Can my Domain Site use iWeb HTML ?

I want to get a domain name website. I would like to incorporate iWeb 08' as i design my site. Can i do this? is this possible?
how would i go about doing this? i heard with 08' you can get the html code of the site you've designed on iWeb.

If what you are wanting to do is use iWeb to create a site on another server, here are some tips:

Synchronizing 2 sites using iweb

Hello everyone,
I have already created a site using iweb & now need to create another one for another business of mine.
How do i synchronize it with Mobileme as i already have a personal domain listed?
Please Help!!!!
Thank You.

Here's how to have multiple sites in a single MMe account with one or more sites having a domain name.
A. All sites are in the same Domain.sites2 files
1 - only one site can use the CNAME method of domain name forwarding and it must the top site in the left hand pane of iWeb.
Click to view full size
2 - the other sites must use URL domain name forwarding which directs the domain name to the site's full MMe URL, http://web.me.com/MMe_Username/Site_Name, or, if there is no domain name, just MobileMe's full URL.
B. Each site is in its own Domain.sites2 file.
Again, only one site can use CNAME forwarding. This presents a problem since CNAME forwarding directs the domain name to the basic MMe account URL: http://web.me.com/MMe_Username/ which uses an index.html file in the root folder of the account, iDisk/Web/Sites. Each time a new site is published or an existing site uses the File->Publish Entire Site a new index.html file is created in that root directory, iDisk/Web/Sites folder, directing the browser to that particular site. This file is what the CNAME method uses to find the site it represents. Therefore some steps must be taken to assure that the index.html file in the MMe Accounts root directory always points to the correct site. This can be accomplished is three ways.
1 - don't use the CNAME method. Just use URL forwarding . This, IMO, is the simplest method as it doesn't requre any additional effort on the user once the domain name has been set up.
2 - use the following method suggested by Wyodor in this topic: Is it possible to have multiple sites when using ur Domain name?
In iWeb domainfile 1:
Create a dummy site : _dummy
with a blank page.
Create your working site : Whatever
Add pages
Publish both Sites to the same same location on the same server.
Your _dummy site is now the default Site.
Check.
In iWeb domainfile 2:
Create/Use your CurrentSite.
Move a page to the top of the Site and back. Publish the Site.
iWeb will create a new index.html file in the root of the server and from now on CurrentSite is the default site.
Check.
From now on, never move your Whatever Site to the top of the list in the iWeb sidebar and never change the page in the _dummy site.
Simply do not touch your _dummy ever again. And never forget that.
3 - use Ethmoid's suggested method in Using two sites - setting one up with separate domain? or republishing the entire site that uses CNAME forwarding. Just making a minor change and publishing the site changes does not create a new index.html file.
The entire site must be republsihing in order to get that new site.
Or keep a copy of the CNAME site's index.html file on your Mac and replace it manually in the iDisk/Web/Sites fodler when necessary.
NOTE: the CNAME method provides a shorter URL: http://www.Domain_Name.com/Site_Name/Page_Name. CNAME does not have masking.
The URL forwarding displays the full MMe URL:   http://web.me.com/MMe_Username/Domain_Name/Page_Name.   With domain name masking that will be shortened to:   http://www.Domain_Name.com for every page of your site.
However, with masking visitors will only be able to bookmark and enter at the first page of the site. If a page is refreshed the visitor is taken back to the first page. Also search engines will only be able to index the first page of the site.
Just a thought: since MobileMe will be discontinued next June 30, 2012, you might start looking for a new host to put your sites on. I'm familar with HostExcellence.com which has a couple of package specials which include free domain names. One for $8/mo with 3 free names and one for $4/mo with one free name.   There are others with similar offers. HE has excellent 24/7 ear-to-ear customer support.

Using iWeb HTML code with email autoresponder software

Hi, I'd like to be able to use iWeb html code with an email autoresponder package, however, the text in the resulting emails is unformatted and has no images. My chosen company,AWeber, haven't been able to solve this yet for me (I've tried all the major autoresponder companies with same result).
I've tried hosting my email page both to Mac.com and www but it makes no difference.
I've seen similar queries in this forum - has anyone cracked it yet?
Thanks

Not sure what you expect. Your URL is absolute and pointing to a local file resource. It's not a proper relative HTML link. Beyond that it's toatlly unclear how you actually plan to load your image and where they are hosted, so nobody can tell you anything. Either way, there is an obviously painful lack of understanding of even the most basic web techniques, so the best advise anyone would give you is to spend some time with a web search and actualyl learn some of that stuff...

Can a Domain.sites iWeb file be transferred into the new version of iWeb?

So I have my Domain.sites file from my old computer (Home, Library, Application Support, iWeb), but I can't get it to open on my new computer. I assume this is because it is a domain.sites file, and the new version requires domain.sites2? How can I get my old site to transfer to my new computer or convert the file, etc.?
I've looked over a lot of postings, but I can't figure out what I should do once I have the Domain.sites file, and I've put it in the same place on my new computer but I get the message: "Can't Open File."
Thanks for any help...

How best to handle multiple web sites using iWeb 08

I currently am using iWeb08. I am maintaining two websites; The church site resides on a Rogers server. I use Transmit as a FTP loader. The other site is an engineering society's website that is posted on Apple's server. I have an ME account just for the latter group. iWebsites is used to alternate between the two sites. The church group has a .ca web address.
Is it worth upgrading to iWeb 09? How does iWeb09 handle 2 websites? I wish I could publish both to the Mac account but have not figured out how. I must retain the rogers account for viewing the church site
Has anyone deleted iWebsites from OX10.5.6? How was it done? I know that backups are mandatory before attempting these changes.
Thanks,
Bill

In its current form, iWeb '09 doesn't handle publishing well at all!
I keep all my sites on separate domain files, each in their own folder. Any site is launched in iWeb by double clicking the domain file. I start each new site from a new, blank domain file.
I keep all my website folders in a folder in a second dock so that I can launch any site with two mouse clicks - faster than you can launch iWebsites!
You can publish as many sites as you want to one MobileMe account but you can only have domain name forwarded as Cname. Any more have to use masking with all its inherent problems.
I would be more inclined to dump MobileMe and publish both sites to a decent hosting company.
The new iWeb '09 FTP works for some. I have tested it with my server - Host Excellence - which doesn't force you to upload to a Public_html folder and this goes as planned.
Having said that, I still publish to a local folder as I optimize and upload my files using Web Site Maestro. Once you have published your site for the first time, this application will then use its Smart Handling feature to process the changed files only.
Unless all your viewers use Macs you have to optimize to get your pages to download in that browser that all the Fred Flintstones of the world use.

Can't visit site from iWeb

I have a website hosted by iPage. Previously I have had no problems using iWeb to publish to it. This week I hit a bunch of glitches which iPage has finally sorted out and I have successfully published changes to my site. However, now, when I try to visit the site directly from iWeb, it duplicates the name twice in the browser window and so the page is not found. If I go through google I can get there and the changes are there, so that's cool. iPage insists this is an iWeb issue and my settings are correct. Why is iWeb pointing me to a page where the the site name shows up twice in the browser window? This seems to me to be a simple settings issue somewhere. I have emptied the cache on Safari. any ideas?

Provide the URL of the website.
If the url is something like :
www.domainame.com/sitename/sitename/pagename.html
it means that the first sitename is part of the pathname in the iWeb settings. Not wrong if you want that, but wrong if you don't want it. iWeb publishes where you tell it to publish.
So go to the server to see what's really there. Then you know from firsthand experience, instead of what iPage tells you.

Publishing a particular Web site using iWeb when you have 2 iWeb projects

Hi ! I'm a new mac user. Working with iWeb is great. I have 2 web projects. How can I upload or publish 1 of the sites without both of them being uploaded ? Every time I have tried to upload on .Mac, both sites are being uploaded but I only want one of them (the smallest one) to be uploaded. Thanks for the help !

goony goo goo,
It can be done, but you need to jump through a few hoops to make it happen. Read through these notes on separate sites, held in individual Domain.sites files in iWeb.

