Changed theme on main blog page, lost all entries

I am updating the site visually and was attempting to change the theme as I had done with other pages, but nothing was happening. Fortunately, I had done a save before going starting on this page. So, I noted that I had NO entries on my blog, so I reverted to saved version. My problem remains, I have a blank entry page. The main blog page is ok and shows my entries and the archive option, but when I try to actually go to an entry or make a new entry, nothing happens or IWeb will crash. Any suggestions appreciated. I can go back to last night's backup, but I will lose all my other page changes I worked on this morning which would be a bummer!

Problems with iWeb's blog are a recurring theme on these forums. An alternative to iWeb's blog is to hyperlink from your iWeb site to a free Posterous blog, perhaps via their Posterous Blog Widget — see here.
Or there's WordPress:

My iWeb's main blog page has photos of entries all mixed up

My site is egsilberman.com and all but the main blog page is functioning. The index.html looks perfect, the page listing all the blog pages using the index.html in the browser looks as it should.
But after uploading the site to my FTP - using iWeb SEO Tool - the main landing page of the blog has all the photos, except the most recent entry, mixed up. The blog entries are in order, listed according to date, but the photos associated with the entries - the key photos shown on the main blog page - are all goofed up: randomly placed throughout the entries.
Oddly, all the blog pages are functioning fine. It's just the main blog landing photos that're off.
On the iWeb side I've reloaded everything from scratch...trashed caches, plists, etc, but it doesn't seem to be the problem. Again, the index.html site and blog (main page) are all in order. I'm not an expert by any means, so the change in the blog is confounding me. It was working fine until earlier this week.
Is it the SEO uploader? My FTP/host? Something I could do to help? I do not know what to do. Any advice or direction would be appreciated.
Thanks for considering this question.

Roddy, thank you for many things.
Firstly, for your clear direction in encouraging me to upload my site AFTER SEO'ing it using a dedicated FTP. I used Cyberduck. Then, following the line of thinking that the index.html needed to be uploaded as well, I did that. Simple as it sounds it took a bit of courage on my part.
This got my blog summary page photos back in line with their individual entries.
Bigger still was seeing that the index.html file I uploaded made a /Site/ reference to the "Site" folder that's local on my desktop but not present in my server's folder. And seeing this in the browser address bar, I altered the text of the index.html by eliminating the /Site. Cyberduck offered ways to do this. I pushed save.
Cedric at http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWeb_Folder_FTP.html has a helpful step by step on using FTP and Cyberduck. I followed his instruction as I went.
As tiny as this is to those of you who know the workings of your sites, it, for me, is like looking under the hood of a car and being ABLE to fix it. Not something I normally do. Maybe it'll break down in a mile. But for now it's fixed, and humming along.
I'm looking now toward getting an optimization app. If I'm correct, and I follow your publishing workflow path, Roddy, http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Website-Publishing-Wo rkflow.html, I will, after optimizing, then upload again to my server - using the post-optimized folder as the final source of feeding the server. Then you list other steps - uploading new sitemaps to all the major search engines - I purchase Rage's Sitemap Automater - will use that for that.
There is a methodical flow to all this, and I will learn it and implement it. Leaving MobileMe and moving to FTP and FTP practices was a leap.
Thanks again for your help.

I don't know what happened. All of a sudden, my settings have been changed, my homepage, and EVERYTHING. No matter how many times I go in and change them again, the SAME pages open up when I start FireFox and I am constantly being asked if I want Yahoo as my start page and default search engine. I click the box 'do not ask me again' and it comes up EVERY TIME. I change things like I don't want history remembered, and when I reload FireFox again, it's back to the way it was BEFORE. EVERY SINGLE TIME. I don't know why this is happening, or how to fix it. What do I do??

I do not want to download another virus program.. I do not believe it is a virus. I am running the full version of Norton 360 and it is doing a daily scan. I have Windows 7, 64 bit OS.
This is very irritating !! If I wanted Yahoo I would ask for it !

