Allowing comments on blog

I am unable to allow comments to be placed on my blog. Since this is a family reunion website/blog, it would really be great to hear from others and have them be able to post messages regarding the reunion. Any help out there?

Changed hosting company and blog no longer allows comments to be left

Since Mobile Me will no longer be hosting websites I have jumped the gun and purchased hosting from domain.com. Now the blog area i had that was able to leave comments no longer allows comments. Is there a way to fix this

Blog comments were a MobileMe only feature so there is no way to fix it in iWeb when you then publish your site via ftp - you can't get the blog comments full stop.
What you can do though is use a comments system like http://www.intensedebate.com which is free. Incorporate this where you want your comments to appear.
Either this or you change your blog to WordPress or http://www.posterous.com and create a link from your site to your new blog.
These are your only options really.

When I use IWeb for my blog, many people claim they are unable to use the comment window, claiming they get an "error" message. I have check "allow comments" on the appropriate page. Any help would be great.

When I use IWeb to post my blog, many readers claim they are unable to post a comment. When they attempt, they receive an "error" message. I have check and re-checked that "allow comments" is checked in the appropriate window. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can publish your blog on any server but will lose the commenting capability. Since you'll have to find a new host soon anyway since MMe will go away on June 30, you might consider converting your blog to WordPress as that's the only other blog type that an MMe blog can be converted to and keep it's comments, etc. Rage Software has create an application that will convert an iWeb blog to WordPress: Convert Your iWeb Blog to a WordPress Blog | iWeb to WordPress. That way you can keep your blog's continuity.

Blog does not allow comments

Blog used to allow comments. This feature is now missing. Is it unavailable or is it a setting that I need to change with my domain server?

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.

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.

How do I only allow comments on certain pages?

I have a Blog and I obviously don't want every page to allow comments. It seems that you allow comments or not. Surely this cant be. Do do you allow comments on some entries and not others.

Doesn't anyone know if its possible?

Can't post comments to Blog after MobileMe push

My blog will not allow anyone to post comments now, since the MobileMe migration. When you click "add comment" it brings up the MobileMe migration page with info on MobileMe. I believe that I have set up everything necessary on my computer for MobileMe, so how do I get the blog to quit directing to this page? I have two autistic children, and I use this blog for their therapists to post comments about their daily therapy sessions - I really need to get this fixed QUICK! Also, when publishing the blog, I get an error message at the very end - "error publishing" - but everything is visible like it published successfully. Thanks for any help.

It is not just the Blogs, my Photos pages won't allow comments either. I just started with iWeb a couple of weeks ago and it took me a while to discover that the comments feature was not working. Made me feel kind of foolish, I had asked some friends to check out my site and then was a little perturbed that they hadn't posted any comments.
I would hate to try setting up on another site as I like the basic simplicity of iWeb.
Does anybody know of anything else as easy to use? I'm in the trial period and if this doesn't get fixed I definitely will not be continuing.

Viewing new comments on blogs and podcasts

Hello,
So, I open up iweb and the symbol with the number pops up on the iweb icon(which from what I've gathered is the "new comments"). Is there a way to just check the new comments, or do I have to go through my site and find them one by one. I allow comments on my pictures(as well as my blog and podcast) and I have a lot of pictures, so going through one by one to find comments doesn't seem to make much sense because it would take forever.
Thanks for the help.
Jimmy

I just spent a lot of time trying to figure this out myself, but I finally did.
In iWeb, look to the left side of the page names in the left hand column. You will see a blue dot next to any page with new comments somewhere within. If the comment is for a blog entry, the blue dot will be next to the main blog page. Click on "entries" under that and look for the blue dot to the left of the blog entry titles.
If the comment is on a photo, there will be a little comment icon on all photos where comments have been left. The icon is hard to see and there's no apparent way to tell which photo might have new comments that I can see, bu it's there. The icon is a little white bubble in the bottom right hand corner of the photo -- it's a bit hard to see.

Allow comments problem

I added "allow comments" for my blog pages. When I tested it out after going to the published page and click on "add comments", it responded with "can't connect with application instance". What does that mean?

In support of Ethmoid's suggestion of moving to a new host, etc. if you want to keep your blog's comments intact you can use Rage Software's iWeb to WordPress application to covnert your existing iWeb blog to an WordPress blog which can be hosted on your new server along with the rest of your iWeb website: Convert Your iWeb Blog to a WordPress Blog | iWeb to WordPress for Mac OS X

Comments on Blog

I am new to this forum and joined to hopefully get some help in regards the Blog I write. I have been writing my Blog for a year and have just found out that readers cannot post comments onto my blog. Upon visiting my webpage and clicking on the "post a comment" tab, a new window opens up with the message "We're sorry. We are having a problems processing your request". This is not a day thing but keeps happening. Can anyone help? Thanks in advanced

Ali ~ Welcome to the discussions. See this Apple doc:
MobileMe: Unable to add comments to blog pages
...which was found by searching here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=search
In order for people to look at your site/blog, they can use either your mac.com or me.com URL. But in order to post their comments on your blog (if you've allowed them), they must use your me.com URL. If they try to add a comment via your mac.com URL, they'll get this message:
"We're sorry. We are having a problem processing your request."
...so it's probably better to tell everyone to use the me.com URL to access your site, i.e.
http://web.me.com/alixander
...not:
http://web.mac.com/alixander
You can send feedback about this problem to Apple here:

Too bad. MM is gone. I moved from MM to GoDaddy. NowWordpress no long offers iWeb to wp. Is there another way to allow comments on my iWeb blogs?

There's this: Migrate iWeb blog to WordPress - Mac OS X Hints. And MobileMe is not gone yet so you can try using the free scrpt provided to migrate youir blog to WordPress.
If you don't have a lot of comments to lose you can continue with an iWeb blog and add one of the commenting sites to you blog. Some are:
Disqus (an example is here: Disqus Comment in a Scrolling iFrame)

Allow comments on imovie.iweb page

i need to understand how to add user comments to a iweb/movie rather than the blog page - so that the movie page allows comments?

This is just a comment on the side; it does not pretend to be an answer to you question. However, there is a dotmac.info site which does indeed allow for comments of your imovie.

Allowed Comments, but it doesn't show

I'm using iWeb 09 and publish my website through a third party hosting site.
I'd like visitors to be able to add comments to my blog.
I checked "allow comments" in the inspector toolbar. Nothing changes with my website, there is no option to leave comments.
How do I set up comments with a third party host?

Thanks - I've figured out how to publish to Mobile Me, so it works now... the only thing that still isn't working for me are the photos in the blog summary - they are not the images that show up in publisher, or the photos in the image placeholders of the actual blog entries... any suggestions on how to fix that?

I have created a PDF and password protected it for view. However, when reading the PDF in Adobe Reader app on the iPad the commenting and annotation options are not available. Is there a way to allow commenting and annotation in the app while password protecting the document?

Is there a setting that needs to be set to allow the annotation features? I set password protection to open and then password for editing and set it to Any except page extraction, but it still did not give the annotation option

How can I allow commenting in a certified document/

In Acrobat Pro 9, I created a certified document by selecting "Certify with out Visible Signature." I tried all three settings in "Permitted Changes after Certifying" but my PDF still does not allow commenting in Reader. The PDF allowed commenting before I certified it---how can I enable commenting after certification?

Tags are independent of PDF page content. Removing/deleting a page or page(s) does not remove anything in the PDF's structure tree.
As Full Check is looking at the structure tree the report reflects what is present there.
In the Tags panel walk the structure tree to locate the Table tags. Delete these.
