Adding a stock ticker to an iWeb site?

Does iWeb not support Yahoo! Badges? http://finance.yahoo.com/badges
They use something called iFrame. Is that different than HTML?
Anyone know how I can add a stock ticker to my iWeb page?
http://web.mac.com/michaelgrothaus/

I tested and it worked fine for me....
I went through Yahoo steps and had code generated...
Went to iWeb and on page I wanted to add chart, I clicked on the "Web Widgets" icon at bottom of iWeb page and picked "HTML Snippet" and then pasted code in area provided (where it says paste code), finally I hit "Apply" saved my pages and published. Worked fine.
Hope this helps you.

Adding a Lightroom Gallery on an iweb site- that does NOT use .mac

I've been checking all past posts but only find references to adding a Lightroom Gallery in iweb if the user has mobile me/uses a .mac account. Someone else has asked this same question on July 20 and received no answers so far. Both of us using iweb '08. I've also gone the other direction but all Lightroom answers also refer to .mac accounts.
I've tried following the methods in past posts using html snippets and iframes but they don't seem to be a perfect fit without the .mac account. Anyone have any advice here? Many thanks.

Stock Ticker in iWeb '08

Hello,
I would like to put in a nice looking stock ticker for an Indian company in my iWeb website using the HTML Web Widget feature in iWeb. I have found a really nice one on Yahoo but that is only for Dashboard. I have two questions:
1. Where can I find a neat, clean (vertical) stock ticker with HTML code I can paste into iWeb?
2. If possible, how can I find the HTML code of Dashboard widgets?
Thanks!

Hi there,
have a look at the following page:
http://www.widgetbox.com/search?q=stock
This one looks really good
http://www.widgetbox.com/widget/yahoo-finance
Enter symbols, get widget, get widget code and copy&paste it to an html snippet
Regards and happy 2008,

Adding files to iWeb site using .mac

Hi
Apologies if this has been answered before but I would like to achieve the following:
I have an iWeb site published to a .mac account. I would like to add links to other files such as m3u or qtl playlists and host the mp3/mov files somewhere else in my .mac account. I have read a little about using the idisk feature to achieve this. What's the best way of proceeding?

which means you have to put any file or folder linked to in this way inside iDisk>Web>Sites??
That's correct.
Presumably that means when you publish any updates out of iWeb it leaves these files/folders alone and only updates what it needs to?
You can create folders as you like.
Just make sure you do not add a Site in iWeb with the same name as your folder. iWeb will overwrite that folder. Try it.
And do not add an index.html file of your own in the root of the Server. I have a custom index.html file. So any time I publish a Site in iWeb (by mistake) I have to make sure I replace the index.html file by iWeb with the file of my own.
But I do a lot of things I'm not supposed to do.

Adding iweb site to existing site

Apologies for being a complete luddite when it comes to this. I need to jazz up an existing web site. Can I just create a link there to my iweb site? Am I right in assuming there are no hosting fees for iweb? I presume the new site can be as expansive as I wish? Thanks guys.

Am I right in assuming there are no hosting fees for iweb?
iWeb is an app on your machine for creating web pages. Hosting fees are only relevant when you want to put the pages created onto a host, which can be anything from free to expensive, but they have no connection with iWeb as such.

Request: Please Critique This iWeb Site

Hello all! I'm hoping you can take a few minutes and look at a site I've created in iWeb. It's about 80 percent complete, so you will see some issues such as missing text, pink text, a few missing pictures, etc. The entire "Give and Support" section is still being written.
I'd really appreciate feedback from this community because I've relied heavily upon you and this message board to build this site. Your past discussions have been awesome resources.
It's for a place called Mt. Irenaeus, which is a Catholic Franciscan Retreat located in Western New York. It's run by a great group of Franciscan friars and I'm trying to help them communicate with a larger audience. Most of the people who know about this great place are graduates of a nearby university. For more objective details, read The New York Times profile in the Mountain Media section.
A few notes:
-- I use MassReplaceIt for a variety of tasks, including changing the link colors. However, within the last three weeks, that code has stopped replacing and I've been left with Apple's default colors. Can anyone help?
-- Plan to add comments to the blog section once I receive more blog entries and as we get closer to launch in the next few weeks. It appears that Haloscan is the best option?
-- The embedded Google Calendar works only sometimes on Safari. Works fine on my PC. Any ideas?
-- I can't seem to get the RSS feed for the blog to save properly in my RSS reader. It ends up titled as "MyBlog."
Here's the site:
http://www.mounti.com/Mount_Irenaeus/home.html
The URL will change when it goes live; everything is in a test folder right now. Pages will move the root address when live.
In addition to the questions above, what do you think of the overall presentation? Content? What other iWeb gems can be added? As total strangers, does this site help communicate what the place is about?
Thanks again, all.

Any ideas for a commenting system to allow feedback in iWeb sites?

With haloscan becoming echo and therefore costing to run now, what alternatives (outside mobileme) is there for an easy setup commenting system that can be run within an iWeb site. I am a school teacher with numbers of pupils who have portfolios/webs in iwb. They are working well but I want to give them and others a chance to post feedback on certain pages. We could make an iframe to a freebie commenting system but I am trying to more fully integrate.

IWeb site blank in IE, but perfect in Chrome, Firefox, Safari

Hello all,
I'm sorry, I know this question comes up again and again, but what I have read and attempted doesn't seem to help my website. I just started using iWeb last week and I really enjoy it. I was using Dreamweaver before which is a great program for CSS and HTML editing, but really doesn't compare to the simplicity and speed of designing with a WYSIWYG like iWeb.
So are there a few big culprits as to why iWeb sites don't display in IE 6,7, or 8? I realize this is pretty much an Internet Explorer problem, but can I fix at least some of the content without doing a ton of hacking to my site?
I am already fixing one issue using Dreamweaver:
iWeb: +<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>+
instead of: +<xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8">+
...so I'm not afraid to publish with iWeb, then edit a few things in the HTML/CSS. Can anything be done? It's a fairly simple website: mantheipc.webege.com (ignore text content, needs a lot of revision).
*Other info:*
Free hosting via 000webhost.com
iWeb '08 2.0.4
OS X 10.5.7
Dreamweaver CS5
Uploading via FileZilla
Tested to work under Firefox, Chrome, and Safari (Mac+PC)
Tested and failed to load in IE 6,7,8 at http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/
Tested and failed to load in IE 6 on XP Laptop
Thanks a lot for your time,
Dylan

Removing the first line of every HTML document permits the site to load in IE.
<xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8">
To figure out why IE wouldn't display my site, I created a new blank page and added an image, a hyperlink, a text box, and a fancy CSS text box. I also set a background gradient and page color. The page wouldn't display in IE, so I started deleting HTML by hand with a text editor starting with the most likely culprits (in-line CSS, javascript, etc). I was down to an image, hyperlink, bgcolor, and center tags and the site still wouldn't load. Realizing these are the most basic html tags there are, the only thing left that could cause a problem was that first line.
While I realize this is not at all an ideal solution, it worked. Not only does the site load, but it looks about as good as it does in Firefox and Chrome. No transparency issues or anything! The first line isn't vital to site display, but it does cause the browser to 'guess' what type of encoding the page is in. All of my testing indicated this isn't an issue on my PC or Mac, but I need to try friends and family's PC's too.
Tested good on:
IE8, Firefox, and Chrome in Windows 7
Firefox, Chrome, and Safari in MacOS Leopard
Thanks again to everyone who read and contributed!

How do I get an iWeb site to show up on a google search?

How do I get an iWeb site to show up on a google search?

How soon will the GA page indicate that the code has been added and tracking started? I added the code to the my Demo and Tutorial Contents pages and GA still indicates that tracking hasn't been installed.
I am using the full url to the analytics.js file in the HTML snippet:
newScript.src = 'http://web.me.com/toad.hall/js/demoanalytics.js';
The file shows up in the Activity window. I've done the same for the contents page of my tutorial site with the same results. The two sites are Tutorials and Demo.
Any suggestions?

Can I merge an iWeb site into a regular site?

