  • Published pages layout changes from iWeb page design why ?

    In a couple of pages the layout changes from iweb design to published site, text appears out of place and headers mixed with body text ?
    I have gone back to iweb but all is Ok within the file and pages visually, just publishing the site makes text changes to what viewers see

    Thanks to Dale and Nigel at Bristol store who resolved this matter in a One to One session. Corrupt HMTL coding. All sorted now.

  • Can I change all iWeb page dimensions at one time?

    I have website will about 50 pages.  I am now finding out on some browers that the top menu bar is wrapping.  I think I can fix the problem by increasing the width 10 pixels or so.  Is there a way to do this universally or do I have to change each page individually?

    You have to do each page individually.
    FWIW it is now confirmed 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 and our websites and galleries will be lost. 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.

  • IWeb pages Do Not Correctly Display In W3C's Browser/Editor - Amaya 9.54

    Earlier I posted that lastest version of Firefox would not display iWeb pages correctly. However, iWeb pages have never displayed correctly in the W3C's browser/editor Amaya. I just tried the Amaya upgrade (9.54) and the iWeb pages still don't display correctly NOR do any of my links work!? Everything displays correctly in Safari (and now Firefox?!)
    Here's my iWeb page:
    http://usablemakeover.com/publicopenspacedesign101/Blog/Blog.html
    To download and check with Amaya:
    http://www.w3.org/Amaya/

    The issue isn't whether or not users use Amaya for web browsing - the issue is: does iWeb produce valid HTML and CSS!
    Since Amaya is produced by the W3C - who establishes the standards for valid HTML and CSS (yes/no?) - anyone using iWeb to produce content - expects iWeb to produce valid pages. Or is there a problem with Amaya?
    Here's how to check for valid HTML and CSS. Just paste my URL (or your own iWeb page URLs):
    http://usablemakeover.com/publicopenspacedesign101/Blog/Blog.html
    into: http://validator.w3.org/
    and http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
    You will likely be surprised with the results.

  • Home Page URL without "/index.html"

    Is there a way to change the Home Page URL of a MUSE website so that "/index.html" does not appear after the .com?
    I'm concerned that Google will interpret our home page as a duplicate page.
    Thanks for your help in advance!

    In terms of getting friendly URLs, there are many server side ways to do this. Most servers on the web are Apache, and, if you feel brave, you can read up on .htaccess files to do redirects to more friendly URLs. They are complicated, and not for the coding faint of heart, so be careful. Note, though, that URLs created by Muse cannot take advantage of these friendly URLs automatically, and links would need to be manually pointed to the right place through the hyperlinks drop down.
    However, let's talk about the root fear here: SEO. Having index.html on the links is not known to have any negative impact on your site's SEO. There is no official source from either Google or Microsoft on the topic that states anything solid on the topic. Both do have information regarding duplicate content, and Google comes the closest to actually making a comment by stating that links should be consistent. When using Muse's page linking functionality, we will output all links to be consistent everywhere in your site, and as such, will comply with Google's SEO guidelines in this regard.
    In regards to duplicate content, the filename index.html is a special filename for websites and webservers and is the default page name on most servers. Servers with server-side languages and with other configurations like the one I mentioned above can have different names, but this is the most common by far. Without extra configuration, your server will serve both index.html and / as the same page regardless of wether or not it is a Muse site. Google and Bing, in our experience, are smart enough to merge the two files without any trouble, but the proof is in the pudding, as they say. There is a simple test you can use to check and make sure they are doing the proper thing. If you would like to verify that there are not duplicate results in the search, simply go to Google or Bing and search for "site:http://www.mydomain.com Home" without quotes. Just replace your domain name in there, and search for your homepage title, and you should see your homepage listed. In every Muse site I checked (just pulling ones at random form the site of the day) there was only 1 listing for the homepage, indicating there was no confusion by the search engines. If you'd like to clarify or check things further, you can always use Google's WebMaster Tools to take additional actions in informing Google about your site.
    We care about the SEO of your sites and do our best to ensure that things we can do automatically, we try and cover for you. We are always making improvements in every area of our code, and this is one area in particular we know you all are passionate about. Unfortunately, the area of SEO has a lot of misinformation, misunderstandings, and unknowns that spread very quickly and will get adopted without a real understanding. In addition to doing our best to comply to good SEO practices, we also do our best to make sure we're not filling your sites with false remedies and cheap tricks that don't quite work. When we look at new features, we think about their impact on your sites, on SEO, and on what we can do to improve both your and your website visitor's experience. For example, when we added mobile and tablet layouts, we also added canonical and alternate meta tags to your pages so that search engines knew about the duplicate content, and also knew where and when to redirect users. And as new things come out, we'll continue to do our best to have the same amount of due diligence in ensuring you rank as high as possible for your searches. And we'll continue to examine areas where we could use improvement, and do our best to make them whenever we can.
    Hopefully that clears things up a bit.

