Blog page gone blank

My blog page has gone blank - on iWeb and when opened in Firefox. I don't know when this happened as the entry pages are still ok. I added another blog and wondered if this had an impact? How can I get it back or recreate a new opening blog page without messing up all the entries? Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Some Blog Pages Are Blank

Some of my blog pages are blank. This typically happens with longer entries. The problem seems to be with the number of links on the page. When I add links and publish, the page is blank. When I remove some links, it is readable again.
For situations where the page is blank, if I double-click on the page, it seems to be selecting the "invisible" text. I can copy and paste it into Word and then it is visible.
I'm using the modern theme with no extra bells and whistles, just plain text.
Any suggestions?

How to I report problems? Does the "Provide iWeb Feedback" option under the iWeb menu actually work? Do they read that feedback or is there another place to go for reporting actual bugs in the program. I have a long list of concerns and issues:
http://web.mac.com/resourcesforlife/journal/writings/Entries/2007/8/19iWebReview.html
anything is better than nothing, I had my fare share of iweb ranting.
when you decide to report problems; include your link and this thread.
if apple sw engineers look at these posts (as much as they looked at my site -so closely- a year ago), perhaps they'll fix the problems.
until then, chin up and keep smiling

Blog page shows blank in iweb, but can see entries

blog page shows blank in iweb, but can see entries. I have search fro many help hints and currently I have deleted the Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist and restarted (done this a few times) and fixed permissions.
If there is no fix for this, then can someone tell me if I can create a new blog then add the old entries to a new blog ??

Alrighty... i might have found a way to make your blog page shown again.. it's a lot of work tho! Especially if u have had a lot in your entries...
I only have 20 or so entries... What i did was, changing the blog page theme to another theme that has similarities in the blog layout page.. and then switching it back to the theme that you have...
ex. My original theme is the Modern Frame.. I switch it to Water Color theme (check if your blog page is there..) then switch it back to your original theme.
It's not done yet! You have to edit your entries again, in order to get your web original look! i edited it per post! make sure you keep saving it after you edited a little bit of stuff, just to make sure you won't lose it AGAIN...
Once I'm done, i even save another copy of a domain file on my desktop.. you know, just in case..
Mac should fix this iweb problems.. Thank god i only have a few posts by now.. What about people who has hundreds of post...
iWeb should come in handy.. Not giving us more problems..

IWeb: Page now blank.

I just added a hyperlink to a blog entry. After I saved changes and published the site, my blog page is entirely blank. Help?

The blog page online or in iWeb? If the former clear your browser's cache (Command+Option+E for Safari) and relaoad the page.
If you're using iWeb 2 (08) you're publishing to a folder on your hard drive and uploading to the server with a 3rd party FTP client. Therefore, open the local verson of your website with Safari and see if the blog page is blank or not.

Making blank templates into my main Blog page (iWeb 1.1)

How do I make a blank template into the welcome page where all the blog entries will show up.
See I like the gazette template but I don't like the two collums on the blog page. I just want the one column on the page (I can delete the itims in one colum but it will still have that ugly stripe on the bakground). Well I can copy the things I want unto the blank template but how do I make that my welcome page so that when I make blog entries it will show up on that blank page?

Sorry I think I am confusing everybody. And not having all the names right etc. it is very confusing explaining what happens.
When you select Blog from a template. THat is what you will see when you visit somebodies site (if that is the only thing on there). We will call that the homepage. Well the Blog that I select (Gazette) has 3 colums. I only want 2. I don't want the colum all the way on the right side. I can delete all those entrie but it leaves a line there (that is the way that template works). But all my entries will show up with that line going through it.
Now I thought let's get the blank template and copy everything I need from the Blog template unto the blank template. It looks awesome. Except now I can't put blog entries into that blank template because it will make those entry in my blog template.
My question was if there is an easy way to make that blank template which looks like the blog template (with one less colum) my homepage which will include the new entries that I will make. Like somhow convert it to a blog template so it will have the arrow on the side which you can click and it will show you the entries and the archive.
But I think that link will work. I will get a blog template. Clean it and make it blank. And copy the content from the gazette template unto the clean blank blog template (that will include the blog entries). That is what I want.
So yes I think your link is the solution to my problem.

