After 10 months of iweb blogging, "creating Page" takes 15 to 20minutes...

one more problem... after 10 months of iweb blogging, "creating Page" takes 15 to 20 minutes. once it get to the publish stage, it goes as fast as ever... less than a minute. But with each passing month it takes longer to publish because of the lengthening time it takes to "create page".
Ideas?
thanks, bobbie J.

After 9 months of iweb blogging, "creating Page" takes 15 minutes...

I post every day with a few paragraphs and 5 to 8 photos. It used to take only a few seconds to "create page" and publish, but as my archives and blog grows larger day by day, its now taking 15 minutes and the hard drive is working like crazy the whole time. Is this normal? what happens after my blog is two years old and even bigger in archives... an hour to create page? Is there a maintenance thing i can do like scan disc to get every thing grouped together on the HD. or is the problem the growing archive file... thanks geniuses, Bobbie J.

Font changes on Blog main page

Hi everyone!
Does any of you know if it is possible, on iWeb Blog main page, to modify the other posts than the first one ? I lowered the size of the text in my posts when editing them, but when appearing on the main page of the blog, they get bigger and it is impossible to edit then.
Thanks for any help !

How to implement attachment table in create page

Hi
I tried to add an attachment table in create page,but the table is not appearing.
Is it because that the primary key attribute mapped to attachment table is committed only after clicking submit button in create page?.
I am using a sequence for primary key.
Thanks,

Hi ,
Please see following post in forum
Attachment table is not appearing in the page.

Problem with internal links created in iweb 06 after upgrading to iweb 08

I have a site I created in iweb 06 and have uploaded to my own server (not .mac). After switching to iweb 08, I have found that any blog entry that has a title with punctuation of any kind results in a broken link (404 page not found error). I am using fetch to upload the site, and am wondering if in need to change some fetch setting or preference. iweb 08 seems to use the blog entry title as the link, and it just won't work if there is any punctuation in the title. Everything uploaded perfectly in iweb 06. Is this a glitch in iweb 08 or am I doing something wrong. Thanks for any advice you can give. I have not upgraded to OS 10.5. (If you want to look at the site it's www.doylelogan.com/dlctravel)

All your links are live except the one you mentioned.
I don't understand what behavior you expect from the links. Your rollover color is very close to the normal and visited one. If you made it contrast more, the link would be more obvious.
I don't like to underline links but maybe you need to do this if you feel that they are not obvious enough.
Undo and redo the link that is not working.
It may be that iWeb needs a jolt. Try the troubleshooting steps under "Fix iWeb" here....

How to Publish old iweb blog saved in pages?

I have a series of blogs created in an early version of iweb. I saved them to my desktop in a folder in a Pages format. If I want to export them to iweb 09 to eventually publish them to machighway (since mobileme is "dying"). There are two choices from which to select:PDF and one other the name of which I forget. What is my best choice? In order to publish I need to get these files into iweb (I believe). They also exist as a web archive, which I can open but which I do not know how to handle beyond that. I really want to preserve (maybe share) these memoirs. Any ideas? I am running snow leopard on my imac and have pages 09.

You could export them as PDFs and make them available for download...

Could an iWeb blog page be modified to...

...parse wordpress entries so that they appear "iWeb'sh" even though being created and maintained in Wordpress?

I'm having similar problems with the automatic RSS Feed link that the iWeb blog page uses.
I also figured I could create my own custom RSS icon/link for the page, but that still doesn't resolve the issue for the RSS Feed link that is automatically generated by the Firefox or Safari browsers I'm online with a MobileMe Support rep now (crossed fingers)

Sites and Blogs created in iWeb...

Does anyone know of a link to view sites and blogs created solely by iWeb? I'm curious to see others' creations.

Here is a discussion where people post their sites created with iWeb '08

and here a webpage where you can find links to iWeb created pages

Publishiing iWeb created pages to other domains

Is there a way to upload iWeb created pages to other domains besides .mac.
Thanks

Thank you both for the replies. I went further into the archives and saw a post about splitting the domain. Does this apply to my problem? http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=552258&tstart=0
I want to take this very slowly as I lost a lot of albums from my Homepage way back when there was a large glitch it the system. I don't want to have to recreate sites so need to be sure of what I am doing, step by step.
Thanks

Using native iWeb to create an index of blog entries

While not entirely what I had in mind, by linking together pages that themselves have internal links to my blog entries, I have created a passable blog index. My site is still new, but as I blog more material, I wanted a way to group the pages by categories. The top down blog archive that is provided out of the box was just not going to work for me.
This approach has an added benefit. Since the pages from the index are linked via html, the blog pages can be found via the google sitecrawler engines. (note my home page directory is also html rather than the native iWeb index). I use a sitemap already, so this feature is not terribly important to me. But it might help you if you haven't sorted out sitemaps yet.
This does require that I update the index page(s) every time I add a blog entry.
Hope you guys find this useful.

