Artist asks about bandwidth constraints and blogging options

I converted to Mac two months ago and am loving what I can do. I am creating two websites using iWeb '09 (not published yet). It occurred to me that knowing a few things about bandwidth and blogs would help me create better web sites.
I am a professional artist working in a variety of media. For the last three years I have had a professionally created web site that is "hosted" by the web designer. I would like to replace that website with one that I am creating in iWeb. I am considering getting a hosting package with 1 & 1 (although from the answers I am reading on the forum, that may not be necessary). I purchased my domain name through 1 & 1 years ago and will continue to use it. (I have been reading how to do that in the forum).
My artist website will have many pages and many images. When I add the second website, I plan to have an active blog where I encourage people to include pictures in their comments. This would mean even more traffic, downloads, and uploads of images per month. Obviously I am looking in increase traffic to both sites. I am concerned about potentially exceeding the bandwidth permitted.
The Mobile Me package I purchased when I bought the computer has 20 GB of iDisk storage and 200 GB data transfer per month. (I understand that that is expandable to up to 60 GB/600GB. *Do you recommend I increase my package when I publish or can I purchase the additional bandwidth as I get close to capacity?)*
*By the way, if my site were hosted by 1 & 1, for instance, do I still need to stay in the Mobile Me permitted monthly data transfer bandwidth in the package?.*
Because I will now have the ability to update the content of my artist website as of often as needed, I will no longer need the Blogger hosted blog I am currently using (which is under a domain name I purchased through 1 & 1) . I am considering converting that Blogger account (or creating another) to the blog host for my second website (through an external link to my second web site). *However, it is my understanding that if I did that I would not be able to receive comments. Is that correct?*
I like the idea of linking to the Blogger account because of it's bandwidth. I could of course decide not create a second website and just use a Blogger account for the blog I want to create. However Blogger's layout does not allow as much room or flexibility of layout for telling the story of the project effectively.
Alternately I could dump the Blogger blog altogether and use my blog pages within my second Mobile Me website. But again it is the bandwidth issue because I want to encourage uploads of images from people commenting.
Alternately I have looked into creating a whole new Blog using Wordpress and have it completely freestanding and not related to my Mobile me account. However, if possible I would prefer to use a less complicated solution. I still have so much I am having fun learning about the things I can do with my iMac.
Any suggestions?

By the way, if my site were hosted by 1 & 1, for instance, do I still need to stay in the Mobile Me permitted monthly data transfer bandwidth in the package?.
The bandwidth you use, ie the amount of data transferred by you and your vistors, is calculated where you host your pages.
If you have no pages/images hosted at MobileMe than nothing is counted. If you host your pages/images at 1and1, then they do the counting.
And before you buy more space, first check what you actually use. At MobileMe : your user account.
20GB is 20.000.000.000 bytes. (to keep it simple)
Use a calculator to do the math.
I want to encourage uploads of images from people commenting.
The blog at MobileMe allows comments with attachments. That means that any visitor can upload anything. Also garbage.

I have an iMac model 4,1 running OSX 10.6.8.   The CD/DVD drive went bad and I have replaced it. However I can not get disks to eject.   I have asked about this before and tried all all the suggestions I have received but I can not eject.

Yesterday I opened up the iMac and reinstalled the drive to make sure that it was not an alignment problem.   I still can not eject.   When I try to eject the drive makes noises like it is ejecting but the disk does not come out.
How do I solve this problem?

Hi again Hal
Link to your other thread > The slot loading CD/DVD drive in my...: Apple Support Communities
You have also tried resetting the PRAM as I suggestion in your other thread...?
See resetting the PRAM > About NVRAM and PRAM
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6. Release the keys.

I want to ask about changing perspective and perspective correction in photoshop. Obviously, we can tilt and straighten buildings and other monuments, which are leaning in any direction. Now, what I want to know is whether we can change perspective for human faces. For example, if there is a human face, where one part of the face is facing the camera and the other part of the face is only partially facing the camera, can we make this face look totally at the camera? I mean, look straight in front, and I am talking about the whole face here. I am attaching an image as an example of what I am talking about. @

If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
If there are specific tasks you need help with:

I'm going through the exact same problem. I plugged in last night. Updated and when it came down to restoring it gave me the same message. Corrupt or not compatible.

HT201304 I can't download any app from App Store cuz every time I put my password it's ask about it again, and it's rebeted ?

I can't download any apps from App Store, every time I go there I put my password it's returned to ask me about my password again & it's reverted every time I do it don't know why ?

First, try resetting your iPad:
Hold both the Home button and the power key down for 10 seconds or so until the Apple logo appears. Let go promptly when it does appear and then wait another 20 seconds or more for you iPad to turn back on again. This will not cause any loss of date or change any settings.
See if it works after that.

I bought second hand mobile phone and I made new Apple ID. I need to update application specially whats app application whenever I need to update iphone asked about old id and I won't know who use this iphone before. I already changed id.

reset it to factory defaults and start from the scratch
Bear in mind that this method will erase all data on the phone - you won't be able to get it back - so be absolutely sure you want to do this before proceeding.
Open the ‘Settings' menu
Tap the ‘General' menu option
Tap the ‘Reset' category
Select ‘Erase all content and settings'
The phone will go through the deletion process which may take some time to complete, as much as 15 minutes. When it finishes the phone will reboot and be at factory default settings.

About 'External data' and 'Procedure' option in PLD

Hi all,
Can u please tell me what is the use of 'procedure' option in PLD.we can get this option when we select any text then in the genral tab of properties if we select field type as 'EXTERNAL DATA' then in the content tab we get source type 'PROCEDURE NAME'.
Please give me example of this.

chetan,
You can use external data field to display
company logo,Signatures etc., that is of legal importance.
Create company logos's/signatures and run it as a dll file.
Add dll file in procedure name in external data field.

