Can i publish on another's iweb site?

my wife has a web site and will be out of the country for a few weeks and i need to up date it for her
can i edit her site from my computer?

Do you both work off the same computer or from your own computers? If it's off the same computer then just log into her account and run iWeb from there.
If it's from separate computers you and either user her computer or copy the Domain.sites2 file that is in her your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to your computer.
Next, create a new user account on your computer and put her domain.sites2 file in the Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder for that account. Then go to the System/MobileMe preference pane for that account and log into her MobileMe account. Now you an log into that second account on your Mac, launch iWeb and update her site.
To make switching accounts more convenient go to the System/Accounts preference pane and setup Fast User Switching.

Remember when you wife returns you will need to copy the domain.sites2 file you've been using for her back to her computer and replace the old one in her Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder.

How can I publish to my non-iWeb site

I want to use iPhoto but not iWeb.
It doesn't give me an option to publish any other way.
Can someone help?

You need to use File->Publish to Folder... which will create your site in a folder on your Mac. Then you need to upload the contents of that folder to your website using an FTP client.

Can't publish my blog, new iWeb user.

I created a blog for a trip to Europe but I can't publish it. I selected publish a the bottom of the page and I get the option to open a mobile me account or not. If I select mobile me I'm moved to a new screen that says Apple is no longer offering mobile me. If I select no the screen goes away and I'm back at my Blog page. But I'm not published and there doesn't seem to be another way.
Any suggestions??
I'm using a mac book pro that I purchased in February this year. This is also my first MAC, so I'm still learning the system.

Apple will discontinue MobileMe on June 30, 2012, and is not accepting new accounts. Since iWeb's blog relies on the MMe server for comments by blog visitors I suggest you use a 3rd party blogging site and create your blog there. You can embed your 3rd party blog into one of your iWeb site pages as shown in this demo: Embed a Site Within an iWeb Page.
When you have your site designed and ready for publication you will need to get a 3rd party hosting site to host your site. This following will be of interest to you in that regard: Life After MobileMe.
Also you should be aware of the following:
It is now known 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.

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.

Can I Set Up a 2nd iWeb Site?

Hi,
I was wondering if you are able to set up a 2nd iWeb Site. My Daughter has a site but I'd like to set one up too for myself. Any help would be great!
Thanks in Advance,
XMTitan

Hi,
if you and your daughter have different accounts on the computer there is no problem in having two sites. Your site will show up on iWeb in your user account and her site will show up on iWeb in her user account. If you want to make a site which is independent from your daughter's site and don't have different user accounts on your computer you just have to have two different Domain files (where iWeb stores its files User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2 ).
If you don't want to have a completely independent site and don't have different user accounts on your computer open iWeb go to File=>New Site
Site=>Index where people choose which site they want to visit your daughter's or yours
Site1=>Your daughter's
Site2=>Yours
you then can publish to the same .Mac account or host.
The only problem that could happen is with publishing two independent sites to the same .Mac account. One site will overwrite (thus delete) the other. That problem is not happening with using two different .Mac accounts or by publishing to two different hosts.
Regards,
Cédric
Oops... Roddy answered faster... Well other information...

Can't publish larger files in iWeb 09

Hi
Have recently updated my iWeb to 09 and had accidentally deleted my old Domaion file so had to rebuild site from scratch. Anyway, since I have, it gets stuck on pages that have any larger files on them (movie and audio files) despite having plenty of space in my MobileMe account. I get "Try again later" message.
Have managed to publish successfully to a local folder which I then tried copying with index to 'Sites' on my iDisk but that that too presents a problem saying "The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "" could not be read or written. (Error code -36)
I'm baffled! All I want to do is publish my site without any hassle, the files aren't that big only about 40 MB each. Can anyone suggest anything? Have had a look at iwebfaq and on here and have tried a few things but nothing seems to help so far. Any suggestions would be very gratefully received! Thanks!

That error code is -36 ioErr I/O error. Can you publish a different site? Crate a small test site and see if it will go thru. If not then it's not just your primary site.
If you expect to revise the site occasionally or want your visitors not to have to wait for those large files to load while the host page loads you might look at these ways to add a movie or audio file.
Movie: QT Movies and Opening Item in New, Specially Sized Window. The code used is shown.
Audio: Flash Audio Players - 3 different types of flash audio players. The code used is shown.
These methods require loading the movie or audio files only once and do not load on the pages until they are played.

Need to update another users iweb site

I wan't to take over updating duties on another user's iweb site. They can't handle it so they'd like to defer to me. Is there a way to do this?

You will need to obtain their Domain.sites2 file from their computer. It will be located in their User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. Copy it to your Desktop, rename it to represent the site name, "Site_Name.sites2", and place in your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. Then drag that iWeb folder into the left hand pane of any Finder window so you can easily access the contents of that folder and select the site you want to work on.

Personal Domain - Can I get rid of my iWeb site's name in the URL?

