Blogging on iWeb

iWeb lets me post multiple blogs on my site. Is there a way to make excerpts from more than one blog show up on a combined "blog main page"?

I don't think so...not automatically at least. It's probably not too big of a feat to reproduce the look, though.

    You haven't a problem. You simply did not read the iWeb Help :

  • Use iBog created blog with iWeb created web site?

    Just began playing around with iWeb, and so far, like it a lot. But I already have a published blog using iBlog. Can I import that existing blog? Do I just link to it?
    Thx,

    You can't import your iBlog created blog into iWeb, but you can create a link to it from one of your iWeb pages.

  • Why blog with iweb

    o.k. since i am new to this iweb thing and blogging with it i have a question. what is the benefit of blogging with iweb? i feel like there are so many downsides to it and i am paying for this service. I could be using another blog service for free or little money and have it not be this difficult. i just feel like i am so loimited and i feel like my blog does not even work on my friends computers who are PC users and run internet explorer.
    some things i am having challenges with:
    * putting HTML in my blog. (i know it can be done but i'm told if you modify the blogs HTML code then i can cripple my commenting system)
    * changing colors of certain text in my template
    *adding photos to my blog, they seem to need to be made small before i import them otherwise i will use up my space rather quickly.
    * (this is more of a question) can i install .png files into my blog or does it have to be a .jpg? i would like to insert files that do not have the white bkg and the only way i can do that is if it is a .png file.
    those are just some of my issues for now. am i right? are these legitimate issues wth using the blog with iweb? or am i just crazy ...LOL! :P
    if there are easy ways to fix these issues i would soooooo love some help as a new iweb user.
    Also another thought was could some of these issues be fixed with leopard when it comes out? does anyone have any idea?
    that's all i have for now. i will post again if i can thing of more questions.

    Hi Dena,
    As Old Toad mentioned, iWeb can be used for many kinds of web sites. The link he gave is a great place to get a sense of what can be created. Blogging is one of the components of iWeb and blogs can be easily created. Yet, iWeb might not meet the needs of everyone.
    If one does not want to spend time under the hood of iWeb, tweaking the html, trying to create things that iWeb does not automatically do which other blogging sites and software provides, then there are other services and software available that are designed specifically and exclusively for blogging. One does not need to get "under the hood" (though most of them allow it), If you like to tinker with the "innards" you will be able to tweak your iWeb blogging site or any other of the iWeb components to meet most of your needs.
    iWeb is good at what it does, in fact it is very good at what it does. It just might not meet the needs of everyone. It is still a work in progress that provides the non html, css coder, or professionally trained designer, the chance to get on the web without the previously required knowledge of html, css etc.

  • Scripting blogging in iWeb

    Hi!
    I am using iWeb '09 to update my website, hosted on MobileMe using a custom domain. I have been using Posterous for blogging, as I liked it's update via email feature quite a lot. Now I am planning to move from Posterous to an iWeb blog. The only thing stopping me is mobile posting. As my Mac is always on and connected to the Internet, I'd like to implement the same email posting feature Posterous has using AppleScript and Mail.app rules.
    Up until now I have been able to write a script that takes the needed info out of the message and parses it a bit. The thing I do not know is how to make a new blog entry in iWeb with AppleScript. Here's what I scripted:
    on performmailaction(theData)
    tell application "Mail"
    set theSelectedMessages to |SelectedMessages| of theData
    set theTitle to (subject of theSelectedMessages)
    set theEntry to (content of theSelectedMessages)
    try
    set theImage to every attachment of content of theSelectedMessages
    end try
    set mailbox of theSelectedMessages to mailbox "Completed rules"
    end tell
    end performmailaction
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "[blog]"
    set theReadyTitle to theTitle
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "#end"
    set theReadyEntry to first word of theEntry
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {""}

    I believe if you are able to use the script to update vie email when you open the blog with iWeb those additions will not be in iWeb and if you publish from iWeb it may wipe out what was added earlier.
    Why not just keep the Posterous blog since it does everything you want and embed it into one of your iWeb pages as in this example:Embed a Site Within an iWeb Page.
    That's what some of the serious blogger recommend. This way if, for some reason, you drop your MMe account or want to move to a 3rd party hosting server you won't lose all of your blog entries. They are stored on the MMe server and will be lost if you drop the account or move.
    Just some food for thought.

