Blog Entries Saved to Folder

Hi all:
I hope those of you who have already used iWeb 2 can answer me. One of the worste thing of the previous version of iWeb was that when I added a new post to my blog and saved it folder, it saved AGAIN all the other unedited posts and pages too. Therefore, when I add the 301th post I have to wait for iWeb to save all the 300. And this is pure madness.
Can I save only the new blog entries with iWeb 2?
Thanks,
-Antonio

I have note tested this yet but I feel quite sure nothing has changed for you.
When you add an entry to your blog your blog's base page has changed it's content; you understand that it must regenerate and upload that page anew. Your archive page too has changed in the respect that it has had the last listed entry on the base page added to the top of it's parade.
It only makes sense that it would have to upload both of these. So I assume it is storing these as two basic pages. One of which, in your case, is extremely large, the archival one. It's true a better approach would be to save 300+ pages and just use url's, but apparently they have decided against this.
I might suggest that you make an entirely separate page for your archival construction and route to it from your base page, rather than letting iWeb take care of all of that for you. If your home-made archival page never changes, it won't upgrade.
So you have your base page with 5 or 10 entries, your archival page with say another 20 or so, then you have your mega-archive as a different blog page inside iWeb, and route user with a url at the bottom of the iWeb archive page.
iWeb isn't the best tool for all jobs. If I was that industrious and had a 300+ entry blog I'd use iBlog (which is a **** of a nice program) or blog.mac, also a great program. Just a thought.
Good luck!

Linking to Adobe PDF on blog entry crashing iWeb

Help! I have been using iWeb to create a website and blog. In a recent blog entry, i linked to an Adobe PDF file on my computer. The link was functioning and working fine, and then I saved the entry and iWeb crashed. I managed to open it back up by sending photos from iPhoto to iWeb. The other pages of the website work fine, and other blog posts also work fine. I tried publishing and the site published. However, in both iWeb and online, the blog post with the linked PDF is now just blank. The PDF works fine on its own and is not corrupted.
I have tried editing the post as well as deleting it in iWeb, but every time I click either button iWeb crashes and gives me an error message. I cannot duplicate the blog post either. This would somehow be okay, but I cannot add a new blog entry in iWeb either (it crashes). other pages are unaffected. I have not attempted deleting the entire blog portion of the website yet. Is there anything I can do to get rid of the malfunctioning blog post besides deleting the whole website and starting from scratch? Bear in mind the back-up of the Domain I saved was after I saved the blog post. Is there a 3rd party app that I can open my Domain in to manually remove the blog entry, or someway to access the code to delete the data that way?

This JUST happened to me as well after linking to a PDF file but now I can't get iWeb to load up, well, it opens and I can see the inspector pane but that is all...the main window is not there and I can't seem to figure out how to get it.
I also noticed a bunch of iWeb stuff in the trash now in a "recovered files" folder.
Any ideas?

Removing some pages/files/archived blog entries with in a website

I noticed on my iDisk there are pages/files/old blog entries that I had removed from my iWeb (on my computer, saved and then published to .Mac). I am getting close to running out of room on my .Mac/iDisk account that is why I saw that there were old pages still on the iDisk/.Mac that I thought I had removed. How do I completely remove these pages/files/old blog entries I no longer need or want?

Hi Peter...
Not sure what is going on here... but I do notice a mistake in the RSS.xml feed URL. When you publish to folder in iWeb, be sure to enter in the domain name of our site. Now in your case, you are uploading to a subdirectory "iwebrats", so you need to include that as well. So in the URL field box in the Publish to Folder window, you should be entering: http://www.petermaher.com/iwebrats/ This will ensure that iWeb generates a valid RSS/podcast feed URL for your site.
Now on to your blog errors....it's behaving like you didn't upload the blog entry at all. When you do a publish to folder, iWeb will lay down two things inside this folder.... an index.html page and a folder (named after your site and containing a bunch of files associated with it). These are the two things that you should be uploading to your "iwebrats" subdirectory. You need to upload both items WITHOUT the enclosing folder. So when you look at your "iwebrats" subdirectory in your FTP program, you should see the index.html program and your sitefolder. Don't take anything out of the sitefolder...just upload it as is. Upload the two items as is, keeping the index.html file outside the site folder.
Go back and double check your uploading. Maybe re-FTP things. I think you will see that your site will work.

Can't find my blog entries in iWeb.

I had just made several days worth of blog entries in iWeb and saved them.
I went to publish them, and now all of my blog entries seem to have disappeared.
All I see is my "About Me" page. I see no blog entries.
My desktop file does not appear to have been updated with the blog entries either.
I'm hoping my new entries are not lost as I spent hours making them.

