Using iWeb Templates

I have found not only iWeb templates difficult to deal with, but also iPhotos.
Whenever I try to delete a certain saved area - a most important one - I cannot. If I select to utilize a photo template I cannot delete the photo area and when
I login to the website the slideshow puts up the template photos. This is very disturbing.
Also in iPhoto I cannot create a new folder or copy to an existing folder except the Library. If this is the case then why cannot I move photos to a newly created directory or folder after copying them to the library,
I am extremely new to MAC but totally competent with UNIX, LINUX, DOS, and all versions of WINDOWS, ( SADLY )!!
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ron

Ron:
Can you give us some information about what you're using: iPhoto an iWeb version, Quicktime version, the theme and page layout in iWeb, etc.
As far as dragging a photo into an album, where are you dragging from? If you're creating "folders" in the Source pane then yes, you can't drag a photo into them. Then will only take albums, slideshows, books, calendars, cards and other albums.
So instead of creating folders in the Source pane, create an album and put the photos into it. You can use folders to further organize the albums. But albums are the primary photo container (except for rolls of course).
What saved area are you referring to? If you've selected a photo page then yes, you can't delete the section that is used to house the photos for the slideshow. If you don't want that, create a new page with a different layout, Welcome, About me, or blank. Whichever works best for you. The blank lets you completely customize the page, background, etc.

  • Using iWeb Template for Word Press Blogging

    Does anyone know if Apple will allow the use of a template included with software to be uploaded to Word Press for use on a blogging page? I don't know if Word Press would accept it because Apple is touchy about these things. I also sent an email to Word Press asking about this but haven't received a response yet. Since I used to iWeb to design my site how else to bring consistency to my blogging page if I don't use Apple's web space?

    I've already designed a great looking site with iWeb and don't want to change it. The Word Press templates are so boring. The Word Press site says it does allow people to upload customized templates but they seem concerned about copyright infringement and go out of their way to say that just making a minor change to someone else's template is not adequate. Hmm, can I legitimately turn "else" into a possessive? I suppose I could just point my Internet domain to the web.mac.com space I have with Apple but I'm not sure the comments and other features would work right. Why not just use the Apple site? First, the naming convention is more than people are used to; second, Apple seems to have too many outages with dot mac, now mobile me site.

  • Can iWeb be used without templates?

    I haven't used iWeb yet because when I open it, it wants me to select a template. I click cancel and it closes.
    I'd like to use it for connecting to my FTP server, downloading web pages, updating them locally and sending the updates back to the FTP server. Is that possible?
    If not, is there a free FTP server I can use? I'll use a text editor to update HTML.

    You may have already had this answered in the other forum, but in case not:
    I'd like to use it for connecting to my FTP server, downloading web pages, updating them locally and sending the updates back to the FTP server. Is that possible?
    No. iWeb works only by creating from its own templates. It cannot import existing html files, not even the ones it has uploaded itself.
    If not, is there a free FTP server I can use? I'll use a text editor to update HTML.
    I think you actually mean 'client' (program for uploading), not 'server' (the remote computer to which pages are uploaded). Kompozer is a free WYSIWYG web page editor and creator which can also directly upload web pages using FTP (though not to an iDisk, which uses WebDAV). CyberDuck is a free ftp and WebDAV client which can upload using either protocol.

  • How can I use iweb 1.1.2 for more than one user account on my macbook?

    I wonder if someone can guide me or point me to a previous answer on this, since I haven't found one. I'm simply trying to use iweb 1.1.2 on two user accounts (both labled as administrators) on our macbook. The program functions fine on one account, but when I switch over to another user account on the computer iweb will open, but does not let me start a new page, save, etc.
    Thanks much for any response.

    Welcome to the discussions. If iWeb's menus are greyed out, the following trick has worked for some:
    In the user account which does not let you start a new page, save, etc. — Quit iWeb. Start iPhoto. Select a couple of photos, click on the iWeb icon at lower right and choose Photo Page. iWeb will open up and invite you to choose a template for your new Photos page. Choose any template so that the page is created and then delete that newly created page.
    ...Now perhaps things are no longer greyed out in iWeb.

  • Can't get rid of stock photo when using iWeb but publishing to non-MobileMe

    On one of my pages I have a vertical column of photos with my photos from iPhoto that I dragged and dropped into iWeb. The page was originally based on an iWeb template, though I cannot remember which one.
    The problem I am having is that the stock photo sometimes shows up when I publish the website - even though I have dropped a photo in the space, saved it and re-published it. I have gone into the files and deleted the stock photo and I even went to my webhost and deleted the stupid thing there as well. Regardless, the #*!!%@ thing keeps showing up.
    I have reloaded the page to my webhost multiple times. I had the same problem a day or two ago and eventually the stock photo stopped showing up, but I have no idea what kind of hocus pocus made it finally disappear and the correct photo show in its place.
    Any ideas?
    thanks,
    roxpat

    It is apparently an iWeb issue. In the template that I used, I guess some aspects are just "in there" and are not able to be removed.
    I ultimately removed all of the photos from the page since they had originally started as "drops" into the placeholders and put my photos in manually (not a big deal, of course). I saved it and "published it" to the folder. . .and there was that stupid photo again. I yanked the photo and put it in the trash and went to my webhost and removed the same photo. . .and finally the stock photo went away.
    Every time I update the site (or those pages, anyway), I have to go in and remove that #%^#^& photo.
    The moral of the story is that I need to just rebuild the page from scratch - without a template. It shouldn't be too hard, but it's more effort than I want to exert at this point

  • Using iWeb as a website builder. Heplp please.

    Dear all, very sorry to ask what I am sure is a very straightforward question but your help would be greatly appreciated. I'd like to use iWeb as a simple website design tool for a community website I have to build. We have our own hosting server capacity and our own registered domain name. Can I design my site using iWeb and then upload to this 3rd party server and have people go to this site by typing in my domain (such as www.mylocalcommunity.co.uk ? Also, the Apple Store demo suggests the templates have page headings like 'My Page' which i'd want to change. Could I do this so its 'Our Page' for example ? Many thanks for such stupid questions !

    Hi,
    In a word Yes.
    This is why you have the two options : Publish to .Mac and Publish to a Folder.
    You want Publish to a Folder.
    You will then upload this folder contents to your hosted site. If empty, that is all you need to do.
    If you have a domain you need to tell your registrar which hosting service you want it to point to. That is a bit beyond the scope of a simple iWeb explanation, though ; suffice it to say you could get better info from your hosting service.
    In what regards page names, of course you can change them.

  • Why don't I have the 'Fine Line' iWeb template?

    I've seen it being used in most of the iWeb tutorials, and I would really like to use it for my site... But I don't have it.
    It would be great if someone could help, I've asked in a few other forums and no one could give me an answer.
    Thanks a lot(:

    If you are using iWeb 08, then the Fine Line template was not part of this and I think it is a new template with iWeb 09.
    If you are using iWeb 09 and still cannot get it, then perhaps consider re-loading iWeb 09 from your iLife 09 disc and seeing if this makes a difference - remember to back up your domain.sites files before re-intalling though.

  • Does and one know if you can change the navigation menu at the top of the iWeb template pages?

    Does and one know if you can change the navigation menu at the top of the iWeb template pages? I need to make the background a little wider.

    It depends on which template you use.
    You can also hide the default navigation and build your own which allows more freedom of design and is better for search engine optimization...

    Make sure you use web-safe fonts in your navigation...

  • Can iWeb templates be modified?

    I last used iWeb to set up a travelogue in 2006. I have 3.0.4 ('09, I think).
    I may be remembering why I didn't use a template before--because I wanted something I couldn't get with the templates.
    Am I correct that I can't change a background or text color, or choose to center text which is flush left on an iWeb template?
    Karen

    Jeff, you're a prince. I've printed out your last posts & dragged & dropped the 2 samples to my desktop, from which I can then use them I was able to do the web browser background instructions. It worked! Cool.
    I'm sure this will turn out to be embarrassingly self-evident, but how did you 'copy the page background image and paste it into preview'? It has no 'handles' allowing it to be selected. Nor could I locate 'Preview'.
    Now trying the paper maneuver you explained, I'm a bit stuck. What do I select for 'Page Background? I now have removed the Formal Theme text boxes, have changed footer pixels to '0', and have a horizontal rectangle of the ivory paper there. How do I make it disappear so I can then replace it with the size-able box as you describe?
    By the way, I noticed right off in your video was how you changed the width of the page immediately. How did you choose 900--and I forget the vertical pixels you chose but will check again. I hate how small the page content size is. Is there a 'standard' size these days for website width & height?
    Again, thanks.

