Comments in iWeb blog.

I created a website and a blog using iWeb 3.0.4 but no body can leave any comments, even when I had checked the box allowing comments. Help anyone?
Thanks!!

What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?  Where are you hosting your blog website? If it's not to MobileMe that's the reason they can't.  Do you have an Add a Comment link showing?
If so what happens when someone tries to add a comment?

  • Using Facebook Comments for iWeb Blog (non mobile me domain)

    Upon moving from a mobileme hosted iWeb created blog to a personal domain, I obviously lost ability to use iWeb commenting. That in-of-itself was frustrating, so I've been scouting out new possibilities. Some have recommended IntenseDebate and others, but I'm curious if anyone has had luck using Facebook Comments? http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/comments
    I've been able to use the Facebook Like HTML as a Widget not a problem, but haven't been able to get Comments to work.

    Thanks in advance!

    That is because it is a plugin and plugins won't work with iWeb as far as I am aware.
    I would try http://www.intensedebate.com. It is very easy to set up and it works and you will be notified by e-mail every time somebody posts a comment. I use IntenseDebate on my own site and it works very well for me.
    Your other alternative of course is to ditch the iWeb blog and create a blog link to a blog created in WordPress - you can use http://www.wordpress.org too if you uploading to another host, so you will then have www.domain.com/Blog.

  • Suddenly unable to post comments on iWeb blog - image verification error

    People suddenly can't post comments to my blog page (web.me.com/stannerory). I've tried this myself, and posting continuously fails at the image verification process, one receives an error message that says the letters entered don't match the image, yet they do. Someone suggested that cutting the comment, closing, reopening, and pasting, and doing the process a second time would work, but I haven't found this to be successful either. Is there some kind of a workaround? Anyone else having this issue?

    OT -
    Thanks for your efforts.
    It seems to be intermittent now, which is an improvement. I still can't add or remove a comment without fail. It's some consolation that it might be a server issue, but if it were, wouldn't there be all kinds of unhappy Apple users complaining about the issue, AND wouldn't the mobileMe website have some kind of problem indicator light flashing? Of course it would.

  • Posting Comments to iWeb Blogs is Not Easy :-(

    We have created a Family Blog and now all are trying to post comments to a nephew/cousin in the Army in Afghanistan.
    Most all have called and emailed to say they are having HUGE issues trying to post a comment to their nephew/cousin in the Army in Afghanistan.
    They ALL have had trouble and have had to try numerous times.
    They particularly have issues trying to put in the "verification code". So far this silly code has prevented all of our messages from being seen by their cousin/nephew.
    Passwords and codes do nothing but screw up the owners and users and so far iWeb proves this true.
    This "Gong Show" should NOT be happening! Come on iWeb, please fix this and make this easier for our family to send comments to their relative in Afghanistan.

    Fred ~ 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.
    Posterous has "dead simple group blogging by email" where each of your three possible blogs can now have multiple contributers — see here.
    Posterous group blogs are email lists too, in that you can get instant email notifications for new posts — see here.
    General info about Posterous blogs is in their FAQ. ...Group members can contribute text, photos, sound and video files, etc. to a Posterous blog simply by email. Plus there is the usual commenting capability plus comment alerts for the account holder.

  • Possible to move Blog entry w/ comments from one blog to another?

    Is it possible to take a blog entry and comments from (iWeb) Blog #1 and put them into (iWeb) Blog #2? I can see how moving the pictures and text would be easy......... but I also see that moving Comments might be a No-No.
    Lorna in Southern California

    Hi Lorna
    well I did it just last night. I copied and pasted and the page is still fully functional.
    I don't know what the "experts" would say but ya can't get much more "hands on expert" than the fact that I just did it and it worked.
    I made a page below my blog in iWeb. Then I just copied & pasted to the new one. I had to adjust on the page (move to fit for the new format) and I had to rename the "entries." Then I deleted the old blog and renamed the new one in iweb.

  • Google Analytics Automator breaks iWeb blog comments

    Hi
    I added a blog for our Small Business site that I created with iWeb. We used Google Analytics and the Automator script add the HTML snippet to track visits on our site. Since I added the blog I realized that after running the GA automator script the "Add a comment" link disappears.
    Kinda defeats the purpose of the blog. I have to choose between tracking how many visitors have been on the blog, or visitors posting comments, but I can't have both. How can I fix this and track how many visitors were on our site, and have a blog where visitors can leave comments? Any ideas and solutions would be most welcome. Thanks,
    Zoltan

    Unfortunately, as you have discovered, inserting Google Analytics into your site requires post editing. This means that you cannot just publish directly to MobileMe from iWeb - to insert the analytics you need to publish to a folder, insert and then place the Blog directly on your iDisk - unfortunately, this way you loose the features that your iWeb blog provides when published directly to MME - i.e. Blog comments.
    Do you have an ordinary website too or is it just a blog? If you have an ordinary website, what some people do, including myself, is set up a blog with WordPress, E-blogger, or http://www.posterous.com and link to it from your iWeb site.
    If you are just after setting up a blog on its own without a site, then I would suggest you look at http://www.wordpress.com, http://www.eblogger.com or posterous (link provided). You can set up a blog with any template you like and can add entries on line at any time, rather than being limited to updating with the domain.sites file as you are with iWeb.
    In WordPress, you can also add as many pages as you like, so you can effectively have a website as well as a blog, so the other alternatives might be a better bet than iWeb and I think they have their own built in analytics too.

  • Google Analytics breaks iWeb blog comments

    Does anybody know a workaround for Google Analytics' breaking of iWeb blog comments? Apparently, from some posts I've read, StatCounter and other traffic stat services break iWeb blog comments, too... so it's apparently an iWeb issue rather than a Google Analytics issue. FWIW, I'm publishing to my MobileMe personal domain. Thanks in advance!

    I found a decent way of adding Google Analytics to all pages, without using HTML Snippits (which cause analytics to track those odd page names like widget2_markup.html), that doesn't break MobileMe comments, and doesn't require any post-processing of your iWeb site. Just Publish and go! Open up your iWeb app bundle, and drill down to Contents/Resources/Scripts/Site. Open up the file iWebSite.js in TextEdit (or your favorite text editor), and paste the following at the bottom of the file:
    // Begin Google Analytics
    gaTrackerId = 'ss-ddddddd-d'; // insert your tracker id here
    document.observe('dom:loaded', function() {
    var gaJsHost = ( ('https:' == document.location.protocol) ? 'https://ssl.' : 'http://www.') + 'google-analytics.com/ga.js';
    var script = new Element('script', { 'src': gaJsHost});
    var gaTrack = function() {
    if (
    !script.readyState
    || /loaded|complete/.test(script.readyState)
    var pageTracker = gat.getTracker(gaTrackerId);
    pageTracker._trackPageview();
    script.observe('load', gaTrack);
    script.observe('readystatechange', gaTrack);
    document.body.appendChild(script);
    // End Google Analytics
    Credit to this solution goes to this blog post. I got the idea to find a way of using Google Analytics in Prototype (since iWeb sites use the Prototype JavaScript framework) and found that blog snippit.
    And yes, since this is editing the iWeb application bundle, you may need to reapply this hack if/when iWeb is updated. Hopefully though, some enterprising iWeb engineer is reading this and will add proper Google Analytics support to iWeb for us.

  • "Add Comment" missing on Blog in iWeb ???

    Well there's sommeting missing (or that i cannot find) in iWeb...
    How to add the possiblity to let visitor the option to "add comments" on our blog ???
    Most of Blog editors include this option, so i'm surprise apple forget this option ???
    I saw the post with iComments... but is it the only solution to have comments on our blog "create on a mac" ?
    Please does anyone have a solution to create "add comments" on .Mac web site or blog ?
    Imac G5 20inch iSight   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Could those of you who haven't done so please provide your site URLs. It may help in isolating this problem if we can see exactly what's happening.
    In another similar thread where I've checked a provided URL I've noticed that the blog text has been converted to an image, and I'm beginning to wonder if this is what's causing the problem. There's certainly something strange showing up in the source for that site which doesn't apply to Joel Suplido's blog pages which work correctly.

