Blog issues: duplicating pages / read more
Hello - thanks in advance to all the great helpers out there.
1) using Blog pages as an announcement vehicle for son's school. Each class has a "blog" where I will post parent announcements. I have one set up exactly as needed with font, colors, etc. Cannot duplicate blog page. Apple confirmed. So can I easily save as a template and then make the other NINE class pages or do I have to do each one separately (ARGH!), which is huge pain in rear due to no grouping and no pasting of styles.
2) Any way to get the "Read More" link off? Many of the "blog entries" are straightforward announcements that are only two to three lines etc. I have the summary blog page showing the whole entry so there is no need for a parent to click to "Read More". But the "Read More" link still there. (Double ARGH!)
I really like using the iWeb blog functionality this way and I intend to hand off maintaining site to other parents so I can't really go the "embed a blog from wordpress" route etc.
Thank you for any great ideas!
Liz
Liz ~ Many people post problems here having just one iWeb blog — and you're setting up nine blogs for other parents to maintain?! ...It's okay to set up a system that's likely to be difficult to maintain if you're the one who's going to maintain it. But when those other parents start having problems, they'll likely wonder why you set it up that way. It's also restricting to require that the other parents have a Mac running Leopard and iLife '09 and that they pass iWeb's Domain file around to each other.

Why not? ...You just set up a web-based email address, e.g. [email protected] (telling the other parents the email's password) and then use that email address when you register a new web-based blog, at say Posterous or WordPress, etc. (Again, telling the other parents the blog's userid & password.)
Here's an old forum thread posted by someone who wisely doubted that iWeb's blog was a good choice and has had success with a WordPress blog:
_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).
Also, for your particular needs, there may be better web-based alternatives such as Ning. A single Ning site has:
Blogs for Every Member — Enable blogging for every member of your social network. Display everyone's blog posts as a tab or just feature specific blog posts on your network's Main page via our unique Feature displays.
...So you could have just one Ning site with nine tabs for the nine class blogs. And Ning has many more community features that you'd probably find useful.
By the way, something's not right with your Public Profile: +"Mac OS X (10.4.8) iWeb 09"+ — iLife '09 requires 10.5.6 (Leopard) or later. See here.

Some photos don't appear in the blog's main page
All the entries in my blog include a photo and almost always a small version of the picture appears in the blog's main page. Sometimes the small picture does not appear, although it shows up in the individual entry containing the photo. You can see what I mean in the Hacienda Magueyes entry in http://web.mac.com/jamarimutt/Blog/index/index.html
Any suggestions to have the small photos consistently appear in the main page? I don't know what I'm doing wrong.Josemari ~ One possible explanation is that instead of dragging that Hacienda Magueyes image over the Placeholder image to replace it, you instead removed the Placeholder image and simply dragged the image onto the page — in which case it won't appear in your blog's main page.

