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'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 my site on iweb?!!

Hi! I can't publish my site on iweb?!!
Report: "test failure, there's no connection with ftp.*********.com check our settings en try again."
Everything is filled in correctly.
(I used fillezilla to delete a file that was to big fot the site.)
What's the problem????

Here's some info about publishing...

Remember that your FTP user name and password are not necessarily the same as your hosting account login ones.

New iWeb User needs help regarding multiple sites

As a new user please excuse me if this has an obvious answer.
I have 4 web site, very simple, that I have used Frontpage with for years.
I want to make new websites with iWeb but I am worried I may screw something up.
I have already created one new iWeb Site and it comes up in the left hand pane as SITE 1.
I have used that for ages and use a seperate FTP program to publish to my independent Server with no problem. I usually publish to a folder first then use the FTP software to publish to the Server and its fine
The trouble I have now is probably becasue I don't know how to use iWeb properly but I'll try to explain.
I made another website and it creates SITE 2 in the left hand pane and I have produced a few pages for that site.
My problem is that when i go to publish to a folder for the 2nd site, it automatically does the first site as well ?
In most other programs (like Frontpage) you have to open the individual sites on their own so you can keep everything seperate but iWeb seems to put them all together.
I now have a folder (on my Apple) with SITE 1 and all its files and in another seperate folder (which I made just for SITE 2) have SITE 1 and SITE 2 and I'm scared to delete the copy of SITE 1 in case it deletes all of it !!
I wish there was a simple 'OPEN SITE' command in iWeb where you cna pick the opne you want to work on but it doesn't seem to be there.
If I am missing something obvious I'd be grateful of some advice becasue I really would like to get the other sites made up.

I'll try to make this simple!
Lets say that you have a website already and you named the site Family.
You decide you want to create another website for example, My Pets.
First create a 2 folders a place them where you will remember where they are.
One of the new folders will be called (Family) (of course both folders are empty at this time. The second folder you created you will name (MY PETS)Ok you with me so far?
Now lets suppose you have the iweb open to the (Family) website. Quit iweb...
Go to users/Library/Application Support/iweb. You will see a iweb icon that will say (Domain.Sites2. Drag the domain.sites2 to the (family) folder you just created. Now for your new site that you want to start. (MY PETS) OPEN iweb. You should now be prompted to choose a template. That's because you removed the domain.sites2 out and put it into another folder.
iweb thinks your are starting a new project and prompts you to choose a template as described earlier. Any pictures you add you should keep them in the separate folder in case you need edit or if you accidentally delete them. For example on the (my Pets site) any pictures you have there you will have in the same folder as the my pets folder you created. What I do is I make additional folders within the site folder I created so I can find things faster. Pets,I would have a pets folder and so on. Do the same for the other folder.(Family)
Now you created your new website (MY PETS) and you decide you want to go back and work on the (Family) website. Quit iweb. and then go to User/Library/Application Support/iweb... REMOVE the Domain.sites2 (MY PETS) and go to other folder(Family) and drag that Domain.site2 where you previously removed the other domain.sites2.. Open iweb and there it is.
Tip: When you place a Domain.sites2 into one of the folders you created it is always good to copy the domain.site2 and paste it into the same folder.When you copy and paste a Domain.sites2 the copy of it will say (Domain copy.sites2) This is a good practice to make because if you forget to close a iweb and drag a domain.sites2 out and replace it with another site. iweb will overwrite it when you save and quit. If that happens Just go the the copy you made and drag it to the: users/Library/Application Support/iweb.
once you drag it to iweb folder click on it once and press enter. You will see the text Domain Copy highlighted. Just delete the word (COPY) make sure it looks like this when your done... Domain.sites2
Open iweb and there it is.
Sorry about all the detail as this is a bad habit of mine, but I hope it helps.

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.

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.

iCloud does not support web hosting. You will have to find 3rd party hosting. This may be of some interest to you: Life After MobileMe. The following discusses iWeb after MMe is discontinued:

How can I publish my Blog?

I have created a Blog site with iWeb but I have no idea how to publish it. I've been told that I need to subscribe to a service (Rss?).
Couls someone please help me?
Thank you!
Martina, Rome, Italy

Martina, do you have a domain name, e.g. www.martina.com.
"If you don’t have a .Mac membership or if you want to store your site on a different Web server (such as one provided by your Internet service provider), you can use the Publish To A Folder command from the File menu. When you select this command, iWeb displays a Save dialog box to determine the folder in which the site is published (it defaults to the Sites folder in your home folder). Publishing to a folder is noticeably quicker than publishing to an iDisk (because the files are being created on your computer, not on a remote server). After the site is published, however, you need to use an FTP application to copy it to the remote server. Also, sites not published using .Mac have a less impressive (although still functional) slide show view for photo album pages".

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.

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 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.

Publishing Blogger blog to iWeb site

I just set up a blog at Blogger.com and I want to publish it on my website that's hosted on the .Mac server. Blogger.com asks for the settings like the FTP address, blog url, ftp path, blog filename, feed filename, FTP user name, and FTP password. I'm not sure what these settings are, and I haven't created a page or file for this Blogger.com blog yet. How do I do that? Do I use iWeb to do that? My website was created and published through iWeb '08 and uses my domain name of www.felacofamily.com. Thanks for your help!
Krista

Hi there Krista, hopefully this will help you some. I will list my settings for my domain "www.theblackhole.se" below. However, i do not use .Mac rather an external webhotel/host.
FTP server - ftp.theblackhole.se (the FTP servername my webhost gave my account)
Blog URL - http://www.theblackhole.se (your domain basically)
FTP Path - left it blank
Blog filename - blog.html (I am pretty sure this is what contols what your final URL will be for your Blog as my Blog URL ended up as being blog.theblackhole.se with these settings - just experiment)
Feed filename - atom.xml (i think this is generated automatically, otherwise just enter what mine says)
FTP username - In my case this is whatever i use to log in at my webhost controlpanel, my username that is.
FTP password - see above.
Perhaps you should contact Apple regarding this, or switch to another host then .Mac
Good luck, let us know how it turned out!

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

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.

Can't publish my blog, new iWeb user.
