Adding blog entries via email

Suggestion: to add blog entries (text and/or photos) to iWeb via email.

I'd done something similar long ago, sent an email to my home machine, AppleScript intercepted the email, parsed the subject line and turned on X-10 power module. It was like having Tom Bodett at home.
As for iWeb, the concept is do-able. But at the current state, iWeb is not quite scriptable. You can add a photo blog entry, but it only has images property, so you can't enter any text for it.
Perhaps, next rev.

Blog entries via email?

Hi all,
Anyone know if the new blog utility in iWeb/.mac will support adding entries via email from a handheld device such as a blackberry?

Adding Blog Entries Without iWeb

Is there anyway to post blog entries without using iWeb. I feel like I already know the answer to this, but I was hoping that there might be some way.

You can send in blogg-postings via mail/cellphone, and have them automatically appear in iWeb by using the Automator scropts

IWeb Blogging: Allowing Users to Subscribe Via Email?

I just created a blog and website in iWeb. Is there a way to allow users to subscribe to my blog via email so they are notified of new blog entries over email? Currently, all I have on my website is an RSS feed.

Create a form in HTML snippet that sends info to your email or place an email link on your page where visitors send an email to you with their address and desire to subscribe. There are many form services available and you can find countless email form tutorials in Google search results. Compile the subscription email addresses into a database or Mail group and BCC or MailChimp the group your updates. Also... users can subscribe through RSS to their email.

Blog entry in iWeb via e-mail?

Hello,
I have an iWeb blog on MobileMe and wondering if it is possible to add blog entries via e-mail? (This feature would be very handy if one is away from his Mac...)
Thanks,
Attila

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you don't have a lot of comments and posts to your current blog I urge you to give careful consideration to what Ethmoid suggests.
The "commercial" blogging sites are so much more robust and versatile and have the capability of being posted to from any computer anywhere and from mobile devices, i.e. smart phones or iPads.
You can design the site to approximate the design of your iWeb site and embed it into a page of your site like in this demo: Embed a Site Within an iWeb Page.
In the long run I think you'll be much better off if you can convert now.

Can you set up a subscription service so blog posts are emailed to subscribers

I would like to allow people to sign up to receive my blog posts via email (ie like how they can in blogger etc) but can't see anywhere to do this?
Is it possible?
Thanks

I guess it depends who your targets are - do they have any interest in modern forms of social media or is email even a push for them.
To be able to add a blog post about an important update/thing to do and have it emailed out provides both an easy online place for people to look back over the information as well as the immediate provision of information via email, without me having to both email the people the information and also provide an online back up of that information.
In this case it is creating double the work.
I know I check my email several times a day (OK more than that, lol), social media - facebook - a couple of times a week (so I miss a lot), twitter - nearly never.
How have I found out about most things (personally) in the last two years? - via word of mouth or email.
The market I am working with I would say mostly word of mouth (or frustratingly not enough of that) so am hoping to provide the information via the website and encourage people to check the website more regularly but also know when there is important updates available.
I don't want to have to email out the updates and also blog them for posterity.
It doesn't appear every other blogging software company agrees with you as a subscription service is always available and well utilised.
(oh and I will say I don't think business catalyst was the perfect platform for this site, but I inherited it).

Problem Adding iCal Events Received via Email (used to work fine)

My wife and I share iCal calendar events between our Mac's via email. A month or so ago I started getting this error when clicking on the link that comes with the iCal event email:
"This calendar file is empty. No new events have been added to your iCal calendars."
We are both on Intel Powermacs running OS 10.4.11 and have the same version of iCal (2.0.5). I can still email her iCal events and she can add them to her calendar just fine. But anything she sends me gives me this error.
Help?

Travis,
I had the exact same problem (with my wife's iCal account to boot ). The solution lies in the "(null) informs you..." It turns out that iCal looks at your personal address card to figure out who you are when populating the email. So, if don't have the email address you are sending FROM listed under your address book entry, then the notice is from NULL.
I added my wife's email accounts to her address book entry on her machine (sorry for the bolds, but the details count.) Then I tried sending a calendar event from her iCal to me. This time it populated with her name and it added to my calendar just fine when I received the email.
I hope this solution works for you (it drove me crazy for about two weeks.)

Can you add an RSS feed on an iweb blog that would allow visitors to receive new entries by email?

Can you add an RSS feed on an iweb blog that would allow visitors to receive new blog entries through their email?