My main blog page can't find its entry pages

When I make iWeb blog entry pages, the main blog page can't find them. It says "Error. The file cannot be found." (even if I just use the placeholder "Blue bird day" page without changing it!) I'm dragging my image onto the placeholder image on the (Modern) Blog entry page but the main Blog pag can't find it or even the placeholder image on an unmodified new blog entry page. I am publishing to a file and ftp-ing it up to my ISP but I get the "file cannot be found" message even on my own hard drive before uploading. What's wrong?
The blog page of my site is:
http://www.christopherrauschenberg.com/Site/Blog/Blog.html
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Well, not sure of a complete solution for you, but I have found a specific problem.
From the main blog page. . . the link it gives for New York is
http://www.christopherrauschenberg.com/Site/Blog/429B84A8-BD4B-4B30-8A66-017811D F742E.html
However, in checking the directory, looks like that is labeled instead as
http://www.christopherrauschenberg.com/Site/Blog/429B84A8-BD4B-4B30-_124C76.html
That would explain why it couldn't be found.
A little further checking or your root directory shows similar mismatches between various page index files and the folders containing data.
Have you published and uploaded portions at a time? Is ossible after changes we made that all changes were not published.
It might be best to clean out the FTP folder, republish your whole site from iWeb to a folder on your computer and re-FTP it to your site (making sure to enter correct url of your site on the publish screen as well).
(if you think I helped in any way, I'd appreciate it if you could mark my reply as either "solved" or "helpful" using the little buttons in the title bar of the reply. Manythanx! )
Good luck!

Photos in text of blog entry do not port to main blog page

I have posted before about the photos from my entry page disappearing when ported to my main blog page. I have yet to find a solution so I'm asking for help again.
I'm am trapped using iWeb 1.1 until I find a solution. I use the Modern Template with modifications. Usually I delete the snowboarding surfer placeholder. Please note I'm not concerned that this photo doesn't port. I don't want it to. I do however need the photos that I have embedded via text wrap within my blog entry to port to the main blog page. They do not.
I have tried keeping the snowboarder place holder and redoing entries with wrapped text, but my additional photos are still missing. I have checked the box in iWeb 2 that says show photos. My layouts conveted to iWeb 2 look perfect on the entry's page, and horrible with missing photos on the summary page.
This problem is beyond frustrating. My blog can be seen here, however it is still the iWeb 1.1 format.
http://web.mac.com/knittsings/iWeb/knittsings/knittsings/knittsings.html
As you can see, almost all my entries have numerous photos. I want them to display on the main blog page.
Am I missing something very basic? I have seen others with this same question but no one seems to have had any luck resolving this problem.
Thanks,
Kathryn

And that's the way it should be.
If you look at this page about navigation you'll see that the main navigation uses eternal links and the sub navigation internal ones....

Accidentel erase and fix of main blog page

2 things, I accidently erased the "Go to archive" link from my main blog page and I can't get it back, also on the main blog page it doesn't show all my entries only a few but if I look at the Archive or the entries page they are all there. Any Suggestions?

There are a few steps you need to go through to make this all work. There also may be a better solution.
1) DNS: You need to have 10.5 Server running DNS.
a) Under the Zones Tab: You must have a ZONE setup for your domain name... this must be fully qualified (ie. mydomain.com. - the trailing period is important).
b) You must have MACHINE records setup for both of your intended subdomains (ie. kids, parents). You'll want the IP address associated with each of these to match the public IP address that your domain host is pointing at.
c) Don't forget to SAVE (Restarting the service wouldn't hurt either).
2) Web: In the Sites pane you need two entries (one for each subdomain... a third if you would like to use the www.mydomain.com).
a) Under the "General" Tab: Each entry should be set to port 80 with IP Address set to "any". You can specify unique Web Folders at this stage, though you shouldn't have to if you're using the default Wiki/Blog service.
b) Under the Aliases Tab: Be sure that none of the Sites entries include "*" as an Web Server Alias. This will cause all traffic to be directed at that entry. Add the full subdomain address under Web Server Alias for each entry (ie. kids.mydomain.com).
c) Under the Aliases Tab: Add a rule to the URL Aliases and Redirects. Type: RedirectMatch Pattern: ^/$ Path: /groups/kids/ (or whatever the path to the kid's group is). Now any request for kids.mydomain.com/ will be rewritten kids.mydomain.com/groups/kids/ The RedirectMatch rule wouldn't be necessary if you later decide to abandon Apple's Wiki/Blog - you can simply change the Web Folder setting to point to whatever files you'd like to serve.
d) Be sure to click SAVE (Again, restarting the service wouldn't hurt either).

Help - main blog page completely empty?

Hello - I've been using this blog or 2 years and all of a sudden the main blog page is completely empty.
http://web.me.com/mikejdunlap/Site/BLOG/BLOG.html
I can navigate to individual pages (through idisk/mobile me), but the main blog page with entries is mysteriously gone?

I've tried republishing but still get the same white, empty page. Any help would be appreciated.

Font goes gray on main blog page...

