Default title on each blog entry

When selecting a new blog, each one has its own default title and it also extends to each blog entry created. When it is changed on the first page, why doesnt it do the same on each entry page too? I am tired of changing the title every time I create a new page!!!

You are going to have to add the BC tags to output your meta data on the Blog Post Layout.  You can find this layout in BC under Site Manager > Module Templates > Blog Layout > Blog Post Details Layout.  If you prefer to edit your layout via FTP you can find that layout in /Layouts/Blog/post.html
In your layout add {tag_blogpostmetadescription} and {tag_blogpostmetatitle} where you need them.. typically it's in the HEAD element:
<title>{tag_blogpostmetatitle}</title>
<meta content="{tag_blogpostmetadescription}" name="description" />
You can use any number of tags available to the blog post layout-- you can see those under "Blogs: post.html" at  http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/kb/tags---quick-reference.html#id_32612
While you're editing the blog post detail layout you could also add other metadata like the Facebook Open Graph meta information too, like <meta name="og:title" content="{tag_blogpostmetatitle}" />
BC just made an update to the Blog engine which lets you add Open Graph or other meta data to the blog post detail layout.  For info about those blog changes see the BC Blog post at http://www.businesscatalyst.com/bc-blog/april-system-update

  • How to get rid of "My Blog" at the top of each blog entry

    I've been using the blog pages, but whenever I add an entry, it automatically has the words "My Blog" at the top of the page. I don't want this at the top of my entries, so I've been deleting it from each entry.
    Is there a way to avoid deleting this each time? Can I modify the template in some way (hopefully not too difficult)?
    Thanks.

    I have done a lot of custom tweaks to my web pages including background images and text formatting. In order not to have to do each tweak every time I add a new entry, I select my last entry in the list at the top of the entry window and select Edit>Duplicate. I then modify the titles and text for my new entry. It's a huge time saver!

  • Can't get specific URL for blog entry.

    I run a blog at http://www.w0rdvomit.com and I want to get a separate page link for each blog entry, but when I click on it all it says in the url bar is www.w0rdvomit.com. Is there any way that I can change it so I can have the blog links come up also?

    If your blog is just displaying your domain name for every page, then you are probably using masked web forwarding?
    To get anything different, then you need to set up CNAME forwarding, so enter your domain name into your MobileMe account and then go to your domain name registrar and go to the DNS settings and set up a new CNAME with the alias as your domain name and your host as web.me.com. This is the only way it will work and if you want to do this but your domain registrar does not offer CNAME forwarding, then you are looking at moving your domain name to somewhere that does offer this such as GoDaddy.

  • Rearrange Blog Entries

    Hey Folks,
    I'm putting together a faux blog as a companion to a novel I just finished. Each blog entry references a chapter in the book. After creating the second blog entry, I realized that on the main blog page the last entry would show up as the FIRST entry on that page, thus giving away the ending of my book!
    Is there to a way to rearrange the blog entry pages?
    Thanks!

  • Does changing the RSS excerpt length of blog entries really work?

    Hello,
    Due to various problems[1] with the RSS feed contents that iWeb produces for blog entries I would like to limit each excerpt in the RSS feed to a small portion of the blog entry to encourage readers to visit the full post on my website. The iWeb help says that adjusting the "Excerpt Length" in the Blog portion of the Inspector will adjust the excerpt length on the blog summary page and in the RSS file. But no matter what I choose for the Excerpt Length, the text of the entire entry goes into the RSS file.
    Has anyone else had any success in limiting the contents of the RSS feed? Is this a bug in the program or in the help text?
    Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide!
    -Jason

    Sorry for replying to my own post, but I forgot to mention the problems I've had with the contents of RSS feeds of an iWeb blog:
    1. inline images don't make it to the RSS feed, just the template default image (which I know how to replace, but sometimes I want more images in a blog entry)
    2. hash characters (aka "number sign" or "pound sign" or "#") in a link URL get UTF-8 encoded to %2523 which browsers and/or servers don't seem to like. I discovered that when directly linking to a particulary .Mac Web Gallery album. The link works fine from the blog page, but not from the RSS feed. <sigh>

  • List blog entries?

    Ordinarily on a blog there is a list of all of your entries on the side of the page, but it doesn't appear that iWeb allows for this. Is there a way to make one that updates as you enter in new blog entries? I guess the blog archive would have worked, but adding the Archive page to the menu is grayed out. What does everyone else do to display all of your blog entries +(besides having all of them display on the main blog page)+ ?

    That's a shame. I can't image a reader of a blog constantly returning to the blogs home page and then also constantly clicking on the archive link At least they should allow the archive link to be added to all of the blog pages nav menu. Having the last 10 blog entries +(titles only)+ shown somewhere on each blog page would be the best way to do it. That's how Wordpress does it and their blogs are much easier to navigate. Sadly I'm getting the feeling that sooner or later i'll need to switch to using Wordpress if I want to maintain a professional looking blog. That will be sad because I really enjoy using iWeb. I don't understand why iWeb doesn't allow you to add modules to increase iWebs functionality. That's one of the main reasons why Wordpress took off and became so popular so quickly. Hope the next version of iWeb is much more robust so we can return to using it again for blogs.

