Cost of maintaining website via iWeb '09

Hi
I've never used iWeb before. If I buy iWeb '09 and publish my website onto the internet using iWeb, can my website me accessible forever? Or do I need to keep buying new new iWeb annually e.g. iWeb '10, iWeb '11, iWeb '12, etc?
Please advise! Thanks.

To download iWeb updates, go to the Apple home page and then click on Support and then choose iWeb. When you get to this page on the right hand side there is a section that has Software Updates and under there are iWeb 2.0.3 and 2.0.4. Try clicking on these and seeing what happens.
The whole point of using iWeb is that you can create a blog yourself and you can add photo albums to your website and then upload it.
If you want a domain name, then you won't get it for free. You have to go somewhere like GoDaddy and purchase a domain name.
There are free hosting services, but most of them contain lots of adds and do not provide a very good service. If you want web hosting, then it is better to look around for a good deal and pay for it. Again, look at GoDaddy.
If you just want blogging without a website, then try E-blogger. You don't need a domain name for that and you can create it from anywhere directly online, which you can't with iWeb. Also, if you create your blog in iWeb and then don't publish it to MobileMe, then you loose the comment facility too.

Updating .Mac website via Iweb

I have been creating a web site via Iweb. I plan on publishing it to my .Mac account in the next day or so. The site is of our newborn and I plan on updating it with photos often (once a week). I have been reading the chats and find that when I update the site it (iweb) will re-upload everything (thus causing me to go over the 1GB limit). Is there a quick fix or an easy workaround?
All I will be changing on the site (on a regular basis...for now) will be new photos. I will want to remove the old ones and replace with the newer ones.
Mac Mini & Windows XP Mac OS X (10.4.4) in the process of making the FULL switch from PC to MAC

Also be aware that iWeb resizes your photos, so it will take quite a while for you to hit 1GB. If my memory serves me correctly it resizes everything to a max of 800*600 pixels, creating files of >100kb (looking at my own files).
I have a couple of hundred photos on my site and I have used less than 60MB of my 1GB, loads of space left.
You could even add a new page each week

How to actually launch website via iWeb?

Hi,
My Wife has created a website in iWeb 09, signed up for Mobile Me but how does she actually go about publishing her site? She has also paid "123 reg" for an exclusive domain name, if she launches the site nothing comes up in Google when she searches for her site?
Thanks.

First she needs to publish her site to MobileMe. Go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log into her MMe account.
In iWeb, click on the site folder and select Publish to: MobileMe.
Click to view full size
Now use the Publish button at the bottom or the File ➙ Publish menu option to publish the site to her MMe account. Now you can visit her site online with this URL:
http://web.me.com/MobileMeAccount_Name/SiteName.
To get the domain name to point to her MMe site follow the instructions in this Apple document: iWeb: Using your own domain name. If you have problems at the "123 reg" end contact their customer support.

iCloud does NOT allow you to host your web sites. You can continue to use iWeb but, will need a 3rd party web host to upload your websites to. Depending on the version of iWeb you are using you have a couple of publishing options:
iWeb '09 (3.0.4) you can publish to an FTP Server or a local folder. ( With the built in FTP in iWeb you will end up with an address like "www.YourDomain.com/sitename/Home.html )
iWeb '08 you can publish your website to a local folder
I have been using IX Webhosting for several years with little to no problems "usually the problem was something I did" and they have been quick to solve any issue I have come across. The have plans that start at $3.95 a mo (USD) and their customer service is top notch.

How can I publish my website from iWeb?

I have created a Website on iWeb - but did not realize that I would not be able to publish via MobileMe. I cannot publish on a local folder. How can I get my site online?
Thanks!

You will need to find a 3rd party webhost for your website, I have been using IX Webhosting for several years now with little to no problems "usually the problem was something I did" and they have been quick to solve any issue I have come across.

How do you edit an existing website in iWeb?

how do you edit an existing website in iWeb?

An existing website as in: editing one which has not previously been uploaded via iWeb?
I don't think you can. With the wysiwyg editing of iWeb, you can create a whole new website, make a new subdomain site or even upload a few extra created pages.
Thing is iWeb will only upload or save what you are making in it, therefore you can upload a whole new website to a domain, or upload them manually with ftp-clients. That also means you can't import an exsisting, for example html, script and edit it.
So in short: for as far as I know, you can't import whole pages into iWeb and edit those, you can only create and upload them.
Or as in: editing one I've already made, and uploaded on the same Mac?
Then simple make the changes you want, and hit the "Publish" button in the far down-left corner of the window. It will then overwrite the site you currently have.

How can I find and edit my website on iWeb? It has disappeared

I created my website on iWeb and published it on Google. I have revised it a couple of times but now, when I open iWeb, the website is not there. I just get a new templatae. "Visit" is unavailable. If I try to open it from the Finder via iWeb, it goes to the same place. PS-I just upgraded to Lion!

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Using Elements to create slideshow to post online via iweb....

Is this possible??? I am almost at my wits end trying to figure out a way to create a slideshow to post on my site via iweb that looks decent. iweb does have a slideshow it is only enabled IF the viewer wants to enable it. One other thing that I have tried is uploading to other sites and copying the html and putting it in a widget. This works great but looks terrible. Is there another way or does anyone have any other options? Thanks so much!!!!

How are you hosting your site, and which slideshow are you trying to do? Which version of elements?
If you mean the html slideshow in earlier versions of elements, you would need to upload that to a separate folder on your website and just link to it (you'll have to edit the html of the completed slideshow to give your visitors a way back to the main site). That's about as much as you can do.
I'd suggest looking into something like rapidweaver rather than beating your head against the wall trying to make this work, or using a photo hosting site and linking to the pics from your iweb page.

Question re iMovie clip that I put on my Website via a YouTube window

Hi, this may or may not be a question for this particular forum but, in case someone can help me -- I have a video on my website via an embedded YouTube window. The window gives the user two ways to Play the video: the little arrow at the left corner of the scrollbar along the bottom of the window, and (this is the problem) a large white arrow smack in the center of the video window. The latter takes the user to the YouTube site to see the video, whereas the little scrollbar arrow keeps the user watching the video on my website page.
Is there a way to remove the center arrow one that leads to YouTube? I want to keep users on my site/page.

...this may or may not be a question for this particular forum...
indeed ..
iMovie is a video edit app... you have some html trouble..
after uploading a video to youtube.com, it gives you the following code (hopefully, the forum's software doesn't try to interpret the following...):
< object width="425" height="350" >< param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yourvideosurl" >< /param >< embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yourvideosurl" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="600" height="350" >< /embed >< /object >
on MY websites (example here), it generates the window you've discribed: the player controls plus that fat arrow... but hitting that, loads the video inside my website, not linked further to youtube...??
maybe a browser problem, in case you're using Safari, ask the experts here:

or a website editor's problem, in case you're using iWeb, ask the experts here:

No Centry in CDHDR when Cost Center is created via Idoc

Hi All,
Whenever a cost center is created via an Idoc the corresponding entry is not maintained in CDHDR table.
Whereas if I use Tcode ks01 to create Cost Center (ie via screen) then there is an entry to CDHDR table.
I tried debugging the FM IDOC_INPUT_COSTCENTER .
Here in PERFORM write_ale_cp_via_cd tables LT_CSKS,
there is a call to CALL FUNCTION 'IDOC_CD_WRITE_CHECK,
here ld_active is always initial.
If I set this as X while debugging then I do have my entry in CDHDR table.
Can anyone let me know the significance of this ld_active and why is it not set to X initially.
As it is important for me to have entry in CDHDR because I need to trigger an event as a cost center is added.
Kindly advice.
Regards,
Sweta

Sweta,
The same problem has lingered with me for awhile now. Finally, I have a solution.
The controlling area needs to be configured for master data distribution. Take a look at the view V_TKA01_ALE to confirm that the controlling area(s) that you are working with have a logical system(TKA01-LOGSYSTEM) and distribution method(TKA01-ALEMT) set up. These fields are checked in the IDOC_CD_WRITE_CHECK function module. If they are blank, no change documents are created.
Hope this helps.