Hey everyone,
I just set up my iWeb site (called "This is Out of Context") to point to a personal domain name (www.thisisoutofcontext.com). Problem is, now my homepage URL reads: http://www.thisisoutofcontext.com/THISIS_OUT_OFCONTEXT/HOME.html
Is there any way to "get rid" of the second "THISIS_OUT_OFCONTEXT" so that my URL simply reads: http://www.thisisoutofcontext.com/HOME.html ? You know...short 'n sweet...like a "normal" website?
Any thoughts or tips would be much appreciated (please go easy on me, I'm a total newbie here...)
Cheers!

How can I change a hyperlink in iweb site?

In my iweb site I have a hyperlink to an external page. I now want to change that link, and have it link to one of my internal pages. I changed the link in iweb, republished the files, uploaded them to my host site, but the link still goes to the original external page. How can I fix this?

Select the text or item that is the hyperlink and bring up the Inspector/Link/Hyperlink pane:
Select One of My Pages from the Link To: menu and select the page you want to link to.

Can you put Keywords in your iWeb site?

I'd like to add some keywords to my iWeb site so that search engines can find me faster. I have looked this up in Apple help and a search for keywords and meta tags comes up with nothing. How can I put some keywords in?

Can you publish a page to different site?

Is there a way to publish a page to different sites? For example, if I want to write a policy page that applies to all team sites, is there a way to publish this page to all team sites? I don't want to link to the page.
I tried Content Search Rollup and it just show the link to the page, I want the content of the page to be there.
Thank you,
Kirk

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to publish a policy page to all the team sites and it displays the content of the policy page in the team sites.
You can insert the Page Viewer Web Part into the a new page in all the team sites and type the URL of the policy page.

Can I have someone optimize my iWeb site and then re-import it?

I hired someone to optimize my iWeb site put the keywords in the Title, Meta and
place the keywords in the ALT-tags for the images.
Is it possible to re-import the edited website back into iWeb 08. I've tried dragging it, but it didn't work, I've tried creating a new site but only have the option of themes. Am I missing something that somebody knows about? I really appreciate some input,
Also, do you know if there is a better way to optimize these sites inside of iWeb or a separate software program I should use?

How can I public more than one iWeb site ?

Dear iLife users, I have a website http://www.inmokvc.com created with iWeb a couple of years ago and still online, now I would like to bring online a second website also created with iWeb but can't bring it online: I have a new domain name for my second site but how can I get 2 diferent sites online at the same time ?

can't bring it online:
What is happening exactly?
I have a new domain name for my second site but how can I get 2 diferent sites online at the same time ?
You just publish your second site to MobileMe and use url forwarding to point your second domain name to your second site. It is exactly the same thing you did with your first site, the only change is that the url you forward to is different, i.e http://web.mac.com/konstantijnvc/secondsitename

How can I publish my website from iWeb?

I have created a Website on iWeb - but did not realize that I would not be able to publish via MobileMe. I cannot publish on a local folder. How can I get my site online?

You will need to find a 3rd party webhost for your website, I have been using IX Webhosting for several years now with little to no problems "usually the problem was something I did" and they have been quick to solve any issue I have come across.

Can Statcounter be embeded in an iweb site?

Hey guys...on the old site I had the designer connected the free statcounter: http://www.statcounter.com/
Does anyone know if this is possible with iweb, and if so, how to do it???
Thanks!

1. Publish your site via iWeb
2. Find your html files.
Go to iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/Sitename/Pagename.html
(If you publish to a folder, look in the folder you selected or try looking in your Sites folder of your home folder. )
There are two ways to handle accessing your iDisk.
Method 1:
Turn on local copy of your iDisk in System Prefs, with or without automatic syncing.
If you publish your site via iWeb, now the updated pages exist online but the old pages are on your local iDisk. You need to sync (automatically or manually) to get the new pages on your local iDisk (on your computer).
Then you can open the updated files, make your html changes in Text Edit or whatever program, and SYNC AGAIN (automatically or manually) to update the online version of the site to match what you have just changed on your local iDisk
Method 2:
Mount the iDisk when needed via the "Go" menu in Finder. This is the ONLINE VERSION of your iDisk, not a local copy. When you publish your site via iWeb, the changes INSTANTLY appear on the iDisk on your desktop. If you make html edits or other changes, they appear INSTANTLY online.
I recommend Method 2 - much easier!!!
3. Make the html changes.
You can open the html files generated by iWeb in any text or html editor. In TextEdit, to view the code in an HTML file, choose File > Open and select "Ignore rich text commands." Then locate the .html file (as described in step 2) and click Open.
On each page you want to include the counter, find
</body>
Replace it with
<statcounter code blah blah blah></body>
4. Remember, if you make a change to a page like this post-publishing, and later re-publish, you have to make the html changes again! Set up a Find/Replace command in MassReplaceIt and you can do this very quickly. You can save your queries so you can make all of your changes with one click the next time you save.

PS - if you have blog or podcast entries, making a post-publish edit will make your commenting stop working. Check this out for an alternative method:
