaps it is just your local browser cache? Try clearing your cache and using another browser.
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to how the pc
    user can form the link?
    http://web.mac.com/robruhn should work just fine, unless the person at the other end is mistyping it or something. I would suggest that you get rid of the space in your site name and republish, as that might cause problems for some systems (i.e. change Site 3 to Site3 or Site-3 or Site_3).

  • Publish to .Mac/Publish All to .Mac

    Under file I have the option to "Publish to .Mac" or "Publish All to .Mac." What 's the difference?
    Thanks,
    Pasquale

    Hi Pasquale!
    How are you? I hope you are having fun with iWeb!
    "Publish All to .Mac" tells iWeb to publish each and every file of your website to your iDisk.
    "Publish to .Mac" is the default publishing action. The "Publish" button in the lower left corner does the same thing. When you first publish your site, iWeb has to publish everything from scratch. But subsequent publishing only uploads the changed files, which saves time. This only works on .mac. So, the bottomline is that you should probably use the standard "Publish to .Mac" under normal circumstances.
    Sometimes when problems crop up, one recommendation is to use the "Publish ALL to .Mac" option to lay down your site from scratch again. It's like erasing and publishing over again.

  • Publish to .Mac vs. Publish All to ,Mac

    I am using iWeb v 1.1.2, which I know how to use and is satisfactory for my needs. I do have a question, however. What is the difference between the command "Publish to .Mac" vs. "Publish All to .Mac?" I usually use "Publish to .Mac" as this seems quicker and does not seem the change the .js and Slideshow.html files that I hack to autoplay the audio, eliminate the reflections, etc. Although I don't seem to have any problem with this approach, I would like to be sure that I am not missing anything.
    Thank you.

    James,
    Good question. I realized I wasn't sure myself. Here's what I found in iWeb Help:
    "When you publish a site, all the sites and pages you changed since the last time you published are published. In other words, you can't publish only selected websites or webpages; your published websites always match the sites and pages in iWeb.
    You can publish all your sites and pages (not just those changed sinced you last published), by choosing File > Publish All to .Mac. You might want to publish all your pages if, for example, you accidentally delete your site from .Mac, if you change .Mac accounts and want to publish to your new .Mac account, or if you discover missing links or pages in your site."

  • Poor image quality when publishing to .mac

    This is very frustrating.
    I buy a high resolution, high quality, royalty-free image. I resize it and crop it in my image editing program and save it as a maximum size .jpg.
    I preview the image in Apple preview, and also drag the image into my web browser and it looks crisp and sharp.
    I put the image on my iWeb page and publish to .mac. I check my site and the image looks horrible! It looks as though it got compressed again on the lowest setting.
    Something very weird is happening to some people. I've read other discussion on this but they are all unresolved.
    I'm a graphic designer and I've used dreamweaver and published to other servers. I know about image quality and optimization. I'm doing the same steps and procedures I've always done to optimize images and I've never had this problem except when I publish to .mac.
    There is a very weird and serious issue going on and I hope someone can resolve this or has an answer.
    Why would an image look crisp and sharp when I view it in my image editing program or in Apple preview, but when publish to .mac it gets re-compressed?
    This may sound silly but do you think Apple is doing this randomly and automatically to users to save server space on .mac? Maybe they think people wont notice or care?
    I am very upset and frustrated and I can't think of any other reason why this is happening.
    Any advice is helpful. Thanks!