The "http://web.mac.com/yourname/" approach only seems to show the very first site I made. Is there any way to list all pages I have made? Without using iweb?
Well, your old page might still be there. Check in
this path:
iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/...
Do you see two folders or one? If you only see one,
then your old pages were probably overwritten. If
you see two folders, then presumably the folder names
represent your old site from the old powerbook and
the new dummy site that you just created. If so,
then you can just point your browser to this address
to access the old website...
http://web.mac.com/yourname/iWeb/oldsite/
The new sites that you publish on your new MBP (I'm
jealous, btw) can be accessed via the usual URL...
http://web.mac.com/yourname/
Unfortunately, even if the folder containing your old
website is on your iDisk, there is currently no way
to get it back into iWeb for editing or revising.
Your only recourse is to recreate the site on your
new MBP. In the future, if you ever move machines
again, just be sure to transfer the "Domain" file
which is located in this path...
Users/yourname/Library/Application
Support/iWeb/Domain
This file is where iWeb keeps everything about the
website that you create. Transferring it to a new
machine enables iWeb to pick up right where it left
off on an old machine.
Of course, I've assumed through this whole message
that you don't have access to this "Domain" file from
your old powerbook, do you? If you do, then you're
in luck!
Good luck!

How to delete a blog entry in Lion Server Wiki?

Anyone know how to do this? It seems that even logged in as system administrator you cannot delete blog entries using the web interface.
Wiki help unhelpfully reports that "If Delete Page or Delete File isn't listed, you can't delete the page or file.". Really?
Thanks in advance for any help avail.

The above works most of the time, but sometimes User accounts can be stubborn. I setup an admin account, perhaps unecessarily, when installing lion on a new solid state hard drive. After migrating my original Admin account over from the hard drive I had difficulty in removing the newly created Admin (method: I clicked the minus and deleted the home folder, checking 'erase home folder securely') which resulted in the acct. being downgraded to Standard. Still it would show up at startup login screen. Although logging in to this account (to attempt to logout and then reattempt the delete) was not possible (never ending spinning beachball - not what you want with 20G RAM and a top end SSD).
Then I found this -

Restrictions on the size of blog entry

When I publish a blog entry 200 words about it is appeared properly. But if I write a great article, I see only a blank space on the blog page. But on the front page of the blog in summary form, everything is fine. Does anyone know what is the problem.

You might take a look at your System Profiler description of the machine. Select "About this Mac" from the Apple menu, then click the "More Info" button (at least that's what is says in Tiger). Or you can just launch System Profiler from the Utilities folder.
In either event, you will open to a Hardware Overview like this (except yours will be for the laptop)
Hardware Overview:
Machine Name:          Power Mac G5
Machine Model:          PowerMac7,2

Number Of CPUs:          2

Memory:          5 GB
Bus Speed:          1 GHz
Boot ROM Version:          5.1.4f0
(Note, if you post, do not post your machine's serial number, which will be in the display.)
That being said, my TiBook from 2003 now has a 160G Hitachi Travelstar in it, which was the largest IDE little drive I could get at the time. If your machine is in that time frame or newer, you can put in pretty much anything they make now. Of course, if it is truly a MacBook, then the SATA laptop drives are getting very big.
You can get some more information at this OWC link which will allow you to see how big an IDE drive you can put into a G5 PowerBook.

Lost iWeb '09 Blog Entries

I kept a number of blogs pertaining to my pregnancy and several other topics. A few months ago, I moved the blogs from my main site and created a new site I called Archive. My plan was to publish these to a folder for backup purposes, but the publish always fails.
My larger problem is that now, the blog entries seem to be...not gone, exactly, but I can't see them. On two, the main blog page shows up, and when I click on Entries, I can see the list of my entries and their titles, but I can't scroll through them (list snaps back if I release the mouse button). I can't click on them either. One blog works just fine. One shows the main splash page, but shows only the background of the Entries page.
iWeb won't let me move these out of my Archive site. I have been unable to publish them to MobileMe or to a folder. I've tried deleting plists, etc. but nothing works. Restoring from backup messes up my current sites.
Help, please. I'd like to not lose these. Are these files alive somewhere?

The entries are kept on the MobileMe server I believe and are linked to your main site. If you can move those blog sites back into your main site you might be able to get the entires back. No guarantee however.

BLOG ENTRIES on FTP

I have published my iweb on a ftp server but the blog entries doesn't appear ? what should I do?

Okay, I did some more research (which I should have done beforehand, I know, so sorry for bothering), and it turns out that my problem has indeed to do with my provider. Obviously, iWeb creates file and folder names with german umlaut characters (for instance, "Einträge", which means "entries"). This resulted in conflicts with file name restrictions on the server - something whether Apple nor my provider told me about in the first place. I'm pretty disappointed about this. Anyway, the server could not correctly link to files which were there, but included characters the server did not want to understand.
The solution: A guy from switzerland has written a little app called iWeb Translator, which does the nasty job of translating "the whole iWeb-Site to match the provider's constraints". This did the trick. The link: http://sschoenb.blogspot.com/2007/08/iweb-and-umlaut-characters.html. Thank you, man!