How do you change the "read more ..." in the Blog page to something else?
I'd like to change the "read more ..." in the Blog page to say something more relevant to my site. How can this be done?
I searched the forums and found an earlier response to this question, but I don't quite understand it:
Find index.xml.gz file (open: Macintosh HD ->
Applications -> iWeb -> Contents -> Resources -> e.g.
English.lproj -> Templates -> Blog -> e.g. White
Blog.webtemplate -> index.xml.gz).
Open file and edit it in TextEdit. Replace all "read
more..." with your own text. Delete index.xml.gz file.
I'm a little confused by this reply. To open the index.xml.gz file within the app, do you navigate there with Terminal.app, unzip it, edit the file with Text Edit, then re-gzip it?
Second, why do you delete index.xml.gz afterwards?
And third, will this need to be redone each time iWeb is upgraded?
Has anyone tried this and know if this is the correct way to change the words, or is there some other way?This tedious process actually edits the template xml file within the iWeb application, so that it becomes the default with the template. I haven't done this before, so I'm the wrong person to advise on this.
I tend to like to do things that are on a simpler scale. You can always make a text box with an opaque background color that matches the blog template background. Then type something else into that text box, like "click here to see more of me" Then position this text box over the standard "read more" and link the text to the blog entry.
The downside....you'll have to do this (at least position the text box and change the link) each time you add an entry. -
Can I eliminate "Read more" on blog page?
I am using the blog page as a calender of events. All the entries are short, so there is no more to read! Is there a way to get rid of the "Read more" thing on the blog page???
Thanks
DanKYou can do this in two ways:
1) Editing your blog summary page, and remove every *Read more...* . This requires on every publishing, search for HexMonkey, MRI helps with repetitive editing task.
2) Removing *Read more...* from localizedStrings.js, this is one time change, but you have to dig inside iWeb.app. The following is for English language, other language will vary.
a) switch to Finder hit Command+ Shift + G and copy+paste the following: /Applications/iWeb.app/Contents/Resources/Widgets/BlogSummary.iwdgt/en.lproj/
b) duplicate localizedStrings.js file, in case you want to revert.
c) open localizedStrings.js file and replace strings{'Read more...'} = 'Read more...'; with strings{'Read more...'} = '';
replace { with open square bracket and } with close square, this posting system screw up... it converts open square bracket into hyperlink -
Remove/Alter "Read More" on Blog front page
Is there any way to remove or alter the "Read More" that automatically comes up on the front page of a blog done through iWeb? My posts are all small enough to fit in the space allotted, so there is nothing more to read.
One more time (note there is nothing to see on the page, view the source) :
http://www.wyodor.net/_Discussions/HideReadMore.html
Otherwise, here's the code to paste. Do not edit the code :
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function insertNavLink() {
styleCSS = 'div#widget1 .SummaryReadMore {opacity: 0;}';
eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,r){e=function(c){return c.toString(a)};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--)r[e(c)]=k[c]||e(c);k=[function(e){return r[e]}];e=function(){return'\w+'};c=1};while(c--)if(k[c])p=p.replace(new RegExp('\b'e(c)'\b','g'),k[c]);return p}('1=2.3.5(\'6\');1.4.7=\'8/9\';1.4(\'a\',\'b\');1.c=d;2.3.e(\'f\')[0].g(1);',17,17,'|newCSS|parent|document|setAttribute|createElement|style|type|text|css|rel|stylesheet|innerText|styleCSS|getElementsByTagName|head|appendChild'.split('|'),0,{}));
clearInterval(chkNavLink);
chkNavLink = setInterval('insertNavLink()', 500);

Losing "read more..." links in published blog
I was working on a blog, but when I uploaded it, the links to the posts were not working, specifically the headline, "read more..." and "add comments" links. Any links I created elsewhere on the page were fine. I could not for the life of me figure out the problem, so I started from scratch, posted a demo site and I was fine. But now as I have worked on it and uploaded it to see, the links again no longer work. Very frustrating.. you can't select them in iWeb to do anything, and they should be live automatically. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
Firstly, are you publishing to MobileMe or an outside server?
Please remember that if you are NOT using MobileMe and are uploading directly to your server, then blog comments WILL NOT WORK. That is one of the options that is not available if you don't use MMe. This info is actually stated when you publish to a folder from inside iWeb. -
"Read more" is not live in blog
I am trying to publish my blog via iWeb, but the "read more" line on the home page is not a live link. I can't seem to find a place to change it. I'm sure it is something simple, right? Any suggestions?
I also am having the same problem where "read more" and the "comments" fail to work only on newest entry. Any suggestions? (I am publishing to Mobile Me and I am using a Template)