  • How do I change a page url in iWeb

    Hi guys,
    I used to have subwebs in iWeb to order different pages.  Now I'm publishing via Fetch to a new hoster, I find that some of the pages have retained the old sub web url, e.g. www.mydomain.com/subweb/page.
    I physically dragged all the pages into the top level mydomain.com folder in iweb, but I'm suspecting that becuase i can't now publish to mobileme, its not changing the url; certainly all the pages are showing red in the iweb (08) directory.
    Is there anyway I can edit the page url to remove the subweb address.  If I do it physically in Safari, the link then works, but that s a pain.
    Thanks
    Al

    I think you may mean sub site and folder name. A sub domain is a different thing and has a URL something like ...
    http://sub-domain-name.domain-name.com
    Whereas you probably have ....
    http://www.domain-name/site-name/page-name.html
    See this page for how to remove the folder name...

  • Change URL for accessing iWeb pages

    Hi,
    I'm publishing to a folder and my site is being hosted on a Godaddy account.
    The problem I am having, is that I do not like the long URLs that each of my iWeb pages has. For example if I want to forward a link, it's something like "www.domain.com/SITENAME/PAGENAME/FILE." I'd much rather have something cleaner like "www.domain.com/blog" or "blog.domain.com" to forward as a link.
    I've been searching around for an answer and found info on Domain Forwarding, Domain Masking, CNames and subdomains. But none of this has fixed the issue. I thought domain forwarding/masking would, but when I entered the info in to GoDaddy my site still had the long URLs when I navigated to it.
    Is there anyway to either hide those long URLs or edit the site to shorten the names of the pages? If someone could put up a clear roadmap, step by step, of how to fix this issue that would be great.

    I believe GoDaddy offers CNAM forwarding and masking for sites they host. They do for sites hosted on MobileMe. The CNAME method will give the following in the URL window:
    CNAME
    The CNAME method as setup will display:
    DomainName.com/SiteName/Page1.html
    DomainName.com/SiteName/page2.html
    This will display http://DomainName/SiteName/PageName.html for each of the pages and will let visitors bookmark individual pages.
    F+rom Akdream in Support Domain Name, what is it all about
    This is how it is when you host the site on MobileMe and it should work if you host it on GoDaddy. It will give you what you want so check with GoDaddy and see if and how to activate it.

  • Using 10.6 iweb 3.04 . I make a small change on a page  , then choose publish changes , but seems to take hours and seems to want to publish the whole site , not just a small change?

    Using 10.6 iweb 3.04 . I make a small change on a page  , then choose publish changes , but seems to take hours and seems to want to publish the whole site , not just a small change?

    Doing the following wouldn't hurt either:
    delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.

  • How long does itunes:new-feed-url take to completely change my podcast page?

    I've used the itunes:new-feed-url to change my podcast page, but I'm curious how long it takes. I have a new episode up, but the podcast page located here doesn't show that third episode, even though the new feed as well as 301 redirect is in place.

    The Store won't redirect to the new feed at http://www.tripodbroadcasting.com/givethatsomethought/feed/ until the next time it checks the old feed. You posted the latest episode only today: it usually takes 1-2 days for new episode to appear in the Store as it caches feeds and visits them in rotation to check for changes. When this happens it will transfer to the new feed. Subscribers are already redirected to the new feed and see the third episode.

  • How to Change iWeb page themes after the page has already created?

    Once you have created a page with a theme and saved it, and then later you want to change it to another theme... How does one change theme without recreating the page?
    Also, How does one add background music to a page once it is opened?
    Thanks!
    T.

    I too am wondering about your first question, but I have found a workaround for your second question.
    First save the audio clip as a mov file in quicktime, then place it somewhere on the page. Make it small and out of the way and hide ot from site.
    Now publish the site. Then you will have to change the HTML. Open text edit and select "Ignore Rich Text Commands". Open the iDisk icon on the left and find the Web folder then follow this string Web/Sites/iWeb/<Your Site Name>/<then the page name folder, example: "Home_files">/then "Home.js"
    Once opened find the quicktime file use the find feature it will list the properties twice, the second listings are the ones you want to change. Change controller="true" to controller="false". Then autoplay="false" to autoplay="true" and loop="false" to loop="true".
    If you change that specific page and republish you will have to do this again, but only if you change that page. You will not if you rebublish and you had made no changes to that specific page.
    Hope this helps.

  • What problems, if any, has anyone had by changing to iCloud with their iWeb pages?

    What problems, if any, has anyone had by changing to iCloud with their iWeb pages?

    The iWeb Application will still run after Mobile Me will be turned off; you can export your web pages to a folder on your hard disk and use ftp to upload the pages to another hosting service.
    The generated webpages however will refer to icons located on the mobile me server. To make the forward/backward arrows in slide shows work again you will have to patch the iWeb Application. See Old Toad's tutorial on how to do this:
    Modify the iWeb Application: http://oldtoadstutorials.net/No.26.html
    Also there is a nice tutorial on how to transit from Mobile Me to another service; see Roger Wilmut's page here:

  • Does changing iPhoto library "mess up" iWeb pages?