The App Store update page has gone blank on my ipad, any clue why or how to fix?

The App Store update page has gone blank on my ipad, any clue why or how to fix? Updated everything and synced. App Sore icon shows there are updates.

Until Apple resolves this problem, when you are in the App Store, if you have updates, try going to your "Purchased" Apps and you can update from there. Apps with updates will show "Update" next to them, just tap on "Update" and the update will be installed.

HT4686 How can I publish my website developed using iWeb and have all functions of the blog page work as it did with MobileMe?

I have developed a website using iWeb and it includes a blog page selected from stock pages in iWeb. I'm publishing it with GoDaddy and when I do that the interactive functions of the blog page don't work. (Adding comments and photos as well as searching). Is there any simple way to host this site somewhere so that those functions work?

No, because all those functions were MobileMe only and now that MobileMe has gone, they won't function any longer.
To enable these to function, you either need to add them yourself or change your blogging platform to something else such as WordPress etc., and create a link from iWeb to your WordPress blog or embed the blog page using iframe into your iWeb site.
Commenting systems such as Disqus or http://www.intensedebate.com work quite well.

Changed theme on main blog page, lost all entries

I am updating the site visually and was attempting to change the theme as I had done with other pages, but nothing was happening. Fortunately, I had done a save before going starting on this page. So, I noted that I had NO entries on my blog, so I reverted to saved version. My problem remains, I have a blank entry page. The main blog page is ok and shows my entries and the archive option, but when I try to actually go to an entry or make a new entry, nothing happens or IWeb will crash. Any suggestions appreciated. I can go back to last night's backup, but I will lose all my other page changes I worked on this morning which would be a bummer!

Problems with iWeb's blog are a recurring theme on these forums. An alternative to iWeb's blog is to hyperlink from your iWeb site to a free Posterous blog, perhaps via their Posterous Blog Widget — see here.
Or there's WordPress:

...which has many design themes to choose from — this one has tabs:

Has notification page gone down?

Has the notification page gone down?
After I've signed into DPS Dashboard and I go to notification page, and the page opens up blank. And I can see the alerts in the console as:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) https://notification.digitalpublishing.adobe.com/notification/styles/621d7cff.main.css
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) https://notification.digitalpublishing.adobe.com/notification/scripts/63b33874.scripts.js
Uncaught ReferenceError: angular is not defined index.html:171
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)
I tried signing in with another account, but it was the same result.

Could have been an intermittent issue, I don't see the blank page at the moment. Let us know if you still see the same result, perhaps clearing the browser caches might help or try another browser

When I search for an artist in itunes, the songs will pop up and then the page goes blank?

When I search for an artist in itunes, the songs pop up briefly, but once the page loads completely, the page goes blank.

I'm having the same difficulty. I'm running Windows Vista with iTunes 9.0.3.15. iTunes opens up just fine and I can get to the Store's homepage, but when I try and search for a song, the results just flash on the page for 2 seconds and then it's all gone....I'm left with one big, empty box. If I'm quick, sometimes I can click on a random song and I can hear the sample played, but then it's gone again while the song is playing.
Guess I won't be buying anything more from iTunes...
Tried to ask about this problem here: http://www.apple.com/ca/support/itunes/contact.html
I'll post any response I receive.
Maybe you can try contacting them too to see what they have to say?