Terry ~ You followed Nitsa's apparently good example on hosting, but not on blogging — she uses WordPress rather than iWeb:
http://nonphotography.com/blog
...Problems with iWeb's blog are a recurring theme on these discussions as it's not a serious blogging platform. And with multiple iWeb blogs within your site, you're multiplying your chances of having problems. Also, as you add entries to your blog(s), opening your site in iWeb and backing up its Domain file will become slower and slower. Plus, when you eventually have to re-publish your entire iWeb site, you may have a long wait for the upload to finish.
The following old thread was started by someone who suspected iWeb's blog would not be robust enough and, like Nitsa, wisely built their blog in WordPress:
_To blog or not to blog_
As mentioned there, some of WordPress's themes provide tabs — which you could use to categorize posts, e.g.
http://mistylook.org
And as an alternative to setting up a basic hyperlink to your external blog, there's a way to link to it from iWeb's navigation bar.

Can I update a blog created in iWeb from another computer?

Hello Forum,
While I am away from my office base, I would like to update my blog (created using iWeb) from another computer. I have a dotmac account.
I thought doing this should pose no problems, but I simply can't figure it out.....
Hope someone can help me out on this one.
Many thanks in advance,
Greg

When you go to .mac and log in, you should see stories there regarding the features of .mac. One of the recent ones (should still be on the front page) is Tech note: Using iWeb on more than one Mac
Underneath this header, you'll find
"All you need to do is quit iWeb (if it’s open), locate the domain.sites file (Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites), and move it to wherever you’re going to use it. Then double-click the file in its new location. iWeb will launch, and you’re done. From then on, iWeb will automatically save your work in the new location, and you’ll be able to publish your site from any Mac that has access to it.
So, if your domain.sites is small enough to fit on your iDisk, you could keep a copy there and use it from any computer that has iWeb 1.1 or later installed to update your blog.

Configuring the browser window title for an iWeb-created page?

Hello all,
How do you customize the text that appears in the browser window's title for an iWeb-created page? (e.g., at the top of the browser window where it says "Apple - Support - Discussions - etc."). I had assumed that the the name I designated for the page via the Inspector would be used as the browser window title, but instead iWeb is using the first line of text within the page itself.
Thanks!

You can do it with a HTML snippet with the following code:
<script type='text/javascript'>
parent.document.title = "name you want to appear at the top of the window";
</script>
It takes about a second or two to replace the original text as can be seen in this test page.
Put the snippet box off somewhere where it won't overlap on any other element. It is invisible on the web page and in iWeb until you click on it. I had to do a Select All to find it just now to get the code.

Project deleted in iPhoto 11 ver. 9.1.1
After spending three months building a twenty six page Book Project in iPhoto i added a page and later decided to delete the page. I selected the page, pressed the delete key and confirmed the delete dialog box ( i didn't read, dummy) by pressing the delete button. The whole project was gone, the undo menu was grayed out and there was nothing in the iPhoto trash about my Book.
Surly I can find this if I knew the path to find the project in a library on a back column I have of my hard drive.. Could anyone help me?

Sorry I'm having a hard time getting this.
If I go to my hard drive BIGMAC>Library>Application Support>iPhoto>the only thing in this folder is Themes.
However, when I "Get Info" it's 580MB for 24,421 items. iPhoto says I have 35,977 photos. I would think the database would be into the GB for this many photos.
If I go to BIGMAC>system>Library>I find nothing about iPhoto
Is the iPhoto file in the Application Support the one I need to replace with my backup?
Thanks so much for your help.

IWeb blog new entry not showing up after uploading

I have a blog on my iWeb website and the first entry uploaded just fine, but when I added a new entry it wouldn't upload and it didn't appear to have a file. Everything looked good in the iWeb app, its summary showed up on the blog title page, the entry was there on the entry page and it was also in the archive. Could it have anything to do with the fact I've entered google adsense code to the page?

I've discovered that the problem is that there is no new file for the new blog entry. The other blog entry was published to the site folder before I was online but now when I hit the publish button it goes straight to uploading to my site, and the new entry doesn't show up as it has no file in the folder. How can I get it to publish to the folder before it uploads?

After 10 months of iweb blogging, "creating Page" takes 15 to 20minutes...
