Comments added to blog change page's appearance

Hi,
I'm sorry if this is a repeat posting, but I couldn't find anything about it after a perfunctory search.
When people add comments to my blog, it upsets the vertical layout of the page (i.e. white space doesn't stretch as far as it should). Looking at the pages in iWeb, there doesn't seem to be a problem.
This page for example:
http://web.mac.com/mccormickdavid/iWeb/TrombonesInTechno/Blog/2E725615-0820-47EB -A9A7-9256043FABA9.html
the space behind 'bosh blog podcast photos' should be white up to the black bar (and appears so in iWeb). Same applies at the bottom of the page.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance,
David
p.s. apologies for the mundane nature of the site.

I have seen this problem with the shifting background before. Your ultimate option is to eliminate the page background and let the browser background show through.
Another workaround might be to make a screenshot of a square of white space (your background), then use that square as your page background image...choose tiled in the dropdown menu of the inspector.

Page layout skewed after comment added to blog post

I am having an issue where my page layout is all out of whack after a reader posts a comment. The body text of the blog post drops down the page to cover over the top comment. Also noticed that the weblink that the reader has entered doesn't work - It's supposed to load their site when clicking on their name, but no link is active. Also having problem where the body text is OK, but the comment is cut off - the page doesn't automatically extend to allow the comment to fit at the bottom.
Very frustrating for me and my readers.
BTW, using iWeb09 and Mobile Me account. Annoying to pay this money and not have results.

Seems I can answer this one myself.
The problem occurs when the code from Google Analytics is not on the furthest back layer. Right click on html box containing the code and select 'Move to back'. Problem solved

JAAS login module is calling password change page

Hi,
I am developing an login module on SAP Portal 7.0, but I stuck an issue. "User password change" page is appearing on the screen as soon as I call "http://<hostname>:<port>/irj/portal", after I add my custom login module under "ticket" component on "Visual Administrator". It is weird that custom login module is running properly on the portal with 1 server node. The problem is occured when I try to call it on the portal with 5 server nodes. I would like to indicate that I didn't call "User password change" page or something like a thing that can call that page, in the code. Anyone has a suggestion?
Thank you

Customizing blog entries page

Instead of having my blog entries page just appear as a headline and summary of my blog entries, I'd like to have this page serve as my main page, so that all entries can be seen in their entirety, along with photos and design from the entries page.
In other words, less clicking around to "read more". I want the blog page to have everything so it's scrollable. Is there a way to do this?

Exactely!!!
But How?!!!

Suddenly my Firefox app changed. When I am on Facebook it CONSTANTLY asks if I want to change pages, even if I am just browsing a picture album. And I have trouble comments or moving among pages. The Link buttons appear to be inactive.

I get a grey box every time I click on anything in games or picture albums, or moving among applications, asking me if I want to change pages. I went to Tools/Options/and made sure I had the "warn me when sites want to redirect me" turned off, and "load pages automatically" checked. Also, the links for comment seem to be inactive. I click on links and nothing happens. It works fine on Explorer so I am thinking something about Firefox is wrong.

This issue can be caused by one of the gadgets on the Facebook page. You will have to check that out by removing some of them.This issue can be caused by one of the gadgets on the Facebook page. You will have to check that out by removing each of them until you find the culprit. If you added one or updated one recently than start with those.

How do I turn off comments on my blog pages?

I see that I can create a rule that requires comments to be approved before they are posted, however I want to turn them off completely. I don't want "Post a comment" on my blog pages.

Hi,
You can remove the comment feature completely within the blog layout.
Site manager -> module templates -> Blog Layout -> Blog Post Details

How to change the color of blog titles on blog archive page?

So while I'm waiting for apple to fix iweb's publishing problem, I might as well do a revamp of my site in the meantime.
One thing I've been itching to change, but can't is the color of the blog titles on the main blog archive page? They show up in red, even when I change the color on the actually blog entry page to blue. Can anyone please help?

Font changes on Blog main page

Hi everyone!
Does any of you know if it is possible, on iWeb Blog main page, to modify the other posts than the first one ? I lowered the size of the text in my posts when editing them, but when appearing on the main page of the blog, they get bigger and it is impossible to edit then.
Thanks for any help !

Error Message when adding a comment to a blog

I have just added a blog page to a website and intend to use it as a basic message board. I did this in iWeb 1. When I tested it on the web I get a message saying that mac has encountered an error.
Can anyone help?
Philip

Hi Varkgirl,
That would be great but I don't really know where to start with this. Can you help?
Sorry for the delay in responding but I run my own business as well as doing my wife's website.
My email address is [email protected] if you could send me your advice that way if it's ok with you.
Thanks.

Change blog start page - is it possible?

Hi all.
I have a blog going, started it in iWeb 1.0. However, the template is looking a little tired and limited and I quite fancy changing it to one of the new ones. I've stared at the programme for a while, but nothing's coming to me on how to do it. Is it possible? Is it simple (like me)?
Thanks!

Thanks. My staring at the page was leading me to the
'start again'-type conclusion. And I think you're
right; no one except my mother and father and wife
want to read the old entries anyway!
sob
*starts again*
Hahaha....Sorry to break it to you this way!.... You know how when you are on your very first (earliest) blog entry and you hit "Previous" the link actually takes you back to the main blog index page because there are no previous or earlier entries? Well, now you can change that one link in your new blog to point at your old blog to make the transition seamless... haha. Believe me, I know about homepages and mothers, fathers, and wives! Good luck!

Adding a blog to the "Our Pages" section in groups

OK, in my group i wanted to add a blog. So i published site. The problem is, its showing each individual blog entry as a website link in the "Our Pages" Column. I just want to see one link there to the blog site.

Pages version?

I can't comment on Blogger blogs.

When I try to comment on Blogger blogs, Firefox won't allow me to go to the next page or pop-up window to open or verify my ID. I even have allowed pop-ups and it still won't work. When I hit enter to process my comment, Firefox flashes some quick message above that I can't read and then my comment completely disappears, back to the original page.
Firefox also won't keep me logged in to Google, which is part of the problem.
I've tried all different settings, and my only success is to open IE and comment through that application.

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:

Changing page sized in 08

sorry for cross posting this but not used to 06-08 boards, just updated.
1. I tried changing page size in iWeb 1 but it didn't work. Does it work in 08?
2. Can you change margins/fontsize in navigation bar?

If you click on the Nav bar you should get a box that can be expanded horizontally. I don't think you can change the font or font size of the nav bar. That's hard coded into the theme.
Yes and no.
Yes it is hardcoded.
No, see this thread:

important note: do not try this with blog/podcast, unless someone gives a positive feedback on .mac blog/podcast commenting system (with post processing)

Adding Camera Shot Changes Template

I LOVE the camera shot idea. LOVE IT!
However, how can I get it to work WITHOUT changing my formatting? I want my film script to still look and feel like a film script, not whatever it's changing to.
BEFORE:
AFTER:
I only do film scripts, so I'm not sure what it's changing it to. By why does it have to change? Can't it add the note to the BEFORE version and call it good? That would make me very happy!
How to?

Ok, thanks for the heads up.
I've never used this before and stumbled upon it and saw some potential for my projects.
One thing I hate is writing SHOT lines. But sometimes you have to write them as you see them in your head before they disappear. I don't mind writing them, I just hate them taking up "real" space in my script. Sometimes I will put them in the comment section, but they can get missed sometimes that way. I thought this would be a good way to keep them present on the script and NOT affect your total page count.
BTW, can you print comments onto a script on the same page they appear in the text? Probably not, eh? I like the comments, but I wish I could treat them differently than footnotes. Better than nothing, I guess.
I've been over at FD8 for the last year and didn't know you came out of beta. The program is looking much better and much more stable than when I left it last time. Congrats!
