Can we do multiple blog summary pages instead of "go to archive"??

Hello,
I have about 50 blog entries in my iWeb blog. I have 15 loading onto the first page. Any more really slows the front page loading times a lot. The only way to see the other blog entries is to click on "go to archive" which just shows a simple text list. Is there a way to have many summary pages of blog entries so a blog reader can click on "next page" and see them, much nicer than just seeing text titles in a list.
-Josh

I am having the same issue. 50 looks like the limit.
I have made a new podcast/blog page for newer work, leaving the old stuff up on the already existing pages. Maybe you can just retitle all your pages by year, and just keep adding new ones as necessary.
The other problem I have is, that iTunes only lists entries visible on the Home page. So if I choose to feature only the newest podcast, it will be the only one that is catalogued by iTunes for download in the iTunes store.
This forces me to list every episode on the main page, which looks crummy, and basically eliminates the need for an "Archive" altogether.
Why doesn't iTunes use the iWeb generated Archive for this, or am I missing something major here?

Multiple blog summary pages

I'm creating a new website for sharing news and photos for my family. I want to use the iWeb blog for my entries and plan to do some customization of my site through HTML snippits, iFrames, etc. I've been reading quite a bit on this forum and other useful sites on how to do more with iWeb, but I can't seem to find a solution for the following problem.
Let's say I allow 15 blog entries to be shown on my blog summary page yet over time I build a site with 50 or more entries. Then at least 35 will be on the archive page and that's alot to scroll through. I'd like to have the first 15 on blog summary page 1 then the next 15 on blog summary page 2, etc. Call it multiple archive pages if you will. But I want iWeb to keep track of the blog entries on those additional pages instead of me having to create new non-blog pages and copy and paste links to my entries.
Here's an example

Any way to do this with iWeb 09?
FYI, I know there are a lot of other blogging software and hosting sites out there, but I want to use iWeb 09 because I've already created one site in the past with iWeb so I'm familiar with it. I also have a Mobile Me account with a domain name through goDaddy, so I'm publishing my iWeb site to Mobile Me with password protection.
Appreciate the help.

first, iweb limits blog summary to display 50 entries, so you are kinda limited if you want to have a continuous blog over the years.
if you have less than 50 entries per year, you have to break your blog into the year and have a master archive page and link all archive blog(s) to it.
once you decide what to do, you can use iweb rss feed widget to display the archive as feed, but i don't recommend iweb rss feed widget because it depends on mme server, unreliable at best.
instead you can use yahoo's pipes: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/
yahoo pipes is reliable and flexible, you can build your own feed that you can merge other feeds into one or keep them separate, here is my example of merged feeds:
http://www.cyclosaurus.com/Home/CyclosaurusBlog/Entries/2009/7/25Not_iWebWidget.html
or you can tag blog entries by key words or categories, your users can narrow down the entries display with it, here my iweb blog tagging (click on any tagged word on the right side):
http://www.cyclosaurus.com/Home/CyclosaurusBlog/Archive.html
all code is linked to my examples. to do the above, you need to know yahoo pipes, ajax/javascript and iweb inner working parts.

Multiple Blog Summary Widgets on one page

Hello
I was wondering if anyone knew how to put multiple Blog Summary Widgets onto a single page? Basically having a single weblog page but hosting more than one blog on that page.
If you do a simple copy and paste, it will pick up the "feed" from the Entries already associated with the existing blog. I have also tried pasting multiple widgets onto a blank page without success - I just get a 1 pixel line.
What I have done with my site (http://www.kilayko.com) in the meantime is to create an iframe and then load the second blog there. The only potential downside is that surfers will stay in that frame.
Any takers for this one, or is it just a happy limitation of iWeb?

How to make the date disappear on the blog summary page?