  • Comments on the blog of iweb '06 does not work

    When someone tries to leave a comment on my blog on my iweb website, it seems to not allow people to do so. What could the problem possibly be?

    If you still have problems with comments on your iWeb blog, you could hyperlink from your iWeb site to a web-based blog. For example, the free Posterous is as simple as blogging gets — you can post a blog entry via email or from a web browser:
    ...And since your blog would no longer be stored on your Mac, you'll avoid the future possibility of having to do a long and slow +Publish All+.
    If you went with a new blogging system, you could perhaps use an archiving app such as iterasi to preserve your current blog for posterity before removing it from iWeb.

  • How do I enable comments on an iWeb blog that is not hosted by MobileMe?

    You can install your own comment page using various methods...

  • IWeb Blog- RSS not updated for new Comments?

    Hey gang-
    It appears that Comments added to Blog entries on an iWeb site do not appear in RSS updates to that Blog. Is there any way to make them do that?
    Thanks!
    Dave

    Follow-up post. Strangely, when checking ths RSS feed from IE at work, I see the new posts in the source data of the feed. So this is not an iWeb problem, but probably related to the more general RSS update issues within Safari.

  • IWeb, Blogging and Comments when using a different Host

    Hi
    I have an iWeb site, using Google Domain name, and hosting services of Network Solutions. I want to add a Blog to my site but allow for comments. Currently, iWeb is telling me that comments are added only if I use my MobileMe account. Is there a way to have a blog in iWeb, publish through my current host and have a comment feature that will update properly without kinks? I am considering using Blogger (Google) but unsure of what to do. Any suggestions or realities are accepted! Thanks

    Just use Blogger or WordPress to create your blog and then you can place a link on your website to your blog. Either that or you can display your blog directly in your site by using iframe code.
    Your other alternative is to use the iWeb blog and use something like http://www.intensedebate.com as a comment feature. You could include it on the same page as the blog or put it on a different page.
    Personally, I don't like the iWeb blog, so I use WordPress for my blog and just keep a link to it from my site so that it goes straight to the blog and then opens in a new page.

  • A Problem with Comments on iWeb

    I am having a problem with the comments feature in iWeb. Something has happened where people can no longer add comments to my blog or other sites. Every time they try they see this, "We're sorry. We are having problems processing your request." Does anyone have any insight on how to solve the problem? Thanks,
    Kyle

    You join many others in discovering a problem with the mobile.me conversion. You are probably doing nothing wrong. The "publish" button at the bottom of the iweb application is not working correctly. It is publishing to web.mac.com even though it says otherwise. When this happens the comments function in the blogs will no longer work. Solution: Do not use the "publish" button at the bottom of the iweb application. Instead, go to the very top of your screen, select "File", then publish to mobile.me or Publish all to mobile. me. I think you will find that the comments function now works.
    This solution will NOT work for many of us who have lots of users that have previously been given a web.mac.com URL. There are only two options: 1. Give your users the new URL; or, put a note at the top of the web.mac.com blog that tells people it is "read only" and that comments won't work, then use a link to redirect them to a mirror image of the site with a web.me URL.. It's a pain, I know. Apple needs to fix it but the company seems to be taking a long time to do it. Must be bigger problems on their plate.

  • Importing iWeb Blog to Blogger

    It seems impossible to export my iWeb Blog feed and then import it to Blogger... are there any work arounds? iWeb has limitations that aren't good for the blog set up. I'd like to use it for something else and move my blog to blogger. Thanks in advance.

    If you want to be able to transfer your blog comments from MobileMe to another blogging platform, there is more support for doing this via the Wordpress blog.

  • Move iWeb blog to WordPress?

    Hello,
    I hope someone can help me. I have a blog at a MobileMe site that will soon disappear. The address is web.me.com/tjkk2 . I now have a WordPress blog and would love to move the entries at this old site into the new WordPress one. Is there a way that this can be done? If someone could point me the way forward to do this, I would be most grateful.
    Thank you very much.

    Not sure if you already went through with copying and pasting your blog posts, but I just found this tool that lets you import your iWeb blog posts and comments to wordpress.
