Web positioning - no text in iweb

I used iweb template, did not use their menus and organised my website that way. It is for my sister's restaurant and postioning is a real issue.
does anyone know how I can add text that would be searched by spiders, how I can create metatags and add keywords? When the site is completely finished, I will go in the HTML source and add all this by hand unless someone has a better idea. If it doesn't work, i will recreate the site with freeway, but it is a fair amount of work.
Has anyone tried to add simple text at the bottom of each page that would simply be a summary of the page in plaintext so that search engine would get some food? I know that hiding text playing with color is not a good idea but what about straight plain text?
any expert who could shed some light?
my web, nearly all translated in english, french and dutch, except the menus is at:

Bernard,
Hello again! I'm glad to see that you've got all those flags working! Like I've told you before....very classy looking site. In terms of what you are asking, check this thread out...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=525376&tstart=0
This fellow put plain text keywords on his pages and then made them "invisible" by matching the color of the text and background. I think this method would probably work in your favor. Keep in mind that this doesn't determine if or when your site will be found by the search engines, but it may provide simpler bits of information that may affect your ranking once the search engines have found you.
In terms of preventing your plain text from getting converted to an image, I guess changing the color would not trigger this judging by this most recent report. Try it out and let us know. Good luck to you, Bernard!
If you find this information useful, please take the time to provide me with feedback by marking my reply as "solved" or "helpful" using those little buttons that you see in the title bar of this reply. I'd really appreciate it!

  • Text in iWeb pages.

    Dear all:
    I am experiencing a problem with iWeb.
    The text I create on iWeb pages don't seem to be rendered as text but rather images. After I created several pages for my business' web page, publish them to a folder and open with any browser (I use Safari) the text can't be selected but appears as one image block that I can drag just like an image and save to my desktop.
    Is this the way iWeb handles text ?
    This obviously represents a big problem as the pages can not be properly indexed with search engines such as Google and it affects the overall ranking of my business' web site.
    How can iWeb create text that is rendered as text once pages are published ?
    In case it can't what is one supposed to do to have the text on the pages appear as text to the spiders from search engines ?
    Thank you in advance,
    Joseph Chamberlain

    This ALT tags you are referring to, are they the tags
    associated with images for accessibility purposes
    (visually impaired users) ?
    I don't know if they are used in that way. I do know that this text in the ALT tags is displayed whenever the actual image becomes unavailable. Have a look at the source HTML of your own page to get an idea of what this looks like.
    In regards to keywords how can one enter keywords for
    differenet iWeb pages to improve ranking with search
    engines ?
    I think with the modern search engines like Google, keywords and other meta-information has become less useful and certainly not necessary to get your page indexed properly. These search engines work mostly off contextual information like the ALT tags and other things contained in the HTML code. If you would like to add meta information, that is certainly possible....but not through iWeb directly. You would need to edit the HTML and add them yourself. Here is a thread in which I have posted the general format...

  • Can't select text in iWeb published pages

    I need to rebuild pages from existing ones on the web that were made with iWeb 09.
    Text boxes that also include inserted images appear to have lost the ability to have their text highlighted and copied off the web (existing) pages.
    Boxes that contain ONLY text seem to be selectable, just fine, but if ANY image has been inserted in the text stream when the page was designed, attempting to select just the text ends up selecting the entire box, which is not very helpful.
    Is there a way around this?

    Thanks so much for enlightening me on the VPR (very peculiar results) hidden inside iWeb 09.
    Whoda thunk that simply adding a simple drop shadow onto text would mess up the entire selectability of every bit of adjacent text in that text box?
    That qualifies for the IBotY (Institutionalized Bug of the Year) award. Surely the code writers should have seen this one coming and worked around it by automatically selecting and isolating the drop-shadowed text?
    Now a new conundrum.
    After fixing the text by dropping it into in-line text boxes, all is well except (wait for it)
    Just One More Thing.
    The boxes, now selectable, show up just fine in iWeb, all neatly packed together the way I want the layout to look.
    BUT
    They float apart. The page is tall, but in Safari, at least, some of the boxes are now floating down-page a few or several dozen pixels. See if it does it on your computer here: http://www.hdslrreview.com/HDSLRreview/Cameras.html

  • What do i do to position the text ?

    Hi everyone,
    i'm new to dreamweaver and coding in general. i am making my first web page using photoshop and dreamweaver and it seems that so far i have made good progress on this but the problem is that i can't position the text where i want. see the picture below.
    [html]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/pedped/pic1.jpg[/html]
    this is the photoshop version and as you can see there are three different types of text in each box.
    now what i have done so far is that i have created a DIV for second box and a new style sheet called box2 and in this box2 i have add 3 different rules for each text format ( i don't know what i have done is right or now) and i can't use margin or anything else to move my text to right or down to position my text correctly. i would appreciate your help.

    You need to use either padding or margin rules to move the text within the box.. no other way to do it really.
    You could use padding in #box p { } rule.  This rule would style any <p> (paragraph) tag in a box with the ID of Box.
    eg:  #box p {font-size: 12px; color: black, padding-top: 5px;}
    However, before going any further I have to warn you that you should never let an image editor create the html for you.  You need to learn how to slice up the PShop comp and build the page in Dreamweaver yourself.
    Image-ready has created a very fragile code base.. here are the reasons why not to use an image editor to write your html:
    http://apptools.com/rants/spans.php
    The code you provided shows no use of a Doctype at the top of your code - a DTD is need to ensure that your page is rendered as it should in all browsers.  Without a DTD the page will render in quirks mode in non-compliant browsers and not render correctly.  Usually this happened with very early versions of Dreamweaver, what version are you using?
    DOCTYPES:
    Reference:   http://www.alistapart.com/articles/doctype/

    These tutorials may help you move forward with using Dreamweaver - You really should learn basic html and css - once you do,, working with Dreamweaver will be much easier.

  • I have recently had to fire my web designer who was using iWeb.  Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the site to open in iWeb on my new MacBook Pro.  Is there a way?

    I have recently had to fire my web designer who was using iWeb.  Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the site to open in iWeb on my new MacBook Pro.  Is there a way?

    Firstly iWeb CAN'T IMPORT any kind of published html code as it has no import facility.  You can however add html code, javascript and css by selecting the html snippet and placing it on your page the entering the code in here and clicking on Apply.  You DO NOT create a shape as you say - you use the html snippet and place your code in there.
    There are not really a lot of ways in which you can write code - if you want to enter small amounts of code, then you would use an ordinary text editor to do this such as Text Edit on a Mac or Text Wrangler.  If you want to add code to iWeb like this, then you would either use the html snippet method in iWeb itself or you would have to publish the site to a local folder from iWeb and open the relevant html page with a text editor and add the additional code in this way and then publish.  However, if he decided to add the code with a text editor, then you would have to upload the pages directly to the server using an ftp client - if you try to upload the site directly from iWeb, all the extra code will be overwritten.
    As for checking whether the site was created using iWeb, all you need do is view the site in Safari and then click on View and then select View Source Code and it will tell you.
    Even thoough extra code was added to the site and he might well have done this by publishing to a local folder and adding the code with a text editor, he should still have the domain file for the site too.
    Ask again.  I'm sure that for adding quick code, most would not want to use programmes such as Dreamweaver, but a simple text editor will suffice.  As OT already said, if he claims that he does not have the domain.sites file, then try Flux 4 which is a web design programme and has full import facilities.  At least this way, if he just gives you the published version of the site, you have some way of opening it.
    You can download a free trial of Flux 4 and you can also purchase the full version from the Mac App Store if you decide you like it.

  • My hard drive crashed recently and i can no longer see my web site address in the iWeb side bar

    I can n o longer see my web site address in the iweb side bar, how can I relocate it so i can edit my website

    Let me start with the general advise...
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

    how to show only date in BO webi 3.1 text box for e.g:-
    01/01/2005  (no time only date)

    hi,
    just check by which format your date is coming
    just create a one variable and check =UserResponse("Transaction Date From (mm/dd/yy)")
    if your output is in format of("mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a")
    then some format we have to write in todate syntax
    then your final formula for date would be
    =FormatDate(ToDate(UserResponse("Transaction Date From (mm/dd/yy)");"mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss A");"dd/mm/yyyy")

  • Editing Arabic text in iWeb

    I've entered some Arabic text into iWeb and don't seem to be edit it. Need I say more? It's behaving like a solid block (image perhaps?).
    This is the markup: <p class="paragraph_style_6">                          المكتبة العربية الإسلامية                                  <br /></p>
    And, yes, there are spaces before and after, which I can't get rid of either. Incidentally, or perhaps not, for some reason most of my paragraph styles are "4" but this is "6". It's supposed to be the same as the others, not sure why it's different nor how to change it.

    mustafa.allawati wrote:
    the letters "magically" started joining each other.
    Non-joining Arabic letters normally means you are trying to use a Windows Arabic font.  Instead use one of those that comes with OS X, like Geeza Pro.  It's a completely different problem than the OP's editing difficulty.
    I am curious how easy you find it to edit your Arabic text.  In the past iWeb had such serious bugs regarding cursor action and formatting issues that it was normally advised that people use a different app.

    Embedding a link in text or an image only works when you are composing messages in HTML format. If plain text is your default, hold Shift when you click Write, Reply or Forward to compose in HTML format.

    I don't see any reason why being an Argentine company means
    that their ads
    should be written in poor English.
    In writing in an advertisement for a commercial enterprise -
    one which is
    completely centered around language - broken English
    definitely SHOULD be
    held against them, of course.
    I never suggested or even slightly implied that bad English
    was directly
    related to intelligence. We're talking about the impression
    made by an
    advertisement for a business, posted on an English-speaking
    forum.

    Hi chandra,
    You can move the text into one variable in the print
    program and in the layout form call this as
    &VAR&.
    Thanks&Regards,

  • Good web design software to replace iWeb

    Hello There,
    I have been using iWeb for a while now, and despite its limitations, I like it.  Now that Apple has discontinued (or will discontinue) MobileMe and some of the features wont be available any more, I decided to move to another web-design program.
    I have downloaded the trial of rapidweaver (the one with the 3 page limit) so I could play with it and see what it was like.  It is HORRIBLE, it is not easy to use, importing pictures seems pretty impossible.  I cant insert pictures like I can in iWeb, I cant drag things around like I can in iWeb - the whole program seems to be template and text based.
    I don't really know how to do coding or anything, so I am not looking for a fancy web-design tool that costs a fortune.  But I want something that I can actually use.  I want to do the following;
    Create pages from scratch if I want to
    Insert images and reposition them
    Insert images into my text and aline them
    Have a blog
    Have a photo gallery
    insert movies (when I want to share them)
    have a chat room
    Have a nice looking site without having to do any serious heavy coding (because I don't really know how to)
    Can someone please suggest to me a good website design program that is comparable to iWeb and with which I can replace the afore mentioned iWeb.  Eervyone says RapidWeaver, but I really didnt like it. 

    Just to promote iWeb for a bit more read the following in case you hadn't considered it:
    As you now know 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
    Currently if the site is published directly from iWeb to the 3rd party server the RSS feed and slideshow subscription features will work. However, if the site is first published to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded to the sever with a 3rd party FTP client those two features will be broken.
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    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: iW14 - Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    NOTE: the iLife 11 boxed version Is no longer available at the online Apple Store.  To get a copy you'll have to try Amazon.com or eBay.com.
    Now that being said there's been a lot of discussion on replacements to iWeb.  Most of the applications are template driven and make it difficult to start with a clean page.  Roddy has more experience in evalutating those apps.  I decided on Flux.  It's a drag and drop, WYSIWYG application with easy code insertion.  If you've ever added a  3rd party slideshow to an iWeb page with an HTML snippet you can view this Flux tutorial page on how I did it with Flux: F03 - Adding a SimpleViewer Slideshow to a Web Page or this tutorial on adding a multi page PDF document to a web page: F02 - Adding a PDF Document to a Web Page.
    I have to admit it takes a little study but the video tutorials at the Flux site and those 3rd party videos on YouTube help quite a bit.
    If you search this community for "iWeb alternatives" you should get a list of topics discussing the other alternatives.
    OT
