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!

Publishing One Blog Entry At a Time

I am going to use my website and blog page for a class I am going to teach, and I will use my blog page to assign journal assignments. I would like to do some of these in advance, but I only want to publish one entry at a time. Does that make sense? Can I do such a thing?
Thanks!

I don't think you can selectively withhold the publication of blog entries — once they're created, they're all published next time you publish.
Problems with iWeb's blog are a recurring theme on these forums and it's advisable not to use it for important projects — or perhaps for anything! ...For a success story with a non-iWeb blog hosted on WordPress, see this old thread:
To blog or not to blog
And to link to an external blog from iWeb's navbar:
Create a blank internal page titled "Blog" (Actually you can name the page whatever you want.) Then in that Blog page add an HTML Snippet with the following code:
<script type="text/javascript">
parent.window.location = "http://www.yourblogname.com"; // change this to your own URL
</script>
...Once published, clicking on "Blog" in the navbar will immediately redirect to your external Blog page. (Thanks to Cyclosaurus for the code).
Since teaching often involves "social networking", you may find web-based Ning provides some useful functionality:

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
CPU Type:          PowerPC 970 (2.2)
Number Of CPUs:          2
CPU Speed:          2 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU):          512 KB
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.

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.

Blog entry: macs can't see, pc's can?

I am unable to view the text or main photo of my blog entry. It looks fine in iWeb, and all PC users can view - just not those on a mac? I can't see the text or main photo on my mac at work either. I have tried re-publishing several times, but for some reason, this blog entry is giving me problems. Thanks in advance for any advice!

can't help but noticed your page name, especially this part: %E2%80%A8
that is unicode escape sequence for line separator:

did you happen to copy+paste from another app?

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!

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:
http://ww2.makentosh.com/tipsfromtheiceberg/Blog/Entries/2008/6/22A_ShortURL.html

Can't get specific URL for blog entry.

I run a blog at http://www.w0rdvomit.com and I want to get a separate page link for each blog entry, but when I click on it all it says in the url bar is www.w0rdvomit.com. Is there any way that I can change it so I can have the blog links come up also?

If your blog is just displaying your domain name for every page, then you are probably using masked web forwarding?
To get anything different, then you need to set up CNAME forwarding, so enter your domain name into your MobileMe account and then go to your domain name registrar and go to the DNS settings and set up a new CNAME with the alias as your domain name and your host as web.me.com. This is the only way it will work and if you want to do this but your domain registrar does not offer CNAME forwarding, then you are looking at moving your domain name to somewhere that does offer this such as GoDaddy.

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!

Default title on each blog entry

When selecting a new blog, each one has its own default title and it also extends to each blog entry created. When it is changed on the first page, why doesnt it do the same on each entry page too? I am tired of changing the title every time I create a new page!!!

You are going to have to add the BC tags to output your meta data on the Blog Post Layout. You can find this layout in BC under Site Manager > Module Templates > Blog Layout > Blog Post Details Layout. If you prefer to edit your layout via FTP you can find that layout in /Layouts/Blog/post.html
In your layout add {tag_blogpostmetadescription} and {tag_blogpostmetatitle} where you need them.. typically it's in the HEAD element:
<title>{tag_blogpostmetatitle}</title>
<meta content="{tag_blogpostmetadescription}" name="description" />
You can use any number of tags available to the blog post layout-- you can see those under "Blogs: post.html" at http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/kb/tags---quick-reference.html#id_32612
While you're editing the blog post detail layout you could also add other metadata like the Facebook Open Graph meta information too, like <meta name="og:title" content="{tag_blogpostmetatitle}" />
BC just made an update to the Blog engine which lets you add Open Graph or other meta data to the blog post detail layout. For info about those blog changes see the BC Blog post at http://www.businesscatalyst.com/bc-blog/april-system-update

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 -

Blog entry didn't show up on blog summary page. ¿Por qué?

RE: Blog
Last night I wrote a blog entry, but the first few sentences did NOT show up on the blog summary page. I previously had set the blog entry length to be short (toggled far to the left), but there is a difference between a short length and NO length at all.
Why do you suppose this happened?
INFORMATION: Prior to writing the blog entry I was having difficulty with the picture not showing up on the blog entry page, and in trying to edit it and move text around I might have messed up some registration lines, or LINES. Could that have had an effect? I must say that of all the things involved in iWeb, this Blog feature has given me the most problems and made me the angriest. Just thinking about it right now has created a tight knot in my chest.
Lorna in Southern California

Go back to your main blog summary page in iWeb. Open
the Inspector to the RSS tab and slide the text
excert slider to show ALL (all the way to the right).
Does ANY of your blog text show up in this
particular entry?
.......... Lorna says ................................................
Well, Inspector Tseng, I toggled to the *Show All* position, and heheheh, none of the blog entry showed on the blog summary page.
If not, then perhaps you entered
your text in a different text box....did you add a
text box to the page? If it does, then maybe you
have some preceding spaces in the text box? Or
maybe you inserted a photo into the text box
inadvertently?
.......... Lorna says ................................................
James, last night I was having so many dang blasted flippin cockamamie problems with the picture that I moved a bunch of things around and recall making a new text box and typing into it. Grrrr.
I am going to return there and copy and paste and delete that page. I feel very bad that I cannot master the blog after so much stupid time. I also think that the blog needs to be more idiot proofed so that normally OK actions in other iWeb scenarios don't end up as yet another disaster on the ash heap of broken iWeb dreams.

Blog Summary Page: Pictures in blog entries are gone

All of my blog entries on the blog summary page no longer display images set inside the text of an entry. Is this an iWeb 2.0 bug or "feature"?
This is annoying, because with iWeb 1 I was able to share these pictures in my blog summary page and RSS feed. Now my blog and RSS readers have to click the "read more" link to see any pictures, even though I have set my blog summary length to the total entry.
This is a serious loss of feature for no good reason, and I hope this is considered a bug and will be fixed soon.

I was just getting ready to post a similar question when I ran across yours. I've been using Rapid Weaver for my blog and was thinking about switching over to iWeb, but until the pictures start showing up on the summary page (inside the text of an entry), iWeb is utterly non-functional for my purposes.
The other thing I noticed is that none of the formatting (like bold or italics text) shows up inside the text of an entry on the summary page either.
I, too, am very interested in whether this is a "bug" or a "feature."