Recreate a blog page to link with existing entries

My hard disk crashed a while ago, and although it was replaced under Applecare, some of my data was either corrupted at the time or subsequently and hasn’t copied back successfully. The problem I’m stuck with now is that I can’t get iWeb working again properly, and I need to find out if there’s a way to recreate a blog page that will link to the existing series of entries which show up ok in the edit entries area, just not on the lead blog page itself.
Here’s more detailed info:
I've copied the whole Site folder from my iDisk, but can't seem to force iWeb to read from it. I can find the Domain file in my user library, and tried removing it to make iWeb create a new one, which I hoped it would rebuild from the downloaded Site folder which I swapped in for the old one that appears to be corrupt.
However, iWeb is a stubborn little so-and-so, and I just can't get two key parts of the site I've built within it to now see their links. The main opening page of the website is a blog, and that is completely blank, even though the series of entries are present. The archive for this section is also blank. This is my biggest worry, as if I try to publish and the index page is blank then there's no way to navigate to the rest of the site.
The second part that's playing up is also a blog, called Soul Blog, and for this one the blog page is partially there, but missing the list of entries (you can see the header section and a few Google ads down the right hand side). Again the entries are present, although several are missing their media (I think that may be a few files that were lost in trying to reinstall my data onto the replacement hard drive when mine crashed). On this one the archive seems fine.
I've added here a series of screenshots to illustrate what I mean, and whereas with a normal page I could just rebuild it, I can't figure out how to make a blog page and tell it to access all of the existing entries the old one linked to. So if any of you have any idea on how to go about this I'd be eternally grateful! Here are the screenshots, and many thanks for any help.

iWeb doesn't have an integrated way of doing this (perhaps in iWeb 2.0?), so you'll have to do post-publishing editing. One approach is to use a Flash-based viewer...
SimpleViewer is a free, customizable Flash image viewing application:
http://www.airtightinteractive.com/simpleviewer/
Here's an example integrated into an iWeb site:
http://www.rowan-cottage.co.uk/Site/Events_Photos.html
And here's a tutorial on how to do it:
http://www.rowan-cottage.co.uk/Site/SimpleViewer.html
An alternative viewer is:
http://www.bananalbum.com/
Here's a thread discussing various alternatives:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4403028#4403028
Bear in mind that with such "viewers" you're not going to have complete flexibility on the placement of your thumbnails. For absolute control of thumbnail positioning and behaviour you would need, for example, a JavaScript script. Softpress' "Freeway Pro" web-design software incorporates a "Slave Show/Hide Image" JavaScript "Action":
http://www.softpress.com/actionfiles/Slave_Show_HideImage/
...but then you would be moving away from being a pure iWeb site.

Can I change the format of my "comments" box on my blog page

Hi there, I'm new to iWeb and have designed my first website. Great fun and I'm very excited about it but on my "blog" page I would like to get more information from the comment senders. Is there a way I can change the comment box format? For example I would like to change "Comment as" to "Your name", "URL" to "Your occupation" and add two more fill-in fields. Is that possible?
b.t.w. Is that html, java or php? sorry if I sound a bit ignorant, as mentioned I am new to this.
Thanks for any advice
Tony

As you know MobileMe will be discontinued by Apple on June 30, 2012. When MMe goes away so will your blog comments.
So if you want to continue your blogging you will have to create a blog on one of the existing blogging sites and copy and past your entries and comments into it.
However, Rage Software has created an application, iWeb to WordPress, which will convert your blog to a WordPress blog, complete with your entires and user comments.
You can then use either WordPress.org or WordPress.com to create your blog and host it on your new server.
This may be of some interest to you: Life After MobileMe.
Furthermore it is now confirmed that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.

This morning, Firefox stopped opening .pdf documents that I am trying to retrieve from websites. It does not download them, and the page goes blank, with nothing more happening. What do I do to fix it?

I went to the FAA website, and I needed to review a document. I clicked on the link, the page turned blank, but I never saw the document. I tried again, but I still could not get the document. Word documents still bring up the dialog box allowing me to open the document. I went to another website to find additional information on the project I am working on, and I am experiencing the same problem, when I click on a link to a pdf, it will not open, and the download dialog box does not open.
I have tried looking at applications and plugins, but everything seems to be fine. What do I do to fix this?
Thanks,
Anne