Retreiving lost blog entry with Time Machine

I was working with a new blog entry, when iWeb suddenly quit unexpectedly. I've never been good at hitting the save button, so all my work was lost.
I do run backup with TM, so thought there might be a slim chance that all was good, but alas...
I find the Domain.sites2 file in TM, but when I hit restore this does not change anything! It does not matter which date I try to restore from... iWeb still looks exactly as I left it last. So there must be something I'm doing wrong. Can anyone enlighten me?
Tnks!!

to restore a file (or folder) with TM you launch TM and go back to the time you want, select the item (iPhoto library in this case) and click restore

Blog entry names

I want to use FTP (Fetch) to upload only new blog entries, not the whole blog, to my own domain name. I found this, which tells how to do it (thank you very much!):
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2679140&#2679140
My question is, how do you tell which is the new blog entry when you save to a folder? The names are such long, gibberish-looking things, and the creation date is the same for all the entries. Does it save them in alphabetical order? Do I have to keep a list of all the blog names so I can look for the different one? (shudder)
Thanks,
Satya

i don't blog on the website i have, but one way to do this is to upload everything.
Alternatively, you could see what is different from what is on the FTP server and upload that.
Good luck!

Image from blog entry page not showing up on 'home' page of blog

My first blog entry went well. I created a blog first page, then created an entry, and dragged a picture to that entry. I saved, published, and all looked great. Even the comment area worked. But when I created a second entry page, and dragge a picture to it, and saved, the photo is not showing up on that first page of the blog, the one that reads like a list only with a picture and teaser part of the entry...See http://web.me.com/brendatharp1/brendatharpblog/OnTheRoad/OnTheRoad.html
The entry listing is there on the first page, and when you click on the title link, it takes you to the entry page and the photos are there. I noticed that on the first page, the Sept 13th entry with photo is inside a text box of sorts - this was the layered paper template I used and then modified. Dbl-clicking to make that box interactive shows the black floating box for dealing with the placement of the photo in that list; but that box only relates to that one photo from the 13th. If I drag and drop the 15th's photo there, it just sits over the text and doesn't interact. AND I didn't have to do that with the first entry. Any ideas out there? Thanks much, Brenda.

Does this thread help http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1711038&tstart=15
I have experienced this and it was because I removed the placeholder and just added the image on the entry page. I duplicate blog entries and delete content to add new stuff so don't have to reformat every time, if you do that don't remove the image just add on the top - it should replace the previous image. Hope this helps, it is frustrating at times but the more you learn the easier it becomes.

Blog entries on my web site don't show, error message

Hi everyone,
I'm fully aware that my question may be off topic since it is possible that my problem has to do with my internet provider rather than with iWeb. If so, I would like to apologise.
Now this is what is puzzling me. I made my first web site using iWeb, and it looks pretty promising. When I click on the index file, my browser starts and shows me that everything works. I even managed to publish the site to a folder and to send the files via FTP to my provider. Everything seems to work just fine, all the pages show up, except for one thing - the blog page. What happens is this - online with my browser, I can see the blog overview with the first ten lines of each article. However, when I click on one of the blog entries to see the whole thing, I get a 404 error message telling me that the requested URL was not found on the server. But the files are there! Is there a way to "link" the blog entry files with the overview again? Or should I talk to my provider?
Thanks for your help!

Not using Blog Entry as part of the URL

hi all,
When I publish my iWeb site containing a blog to a folder, I noticed that some of the folder is using my bolg entry/topic as part of the folder name.
Is it possible to get iWeb not use this.
thanks in advance.

Here;s an entry on Kyn Drake's site that might help you:

Add blog entries from other computers?

I use iWeb on my home machine, but sometimes want to post a quick update from work. Is there any way to do this? Seems like a reasonable feature to have.
Jason

iWeb stores your site data in a domain.sites2 file in Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
Each of you would have to have access to the latest version of this file to be able to add blog entries.
The easiest way to do this at home is to network the two Macs and use file sharing.
To add an entry you would drag the domain file from the Shared folder to Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb, launch iWeb, add your stuff and then place a copy of the updated domain file back in to Shared.
If you are working remotely, you can keep the file on your iDisk or simply email it.
The advantage of having a copy on your iDisk is that, if anything goes wrong, you have a backup - off site.

Organize blog entries by date

does anyone know how to re organize blog entries by date. Currently when I add a new entry it goes to the top of the list I need new entries to go to the bottom. I am using a blog page as a calendar of events and the order of dates is backwards from the way I need it if you go here you will see what I mean
http://web.mac.com/calicowoodsigns/ArtistOn_The_Go/Calendar_of_Events/Calendar_ofEvents.html
Thanks for the help and have a good day

Thanks For the help.I published the site to a folder, opened both files in dreamweaver and I see what you are saying. But this fix has me manually editing both files every-time I make a new post. and as far as i understand this will not work when publishing to .mac. do you have any other thoughts.
You don't have to redo everything if you keep copy of the edited xml.
When you add a new entry you just copy the last entry from the new xml and paste into the edited xml and replace it (keep a edited copy for future use though).
As for publishing to .mac, your site is located in your iDisk, mount your iDisk, and do the same procedure.