Hi,
I have read thru the message on this forum and can't seem to figure out how to hide or make the date disappear on the blog summary page. I can do it on the blog entry pages by turning the color opacity to 0.
I have included my page here:http://www.quantumhealthcentre.com/www.quantumhealthcentre.com/Services/Services .html
Also, if anyone knows how to delete the archive page or inactivate it on my website, please let me know.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Peggy

Blog entry didn't show up on blog summary page. ¿Por qué?

RE: Blog
Last night I wrote a blog entry, but the first few sentences did NOT show up on the blog summary page. I previously had set the blog entry length to be short (toggled far to the left), but there is a difference between a short length and NO length at all.
Why do you suppose this happened?
INFORMATION: Prior to writing the blog entry I was having difficulty with the picture not showing up on the blog entry page, and in trying to edit it and move text around I might have messed up some registration lines, or LINES. Could that have had an effect? I must say that of all the things involved in iWeb, this Blog feature has given me the most problems and made me the angriest. Just thinking about it right now has created a tight knot in my chest.

Go back to your main blog summary page in iWeb. Open
the Inspector to the RSS tab and slide the text
excert slider to show ALL (all the way to the right).
Does ANY of your blog text show up in this
particular entry?
.......... Lorna says ................................................
Well, Inspector Tseng, I toggled to the *Show All* position, and heheheh, none of the blog entry showed on the blog summary page.
If not, then perhaps you entered
your text in a different text box....did you add a
text box to the page? If it does, then maybe you
have some preceding spaces in the text box? Or
maybe you inserted a photo into the text box
inadvertently?
.......... Lorna says ................................................
James, last night I was having so many dang blasted flippin cockamamie problems with the picture that I moved a bunch of things around and recall making a new text box and typing into it. Grrrr.
I am going to return there and copy and paste and delete that page. I feel very bad that I cannot master the blog after so much stupid time. I also think that the blog needs to be more idiot proofed so that normally OK actions in other iWeb scenarios don't end up as yet another disaster on the ash heap of broken iWeb dreams.

Blog Summary Page Does Not Update Picture

For some reason, when I create a new blog entry by duplicating the last one and adding new content, the Blog Summary page will not update the picture. I sometimes either have to create a new blank blog entry, or drag a different picture into the placeholder, followed by my original.
Is this happening to anyone else? I think I am going to finish out my year-long blog project with iWeb/MobileMe, then drop both! This is getting to frustrating.

Perhaps to this person:
_blog summary didn't show the pictures_.

A wise move — problems with iWeb's blog are a recurring theme on these forums: Lost all blog entries or all comments or unable to publish, etc. If you switch to a dedicated blogging platform you're likely to have a better experience. For a success story using a non-iWeb blog hosted on WordPress, see this old thread:

Blog Summary Page: Pictures in blog entries are gone

All of my blog entries on the blog summary page no longer display images set inside the text of an entry. Is this an iWeb 2.0 bug or "feature"?
This is annoying, because with iWeb 1 I was able to share these pictures in my blog summary page and RSS feed. Now my blog and RSS readers have to click the "read more" link to see any pictures, even though I have set my blog summary length to the total entry.
This is a serious loss of feature for no good reason, and I hope this is considered a bug and will be fixed soon.

I was just getting ready to post a similar question when I ran across yours. I've been using Rapid Weaver for my blog and was thinking about switching over to iWeb, but until the pictures start showing up on the summary page (inside the text of an entry), iWeb is utterly non-functional for my purposes.
The other thing I noticed is that none of the formatting (like bold or italics text) shows up inside the text of an entry on the summary page either.
I, too, am very interested in whether this is a "bug" or a "feature."

Blog summary page echoes blog entry but not the pic...?

My blog summary page echoes my blog entries' text but not the image file. I either get the stock photo that comes in the template, or no image at all. What's wrong?

Never mind folks...Once I submitted this, I found an identical query in the "More LIke This" box at the side of this page that gave me my answer. I have another question now that I'll pose in a new thread...

