Blog entry without photo

Is there an easy way to add a blog entry without a photo? It defaults to the page with the photo. I deleted the photo, but then the text remains in the same place with a large blank space between the top of the page and the text. This seems cumbersome to add a simple text-only entry.

When I delete a photo from the entry page I would like the text at the "main blog page" to use the whole width of the entry. Instead is a big white hole where the photo should have been and the text is still formatted to the right or left of the empty photo holder. Any way to get around this?

How to publish blog entries without dates on Iweb?

Hi,I'm very new to Iweb and would appreciate some help.
Is there an option for me to post my blog entries without having to show the dates the blog entries are created on the site? I just want the titles to e shown but not the dates.. I deleted the dates on the template but after publishing, the dates still show..
Thanks

Have a look here to see if it will help you...

This is done with PostCard but its the same procedure.
You might also want to look at JAlbum...

Their "chameleon" template is very similar and allows you to create a link back to your site. Its freeware and they now offer you free server space too!
You don't have to use "Made on a Mac" (or any other stuff) - just delete it and add your own footer with your copyright information.

Adding Blog Entries Without iWeb

Is there anyway to post blog entries without using iWeb. I feel like I already know the answer to this, but I was hoping that there might be some way.

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.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)
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.

Photos in text of blog entry do not port to main blog page

I have posted before about the photos from my entry page disappearing when ported to my main blog page. I have yet to find a solution so I'm asking for help again.
I'm am trapped using iWeb 1.1 until I find a solution. I use the Modern Template with modifications. Usually I delete the snowboarding surfer placeholder. Please note I'm not concerned that this photo doesn't port. I don't want it to. I do however need the photos that I have embedded via text wrap within my blog entry to port to the main blog page. They do not.
I have tried keeping the snowboarder place holder and redoing entries with wrapped text, but my additional photos are still missing. I have checked the box in iWeb 2 that says show photos. My layouts conveted to iWeb 2 look perfect on the entry's page, and horrible with missing photos on the summary page.
This problem is beyond frustrating. My blog can be seen here, however it is still the iWeb 1.1 format.
http://web.mac.com/knittsings/iWeb/knittsings/knittsings/knittsings.html
As you can see, almost all my entries have numerous photos. I want them to display on the main blog page.
Am I missing something very basic? I have seen others with this same question but no one seems to have had any luck resolving this problem.
Thanks,
Kathryn

And that's the way it should be.

IWeb losing, and then corrupting photos in Blog entries

I have an odd problem, and really need some help!
I've been posting blog entries with pictures at the end of the text for many months now (over 150 entries), and only recently have run across this problem. After creating a new blog entry, I post the site, and after the site is published, will go to the site and see that the picture in the blog index is fine, but when anyone visits the page of that blog entry, the pictures at the end of the text are gone, and the picture at the start of the blog has a box with an X in it. When I go back into iWeb, the file will either be fine, or will have the X and all of my past posts will have it as well. When I try to re-drag the picture in, it is saying the picture is corrupt. Yet somehow, the next day on the web, the pictures magically appear and all seems fine (after trying to republish several times). This has happened for the past week or so, but seems to be worse as of late.
I don't know if this is because of occassional connection outages (which seem to happen fairly often) and pictures not completely loading, even though iWeb thinks they are, or if this is from problems on the .mac servers, or problems on my computer with iWeb. I've tried quitting and rebooting, which worked the first time or two that this happened, but no longer helps.
It's one thing if iWeb is not working correctly, but if this is now corrupting my photos in iPhoto, this is a serious defect! Apple, PLEASE make the next version more stable - we're I just getting started and seeing this, I would have dumped iWeb, but after 4 months and many many entries, it is not easy to move this to a TypePad or other site.

I'm having this same problem. Is this a known bug?
On my iWeb site, the pictures in my blog keeping getting "corrupted" and are unusable, and the only way I can get iWeb to accet them again is to export them from iPhoto, do a save-as, and re-import them into iPhoto.
Please tell me there is some sort of fix.

My iWeb's main blog page has photos of entries all mixed up

My site is egsilberman.com and all but the main blog page is functioning. The index.html looks perfect, the page listing all the blog pages using the index.html in the browser looks as it should.
But after uploading the site to my FTP - using iWeb SEO Tool - the main landing page of the blog has all the photos, except the most recent entry, mixed up. The blog entries are in order, listed according to date, but the photos associated with the entries - the key photos shown on the main blog page - are all goofed up: randomly placed throughout the entries.
Oddly, all the blog pages are functioning fine. It's just the main blog landing photos that're off.
On the iWeb side I've reloaded everything from scratch...trashed caches, plists, etc, but it doesn't seem to be the problem. Again, the index.html site and blog (main page) are all in order. I'm not an expert by any means, so the change in the blog is confounding me. It was working fine until earlier this week.
Is it the SEO uploader? My FTP/host? Something I could do to help? I do not know what to do. Any advice or direction would be appreciated.
Thanks for considering this question.
Evan

Roddy, thank you for many things.
Firstly, for your clear direction in encouraging me to upload my site AFTER SEO'ing it using a dedicated FTP. I used Cyberduck. Then, following the line of thinking that the index.html needed to be uploaded as well, I did that. Simple as it sounds it took a bit of courage on my part.
This got my blog summary page photos back in line with their individual entries.
Bigger still was seeing that the index.html file I uploaded made a /Site/ reference to the "Site" folder that's local on my desktop but not present in my server's folder. And seeing this in the browser address bar, I altered the text of the index.html by eliminating the /Site. Cyberduck offered ways to do this. I pushed save.
Cedric at http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWeb_Folder_FTP.html has a helpful step by step on using FTP and Cyberduck. I followed his instruction as I went.
As tiny as this is to those of you who know the workings of your sites, it, for me, is like looking under the hood of a car and being ABLE to fix it. Not something I normally do. Maybe it'll break down in a mile. But for now it's fixed, and humming along.
I'm looking now toward getting an optimization app. If I'm correct, and I follow your publishing workflow path, Roddy, http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Website-Publishing-Wo rkflow.html, I will, after optimizing, then upload again to my server - using the post-optimized folder as the final source of feeding the server. Then you list other steps - uploading new sitemaps to all the major search engines - I purchase Rage's Sitemap Automater - will use that for that.
There is a methodical flow to all this, and I will learn it and implement it. Leaving MobileMe and moving to FTP and FTP practices was a leap.
Thanks again for your help.

Drag multiple photos to create many blog entries at once?

I wanted to make many blog entries at once from some photos. This is trying to catch up with many entries at once, and make basically photo pages with one photo and more than just a caption (like you get with a photo page).
I did this by the usual method when I first tried iweb (try something, it works...). Then I noticed that it just assigned today's date to all the entries. I didn't want that, so I deleted all of them. Then I found out you could edit the dates...
Now, I want to recreate all those entries again, and I can't for the life of me repeat that initial 'try it, it works' of just making many blog entries all at the same time. I can't remember if it was a drag in, or what...
help!
Doesn't help that iweb goes to SBOD when I first open the media browser for 10 min...

Peter...
I have not tried this myself, so I'm not sure if this is what you did....but try this...
In iPhoto, select all the photos (Apple-click to select multiple photos) that you want to send to your blog pages. Then do you see the iWeb icon at the bottom of the iPhoto window there??? Click on it and select "publish to photoblog". See if this is what you were looking for...

Photos in Blog entries

Okay so the photos that I put into blog entries are default 400x300. If I try to put in a picture with different dimensions it cuts part of the picture off. Now if I delete the placeholder image and then insert the pic I want that works fine but then when I look at list of blog entries that does not show up I have to actually go into that blog entry to see it.
What can I do to either change the behavior that placeholder image uses to not cut images off that are bigger than 400x300 or make it so that once I delete that place holder the image I use shows up in the blog article list not just on that entries page.

I had this headache awhile back, and I put up this page that kinda describes what's going on. And, there's a workaround as well.
http://web.mac.com/makentosh/iWeb/tipsfromtheiceberg/Blog/54D7F1A1-8604-4723-838 B-C3C164BD5102.html
The problem is, the workaround means that there's empty space between the edges of your pic and the border. What you can try to do is fix up your so that dropping it in the placeholder makes it look good on the entries page, then go into the inspector and set that placeholder's image opacity to zero. Then, just drop in the image you want to display on the entry page.
This way, you get an image that you've customized specifically for the main page, plus you can still display the image as you want to on the entry page.

Photos on blogs entries

I've successfully created many blog entries. I always use the standard new blog entry and put a photo in it. Twice, I have gone back after publishing and changed the photo on the blog entry page. After I publish though, the main blog page never updates with the new photo. As a result, two of my entry pages out of about a total of 30 have a different photo then what appears on the main blog page. Is there a way to correct this?

The photo on a blog page is dropped into a placeholder. When you changed the photo you probably deleted it and dragged in a new one. By doing this you deleted the placeholder.
Go to another "correct" blog page, highlight the photo in the placeholder, copy it and paste it to the page you are trying to repair. Now you have a placeholder and can drag a new photo in to replace the one that's there.

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.

Post wiki/blog entries from iphone?

i gather from what i have read of the docs, that the default presentation of blogs and wikis on the iphone is read-only.
i'm wondering if i might be able to pick up a blog-editing tool (along the lines of ecto or something, but simpler and for the iphone) that would make it possible to make quick posts - i.e. to take a photo or video and post it to a blog from the iphone with a short caption.
i'm kind of surprised that apple chooses to feature "iphone support" on the page describing the snow leopard collaboration services, but that their idea of supporting the iphone is so limited - especially since when they introduced the iphone 3GS, they demo'd uploading videos to youtube.
anyone have any ideas? i see in the wikiserver documentation that the server is supposed to support the AtomPub and MetaWebLog API's, but then i don't see any mention of support for apple-snow-leopard-wiki-server (what is it actually called anyway?) in the documentation of any tools in the itunes store.
Blogwriter - bad reviews. no mention of supporing os x server wikis/blogs.
Wordpress - right idea, but afaik, this works only for wordpress blogs?
Blog with iBlogger! - by the folks who do ecto for the mac. looks vaguely promising, but does not list support for 10.6 server blogs and has mix of positive/negative reviews. also costs $10.
Blog Press - similar in scope to Blog with iBlogger!. $3. some bad reviews.

Is it possible to add a new blog entries from an iPhone ?
No, you can't do anything to an iWeb blog without using iWeb. Use something else for your blog.

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.

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 echoes blog entry but not the pic...?

My blog summary page echoes my blog entries' text but not the image file. I either get the stock photo that comes in the template, or no image at all. What's wrong?

Never mind folks...Once I submitted this, I found an identical query in the "More LIke This" box at the side of this page that gave me my answer. I have another question now that I'll pose in a new thread...

Blog summary missing photo problem - solution?

Has anyone figured out why iWeb 08 is not showing photos on the blog summary page (home or main page) despite having Show photos checked?
Photos show up on the entries pages but not the *blog summary* pages.

I figured it out -
At some point, when I first created a new blog entries page, apparently, I deleted the default entries photo (I think it was a snowboarder?). Well, you need to keep the photos from all the templates that have functionality. This entries photo is key to preserving the summary page images (apparently).
So to fix it, you have to create a new entries page then drag a photo onto the default template photo for an entry.
Caveat: I don't know if this action was the cause (I don't think so) or other changes I made around the same time but, now the images for the search entry, RSS Subscribe, and Go to Archive are missing. Ugh.
