Blog entries won't update

No matter what I try the test entry 'page' remains. It won't update any extra entries. However if you click on the 'subscribe" the new ones will show up in the rss feed.

New blog entries experience "error updating .Mac", and no "add comments"

Blog always worked fine. Now new blog entries get error updating .Mac message. New post does appear online, but there is no Add Comments option, despite it being selected in the inspector. Also, the blog main page doesn't show a title in the title bar at top. Might this have something to do with the new Mobile Me features (which I haven't tried or signed up for). When I delete the new posting and publish, it publishes fine. This error even happens with the template pg, so it's not anything to do with my formatting. Thanks for your help.

I have not tried publishing a new Blog entry since the new "me" thing, but I did try just a text edit on an existing Entry and republished the Entry. It seemed to function normally.
However, all of my Comments are missing from all my Blog entries - although the hit counts are still there.
And my Slide Shows won;t work and thumbnails won't enlarge on my photo pages.
Everything was working perfectly before this big "improvement" we just got.
I sure hope this is temporary or I just might throw a fit. There was a lot of valuable stuff in those comments, and if there won;t be a Comments function at all, I won't be able to keep my blog at mac. com or me whatever.
Why fix what isn't broken?

Blog entries are broken with latest iWeb update

I received an update to iWeb within the past couple days, apparently related to the changes for MobileMe. Now the publish command is "Publish to MobileMe".
I published new blog entries since the program update. Now all the links to the blog entries are shown as $link$ and none of them work.
I cannot find how to send an email to Apple Support about this. The MobileMe support page shows Chat which is not active and pointers to all kinds of sources except a source that will allow me to communicate the problem directly to Apple in a simple way.
Does anyone know what is going on? This MobileMe transition is nothing but problems for me so far when I am just trying to use the same stuff in iWeb that I've been using fine for a long time.

Thank you very much for your post.
Good news: Publish All solved the problem.
Bad news: This is clearly a case where basic testing was sorely lacking and the new service was rushed out. The solution is draconian and not really acceptable for large amounts of content.
I had thought about doing Publish All but knew it would take probably a couple hours to complete for the multiple gigabytes of content that I had. After I saw the post then I started the Publish All before I went to bed. I check in the morning and it had worked.

Blog won´t update

I have been trying for weeks to enter new entries into my blog, and it is just not happening - If I publish the changes, there are always viewable if I click on the icon "visit your website now" - but shortly thereafter they have vanished I just don´t understand what´s happening - I have upped the number of Blog Entries to 50 and still no cigar.... Can somebody please help? Since my page is really quite large, I can´t republish the whole thing every day....

Blog entry page won't publish from iWeb and MobilMe....

For some reason my blog entry page wont publish on my website. The rest of the site does, including my blog and archive, but not the new page. I do see the new page on the blog page, but when you click on it the new page has no text or pictures. When I published (uploaded) everything went as usual, I just can't see that page published. Any ideas?

Have you tried the File->Publish All to Mobileme menu option? That often will jump start a belligerent page.

Photo problems in blog entries...

I am having problems with photos and images displaying in blog entries. I am able to place photos in the text of my blog entries but upon publishing some will display and some won't (in any web browser or system used).
I have tried emptying Safari caches and reloading pages but to no avail. Some photos are still missing (they are displaying as a small question mark when viewed online).
What's worse is that reinserting the photos in iWeb and then republishing will make some of the missing photos appear on my site while others that were displaying okay previously will now be gone.
The result is that many of my blog entries are always missing photos.
Examples of this can be seen by clicking to view the various entries here:
http://web.mac.com/jtbcmac/iWeb/MaiTai/MontrealTiki/Archive.html
and here:
http://web.mac.com/jtbcmac/iWeb/MaiTai/OtherArticles/Archive.html
I am currently trying to reload things, so pages may or may not look ok when you view them.