I have an existing site which was not made with iWeb. I've wanted to update it so I decided to use iWeb 08. I'm a bit concerned that when I publish the iWeb site into my old site that things will be written over. Will this be the case? I have a lot of other programs on my old site like php and mysql based things and I can't have those be over-written.
Thanks,
Tom

Thanks for the help. Here's the latest, I changed my Site name to Documents, so that it would match my webserver's information. (I changed my current Documents folder to Documents-bak so I wouldn't destroy it.) I published the new Documents iWeb along with some changes. After publishing, I took a folder with some pdfs in it from my backup and manually copied it to the new Documents folder. Checked the website and everything worked. Then I went back to iWeb, added a new Album, the published it. The folder I copied over was gone....poof!
This leads me to think I should have a splash page under my webserver root directory (/Documents/index.html) that links to /Documents/Site/index.html (with Site being my iWeb site) and leaving all the other items under /Documents. This would prevent the deletion of files that don't relate to iWeb since it is in a different directory.
Sorry if I'm being confusing, for the last 15 years I've built sites with things like Frontpage, Dreamweaver and other programs where I didn't have to worry about this stuff. I love iWeb because the site I'm talking about is my personal site with kids' pictures and it's pretty easy to use.
Question, say I add an album to my iWeb. Do I need to republish the WHOLE site again? I can't find a way to just publish changes rather than the whole site.
Thanks - Tom

IWeb site registered but not showing up in Google

I've registered my iweb site through google's webmaster tools using DNS since my domain name is registered through go daddy. I've also got an account for it on google analytics using iWeb SEO but when i search google for my site, nothing shows up. I've even typed my website in verbatim and I still get nothing.
is there something else I need to do to get my site listed? I've started adding title tags and meta data to my most important pages (home and blog) to see if that would help. When I had my blog on wordpress and verified it through google webmaster it showed up the next day in search and i didn't even have to do any of the SEO like meta data.
I feel like i've missed a step, or maybe iweb is not as easily indexed?
HELP!

Further information regarding the details would be helpful. However, if the site is unreachable it may be due to a known issue between GoDaddy and MobileMe. I spoke with tech support today regarding a similar issue with a iweb account that I have a DNS for through GoDaddy. The issue is being looked at by the support team and hopefully will be resolved quickly, but it I was advised that the issue appears to be from attacks on the iweb side which require the DNS address to be taken offline temporarily.

Can't see my iweb site. please help

I have just created an iweb site which worked fine and was able to visit using the safari button on the bottom of the iweb page which directed me to http://web.me.com/mmerry/Mikes_Inks/Welcome.html
I have added a domain name ‘mikesinks.com’ with go daddy which worked fine to start with but now when I go to the safari button it directs me to http://web.me.com/mmerry/Mikes_Inks/Welcome.html along with the message Safari can’t open the page “http://www.mikesinks.com/Mikes_Inks/index.html” because Safari can’t find the server “www.mikesinks.com”.
this also happens in firefox.
please can someone help.

Try it without the "
http://www.mikesinks.com/Mikes_Inks/index.html
Use the shortest URL possible to arrive at your site.
This will work : http://www.mikesinks.com/Mikes_Inks/
This will work : http://www.mikesinks.com/
And this link : http://mikesinks.com/ uses URL forwarding.
Use forwarding to : http://www.mikesinks.com/

.mac iWeb site with yahoo domain- much trouble

I have 5 websites made with iweb hosted by .mac.
I just got a yahoo domain name, (organizedmayhemmusic.com).
I want to set that domain name to only one of my sites within iWeb,
but I'm having allot of trouble. Right now I have my yahoo domain settings
set to a masked forward, but I'd like it to work how I originally intended it to.
Which would be when you go to (www.organizedmayhemmusic.com) it shows my iweb site
without any weird stuff or tricks or redirects, if possible. Under yahoo Advanced DNS Settings
I added a record, and it asks for a source, and destination. The source example was
info.thesitename.com. but I don't want any thing in front of it, I'm actually still confused on
all of that. I ended up setting the source to (www), and the destination to (web.mac.com).
Then I created the settings on the .mac account page for a personal domain. And after I typed in
my address it got me to (www.organizedmayhemmusic.com/OrganizedMayhem/OrganizedMayhem.html)
Its my iweb site adress but it replaced web.mac.com with my new domain name.
I want it to be just (www.organizedmayhemmusic.com) and worst of all you can type my other
site/page names after (www.organizedmayhemmusic.com/) and get to my other sites but with
my new domain name in the address. If anyone has any help to offer I would greatly appreciate it.
I never ask for help unless I'm pretty desperate. Thanks in advance, -Terodil-

If anyone has any help to offer
Your choices are to go back to forwarding/masking or move your site to Yahoo.