Asking about N79 Browser and copy/paste function

I think the browser that is in the N79 is pretty darn good! I wonder what is it based on? Is it Safari or Opera? Or is it Nokia's own?
The only thing lacking is that I cant copy and paste stuff. Lets say I copy a link from a SMS sent to me, how do I paste it at the address bar or at a forum like this?
Nokia N79 8GB
SW Version: 11.049 RM-348

i think it is safariesque one. you might be able to copy and paste by using your hash button or #, hold it down and while holding use navi pad to hilight the area you want to copy and paste. i am not sure if this works on n79 but it does work on other n series models. try this. if it does not work i am sure that someone will come up with the right solution for you.

You are creating a new account and following the instructions exactly ? i.e. selecting a free app in the store and creating an account when 'buying' it.

I set firefox to open a filetype (.SGF) w/ a program but it doesn't, so I set it to save/ask and neither option works, it always opens file link in a new tab.

I've gone into the Options and set the .SGF file to open with Smartgo. It refuses to do that. Clicking on a link to a .SGF file simply opens the file as text in a new tab.
Since this didn't work, I tried to set firefox to download it instead, because then I can use the window's filetype associations to open it. It won't download the file unless I actually right-click and save-as on the link.
This is tedious when viewing lots of these files. I even set it to Ask me after I saw the the Download option didn't work. It doesn't Ask me. What is going on here?
Also I am using firefox 23
EDIT: It seems to be website specific. Some websites will allow me the option to open it in Smartgo, others will just open it in a tab as text. What is causing this discrepancy and can it be surmounted through browser settings?
An example website to showcase the issue is:
http://igokisen.web.fc2.com/wr/lg.html
clicking on any of these links will not download, open, or ask about what you want to do with the file.

That happens if the server sends the file as text/plain.
You can see this if you open "Tools > Page Info > General": Content-Type: text/plain
Files send this way will always open in a tab.

I run OSX10.6.8. Just dwnlded FF8.1 and everytime I go to open it I am asked about the disk image. But if I delete the dmg, the program won't run.

I just downloaded the 8.1 version. It was a 30+mb file. Previously I ran 4.0. So I drag the new Firefox icon into the Apps folder. It does its merge thing with the old version. Problem is when I click to open FF now, it always throws up this window asking me about the disk image of what I just downloaded. I even tried restarting the computer--but the same message pops up. I checked on your website and it says that I need to "eject" the disk image (i.e. I'm guessing that means the 30+ mb file I just down loaded), so since I don't have an eject option that I can find (except for external harddrives and cd/dvd), I just drug it into the trash. I go to empty the trash and I get a message that that dmg file is "in use" even though FF is completely shut down. So again I'm guessing that means that even though I already merged that dmg file with the old 4.0 version file, if I dump the update file it seems that it's going to mess up the actual revised program file still remaining. I just want to be able to click on the icon in my dock like I've always done and have FF open. I don't want to keep being asked about disk image stuff. Somehow this feels like an easy resolution, but I just can't seem to put my finger on how to resolve it. Thanks for you help.

Nope---didn't work. I've owned Macs for about 12 years so although I am brain dead on some things, I do have a working knowledge on most things. I only say that to say this--I did try holding down the mouse and choosing empty trash. It asks if I want to permanently delete what's in there. I say yes--and then I get the same identical message again-----'The operation can't be completed because the item "Firefox 8.0.1.dmg" is in use I can then click stop, or continue.' So apparently that complains the same way it does if I click it up on the menu :)))
As for item owned by---that's not an issue and isn't coming up. User is not a problem either as I am the only user on this system. There is only ONE file in my trash at the moment at that is this dmg file. Nothing Mac. Nothing owned by anyone other than Firefox. The problem seems to be that the dmg file and the original 4.0 FF file are working in tandem with each other--even though I have already drug the new 8.0 globe into the Apps folder and it updated the FF app with the new stuff. If I could force the dmg file to go away, I would do so, but at every turn the system is telling me it can't be done because it seems to think that dmg file is in use---even though everything is shut down and/or ejected. Hey--I'm getting ready to head out and won't be back till evening. I'll check back in this evening. Thank you again for your help.

Why when i use firefox 4 or 5 they didn't ask like firfox3 save and quit this option not include in 4 or 5 or 6

why when i use firefox 4 or 5 they didn't ask like firfox3 save and quit this option not include in 4 or 5 or 6

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows. 
You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page. 
 
Another possibility is to use:

I have few questions to ask about the Expert Series and Valet Series

Hello.
I have few questions to ask about the Expert Series and Valet Series.
1. I see there aren't any print server/bridge/access point for these two new series. Do I have to use previous ones? Or the new ones are in planned in near future?
2. Do I "HAVE TO USE CONNECT SOFTWARE"? Can I just use web interface to do every setting that these routers features?
3. Does expert series routers support guest network and parental control?
4. When I look into informations of these router, some router doesn't give information about backward compatible to older standards. Do I have to consider that as they are backward compatible with older standards?
Ok, that's all for now.
If I need to ask more questions I will do that in this thread as reply

With the New Expert or the Valet Series Router, you still can use the Print Server / Bridge and Access Points.
Well with the Expert and Valet Series router, you have an option to User Cisco Connect Software or you can User Web Interface of the Router. But with the Cisco Connect Software you have an Advantage of creating a Guest Account and using Parental Control , which is not available using the Web Interface.
These both the routers are backward compatible and they can connect to your G Series Product.
