IWeb 08 and Podcast Maker

I've recently started making podcasts for a radio station I help out on. Intially what I have done is used Garage Band and iWeb to create a podcast page/feed on my mobile me site. However on submitting this to itunes I could not get the main podcast art to display.
However I then discovered podcast maker, that simplifys the whole process and is generally much more podcast friendly.
What I want to know is if i can replace the Iweb podcast feed with the podcast maker xml without screwing up my webpage and the podcast in the itunes store

You do not need any of those apps to manage your domain.sites2.
1) You can double-click on it to start iweb.
2) Domain.sites2 does not have to be named as such, they can be named anything as long as you keep .sites2 extension:
http://11mystics.com/blog/2007/09/08/how-do-you-manage-multiple-domain-files-for -iweb/
3) You can start a new Domain.sites2 with a simpe AppleScript, see my posts here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6007612
on #3, if it is too much to understand; you can email me at hac<dot>le@sbcglobal<dot>net , I'll send you the AppleScript.
Making a new domain.sites2 is quite important, and a few of you here know that you can not merge your domain.sites2.
And the reason is iWeb2 is loaded with UUIDs and when you duplicate an existing domain.sites2, you will have problems.
Who here wants to know about UUID and iweb?

How to create website on iweb and make it public, and tell me how to put a password on it.

Hi, can you tell me how to create website on iweb and make it public, and tell me how to put a password on it, thanks.

Find a webhosting company :

They will provide the instructions how to password protect a directory (=folder)?
Until you find one, you can practice on your own computer :

Has anyone used Audacity to create a Podcast on a PC and then make it available on itunes?

Has anyone used Audacity to create a Podcast on a PC and then make it available on itunes? If you have used Audacity is it a good program to use? Any tips or suggestions?

Almost certainly. You can use any program which does what you want: the end product has to be an .mp3 or .m4a file. After that it's a question of making the feed, either writing it yourself or more likely using a program or online service.
Audacity is a useful program, and free, and you can certainly do the sort of things you need to make a podcast. I prefer Amadeus Pro, which costs $59.99 and has recently been updated with better multi-track facilities: I always fled that Audacity was awkward to use by comparison and occasionally flaky, but we're probably splitting hairs here: it would certainly be a good place to start.

It depends on where you publish.

Podcast Maker and category issues

I have been using Podcast Maker to upload my podcasts (The Hottoycast).
When I launched the app, I saw none of my previous episodes there. I made the mistake of just launching the app a fres as apposed to opening viw the previous file.
Forgetting how it's done I just created a new episode not realising that it would over run the existing lot.
I also changed the category from 'podcasting' to 'hobbies' in the Edit Podcast panel on Podcast Maker.
So I now have only one episode of 'My Podcast' in 'Hobbies'.
When it should be 'The Hottoycast' in Hobbies and there should be five.
My guess is that 'My Podcast' in Hobbies has over run The Hottoycast in Podcasting.
To fix this i decided to go load all five episodes into Podcast Maker and publish all five episodes together in the right category of 'hobbies'.
This will now probably make all five episodes update the RSS feed and they will have todays date as apposed to having the rdate of creation.
Right now I only see 'My Podcast' with The Hottoycast Episode Five.
I also say that in my Itunes Episode one came down.
Will everthing still be ok having uploaded all five epiosdes together? will all five episodes be in the same category? will The Hottoycast override 'My Podcast'
Thanks in advance,
Eamon

Changing the category simply changes the labelling in the feed, much the same as changing data in the subtitle or summary. It won't have any other effect.

Viewing new comments on blogs and podcasts

Hello,
So, I open up iweb and the symbol with the number pops up on the iweb icon(which from what I've gathered is the "new comments"). Is there a way to just check the new comments, or do I have to go through my site and find them one by one. I allow comments on my pictures(as well as my blog and podcast) and I have a lot of pictures, so going through one by one to find comments doesn't seem to make much sense because it would take forever.
Thanks for the help.
Jimmy

I just spent a lot of time trying to figure this out myself, but I finally did.
In iWeb, look to the left side of the page names in the left hand column. You will see a blue dot next to any page with new comments somewhere within. If the comment is for a blog entry, the blue dot will be next to the main blog page. Click on "entries" under that and look for the blue dot to the left of the blog entry titles.
If the comment is on a photo, there will be a little comment icon on all photos where comments have been left. The icon is hard to see and there's no apparent way to tell which photo might have new comments that I can see, bu it's there. The icon is a little white bubble in the bottom right hand corner of the photo -- it's a bit hard to see.

Maximum Number of RSS Feeds and Podcasts

Hello All.
Can a single web site created with iWeb have multiple podcasts, blogs, etc.?
I ask because I am concerned that having two different podcasts, for example, may mess up the RSS information causing problems for people who may have subscribed to one podcast, but not both.
Does that make sense? Thanks.

Hi Potsnpans,
I can tell my experience with my double Podcasts.
First I started the original Podcast inside of my existing Blog site.
A couple of weeks later, I realized I should set up my Podcast as an individual site, separated from Blog. So, I created a new Podcast site with slightly different site name. Then, what happens to me was:
• The old Podcast was gone from the iTunes Podcast list. Though I typed in and searched, the answer was "not existing." But actually the files were in my iWeb, and could view on the net. (I call it "Exile" files.)
• Also, the strange things happened to the new Podcast site.
Although it was delivered by RSS, I couldn't search.
Therefore, iWeb is supposed to be rejecting "doubled" Podcasts from one .Mac account.
This iWeb has a million of uncertain conditions, I think (and hope) Team .Mac is improving so many functions and delivering conditions. We'd be better waiting for the new version or patch ups.
Did I make it clear?

Can anyone tell me the difference between the rss.xml and podcast.xml?

I have the Podcast maker program. Can anyone tell me the difference between the rss.xml and podcast.xml? How do they differ? What do I use each of them for? Where should I put them in my directory?

Podcast Maker sets up your podcast from media files you enter into it; you enter the summary and description. It then publishes to your iDisk or other server, and in the process created the podcast.xml file which you can submit to iTunes.
It doesn't create an rss.xml file: it sounds as if you are also creating the podcast in iWeb, which does. This has the advantage of creating a web page; it will also create the rss.xml file.
Both are valid - of course if there are any differences between the version in Podcast Maker and the version in iWeb then the xml files will be different. But basically you seem to be creating two versions of the same podcast - if you are making it in iWeb then the Podcast maker version is really redundant (though I prefer it for podcast creation). If you want to go on using both I should use the podcast.xml feed it creates.

How can I sync both Music files and Podcasts to my Ipod shuffle 4th gen?

I have been trying to do this for a very long time. I own an Ipod shuffle 4th generation and I want to be able to listen to music, podcasts, etc without having to switch between the different formats using Itunes. Everytime I try to sync music and podcasts to my Ipod, it will only play one of the two types but not both. I have plenty of space on my Ipod but it just won't sync music and podcasts together. I have tried using Smart playlists but whenever I try to add the different types of media, it shows nothing in the playlist. Any help with this would be appreciated.

If you are using automatic syncing, you need to set up syncing on the shuffle's Music tab and Podcasts tab in iTunes...
Select your shuffle in iTunes. There is a bar of "tabs" (starting with Summary).
Click on Music there. This Music tab is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the shuffle. Sync Music is checkmarked, if you use automatic syncing. Your entire iTunes Music library (plus podcasts) probably will not fit, so you can select to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Below that, make a selection of songs to sync by checkmarking playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres. For example, if you want to keep it simple, create a new playlist in iTunes and put ALL songs you want on the shuffle on that playlist. Back on the Music tab, find and checkmark only that one playlist under Playlists as your selection of songs.
Click on the Podcasts tab next. This is where you tell iTunes how to sync podcasts to the shuffle. Sync Podcasts is checkmarked. Make you selection of podcast episodes below.
When you click Apply, your selection of songs and podcasts sync to the shuffle. Going forward, all changes to your iTunes library that relate to your selection on the two tabs sync automatically when you connect the shuffle, or when you click Sync.
When you use the shuffle, podcasts do not play from the default All Songs list. To play podcast episodes, you use the VoiceOver feature to select the podcast from the playlist menu.
This document has information about setting up and using VoiceOver on a shuffle
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4322
You can also play podcast episodes from a playlist. If you put podcast episodes on a playlist, that playlist needs to be checkmarked on the Podcasts tab, where is says Include Episodes from Playlists. You can then use VoiceOver to select that playlist from the playlist menu. To play podcast episodes from a playlist, the shuffle's power switch must be in the play-in-order (middle) position. The podcast episodes will then play in playlist order (as you organized them in iTunes before syncing).

PLEASE CONTINUE iWeb (and site) and Gallery

I bought a mac so easy it was to share my photos and website with iweb and Gallery, and able to make DVDs very easily.

Deleted pages in iWeb and on hosting site but still appear in navbar?

I've deleted a couple of pages in a site built in iWeb and also deleted the files and html of those pages where my site is hosted (Earthlink). However, I'm still seeing the names of those pages in the navbar — NOT in iWeb, but when i actually access the site. The pages themselves are not there anymore, but their names remain in the navbar (and click through to an error msg).
This makes me think I haven't uploaded all the necessary changes. Where does the code for the navbar reside? I reloaded the home file+html (among other pages) but not the index.

If you are using the iWeb default navigation, try publishing to a local folder and upload the feed.xml with your FTP application.

IWeb and Club web site...access restricted to club members

I have just volunteered to 'think about' doing our local harley owners group website since the last webmaster has jacked it in.
The old site has gone and I will have to start from fresh. It will be hosted on a commercial local server with server space and domain name already registered.
I have seen reference to password protected areas of websites created using iWeb, and although possible it does not seem that iWeb is actually designed for the job. Also the threads i have seen do not seem to be referring to multiple usernames and pwds, stored in a database, but rather a single username/pwd
What the proposed new site needs is a public area, plus a private area with each member having access using there own Username and password. The Private area would need a Classified 'For sale ' area with members being to add and upload their own ads.
is this sort of thing possible from within iWeb or is it way outside its capabilities?
I thought it best to ask now...before I build the basic public site, and make a start on the private section...only to then find it is not possible
Thanks
Neil

Something exactly like that....fancy an unpaid job?
Guess I'll have to get to grips with the thing (iWeb) and see what I can do.
Before I ask any more questions, I'll have to have a play with it before asking such things as ....how did you do......
I made this one up using it a week or so ago...
http://www.paisnel.co.uk/hog
My old ones from years back were done in ....who knows...some freeware Windows WYSIWYG editors
http://old.paisnel.co.uk
and the later one just using the built in gallery software offered by the hosting site
http://paisnel.co.uk
I never really did learn this 'black art' of html design. and have been trying to avoid doing so.

ILife 08 iWeb 08 - Podcast Not Working HELP!

I may not have explained myself in my last post, so I'll try again. o.k. Who has had a problem with the new 08 stuff? I am not a computer genius and do my podcast in garageband, share it with iWeb, and publish with .mac. I am not good at code and have gone this route becasue it was being done for me. Since changing to 08, my podcast stopped working. I spoke to the "Genius" at the Apple store and he helped my change my website by removing the "iWeb" from the forwarded address. Now my website works. However, he had no clue on how to change this in iTunes. How can I get iWeb 08 and iTunes to work together to play my podcasts again? Any help would be apppreciated. My URL from the iTunes store is: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=264963988

Godaddy installed the
m4a MIME type on my hosting acount
Very useful info that some servers need this to be done! It would be nice to know exactly how they did it, but I suspect it was an addition to the .htaccess file along the lines of
AddType audio/x-m4a m4a
AddType audio/x-m4b m4b
If you can see the .htaccess or .config file in your space I would be interested to know if it says something like this.

IWeb and 2 Moblie Me Accounts?

I have 2 web sites published through iWeb. Each has its own .Mac / Mobile Me account. pixelportraitpro.com and gmilesband.com respectively. How do I switch between the accounts to upload changes in I Web? The 1st account ( .Mac) I created 1 year ago and published my 1st site to. The second account (mobile me) I created last month and published
the 2nd site to. The green lighted URL at the bottom of iWeb indicates the gmilesband.com account!
I need to update the pixelportraitpro.com account and can not figure out how to switch iWeb back to
that account? Also-any photo galleries I create in iPhoto are in the gmilesband account as well!
I need to switch this back to the pixelportraitpro account and assume it will be automatic as soom as I can figure out the iWeb account switch!
Plaese Advise if you know how!
Thanks
Gary

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The easiest way to do what you want is to create a second user account on your mac for Site 2 and use for your current account for Site 1. For each Mac account log into the respective MMe account via the System/MobileMe preferences pane.
Each Mac account can now edit and publish the site for that MMe account automatically. To make changing Mac accounts easy just turn on Fast User Switching in the System/Accounts pane under Login Options.
Duplicate the domain file that's in your current User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and move it to the same location in Mac account 2. In Mac 1 open iweb and delete site 2. In Mac 2 open iWeb and delete site 1. Now you have the to Mac accounts set up to manage their respective sites.