Mac OS X (10.4.4)

UPDATE:
All seems to be fine now... after making minor changes on each of the affected pages and republishing a couple of times.
But I have a feeling the problem will re-occur... as it has in the past... when I make a new blog entry.

Posting Podcast file to user blog entry

Hello,
I have a Apple Xserve (originally running Tiger) that was running a blog for some podcasting training that I was doing with some faculty at our high school. Faculty could subscribe to the podcast/blog in iTunes using the link provided for them automatically on the blog page. This was working fine and would update the podcast subscription for the faculty user as postings were added.
I got my Leopard cd in the mail for the Xserve. The faculty were ready for students (high school seniors) to start working/posting podcasts, the next step for podcasting in our district. I took an afternoon and did the Leopard install in hopes that we might also use the wiki/shared calendar offerings available in Leopard.
I did a standard install for the Leopard server, set up the users and groups, and then starting posting to the newly created user blogs. In the blog for the seniors, I enabled the podcast blog setting. The blog shows a Subscribe in iTunes link which opens iTunes and subscribes the visitor to the podcast. However, it will not load any of the podcast/blog entries into iTunes.
With the help of John Slaughter at Notre Dame, I was able to see that apparently the RSS feed is not parsing the "Subscribe to iTunes" URL correctly. John noticed that "Well, Safari agrees that it's an RSS feed. Not a valid one, but it does load. I wonder what's up with the " <div class="wiki_entry">" in the source code (which gets parsed out to div class="wiki_entry" in the browser.) Are they pasting the Quicktime HTML code into the body of the blog itself or using the upload feature? Because the blog will convert all "<"
On a related note, when posting a new entry to a blog, I cannot use the Podcast upload feature to upload the podcast file. It just hangs. I can add the file to the blog post by using the "Insert images, audio, or Quicktime movies" button in blog entry area.
You can see the blog here
http://podcast.forrest.k12.ms.us/users/nfhsseniors/blog/
I would appreciate any direction/advice on how to 1) get the Podcast upload to work, and 2) get the iTunes subscription to start pulling in the postings. I want to get this available and publicized soon so that our students can show off their work publicly.
Thanks,
Dane

Hi Dane,
I have exactly the same problem. Plus I'm finding it difficult to make progress... Sounds as though we were the same - happily running podcasts under the old system. Upload a file and use RSS Podcast to subscribe. Apparently this was running software called Blojsom.
Apple have changed to their own stuff. It was even difficult for me to find where the old blogs were and to reinstate them - but at least I got them up, trouble is now iTunes won't work because of the RSS feed problem. In fact as the RSS is now so well hidden away it gives me a headache as I had a lot of other things using it - even a mobile phone service linked to the podcast..
Now I can't subscribe or post a podcast up - I get a spinning wheel while it says it's uploading the podcasting material and stops at that. I have all the the right settings switched on to podcast etc, and followed all the other stuff about DNS to the letter.
One of our issues is that we are not using podcast producer (so I found nothing in that discussion group) - which is an automated workflow make-a podcast-as-you-go type thing, we just want to put up a media file (mp4 etc) and have it podcast. Yep it still shows the blog:
http://podcast.ycoastco.ac.uk/users/admin/
but it no longer podcasts or accepts files to be podcast.
I'm sorry that this is no help apart from empathy across the atlantic but I do have a good Apple guy looking at it for me - I'll keep you posted.
kind regards
Mick

Can't edit Blog Entries

Hi,
When I open iWeb, I can edit the other pages in my site, but the Blog Entries page either won't load, or will load partially. I can't see past entries or edit new entries.
If I can see the Add Entry button, and I click it, iWeb crashes.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!