RSS feeds don't do that - if they add the feed to an RSS reader (including Safari or FireFox) they will see new updates every time they check: but sending them emails on each added episode would require extra programming in the actual program, which iWeb doesn't provide. You would need to have a mailing list and send out an email manually each time you add an episode.

Yosemite. iPhoto has stopped sharing pix via email. Have tried removing and re-adding accounts. This is a new problem. What gives??

I recently had a new hard drive installed and upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.1 on a Macbook Pro. No problems for the first week, then iPhoto 9.6 stopped sharing pix via email. I tried removing and re-adding my accounts but that didn't help. Thanks in advance for any advice. Ra Buck.

PS. IPhoto doesn't seem to connect, but I'm not getting an error message.

Share via email option - can more stationery be added or downloaded

I use the share via email option quite frequently. When you get the step where you select the background stationery I'm always frustrated that there aren't more options. Case in point - Christmas background? Halloween background? Can more stationery be added or downloaded or customized? Am I the only one with this problem?

Ok... so I'm an idiot: in Pages it works fine - I mistook the grayed out 'send via email' option for a normally clickable item, while it's just a header for the three (non-grayed-out) formats which you can send via email.
The problem stands for Word for Mac though - I promise!
thanks again

Adding a "forward to friend" link on blog entries?

I've setup a blog for myself using iWeb '08. Is it possible to add a link that readers can use to forward my blog entries to their friends?
Ideally, this feature would forward both my blog entry and a link back to my site, which is similar to the forwarding feature on the nytimes.com website.

I've discovered that feedburner has a service called feedflare that will insert "Email Article" links into your blog. It seems to be what I'm looking for, but I can't make it work. I'd be quite grateful to anyone who can point me in the right direction.
I'm supposed to enter in the following code into every blog entry:
<script src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~s/myfeeduri?
spaceUrl=http://feeds.feedburner.com/~s/myfeeduri?i=POST-URL-HERE" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
I tried doing this and replaced "myfeeduri" with "mydomain". I am also supposed to replace "POST-URL-HERE" with "your blog’s template tags to dynamically insert the URL of the current post. " What would that tag be for an iWeb created blog?
I pasted the code into iWeb using the HTML snippet function thinking that the links would at least show up when I published to my site (even though they wouldn't be working) but there was nothing there.
Many thanks to anyone who can help me out with this one.

I suspect that blogging may be low on the priority
scale for Apple. Otherwise they would have enabled
.Mac to be usable for this without resort to things
like Haloscan ages ago. Most effort will probably be
devoted to further enhancing the ability to share
music, photos, and movies. Though I could be
wrong....
Essentially, I agree with you, but they sure are trying to give the impression otherwise with iLife '06's tagline, "Music. Photos. Movies. Blogs." But I wouldn't expect them to even think about updating anything until "iLife '07" and who know what blogging will look like then (the only app Apple seems to update regularly is iTunes because it makes them the most money). I really like iWeb and the version 1.0 is a good offering. But where it's lacking, it's REALLY lacking. And Apple is too slow with the updates.
Consider how surprisingly little was updated in iWork '06 from the previous version, in spite of a long list of feature requests, especially for Pages.
Who knows? Maybe I should suggest that the RapidWeaver developers merely add the drag and drop functionality of iWeb to their product. We might have better luck with that.

Adding prompts dynamically and then send the results to users via email

Hi,
We have to schedule the reports for auto delivery to users at a specific time period. Please, tell me the mechanism to schedule them and how to assign prompt values to them. Currently, the reports are run by users by selecting prompts from the dashboard. If we schedule them, we will have to add some of these prompts dynamically and then send the results to users via email.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I haven't tested it myself...but may be the following steps can help you.
Fill some session variables depending on the the name of the user who logs in (this can be done easily be creating different session variables and put some executing order in it)
Then you use these session variables as default values for your prompts. So the report will be executed making use of this default values.
And by scheduling your ibot..you can send it by mail.
I don't know if it's this what you're looking for...probably you have to base your prompt values depending on the users that are selected in your ibot?
Hope it can help y ou in some way or another...
KR,
A

Adding a blog entry from another computer

Is it possible to add a blog entry from another computer? Say all my iWeb sites are on my desktop computer and I want to add a blog entry from my laptop.

You can do this if you transfer your Domain File to the laptop. An easy way to do this is outlined in these notes.