    James,
    Thank you very much for your help.
    Here is what I did. I used Apple grab and took a screen shot of my iWeb page where the low res graphic was in position.
    I used this as a "template" for cropping my original image in my image editing program to the exact size I needed.
    I cropped my original image to the size of my "grab" template, deleted the template layer and saved the sharp image as a maximum file size .jpg and placed it into my iWeb page, with "use original size". It fit perfectly in my layout and looked sharp and crisp.
    Now, I published my site and checked the image.
    You were correct! The image came out crisp and sharp, no more quality loss.
    To test your theory, I went back to iWeb and placed an iWeb mask around the same image and re-published it.
    Sure enough! The same image that was once sharp had terrible image loss.
    So I guess you're right, adding any effects to an image creates the image loss.
    Well, this is a terrible shame because I really like some of the border effects. For example, in a photo gallery, you can use an effect such as a slight page curl with drop shadow that appears only for the thumbnail image but the when you click on the image full size, there is no page curl, just the pure image.
    If I create this slight page curl effect and drop shadow in my image editing program, then both my thumbnail and full size image will have this effect.
    Not only that, but in order to get the thumbnail image to lay over my background color, I would have to re-create the page curl effect and place it on a border of the same background color as my page layout. When someone clicks on my thumbnail they will now get the full size image with the page curl effect and a slight border of the page color.
    Also creating this effect in my image editing program will make it more time consuming when I want to change layout styles, because when I create the page curl / drop shadow in my image editing program, I have to change the background color around each image to match the new background color I'm using for my page. Doing this for 20 images every time I want to change my design is allot of work.
    If this is what I have to do, then I have no choice. But at least I would like my thumbnail to have the effect but NOT my full size image.
    How do I do this so only my iWeb thumbnail image has this effect without iWeb forcing it to a PNG and loosing quality?
    Thanks I appreciate you help!

  • How to publish a single site

    I have several sites in iweb, including travel, wedding, teaching, and research. However, every time I make a change to a single page within one of these sites, and then publish to a folder, all four sites are published. This wouldn't be so bad, except that my travel site has TONS of photos, and thus it takes at least an hour to publish the site.
    Can anyone tell me how to publish just one site to a folder?
    Thanks,
    Aaron

    Hold the phone -- since iWeb is storing the Domain info in Users>username>Library>Application Support>iWeb then wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that different users could have different Domain files, and thusly different sites (from iWeb's point of view)?
    It would seem to me that an easy workaround would be to create a different User account on your box for each of your sites, and then maintain them in iWeb that way. Of course, you'll want to make sure that your media resources (eg. pictures, movies, sounds) are available to all those users (I keep all my multimedia on a separate hard drive from my OS and applications for exactly this reason, but you can also do it by granting privileges to folders).
    I haven't tried this out, but it makes sense on paper.

  • How to publish iWeb online but not through iCloud but someone else?

    How to publish iWeb online but not through iCloud but someone else?
    Mybe Google or woodpress, 
    Or publish iWeb online with iCloud WITHOUT upgrading Lion?

    iWeb will still be around but as Jeff pointed out if you want a blog with visitors comments you should consider converting your iWeb blog to  WordPress.  Rage Software has created an applicaiton that will convert your current iWeb blog w/visitor comments to a Wordpress blog. You can get the application here: Convert Your iWeb Blog to a WordPress Blog.
    If you don't have visitor comments then the iWeb blog will continue to work for you on a 3rd party FTP server.
    If you have photo pages in your website with the accompanying slideshow you'll need to read the following:
    It's now confirmed that iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken.  If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    In addition the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on.
    HOWEVER, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still currently available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those copies still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD.

  • IWebsites. Can anybody help me? Don't know how to publish two dif. sites

    Hi,
    Can anybody help me? I don't know how to publish two different websites to two different domains.
    I have www.windypoint.ca (website is up and running)
    and I have www.oldfriend.ca (website is ready in iWeb, but can't publish to www.oldfriend.ca
    How do I do that?
    Any/Every tip will be appreciated!!!
    Thanks, Marc

    Are you publishing to .Mac or or straight to your domain name via ftp?
    It is just that the process is different for the two.
    If you are using .Mac, then you are publishing using this and re-direct to your domain name at your host. If you are publishing directly, then you publish to a folder and use ftp.
    You need to separate your sites out first, by copying the domain.sites file and then publishing to a folder and then uploading via ftp in the normal way.