How can I print multiple photos per page? It was simple in earlier versions of iPhoto.

How can I print multiple photos per page? It was simple in earlier versions of iPhoto.

Do you want to print several different photos per page or multiples of the same photo?
If you want to print several different photos,select them all at once and press command-P for "Print". Pick the Custom Layout and adjust the photo size suitably.
If you want multiples of the same photo, duplicate the photo several times and select all copies at once, then press command-P.

Help! New Blog Summary Page titles are publishing in red!

Hi. All of a sudden, for no apparent reason, my new Blog titles, and the "Read more..." link on the cover/summary page, are publishing in red rather than black to the folder. The older ones still publish in black. It's doing it on two separate Blog pages. Does anyone know how to fix this? Please

Hi, thanks for your reply. I don't see anything signifying a default color in the hyperlink section of the inspector. The titles have always shown as black on the blog entry page in iweb, and in the blog summary page the titles and "Read more..." have always shown as red, with the rest of the text in the entry being black. And then all the text has always gone to black after publishing until now. As an experiment I changed the color of one of the titles to green, and it still published in red.

Can't select multiple objects in Pages 10 with "command+click".

I've always been able to "command+click" to select multiple objects in Pages. However, since I updated to Pages 10, this shortcut does not work. Any thoughts?

Apple is trying to make the iOS version and Mac versions match. Some incredibly stupid or lazy developers/designers took the iOS version as the standard and changed the OSX version to match. The stupidity in this is that iOS is not a good platform for work in the first place, it's incredibly cludgy to edit/write documents on the ipad, email maybe but editing real documents is a pain is the wazoo. The iPad is ok for watching videos, reading, browsing, but not for efficient work. Being able to select multiple items and work on them is a basic feature of most editors and has been for years. Microsoft Office for OSX is so much better that it will be difficult for Apple can catch up even if they wanted to. It's too bad for Apple makes prettier apps. And now MS Word for the iPad is available and free.

Can I create multiple blogs?

Hi All,
We want to use Blogs in a school setting and would like our students to be able to create a blog for each of their subjects (if required). Any ideas about a way to go about this? We are running SL Server.
Cheers,

Hi,
We have Blogs, Wikis and Cal installed and running. As it is, my students can create a single blog, eg Humanities which is all well and good, but I would like them to be able to create one for the classes that they have eg. Maths, English, History, Science and so on.
Anyone know how I can go about this?
Cheers,

Can I set Firefox to open a page link in the same window (not a new tab) so I can just go back to the page instead of having to close the window?

When I am on some pages, clicking on a article/picture link opens a new tab instead of continuing in the same window. By staying in the same window, I can back click on my mouse and continue on with other reading/links on the original page without manually having to move the mouse and click to close the tab. For example: on news pages, if I click on a financial article, a new tab opens with that linked article on the website's financial site. If I keep going back to the original page w/o closing tabs, I end up with too many tabs open.

yeah, instead of using multiple windows, you can use multiple tabs inside one window. That way, you can browse multiple websites at once without having to flick back and forth between multiple windows.
To open tabs of the websites you want to browse, just right-hand click on whatever website you want to visit (For example a site from your bookmarks or a site from a Google search result) and select 'open link in tab'.

Blog Summary Page Loses Formatting of Entries

Why does the main blog page dump any italic or bold formatting on the original entry page?? If I "Read More" and go to the original entry, all my italics show up fine... But the main page, from which I'd think most people will read my blog, is all without any formatting.
Any solutions, or simply a quirk of 1.0?
Quite annoying. Definitely one of the many "1.0" things I'm living with in iWeb right now.
multiple Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Yes, you can drag it right into the text area and then set the wrap for it in the text dialog box. You can even set how closely it wraps.
Another cool little thing I found while playing, it wraps around the object according to opacity! If you place an object so that part of it has below 50% opacity and part has above, only the part over 50% will have text wrap around it.
