Adding a blog without Business Catalyst

I can't be the first to ask about this: Clients want blogs added to their site but do not want to opt for Business Catalyst hosting. What options are available that allow the creation of a blog that will integrate well with a non-BC site, and that will actually increase site rankings for the site. Many of the blog solutions won't help with the SEO of the site they're on because they're not actually hosted on the site itself, merely a feed from another separate site.
I have a new client who is a major player in the mortgage industry who wants a complete corporate makeover and new branding, and they must have a blog on their site. There's an excellent budget for the project, and I have accepted the job. I now have to make it work and figure out a solution. I'm hoping the geniuses at Muse and in the Muse community will be able to point me in the correct direction on this thorny problem.

Hi,
Please take a look at this post : Re: Ho do i add a wordpress blog to my site?

Using Adobe Muse without Business Catalyst

Hi All,
I'm currently in the planning stages of designing a website for on of my clilents and was wondering what the limitations are when usnig MUSE without Business Catalyst? My client already has hosting package set up and wants to use Google Analytics to get data from the site so a Business Catalyst account wouldn't really be needed.
Things they have requested on the site are an online shopping cart and a news page that they can update themselves (using a basic CMS system).
I guess my question is, are these two features possible in MUSE without Business Catalyst or would I be better off using something like Freeway Pro to design the site?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
Dan

If your client wants to update file on their own, Muse can do it, but it's only possible combined with Business Cayalyst.

Can i enable in-browser editing without business catalyst

I've just downloaded the trial version but haven't used it yet. I have been watching adobe tutorials all day on Adobe Muse and so far it has everything I am looking for.
I have one question, however, I am currently designing a website for a customer who would like to have in-browser editing made available in order to update text and photo. I work for a company who has their own IT gurus who will be hosting the website. Is it possible to enable in-browser editing without using Business catalyst or having the site hosted by adobe? If not is this a feature that will possibly be added to Muse in the very near future?

Hello
At this stage, in-browser editing is available only for the sites that are hosted on Business catalyst.
This feature to work for other hosting providers may be added to Muse in upcoming releases.
You can join our pre-release program to know more about the upcoming releases - Adobe Muse Private Beta Program

Muse Designed Blog on Business Catalyst

Hey,
I am sorry if this is covered before, I am throughly confused by Business Catalyst and Creative Cloud and my searches turned up nothing. I want to design a blog in Muse and then host it in Business Catalyst.
Where I am confused is how the CMS, and blog modules get implemented. I have a subscription to Creative Cloud, but Muse doesn't seem to have the tie-ins for Business Catalyst. Do I design it in Muse, then publishing and then implement to blog module? I am very confused as to how exactly you go about this.
Thanks for the advice or help!

Muse is you issue. Muse is super limited really and you wont be able to do to much with it and BC.
You need to look to switch to a proper coding platform and the system itself and built through it.
Your right, as a graphic designer it is not just thre web, but the front end build, UI design, interactive design and more which is a whole world different from graphic design. Always see the same mistakes from the graphic designers who are bad at web design and think they can

Is there any way to publish from Adobe Muse directly to a domain without Business Catalyst?

I'm getting extremely frustrated with Adobe Muse. I think it's ridiculous having to go through Business Catalyst to publish a website when I have already purchased my own domain. Please tell me there is a way around this.

No problem. We recognize it would provide a more consistent user experience if we merged all possible output paths under the "Publish" experience. It's just not something that's hit the top of the priority list, yet. Enjoy Muse.
Just as an fyi, there are currently 2 features that require BC hosting, so you may want to keep those in mind as you plan/develop your site.
1) The CAPTCHA field in forms; and
2) The In-Browser Editing functionality.
We are aware many customers would like to see these features enabled on non-BC hosting.

How to add a user when Muse site is uploaded without Business Catalyst?

Hello,
I have uploaded a Muse site for my client on her own ftp server. But how can I add her as a "inbrowser editor", so that she can manage the site when needed? Or is it only possible to add a user when I upload the site on the Business Catalyst host?
Thanks!

Hi,
The June 2014 update to Muse enables In-Browser Editing for Muse sites hosted with third-party (non-Adobe) providers.

Muse and Typekit without Business Catalyst

Hello! I've been watching this useful video (http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-muse/working-with-typekit-fonts/eng/) but I have a dobut. I'd like to know if Typekit works correctly if I don't use Adobe Business Catalyst to upload my website and I use another server to host my website.
Thanks in advance.
Lucía.

You can use your own server to host websites with typekit fonts. The only thing that requires BC hosting is the use of their form features.

Using a different email in a form ( without Business Catalyst )

Hi guys, I am new to muse and I am trying to figure out where I can edit the script to allow me to host my own site, but recieve emails from my muse form.
I have already built the site at test.jdotf.com
The form in the footer and on the work page is what I'm looking to fix. Is there a way I can edit in the exported code? or do I have to start over? I only recieve a
message saying the form is configured to work only with BC.
thanks so much for the help.

Why aren't my Muse paragraph styles being recognized by Business Catalyst as CSS?