  • Blog using iweb

    I have created a blog using iweb. I also enabled add comments using the inspector. On a PC when you go to the web site and click on add a comment you get an error message saying they are having a problem processing your request. What can I do to let PC users post comments?

  • Date in a blog with iWeb 3.0.3

    iWeb 3.0.3, when I selected blog, no date appears over the title and when I publish on MobileMe, the following appears on the page: TypeError: 'undefined' is not a function with a clear button. I use a french OS X system. Any idea?

    Same problem here.

  • Moving wordpress blog to iWeb

    I am building a site right now with iWeb 09. Is it possible to import old content from a basic wordpress template to my new iWeb page? If so, are there instructions online about how to do so? I am having a difficult time finding anything. Thanks in advance.

    iWeb can't import anything. A wordpress blog is a lot more flexible than an iWeb blog. I would keep it and either link to it from iWeb or put it in an iframe on an iweb page.

  • Blog -- use iWeb or link to outside site?

    Have my webpage going (still working on it) -- want to add a blog but have heard that the iWeb blog can 'bog down' the speed of the page?
    is it best to use outside (ie: Wordpress, Blogger)-- if so, which one works best? (want to post pictures, occasional videos, music of mine, etc)
    any tips for streamlining this process with least amount of gliches?

    Liz ~ Yes, and you can lose blog entries and comments.

    As an alternative to setting up a basic hyperlink to your external blog, you can link to it from iWeb's navigation bar:
    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).

    Better to include the prefix so it's conveniently clickable:

  • Transfer Blogger blog to iWeb/MobileMe

    I want to move a blog from Blogger to iWeb and then publish it to MobileMe. The blog is currently published to my own domain and now I want to move the whole thing. How do I do that?

    Blogger has various features you cannot duplicate in iWeb's blog. I would recommend you keep it and either link to it from an iWeb site or use an iframe on an iWeb page to incorporate it.

  • Delete blog in iweb which acts as index to whole website

    Does anyone know if I can delete one of my blogs on my website which acts as the opening page of the site, in other words as the index?
    My files got corrupted, and although I've gone to .mac and downloaded the whole site, I can't make iWeb see the full set. I'm at the end of my tether and just feel my only option is to delete the blog itself and try to create a new one and somehow make it the index again.
    For reference the website is:
    http://www.parkroadict.co.uk
    Thanks for any help!

    Hi jbrown,
    The first My_Blog is actually a folder. The second My_Blog.html is the main blog page in that folder. All your blog entries will be put in the folder My_Blog.

  • Blog ordering - iWeb 09

    Here is another hope for iWeb 09. I often use Blogs to created automatic submenus within my site. It is great because it automatically creates the menu for me. The problem is the items are dated and ordered according to date. I need a more flexible way of creating submenus, it could be as simple as manually ordering the Blog menu items and not having the date show.
    Would this be useful for others?

    Please tell me how to set up the blog pages another way -- not by date. I like the blog layout, and use it for other subjects such as my book reviews, with each review a separate entry. I would like them to be ordered alphabetically by book title instead of by date posted. See my book reviews for example at:

    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • I used to publish a blog on iWeb.  Haven't blogged in a long time, but want to again.

    Haven't blogged in a long time, but want to again.  I am not super tech savvy, I just want to write.  Any suggestions for painless, post iWeb blogging?

    You can still use iWeb to create and maintain a blog if you don't want to allow comments by visitors.  Otherwise you'll need to use one of the established blogging sites.
    You could add a separate comments page with links to it on your blog pages. For that you can use DISQUS - Elevating the discussion or IntenseDebate comments enhance and encourage conversation on your blog or website.
    If you use an established blogging site it can be embedded into your iWeb page as shown in this demo page: Embed a Site Within an iWeb Page

  • Moving existing Blogger blog into iWeb site

    I have an existing web site and am recreating it using iWeb
    This includes a blog of some years which is created via Blogger.
    Can I import my blogger blog (or the code from it) into an iWeb page so that it has the same look and feel?
    I'd also wnat to ensure that whenever I publish changes to the iWeb site that it does not overwrite the Blogger Blog page - is this possible?

    Keith ~ iWeb doesn't have an import capability. And even if it did, I would recommend you stick with Blogger — that way you'll avoid recurring problems such as these:
    Changed theme on main blog page, lost all entries
    Lost two years of blog comments
    ...iWeb's blog is simply not a robust one — see the following thread started by a concerned person which has a satisfactory ending with a non-iWeb blog:
