Creating a Pocast to be hosted somewhere other than .mac

Anyone had any experience of creating iweb pages with a podcast and hosting on site other than a .mac?
I know I can save the site/podcast to the desktop and then add/upload to an existing website.
When iWeb saves locally it asks for the url for the site.
so for example I might add...
www.mycoolwebsite.com
Is there anything else that needs to be added to this path ... like /podcast?
Should it be saved to its own discrete folder?
Also I guess I will need to create a button within iweb, on the podcast page, to take the user back to the Host home page.
Anyone with any clear advice on how to do this?!!!
It would be nice just to have a link on a page to the RSS feed without having to go to this "bolt on" page.
Hope these Q's make some sense!!!
Any ideas?

I know I can save the site/podcast to the desktop and
then add/upload to an existing website.
Yes.
When iWeb saves locally it asks for the url for the
site.
This is so that the internal links work.
so for example I might add... www.mycoolwebsite.com
Is there anything else that needs to be added to
this path ... like /podcast?
You should have http:// on the front, then the URL for your webspace, whatever that is. If you save the pages to the root level of your webspace, then that will do. You might want to create a folder on the server called podcast, in which case you would need the /podcast, which represents the folder.
Should it be saved to its own discrete folder?
That's up to you: if you are not going to have any other pages then you might as well save to the root level. If you are going to have different sections it would be logical to have folders: but it doesn't really matter as long as the links are correct.
Note that when you upload, you send the contents of the folder you saved to, not the folder itself. Note also that your start page must be called index.html (though iWeb should take care of that).
Also I guess I will need to create a button within
iweb, on the podcast page, to take the user back to
the Host home page.
I don't use iWeb, but it must offer links to the pages within the site and back to the main page.
It would be nice just to have a link on a page to the
RSS feed without having to go to this "bolt on" page.
Note that the link to the rss feed is for programs such as NetNewsWire which are rss readers, don't confuse this with an ordinary web page. You link to the rss page just the same as any web page: http://severname.com/rss.xml or whatever it's called (the extension must be .xml).

  • How to create in iweb but upload to something other than .mac account

    I bought my own domain name and have a hosting server all setup through a friend.
    My question is can I create my page in iweb and upload it to my own hosting server which is not .mac?
    If not, how can I pull all files and folders out to copy up using Classic FTP?
    If I cant use iweb at all, what can I use to build my page on my macbook?
    Thank You
    Patrick

    Hi Patrick,
    all you have to do is go to File=>Publish to a folder when in iWeb and then upload the resulting files (index.html & folder named with name of your site in iWeb) to your server using an FTP application.

  • Can I publish to somewhere other than .Mac with iWeb?

    I've been looking into switching away from .Mac when my account expires this time, for various reasons, one being price. Is there a way that I can use iWeb to publish to somewhere else, most likely an FTP server. If so, any reccomendations as to what server, I am doing researhc now to find a good, dependable one.

  • Can iWeb be hosted by another site other than .Mac?

    I have already purchased a domain name and a hosting agreement with GoDaddy, however I cannot utilize their web page templates for some reason. Another mac user suggested I purchase iWeb and then have GoDaddy host. Can that be easily accomplished?

    Yes, it can be easily accomplished. Here's iWeb's Help info on this topic...
    Publishing to a server or hosting service other than .Mac:
    Instead of publishing your site to .Mac, you can publish your site to a local folder and then upload it to the server or hosting provider of your choice. You may want to use this method if you own a domain name and want to place your site there.
    To publish your site to a local destination:
    Choose File > Publish to a Folder.
    Choose a location to store your site, and then click Choose.
    After you publish your site to a folder, you can use an FTP (file transfer protocol) client to upload the site folder and index file to the location of your choice. iWeb does not provide an FTP client, but they are easy to obtain. Some hosting services provide a web-based FTP upload service, or you can download an FTP client from the web. For more information, contact your server administrator.
    If you don't publish your site to .Mac, these features are unavailable:
    Password protection
    Blog comments
    Blog search
    Hit counter
    Enhanced slideshows
    Also, for Subscribe buttons to work, you must specify your site's URL in the field provided after you publish to a folder.

  • Hosting other than .Mac?

    I'm creating a website for our church and want to use iWeb to create it, but since I'm the only one with an Apple computer, I don't really want to use .Mac to host the site. Is there a host that supports iWeb other than .Mac?

    I believe iWeb was developed as a personal web page making tool. If you're doing it for a church, you will probably have to invest in learning how to upload files anyways. You're most likely going to have to learn it in order to teach it. I wish my brother had taught me.
    Maybe take a web page building class at the local high school or community college. If you just don't have time to learn it, maybe suggest your church purchase a lower end mac.
    I disagree with kakster84.
    It doesn't matter that it is for a church, personal, business etc. It only matters what the content will be. I would assume a church website would be more information and images then anything complicated that would require a class or some extra software.
    I have build business websites for doctors, actors, ecommerce companies etc and always use iWeb.

    What does the fact that it is for a "church" have to do with "investing in learning how to upload files"? Use iWeb, click "Publish" button. Done!
    The whole point of a Mac, iWeb and .Mac is that you don't need to take classes. BUT if you can't seem to get started then walk into you local Apple store and ask for some help from an employee. If you must take a "class" then the Apple store provides one on one training for a yearly fee.

  • Is it possible to send messg. to other emails (aol) other than mac. users?

    Hi.
    I'm a novice mac. user and if it's possible to send messeges (yahoo, aol.etc.) other than mac. users using the Mail? If it's possible I need help--if possible, step by step, to set up my Mail. I appreciate it if you can help me.
    Thank you.

    Hello Louise.
    Yes it is possible but if you have a free Yahoo account, Yahoo prevents accessing a free Yahoo account with any email client like the Mail.app for U.S. residents. If you have a paid Yahoo account which I believe costs only $20/year, you can access the account with the Mail.app and the account settings to set up the account in Mail are provided at Yahoo's website.
    If you have an AOL email account, check Accessing the AOL Mail System using IMAP & Authenticated SMTP An Unofficial Guide and if you are currently using the AOL program to access your AOL account, you can use the AOL Service Assistant.

  • Will iWeb Allow You to Publish to Places other than .Mac?

    I like the functionality of iWeb, but wonder if it would allow me to publish to a site other than .Mac.

    Choose Publish to a Folder rather than Publish to .Mac, then use FTP to upload from your local folder to your non-.Mac server.
    You need to be aware, though, that you'll lose some of the benefits of .Mac publishing when you do this. Slideshows will be different, password protection won't be available, the hit counter won't work, and Comments and Search which came with version 1.1 won't function.

  • Create keyboard shortcut to flag messages colors other than read

    I'm trying to create a keyboard shortcut that will allow me to flag messages in Apple Mail a color other than red. (I've created smart folders associated with different color flags; I want to create a keyboard shortcut that will allow me to quickly flag an item so that it moves to the right smart folder.)
    I've gone to system preferences/keyboard/keyboard shortcuts/application shorts and created new shortcuts for Apple Mail. )Control-option-command-o is one.) The 'All Controls' tab is clicked at the bottom. However, the commands don't work.
    The instructions above suggest that it should be adding a new command to the menu. I don't see anything new though. Should there be something somwhere?
    Thank you in advance for your help with this question. Any suggestions you have would be great appreciated.

    Hello,
    When adding a keyboard shortcut for Mail :
    Type in "Menu Title" the menu item exactly as it appears in the application menu, for example "Orange";
    In the "Keyboard Shortcut" press the key combination you want to associate.
    You'll perhaps have to restart application for the new shortcut to have effect.
    Regards.

  • Finding files on an iPod Classic that were added from somewhere other than iTunes

    I added files onto an iPod Classic from another source other than iTunes, but can't find that file on the iPod, either its not connected self, or when it is in iTunes.
    So, how do I go about locating the file without going back INTO iTunes and adding the file into iTunes' library?

    Hey thanks, Jim... Actually I do have a back up of my entire library on an external drive. Is the process just dragging the songs and albums from the Finder (from the external drive backup) onto the iPod when I plug it in to iTunes and they copy over? Is it possible to create new or update existing Playlists with this method? But is key is to never sync the iPod with iTunes or do I need to check Manually Manage Music & Videos?
    Or am I looking at this completely wrong. lol

  • Trackpad cursor clicks somewhere other than where I'm clicking

    I have a macbook pro OS X 10.7.  About 10% of my trackpad "clicks" end up activating something other than what I'm clicking on.  For example, I go to click a link on a webpage, and as I'm depressing the trackpad, the cursor jumps to my iPhoto application icon and activates iPhoto.  I then force a quit to stop it.  This happens about 10% of all clicks.  Very annoying.  I've contacted Applecare, they basically say it's one of those computer "glitches", so just live with it.  Anyone have a solution?

    Do you have another pointing device (tablet, mouse, anything) plugged in at the same time?
    Mac OS X uses "all devices active" philosophy. You ARE using any other devices you have plugged in.

  • IWeb '08: Can I publish to sites other than .Mac?

  • Publishing to a server other than .Mac

    Does this version make that any easier? I can't find any information on it... I would rather use my FREE Comcast hosted web site than pay for .Mac... Any suggestions?

    To be honest, if there is no built in FTP support, which EVERY other web authoring software that I have used includes, then I'll not be bothering with iLife 08. I'm getting increasingly frustrated with Apple's head-in-the-sand mentality, pretending that we all only use .mac. I have 4GB of hosting for several domains with a hosting provider, and I pay for that, and I'd like to be able to simply publish more than one site to that space using the web design tool (i.e. iWeb), not faff about saving to a folder and then using another FTP app.
    Before I switched to the Mac I used FrontPage with FPSE on the server. It really was an absolute pleasure publishing my sites, and I paid noting to have FPSE support on my web hosting. I now use RapidWeaver for my websites, but still miss FrontPage publishing, which was great at recovering from publishing errors, unlike all the FTP tools that I've tried. Web creation and publishing on the Mac is far more of a headache and far less enjoyable than it was on Windows XP with FrontPage, that's for sure.