    Can someone give me a short explanation of how iWeb stores its images on my computer, and how that relates, if at all, to iPhoto? Many of my iWeb pages are created from iPhoto albums. Now I would like to make some significant changes to my iPhoto library (divide it into two libraries, delete some images, etc). Willl that have any effect upon my iWeb pages on my computer that use those iPhoto images? Or, once imported to iWeb from iPhoto, are the images then part of iWeb independent of iPhoto? Thank you!

    Bobio,
    iWeb stores all of it's data in a file named Domain. This file, by default, is placed on your hard drive in this location. Once the iPhoto media is imported into iWeb, it is copied there and the iPhoto files are not affected by what iWeb does with the media. iWeb will actually store a copy of the original file from iPhoto--something to bear in mind if you are using large pic files. Your Domain file can become somewhat bloated if you are using a lot of large media.
    So the short answer to your question is, yes, the iPhoto media becomes part of the iWeb file and you may do what you will with your iPhoto configuration without affecting it, and vice versa--changes to previously imported iPhoto media within iPhoto will not affect your pages.
    Mark

  • Looking for 'music player' widget to play songs dragged onto iWeb page

    Has anyone found a 'music player' widget that can be embedded into an iWeb page, and that can then load and play the songs that have been dragged onto that page?
    I have found several such widgets that can scan a URL for mp3 files, and I have successfully embedded each of those widgets into an iWeb page using the HTML Snippet, but none of them could find the mp3 files that I dragged onto the page, even though I supplied the widget with the URL for that page.

    Wyodor, I just wanted to let you know that I am having a lot of fun with the WimpyPlayer, and I like the skin you sent me. Thank you so much.
    I've been playing around with it. I had to reduce the height of the widget to fit on my webpage, but when I did, the text became too small to read, so instead, I went into the skin's jpeg and cut out the midsection of the playlist area. Then I had to readjust the playlist's number of lines displayed and its slider size to fit. I also changed the color scheme to match my webpage, and some of the Help tags. All in all, it looks great, and I am very happy with it.
    The one feature I miss from when I was using iWeb's built-in QuickTime player is the ability to have a photo (such as an album cover) displayed with the music. Do you happen to know of any music players that enable you to attach a photo with each track or album?

  • Tip: How to link to a non-iWeb page in the main navigation menu.

    I've figured out an easy way to add a link to the main navigation menu which links to a URL of your choosing. For example, I have an older .Mac site using the now archaic HomePage. Instead of rebuilding all of my old pages in iWeb, I thought it would be nice to add a link to the old site from the top main navigation of the iWeb pages. Sounds easy, right? Apparently Apple has other ideas as iWeb doesn't allow you to do this.
    Here's a work-a-round:
    Step 1.) Open iWeb and add a new page to your iWeb site. Pick any template, it doesn't matter which one.
    Step 2.) Change the page name to whatever you want using the page inspector. Whatever you choose as a name here will be reflected in the main navigation menu. For example, I named my page "Photo Archives".
    Step 3.) You don't need to edit this new page at all. In fact, we're going to erase all of the content in it later. Now publish your site.
    Step 4.) If you're using .Mac, mount your iDisk to your desktop. Then navigate through the folders to: Web -> Sites -> iWeb -> <Your Site Name>. If you're hosting your site somewhere else, navigate to your root directory.
    Step 5.) You should now be looking at all of the files which make up your iWeb site. Open the dummy page we created in Step 2 in a text editor. I used BBEdit, but TextEdit (see note below) will work just fine. For example, my dummy page is named "Photo Archives.html".
    Note: If you're going to use TextEdit, you need to select the checkbox "Ignore rich-text commands in HTML files" from the Open & Save pane of the Preferences dialog PRIOR to opening the file from your iDisk.
    Step 6.) Select all of the text (Command-A) and Delete.
    Step 7.) Paste the following text, substituting the URL you want to link to.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><title></title><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://www.mydomain.com/mypage.html" /></head><body></body></html>
    Step 8.) Save the file. You're done! You now have a link in the main navigation which goes to any URL you want.

    Hi,
    I'm OK to step seven but in your example can you highlight or make bold the "url address part " I'm to replace with my own?
    Thanks!
    Step 6.) Select all of the text (Command-A) and
    Delete.
    Step 7.) Paste the following text, substituting the
    URL you want to link to.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE html
    PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

    tle><meta http-equiv="refresh"
    content="0;url=http://www.mydomain.com/mypage.html"
    /></head><body></body></html>
    Step 8.) Save the file. You're done! You now have a
    link in the main navigation which goes to any URL you
    want.