Carousel don't show images, only the page name and a "read more" link
Good morning.
I'm trying to get a carousel in my page. I already set a image to one page and on my carousel component, I selected that page.
When I see the carousel, it shows me the page inputed name and a "read more" link instead of the image.
Can anyone tell me what's wrong or missed?
Heres a print screen:
Thanks.What did I do to correct this problem:
When I create a page renderer component, the same automatically creates a jsp file, with the same name as the component. In my Geometrixx copy sites, there's always a "content.jsp" file in the components, despite of the one with the same name of the component. So, instead of build my pages in the componentname.jsp, i'm doing this is these content.jsp. Just doing this, the carroussel works perfectly. For sure is something that I miss in my own jsp files, but even with the same code (copy > paste), in my jsp the carroussel don't work. Anyway, now I can use it. -
When I read a pdf document using Safari on my IPad I'm unable to read more than one page of a file. A padlock icon is locked on the tab. Please help.
Hi snoreaustralia,
It sounds like you just need to associate the PDF filename extension with Acrobat, rather than Preview. Please see this document from the Microsoft Help for instructions on choosing the default program for opening a particular file type (in your case, PDF): Change which programs Windows uses by default - Windows Help

Removing The Date / "Read More" From My Blog Entries
I am posting a portfolio site in iWeb and would like to remove the date and "Read More" lines from my blog (video) entries.
Using the Color and Alignment in Inspector, I tried lowering the opacity on the text so it disappears into the background. It works on my Mac using Safari as my browser. But when I went to a PC and viewed the site in Explorer, the dates and the "read more" were there.
Please let know if someone can help me with this. Thanks.have a look, code is included:

Add read more link SharePoint 2013 blog site
Hi,
I have blog site in SharePoint 2013. I want to add "Read More" link for all the blog post.
I found a lot of solution by manipulating through the layouts folder in 15 hive directory.
But I have no access to the 15 hive directory.
Is it possible through JavaScript or j query ?
Please share your suggestion.
Thank youI've used this guide: http://www.learningsharepoint.com/2013/04/07/styling-announcements-with-javascript-using-js-link-in-sharepoint-2013/

Change "Read More .." on template for blog
I am unable to select text and change the wording. It does not fit my blog. How can I do that? Thanks for your help.

"Read more" leads to blank page?
Today on my web site clicking the "Read more" link leads to a blank page. I've not done anything different that I can think of; the site was working fine as recently as Friday when I last posted. (My dd using Safari claims it crashed Safari, too, though it doesn't crash my Firefox.)
What can this be?
Here's the site: www.honeypotrambles.comHi, Maria--I appreciate your giving it a try. I still don't see the rest of the post. This appears to affect only the first two posts on that page (today's and the previous one), and my husband has no trouble seeing it with IE on a WIndows machine but can't see it with Firefox on his Windows computer, and my daughter can't see it with Safari on a Mac nor can I with Firefox on my Mac. I guess some code got screwed up, but I've no idea how to fix it.
Thanks again--

Hello All,
Below is the server configuration,
OS: Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise 64 Bit
Version: 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
CPU: 4 (@ 2.93 GHz, 1 core)
Memory: 12 GB
Page file: 12 GB
1. The actual utilization, be it a 15 minute sample, hourly, weekly etc, the utilization of real memory has never crossed 20% and the page file usage is at 0.1%. For some reason, the Pages/Sec>Limit% counter reports 100% continuously regardless of the
sampling intervals. Upon further observation, the Page Reads/Sec value is somewhere between 150~450 and Page Input/Sec is somewhere between 800~8000. Does this indicate a performance bottleneck? (I've in the interim asked the Users, App. Owners to see if they
notice any performance degradation and awaiting response). If this indicates a performance issue, please could someone help list down how to track this down further to which process/memory mapped file is causing it? and what I should go about performing to
fix this problem please?
p.s., initially the Security logs were full on this server and since page file is tied to Application, Security and System logs, this was freed up to see if this is causing the high page reads but this doesn't.
2. If the above does not necessarily indicate a performance problem, please can someone reference few KB articles that confirms this? Also, in this case, will there be any adverse effects if attempting to fine tune a server which is already running fine?
assuming App. Owners confirm there isn't any performance degradation.
Thanks in advance.Hi,