My entries become a monotone color on the main blog page. Underlined font, doesn't get displayed as underlined on the main page. Anyone know how to fix this? Ideally I just want people to be able to read my blog on the main page without having to click "read more"--so I display the whole article length on the main page. Any tips on this and other subjects related to displaying your whole blog on the main page would help.

Really a bit lost now.
You've got me with the length slider, please tell me where I'm supposed to be looking, this would be helpful to me. But the reason I am a little lost is that you said you want the whole entry in your main blog page and complaining because you couldn't do it, now you say you can.
Also, I don't doubt you have seen websites with non linked text underlined, but that doesn't mean it is proper protocol.

I had to format my main computer and lost all of my itunes music

Recently, I had to re-format my main computer, I lost all of my iTunes music, most of it is on my iPad. How do I transfer this music from my iPad to my current iTunes. I really don't want to have to copy a couple of 1000 CDs again.

Once you have the tracks recovered, you might also consider iTunes March. There is a cost involved ($24.99/yr), and it isn't without it's ... shall we quirks? ... but it is a very convenient way to manage music tracks on iOS devices.

Maximum Number of Blog Entries on the Main Blog Page

I would like to increase the number of Blog entries on my Main Blog page beyond the limit of 50 allowed through the Inspector Panel in iWeb 09. Does anyone know a work-around to this limitation?
Thanks, -JAS

Try creating a new blog page that looks identical to the current blog you have. Then once you start a new blog on the new blog template you just created, simply make a button or text link to your other blog. If I'm not mistaken you can create as many blog templates as you wish.
Please let me know if I'm wrong.

After installing Firefox 4, Hotmail Page lost all it's formatting

After installing Firefox 4, my Hotmail "home" page lost all it's formatting. The Hotmail/Live logon screen is normal, but after logging on I see all the links and such in one long line down the left of the page. If I click on any of the links, like to go to my Inbox or Calendar, the resulting pages have the same problem. I've cleared cache and such and tried again, but same problem.
Everything works fine in Firefox 3.6 and I.E. 8.

When it comes to a security issue, shouldn't firefox work out the kinks before issuing an update rather than forcing other programs to adjust to firefox? This is a pretty arrogant opinion. WE are your customers and deserve better service than this!

Edge Animate file working on main blog page but not on the individual blog post in BC

I recently uploaded an edge animate file to my blog which is host on Business Catalyst (BC). The edge file works on the main blog page but not on the individual blog post. How can I solve this problem?
I did the following steps:
I added the required Adobe Edge scripts on my main blog template.
Create folder on the server called "edge_includes" and uploaded the 'edge.5.0.0.min' file.
Create folder on the server called "js" and uploaded the 'jquery-1.7.1.min' file.
Copy and pasted the div to the part of the blog post I wanted the file to appear (<div id="Stage" class="EDGE-13973370"></div>).
Uploaded the name of the js file to the root called 'World of Code_edge.'
Uploaded the images to the existing folder called 'images.'

I'm still unable to figure out the problem.
Here is the link to the blog: http://goo.gl/sPW62j (the post titled "Basic Computer Science is a Fundamental Skill in the 21st Century Society").
Here is the link to the individual post: http://goo.gl/jTSgZH
Also, I get mixed results on the main blog page. Sometimes the image (Edge Animate file) on the main page shows and other times it does not. However, the image never shows on the individual blog post.

HT4968 Changed my iCloud password and have lost all calendar entries, how do I get them back?

I changed my iCloud password while working on my PC desktop and now I have lost all my calendar entries on my iPad and iPhone apart from repeat appointment entered prior to the change to iCloud.
How do I get entries back?

If you backup your iPad, the entries may be in your backup but only the entries as of the date of the last backup will be in there. You can try restoring from a backup which will also restore everything in the backup onto the iPad. You can't just select the calandra entries to be restored.

I recently changed from MobileMe to Icloud and lost all of my Calendar events

hello all i recently changed from MobileMe to Icloud and have lost all of my Calendar events, is there a way to recover these events and if so HOW???
my work day is shot lol

At the top it does say All contacts, when I select that I only get my Exchange contacts. On the Groups page I have All Contacts, then Exchange and at the bottom All iCloud. If I select All icloud I only see one contact, mine?!
I do not see any list with my [email protected] My contacts were initially on MobileMe, when I got my iPhone 4 I transfered them to the phone so they were stored on both. I was synching with my me.com account and when I was on iCloud the contacts were nowhere to be found.
I just spoke to an Apple "genius", they told me I probably messed up the backup on outlook, my contacts are lost forever. Starting to wonder why I chose Mac, in this case I got done just like with Microsoft!!

Changed theme on main blog page, lost all entries