IWeb sites are slow to upload. text columns turn to heavy png files

Hi!
Yes I've noticed that iweb sites for some odd reason are slower to load on any browser. No matter what the hosting is. I use Me.com for a few years and iWeb as I don't have the time or patience to bother with Dreamweaver. I use Me.com for hosting as well as another web hosting server. If there is graphic material on the page, it takes so long to open. Apple must do something about it for sure.
The program iWeb itself doesn't open up fast enough if you have more than 3 pages on it (which any normal site would have). I'm glad Apple made good changes in iWeb09, but it needs to do something about the speed of the program, the sites it makes and how it processes simple matter on it.
Even though, I have come across some good examples of iWeb made sites that are easy and relatively faster to open or they open at a normal speed. The authors also have used flash material on their iWeb sites. I have a non-registered program (web site Maestro) that claims to ease up and streamline the graphic and other heavy content on a iWeb site to make it lighter with loading.
But the unregistered version works on 70 percent files only. And I don't really notice any difference with it either. So I'm doubtful of buying the full version.
Any thoughts? Solutions? Would really appreciate.
ANOTHER ISSUE that I have discovered while making iWeb site is that a text column put on a shape after publishing turns into a heavy PNG picture file that can weight almost upto 1 whole megabyte!!!
And you keep wondering why the darn page is so slow to open!!! Cuz a simple text could've been just about 50kb. But it turns into a 900kb picture in png!!! Is there a way to change this?? I guess, taking out the picture from the published site folder and reediting it in - say - Photoshop reducing its size may help. But its so cumbersome and arduous to go into every darn folder and open all the text now converted into pics and re-edit them!! And then their reduced quality will make the text look feeble and bad quality too.
This is a problem that APPLE iWEB experts Must work on. iWeb gives a certain flexibility as its like a free flowing canvas. But then its also a known fact that iWeb sites are exceptionally heavier to open, unless you know many other tweaks here and there to make it work right. But again, this is contrary to the purpose of iWeb, cuz its made for amateur site makers.
I wish there is a work around this thing really.
ANY SUGGESTIONS FRIENDS?? WOULD LOVE TO HEAR. PLEASE SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS AND SOLUTIONS.
Thanks.
Regards,
Nitesh

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Shapes by their very nature are graphic elements that end up a png file whether there's text in them or not. You should try adding the text in a text box above the shape and see if there's any difference. Just be sure to use a Web Safe Font and not add any enhancements that will turn it into a image file:
Click to view full size
You may not notice a difference with loading with WSM but those with Internet Explorer should. Have you tested your site with and without WSM on a PC?
In WSM you can set the amount of optimizing for graphics. I've set it at about 60% (moderate) and haven't tested other settings for image quality. I'm sure a lower quality level, i.e. more compression, will have a impact on file loading. I just don't have a feel for the greatest amount of compression that will still have acceptable image quality. You'll just have to experiment.
If your site is a commercial site then using a commercial hosting server is the best option. Also, it's reported that using a Text Based Navbar instead of iWeb's java based one will help dark side compatibility.
Be sure to put in feature requests for the improvements that you see necessary to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html.

IWeb site suddenly won't publish to MobileMe

Have been publishing my iWeb site successfully with iLife '09 and Snow Leopard for a couple of months now. Yesterday I added a page and published successfully. Then I made changes to some already published pages. These pages are mostly photos and I changed download size from medium to large. Tried to publish these changes and got the error message: An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/.Temporary Web Resources/C-20091129-115210-0500/RiceHS/bavs_Iona_Prep_files/Media/DSC2189”. Try publishing again later.
Have tried to publish just changes and then the whole site again. I always get the error message but the long file name changes every time. I have deleted clientConfiguration.plist, com.apple.iWeb.plist and CachedResources.plist files. Problem persists. Anyone have any idea what is going on?

I have been having this problem for the past month.
My iWeb sites are published to Mobile Me. I update them at least once a day. Every week...usually on a weekend, I have experienced the same error described in this thread. The fact that is almost always happens on a weekend is suspicious. The only other time it happened was at 5AM on a Monday morning.
I have stopped believing that it is somehow related to an error on my computer. I tried deleting preferences in both places (the "ByHost" folder that is inside the user's Preferences folder and the regular iWeb preferences file inside the user's Preferences folder. I can publish to a folder and then drag the files to my iDisk without any problem. In the end, if I wait long enough, the problem seems to go way.
I can't be sure, but I believe this problem began when I upgraded from Mac OSX 10.5.7 to 10.5.8.
To the people who have been having this problem, I can only say that I don't think the problem lies with you and your software.