I have seen a similar problem today.
We have our blogs hosted at wordpress.com. In Contribute 6.5 (never before having touched the blogs in it) I went to add my blogs, entered my wordpress login details. Contribute spent a bit of time loading stuff. Then I had to go to lunch and shut Contribute down without editing anything.
When I got back I was informed by my colleagues that all of out blogs (which they had subscribed to be email) had sent them emails that were essentially empty. At the time I assumed that they got them because they are also blog admins.
On our test blog (which is hidden) I did a test post. It posted OK but when I tried to edit both an existing post and the post I had just done Contribute responded that I did not have a connection to that site. I noticed that the domain had changed from http:// to https:// - I've looked for a way to tell Contribute to see these as the same but can't find any.
Then we got feedback from a customer that he'd got the emails as well. So it appears that ANY activity by Contribute is triggering wordpress to send these updates. And from what I'm seeing now it does it whenever I connect with ANY of the blogs.

Rss widget won't update

I recently updated my blog but the rss widget won't update with the new entry, I've waited a full day. The rss feed address is: http://www.berrylibrary.com/Blog/rss.xml
Apple Mail, Google Reader, etc. all get the update but the iWeb RSS Widget refuses. I also took the widget out and put it back with no success.

Here is my trick to get my rss feed fixed:
Make a change in the Inspector that only affects the blog (but all entries), like disabling comments and right away enabling them again in the rss window of the Inspector (I don't know for sure but this could erase your existing comments); that will return the images in the right places or put them back if they disappeared altogether. This will also clean up the rss feed.
Disabling comments crashes iWeb, so it is important to enable it immediately after having disabled it, so you click in fact twice in the check box, off and on again.
But you will have to do this each time you add a post to your blog, or to any of your blogs, because it seems a change in one blog or site may have a damaging effect on an other blog.

How do I change the order of blog entries?

How can I change the order of my blog entries? I want to add some extra items with an earlier date but iWeb won't let me drag the entries around and insists they must stay in the order of the creation date. What do I do?

Chris...
yeah, I'm probably not making myself clear... change the date on the podcast page entry. Select the entry you want to edit, then move your mouse down to the actual page that appears below. On that page, below the title, is a date. Change that. It will change the date published in the entry list above.

This is the standard listing... day spelled out, Month and day number, year. iWeb has to see it in this format to make the changes above.

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.

Necessary to re-build every blog entry????

So I am a novice computer user. I was able to design and publish my site on iweb. Very happy with the results. except.... do i really need to re-build every blog entry i make? when i add a new entry, I basically have to start from scratch everytime. doesn't seem like an efficent useof my time.... hoping there is a way to save my template so i would only have to update the content and not the page itself.
also wondering if it is possible to manage and upload my site from multiple computers?
thanks in advance for any help.

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!

Add meta property="go:image" to my blog entries

How do I add <meta property="go:image" to my individual blog entries?
The way I had it configured was working until yesterday - when the new BC update was released - and I am now getting this message from the FB Debugger
Meta Tags In Body
Your page has meta tags in the body instead of the head. This may be because your HTML was malformed and they fell lower in the parse tree.
Please fix this in order for the tags to be usable.

Liam -
I disabled the beta features and that seemed to fix the problem this morning without adding the <head></head> ---- that seemed to work until it didn't...
so I went and added <head></head> updated, check the source code - looked like it took the <head></head> tags but the FB Debugger scraper still came back with same error
went back into the editor and it had removed the <head></head> tags
I've tested a number of blog posts and commerce items - some work, some don't (could be old scrapes I suppose)
I also had to switch from using the editor in Safari to Chrome to get the editor to update anything
(To my knowledge I never actually enabled beta - noticed the editor change a month or so ago - I knew it was buggy after talking to support about that time, but this meta image tag was working till Friday so I hadn't disabled it)

Adding tag to blog entries

Hi,
I'd like to be able to add tag to blog entries when submitting through a workflow, the purpose is to authorize typing them as additional userRequirments ou hardcoded ones in the workflow (podcast formats, sizes,...)but i can't find in "man pcastaction" how to do this..
Do anyone has an idea how to do this ?
Thanks in advance,
Julien

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.
