Can I publish to blogger from iWeb?

I want to publish from iWeb but I don't want to pay for a website, and I'm only going to blog for a couple of months while I am on vacation. Any Thoughts?

No you can't.
Blogger is Google's blog and it is free, so sign into Google and you can create a blog for free directly there.
Your other alternative is to use http://www.wordpress.com. This is also a free blogging service and if you are on vacation, you will be able to update it from any terminal you can get to - a PC or a Mac and you can do this online. Once you don't need the blog anymore you can delete it from the WordPress servers and that's it. You don't need to pay for a website.
Don't use the iWeb blog as it is too restrictive to use whilst travelling - just use either Google's blogger or WordPress.com at source, with both being free.

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?
Thanks!

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.

How to publish a BOOK from iWeb blog

During 2011 I kept a Blog in iWeb on me.com when my little 7 year old daughter was suffering from liver cancer. the Blog was read and commented by many people. I have been her Living Donor for the liver, and so far she is a "survivor" with sparks in her eys that represent "life".
We have had a lot of support from people that are close to us and I want to thank them all by "publishing" a book from the blog. I kept it on my Macbook wich also still has iWeb on it. I a 'just a user' and not a freak, so I do not have a clue if this is possible to do or just Wishfull thinking. I presume you can never get back to me.com, so the ' web counter' as well as 'feed back' might have been lost, but I sure want to publish this blog in a book. It would be a great gift to thos who supported us and other people that go through this as well, as well as for my little girl Joy, so when she is older she knows what she has been going throug. Is there anyone that could support in the steps I need to undertake to get this done?

To give you an idea what is possible, I used Chrome on my iPad and printed a webpage as pdf to Google Drive with Google Cloudprinter.
This is the webpage :

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.

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.

How do I publish multiple websites from iweb?

Hi, I'm new with iweb and .mac in general and wanted to know about publishing multiple accounts from my iweb.
I bought a five-user edition of .mac last week and I wanted to get at least three different websites up and running. One site is almost 50% done and has uploaded just fine but when I tried to create another site in iweb, I have no idea where it's going. I created a second account in .mac and it shows up (I can log into and everything) but how can I publish to my brand new site without the other one going through each and every time?
This question may sound really dumb but please bear and mind that I'm a newbie with iweb and mac (I just got this powerbook in Sept. 2006).
Thanks in advance,
Dale

Actually, Dale, this is a pretty common question.
If you want the different sites to load to different .mac accounts (or different sub accounts), the easiest solution is probably to set up several different user accounts on your computer, one for each .mac sub account. In each of those accounts, set the appropriate .mac info in system preferences. Seems like I've heard of another approach, but this is probably the simplest.
Have you already started building a second site in the same user account (on your computer) as the first site? If so, we'll need to walk you through domain separation, too.
One other heads up: it is very important to back up your domain files (in your case in each account). The domain file is found in ~/library/Application Support/iWeb, where ~ refers to your home folder for your user account on the computer. Make sure to make a backup copy (preferably on an external hard drive or CD) after every major change in your website. Don't be lulled into thinking that a published website serves as a backup. It is not possible to import a published site back into iWeb. The domain file is your only link to creating/editing the site in iWeb.
Please post back if you have any questions or if I haven't been clear.

Publish Error whilst publishing to .Mac from iWeb

Hello.
I have suddenly started getting an error "Publish Error. An error occured whilst publishing file xxx" whilst trying to publish my website from within iWeb.
I have the latest version of iWeb (1.1.2). It used to work OK and I have made no recent changes other than to add a new photograph page. I have plenty of free space on .Mac.
I have tried the following:
- Publishing to Folder (this works fine)
- Deleting the offending file. I then get the error on another file.
- Deleting the domain file and the com.apple.iweb.plist files in ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb and ~/Library/Preferences. I then tried uploading a default site template and got the same error.
- Following the steps on http://karreth.com/iweb/22070571-B241-4C09-840B-288E0EC491F6.html. Same error.
- Creating a new user account and publishing a default iWeb template. Same error.
- Manually deleting all site and rss content from iDisk using Finder, then Publish All to .Mac. Same error.
So, it seems that the error is not related to my web content, nor is it related to my iWeb configuration files. I can connect to my iDisk using Finder without problems and browse the contents, so it is not an issue with .Mac either.
How can I fix this? The error message is useless and I can't find any more detail in the console logs.
Thanks,
Paul

I can't publish my site to iWeb

it is asking me to join mobile me but my account is already in iCloud. I published a few weeks back and had no problem at all.

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.

Can't publish my blog with iweb

I have a .mac account and prepared my first ever webpage, a blog and a photopage on the same site. Everything was more than easy, but then I couldn't publish it. The response says: Publisher Error : An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/Sites/iWeb/mylife/Blog”. I tried File/Publish All to .mac and got the same reply. I put it also to a folder (File/Publish to a folder) but I don't know what to do with it from there.
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, or what I could try, help!

I got it fixed, thanks to help from another post. I had created my own nav bar and the links were to .Mac not .Me. What finally fixed it for me was:
1. Publishing all to Mobile Me.
2. Fixing my links so they linked to the .me pages.
All comments work as expected.
If others are using a CNAME this would add a new dimension to the problem. My personal domain is simply Domain Forwarding so it seems to be O.K
What a mess!

I can't publish entire site on iWeb

I have tried to publish my entire site on Mobile Me: http://web.me.com/wwl2/Site Only the first page, the "Welcome" page, shows up even though it says that the full site is published. My URL immediately defaults to http://web.me.com/wwl2/http__web.me.com_wwl2Site/Welcome.html
What did I do wrong? Thanks!

Bonjour,
iWeb > View > Show Layout
An iWeb page has 4 parts (4 layers): the header , the navigation menu, the content, the footer.
You've moved the textbox "in the arizona heat" from the body_layer (content) into the nav_layer (menu) above the navigation menu. So you can't use the menu links.
Hold down cmd and moved this textbox under this image
!http://i22.servimg.com/u/f22/09/02/44/99/under10.jpg!
You've a second trouble: your text is a text image (http://web.me.com/wwl2/http__web.me.com_wwl2_Site/Welcome_files/shapeimage2.png) because you insert a text with web safe and non-web safe fonts. Use multiple text boxes, and one of them only for the text with web safe font.

Published website disappeared from iweb

I have a website that I have published to a file on my computer. The file is still on my desktop but the website is not longer appearing to edit when I open iWeb. Is there anyway to get it back into iWeb?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Did you reinstall the system before this problem started?
iWeb uses a folder/package titled domain.sites2 to keep all of the files used in the creation of a web site. It's default location is in your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder.
Search your hard drive for another file with the same name. Download and use Find Any File as it will search areas that Spotlight can't.
If you find another file double click on it to open it with iWeb and see if it contains your site. If not and you don't have a backup copy of that file you'll have to recreate the site from scratch. To help you Chapter 2.3 of the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the published files in the reconstruction of the site.

Can't publish my site from another country???

I've been trying to publish my site for 24 hours. I keep getting the same error message "Can’t access your iDisk. Try publishing again later." I am a UK user on holiday in Switzerland. Is it possible that the problem is related to the territory I am trying to send the information from?

No.
If you're using your own computer and haven't changed your iDisk (MobileMe) account info you should be able to upload from anywhere.