  • Using iweb for school website

    Hi
    This may have been answered before but I cant find it in the discussion. I want to set up a website for a very small school (24 students)using iweb. Do I have to use Apple for the ISP and if so is it the same rate as for a private individual?
    Anyone out there done the same thing? I have been using the moogle style and they are unbelievably complicated for someone like me! Iweb seems to solve those tech problems and I would love to use it.
    Thanks

    It is extremely easy to produce a site like this within iWeb. Just start with a white template so that you can design is yourself as they have done.
    To get the colours, what they have done and you can do is create a text box and then use either colour fill or gradient fill to achieve the contrast in colours. They have then placed photos and their logos over this. You could even achieve the same effect with a shape too with a rounded or a square edge that is colour or gradient filled.
    For the navigation bars, all you need do is to go to the Inspector and hide the page template nav bar and create your own as they have done. They have probably created theirs by using either shapes or text boxes that are again colour/gradient filled. You can then enhance the look by using picture frames to make them stand out more. Don't forget to hyperlink them though. The other nav bar is just done using different text styles and colours.
    It is really as simple as that and to make it even more effective you can change the colour of the page background and also the browser background for even more effect. Just open Inspector and go to Page Layout where all these changes can be made.

  • Looking for pages designd using iWeb

    hi and greetings from germany,
    i'm looking for pages designd using iWeb to get an impression how it is working. I would like to build pages with text and i would like to know if it is possible to change or delete the placeholders for photos in the templates.
    sorry - i can only use that english i learnd at school long ago ... ;-))

    http://www.happyadam.com
    The URL above points to my iWeb - spent a couple of hours with this over the weekend. It's quite flexible - takes a little getting used to (if you've used Pages then it's similar). There's not many templates but it's a good starting point.
    The worst thing is the .Mac servers - they're very slow for hosting these iWebs as many others have found.

  • Putting a rollover gif into an iweb template

    hi, i am using iWeb for the first time and have created my website using a template but i want to add a gif to the page so when people roll over it, the picture changes. i have made the gif in photoshop and image ready and can only export it as an html file with 2 linked image files which works fine in a browser on its own but i can't find anywhere in iweb to place the html file. i can't 'drag and drop' it as i have been able to with everything else. there might be a really simple solution and if anyone knows it, i would very much appreciate your help!

    hi there james,
    thanks very much for your help.
    the link you posted is pretty much exactly what i'm trying to do.
    yes i'm on .Mac, have posted it as you said:
    http://homepage.mac.com/benhillisdesign/shockrollover/shockingroll.html
    and this is where i want to put it:
    http://web.mac.com/benhillisdesign/iWeb/%3Abenhillisdesign%3A/PLAY.html
    you can see i currently have an animated gif in there, i just want to replace that with my new rollover gif.
    thans again for your very quick reply, i look forward to the next step...
    cheers,

    Are you hosting your site on .Mac or another host?
    Either way, at the very least you'll need to upload
    the HTML files that you have now to your server. If
    you are hosting with .Mac, then the easiest place to
    put this is on your iDisk/Sites/ folder. This would
    be the first step in getting the stuff into your iWeb
    page. As you can see, it isn't going to be as simple
    as drag and drop like for regular images. But it
    won't be that difficult either. You'll be doing a
    bit of editing of the iWeb generated HTML files.
    I assume that you have all the files associated with
    this image in a folder. Just copy the whole folder
    into iDisk/Sites/ and you should be able to access
    the image with a browser using the following URL
    format:
    http://homepage.mac.com/username/foldername/index.html
    username = your .Mac account username
    foldername = the name of the folder you copied to
    iDisk/Sites/
    index.html = the name of your default start file.
    Anyways, once you have gotten the image folder copied
    to your iDisk/Sites/ folder or your server, post back
    and let me know the URL that you use to access the
    image. We can go from there...
    Here's an example of something similar on my iWeb
    pages...

  • Using iweb...

    Ok I've read the tutorial... some background
    I've done many web sites and write my own html. I've only done it using homesite on a PC. So now every time i want to change a web site I have to fire up the old PC. So I'm trying to learn how to use iWeb. There isn't an html option correct? where I can see the html and tweak it?
    Also trying to learn the Apple way... I'm trying to make a web site how iWeb works... graphically and i am reading the instructions for making a blog. Ok... so... It says to add a blank page - did that. The choose "blog" on the right side of the page. I don't see the words "blog" anywhere and I don't have anything on the right side of my page. I've looked thru the menu, the things on the bottom of the page (themes, shapes {not sure what that is}, web widgets. Where the heck is the blog or podcast?
    Also in the instructions it talks about having to have a mobileme subscription, which I do, but some of my web sites are in other places (comcast free space, go daddy) can I set it up to ftp to other servers?
    Sorry for all the questions but its confusing to unlearn and relearn.

    Yes — In iWeb, choose File > Publish to a Folder, then FTP the folder to the server. See these articles:

    I just installed iLife 08 on my iBook. There were some features that I really liked and wanted. But, it looks like you don't have as much freedom of design as in the previous version. In IWeb 06 you could set gradients, pictures, etc. as background on your pages. You could also resize the page. I don't see that in ILife 08. Am I missing something?