We switched over to Muse for site-building so that future designers can still build sites here when my coworker leaves, so I was looking at how to integrate an existing Business Catalyst blog into Muse and found this tutorial: Building a Blog with Business Catalyst and Muse
The problem is, I have followed his instructions, but Business Catalyst isn't recognizing the paragraph styles from Muse so that I can use them as he did in the develop tab for BC to update the look of the blog to match the site. I really need help! The customer will NOT be happy if I can't get this up and running. I feel stuck between Business Catalyst and Muse and no one seems to be able to help me or has had comments about the same problem. Has the newest version of Muse done away with converting Para. Styles to CSS? Is there a way to work around this?

Hi
This can happen if you are using a different module template and applying to Blog modules, or if any html format if defined in module layout.
Please make sure that no format is defined from BC end for Blog and then page should render the style that you have added in Muse.
If you need a detailed help, please join our Live chat team and they will help you out by removing any extra format that has been added to your site Blog module.

Using the included business catalyst space

With full Adobe Create Cloud membership I get 5 websites from Business Catalyst included.
Cool!
But what if I am not interested in the Adobe CMS tools, and want to install say a Wordpress of Drupal webiste in this Business Catalyst space (this 20GB of space and five websitges offered): is this possible?
(This should be possible as we developers should be allowed to use the tools/platforms that we want to use.)

Hi again! Let me try to answer the questions you have remaining...
the Adobe creative cloud dashboard bears no resemblance to the dashboard as shown in the Wordpress import article you cite above
          The article I referred you to does not include Creative Cloud in the workflow. You would be logging into Business Catalyst with your Creative Cloud membership login information, and creating your website from within the BC platform. I have never had any personal experience importing a Wordpress blog to Business Catalyst, so the folks over at the Business Catalyst forum can probably be able give you much more comprehensive help.
could it be that, whilst Creative Cloud indeed comes with free web hosting for 5 sites, these are for just your WebBasics version (i.e. Creative Cloud comes with free web hosting for 5 WebBasics sites)
          Correct. The Creative Cloud memberhsip includes free web hosting for 5 sites through Business Catalyst that operate under the WebBasics subscription level, as outlined here.
if so, where is this explicitly stated in your documentation?
          From the Adobe Creative Cloud product page: "Your Adobe Creative Cloud membership includes hosting for up to five Business Catalyst webBasics sites."
I hope I was able to clear up things up for you. You might want to check out this FAQ post for some more information about Creative Cloud + Business Catalyst.
Cheers!

Adding a blog to our Muse website via Business Catalyst?

We want to add a blog to our company's website. Ideally, we'd add it at the subfolder level. Will we be able to do this on our Muse site that is hosted in Business Catalyst?

Hi
Are you referring to integrating a third party Blog in Muse site and then publish to BC where the blogs should be stored in sub folder level ?
From BC end, you can create Blogs and use module in Muse page, on publishing to BC you can define Host Directory which would create the sub folder under root.
This video will give an idea as how sub folders are managed on BC end:

How to create a Business Catalyst user WITHOUT sending an invitation

Hi, I have a customer that cannot receive any of the e-mail invitations from the BC system to set up a user role.
I can create the user on the BC system and send the invite, but the customer is not getting them.
Is there a way to set up the user on the system, with a user name and password, without having to use the e-mail invitation workflow?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi RepulseMonkey
I can troubleshoot this for you but I'd need some more information. Id need the URL of the website so I can do some checks on the DNS setup.
Basically if you're not receiving emails it can be a few things. I'd be looking to check:
1. That your Domain Setup is set correctly. If it's set to Internal, when it's actually External then this can happen.
2. If it's externallly hosted then you should start by creating the SPF record that is required so your external mail server will trust mail sent from Adobes servers - Here's some instructions on adding an SPF record half way down this page - Business Catalyst Migration
To answer your question. YES. You can get around it. You can send the activation email to a different email address. Then once confirmed ask BC support to change it back. BUT we really recommend to get you DNS configured correctly in the first place. It's usually not hard.
Let me know if you're stuck. I can point you in the right direction and if you're really stuck PRETTY does consultation and support on this kind of thing.

Paragraph Styles - how do i Know they are working on my site...So Business Catalyst (blog) can inherit them?

I have created my site in Muse and have adding a business catalyst blog module.
I have created my paragraph styles and added some code to the modulestylesheet.css.
Why is the blog not reading the typekit fonts?
How do I know muse is rendering the fonts properly?
Any thoughts would be appreciated,
Darren

Hi Darren,
I'm sorry you ran into trouble here. Currently, you can only use and preview the free and open-source Typekit fonts in Muse.
If you're comfortable with a little HTML/CSS, the Muse Insider wrote a post on how to insert the Typekit embed code from the Muse interface:
http://museinsider.com/how-to-add-typekit-fonts-to-your-muse-site.html
Or you can add the embed code to the Page Properties dialog within Muse, which will include it in the <head> of the page when you export your website.
However, we do see the value of being able to design in Muse with all the fonts in your Typekit library. This will require a deeper integration between Typekit & Muse. I'll give the team a nudge in this direction for you.
Also, I would be happy to take a look at a live url from the site. I'll be able to tell of the Typekit fonts are working and if not, suggest a solution. Let me know if you have any further questions and thanks for your patience.
Cheers,
Benjamin