Issues Publishing Website via FTP

Hi guys...
Firstly I'd like to mention that I'm a real noob when it comes to this so please bear with me.
Basically, I created a website on iWeb for my radio show but when I publish it, it all seems fine but when i go to the actual URL it doesn't show the page, just the Web Company's page displaying the message:
"This Domain name is registered and parked with Crazy Domains". ..
I input the correct ftp details and username/password, and I even tried uploading it with FileZilla to no luck... Is there something I'm missing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks!
PS, I should mention that I own the domain name and have bought the web hosting as well via Crazy Domains, not Mobile Me

You need to forward your domain name to the IP address of your hosting account. As you have registered your domain name with your hosting service their tech support should help you with this or, at least, point you in the right direction.
When I start a new site, I register the domain name through my hosting company, Host Excellence, create a new root folder in my account and then hook them up with a couple of mouse clicks in the control panel.

Multiple websites with iWeb?

I'd like to create multiple sites with iWeb. For instance, I'd like a personal site and a business site. Can this be done or are we only allowed a singel website?

sjesser...
Since iWeb goes through every page in its calculations when publishing, you might find having two sites together in the same instance of iWeb to be cumbersome if you update one or the other site frequently. Additionally, if you ever plan on hosting your personal and business sites in different places, it will be impossible to edit or publish your two sites independently of one another.
The solution to this would be to keep your personal and business sites in different instances of iWeb....different Domain files. Since you have not yet made your second site, this may be a good time to adopt this practice. You can still publish both sites to the same .Mac account....the difference is that iWeb only has to go through one site when you publish.
Check out this program called iWebSites...
http://mistergregg.com/cocoadrillosoftware/
This software will help you create and maintain fully separate websites with iWeb in an easy to use interface. This is the best time to start.....BEFORE you make that second site! Best of luck!

Open website on Iweb

Hello,
I've created a website on Iweb a couple of years ago. I've been uploading it normaly on my domain. My computer crashed a couple of week ago and now, I can't manage to open my site in Iweb (version 2.0.4). I have all the files and the folder with the site, but I don't know how to open it again in the Iweb application (I tried to drag-and-dropp it in the application but it doesn't work).
Could someone help me please ?
Thx a lot

That's because you can't - iWeb has no import facility so it cannot import an already published site - html as you have found.
Unfortunately, a published site is not a backup - it is the domain.sites file that you want and this can be found under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
Did you backup your domain file or anything via Time Machine - if so, you can get anything back, but if not, then you are looking at re-creating your site from scratch.

How do I add a favicon to my website through iWeb?

Hello,
I built my website through iWeb. I am wondering if it is possible to add my favicon to my website through iWeb.
Thanks,
Lora

You can use any image as a favicon.
Save an image as .pgn, .jpg or .gif and rename it favicon.ico
Put it in the root of the server.
Any modern browser will find it. No need to add code to a page.
Here are some I use :

Multiple Websites using iWeb

I currently created one website through iweb. www.michelemcloughlin.com
I now want to create multiple websites for clients, friends etc. Is it possible to do this? I have iLife 08, what would be the best way to do this?

Do you think its easier to buy ilife 09 and not need to go through this process of individual folders?
Michele ~ I think it's better to keep sites for different clients and friends each in their own iWeb Domain file — but that's just a personal opinion and others may differ.
Also, I have a mac account, if I were to design another website for a client do they need to buy hosting as well in addition to their domain name?
As above, I think it's better for clients and friends each to have their own hosting and domain name — although it's not necessary. Perhaps it wouldn't be inconvenient for you to have a close friend's site hosted on your MobileMe account. Also, there are some restrictions regarding setting up multiple domain names to a single MobileMe account — read more here:
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWeb_Domains.html
With iLife 09 is the back up necessary.
Backups are always necessary — your Mac's internal HD could crash at any moment. Do you have a plan for when that happens? ...There are only two types of HD: Those that have crashed and those that haven't — yet:

This back up.. can I copy this domain file and put it on an external hard drive?
Yes.