TS3408 I have created a web site using iWeb. It has been running fine. I have made some changes to the site and it won't show the updates in Safari, but does show the changes in Firefox

I have created a website using iWeb. It has been running fine, with no problems at all.
I have recently made some changes and the updates don't show in Safari, but when I open Firefox, the changes are there. It doesn't show the updates in Chrome on my iphone either? Any suggestions?

You can also reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
*Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

How do I add a forum to me site using iweb 08?

I have all the sources such as i web 08, mobile me account and my own domain name website all set up and running fine. I would like to add a forum where people can add comments and pictures. How can I do this?

Michael ~ Neither Lefora or WordPress would be used with iFrame, i.e. iWeb's +HTML Snippet+ window. Instead you would simply hyperlink an image or text string to your Lefora URL. Setting up the hyperlink in iWeb to open in a new window would allow the viewer to easily return to your iWeb site.
WordPress is for creating blogs — not really for members to share ideas. For that, it would be better to use a Lefora forum or Backpack. I haven't used either so I can't say which is best.

Create and manage multiple web sites using iWeb and GoDaddy

Now that Mobile Me is going away and the other comments in this discussion relate to iwebsites were written several years ago, I am looking for new and up-to-date information.
I have been building and maintaining a website using my MobileMe account and porting it over to GoDaddy.
I need to re-write the site if for no other reason than it is getting cluttered and needs freshining.
I would also like to create some other seperate web sites with their own URL
1) Is iWeb capable of doing this?
2) All the information I have found on iWebsites is at least 3 years old and there does not seem to be updates to that software.
3) Are there other tools that will allow me to do this?
And finally, does the group have any words of wisdom for me.
Thanks Dunc

It is now generally acknowledged 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.
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 might be of some interest to you at this time: Life After MobileMe.
If you're running or planning on running Lion the following will be of some interest to you:
In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain. This applicaiton can be use with earlier versions of the OS to select and open multiple domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Desktop & Laptop: Published from Laptop, can't see site on iWeb Laptop

Can you all please help or clarify? I have a laptop and a desktop. I published my site from my laptop from iWeb. But, when I login to iWeb from my desktop, I can't see the site in the sidebar.
How do I correct this?
As a note, I used to have a personal domain on my desktop publishing to iWeb which I've removed, but the old site is all I see.
Thanks so much in advance!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you trying to visit the pubished site with the desktop or edit the site?
If you want to work on the site with your desktop computer you'll need to copy the Domain.sites2 file from the User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on the laptop to the same folder on the desktop. Then open iWeb on the desktop.
If you only want to visit the published site from the desktop you'll need to enter the URL for the site into the desktop's browser window. It would be http://web.me.com/NanaCarol/
If you plan on using both computers to edit and publish the site you'll need to have a way of moving that one Domain.sites2 file back and forth between the two computers. And always have a backup of it.

Started creating a web site using iWeb, signed up for MobileMe trial, now iWeb won't work?

So I started playing around with iWeb and created a web site for my portfolio. I then signed up for a trial of the MobileMe. After I went through the whole setup process for MobileMe...setting up on my iPod Touch, then on my iMac, then syncing all the apps...I back to iWeb to publish my web site to my newly created MobileMe account. Only iWeb was unresponsive. I tried to restart the application. I get as far as the welcome screen with the "Getting Started Video", but there is no iWeb window open behind that. I tried to restart my machine...nothing!
Now I have this MobileMe trial that is ticking away and I can't even use it. Please help, thanks.

Update. After a conversation with Marlon at Apple Support, we have it resolved. As soon as I mentioned that iWeb would launch properly on other profiles, we figured out that it has to be a preference problem. I should have known better, its one of the first things to check. But, I've been away from macs for a little bit, so I'm a little rusty in the troubleshooting dept.
To trash iWeb preferences:
1) Quit iWeb
2) Navigate to:
User Directory --> Library --> Preferences --> com.apple.iWeb.plist
3) Take this file and drag it to your desktop
4) Relaunch iWeb
5) If everything works as it should, you can take the preference file you dragged to your desktop and move it to the recycle bin.
Somewhere in the MobileMe registration and setup process the preferences for iWeb froze up. Trashing the iWeb preferences fixed the problem.
If I come across any issues posting site to MM or posting site updates to MM I will update this thread.