  • Publishing One Blog Entry At a Time

    I am going to use my website and blog page for a class I am going to teach, and I will use my blog page to assign journal assignments. I would like to do some of these in advance, but I only want to publish one entry at a time. Does that make sense? Can I do such a thing?
    Thanks!

    I don't think you can selectively withhold the publication of blog entries — once they're created, they're all published next time you publish.
    Problems with iWeb's blog are a recurring theme on these forums and it's advisable not to use it for important projects — or perhaps for anything! ...For a success story with a non-iWeb blog hosted on WordPress, see this old thread:
    To blog or not to blog
    And to link to an external blog from iWeb's navbar:
    Create a blank internal page titled "Blog" (Actually you can name the page whatever you want.) Then in that Blog page add an HTML Snippet with the following code:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    parent.window.location = "http://www.yourblogname.com"; // change this to your own URL
    </script>
    ...Once published, clicking on "Blog" in the navbar will immediately redirect to your external Blog page. (Thanks to Cyclosaurus for the code).

  • How do I change the order of blog entries?

    How can I change the order of my blog entries? I want to add some extra items with an earlier date but iWeb won't let me drag the entries around and insists they must stay in the order of the creation date. What do I do?

    Chris...
    yeah, I'm probably not making myself clear... change the date on the podcast page entry. Select the entry you want to edit, then move your mouse down to the actual page that appears below. On that page, below the title, is a date. Change that. It will change the date published in the entry list above.

    This is the standard listing... day spelled out, Month and day number, year. iWeb has to see it in this format to make the changes above.

  • Photo problems in blog entries...

    I am having problems with photos and images displaying in blog entries. I am able to place photos in the text of my blog entries but upon publishing some will display and some won't (in any web browser or system used).
    I have tried emptying Safari caches and reloading pages but to no avail. Some photos are still missing (they are displaying as a small question mark when viewed online).
    What's worse is that reinserting the photos in iWeb and then republishing will make some of the missing photos appear on my site while others that were displaying okay previously will now be gone.
    The result is that many of my blog entries are always missing photos.
    Examples of this can be seen by clicking to view the various entries here:
    http://web.mac.com/jtbcmac/iWeb/MaiTai/MontrealTiki/Archive.html
    and here:
    http://web.mac.com/jtbcmac/iWeb/MaiTai/OtherArticles/Archive.html
    I am currently trying to reload things, so pages may or may not look ok when you view them.
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  
      Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    UPDATE:
    All seems to be fine now... after making minor changes on each of the affected pages and republishing a couple of times.
    But I have a feeling the problem will re-occur... as it has in the past... when I make a new blog entry.

  • Lost iWeb '09 Blog Entries

    I kept a number of blogs pertaining to my pregnancy and several other topics. A few months ago, I moved the blogs from my main site and created a new site I called Archive. My plan was to publish these to a folder for backup purposes, but the publish always fails.
    My larger problem is that now, the blog entries seem to be...not gone, exactly, but I can't see them. On two, the main blog page shows up, and when I click on Entries, I can see the list of my entries and their titles, but I can't scroll through them (list snaps back if I release the mouse button). I can't click on them either. One blog works just fine. One shows the main splash page, but shows only the background of the Entries page.
    iWeb won't let me move these out of my Archive site. I have been unable to publish them to MobileMe or to a folder. I've tried deleting plists, etc. but nothing works. Restoring from backup messes up my current sites.
    Help, please. I'd like to not lose these. Are these files alive somewhere?

    The entries are kept on the MobileMe server I believe and are linked to your main site. If you can move those blog sites back into your main site you might be able to get the entires back. No guarantee however.

  • In iWeb, blog entries are not appearing

    in iWeb, am entering blog entries which are appearing in the blog archive but showing up as an entry for people to see.  Any suggestions?

    Do you mean 'appearing in the blog archive but not showing up as an entry for people to see' ?
    By default iWeb limits the number of entries in a blog feed to 5; it then moves older episodes to the archive page (and out of the feed) as new entries are made. You can increase this number to 50 in the RSS section of the Inspector.
    New entries should not be appearing in the Archive, though if you were giving them older dates then they presumably would.
    Posting the URL of your blog might aid in finding a solution.

  • Iweb help - blog entries problem

    Hello,
    I am trying to create a highly customized blog in iweb '08 and so far am doing very well, all the pages look perfect over all browsers however i have tried to edit the blog entries page but am having grave difficulty, i have set the page attributes to 1300 high and 1300 wide copied over the design but now i cant move the generated blog content title and time/date above half way up the page. This is highly annoying does anyone have any idea why this might be happening?
    I removed all the content from my 'sidebar' and it let me move the content up the page as soon as i put the sidebar back it wont work
    Thanks
    Richard Howell

    it would help if we could see the messed up pages. otherwise we can only guess what's happening. my guess is that you have somehow dropped the content into the header making the header really big and thus why you can't move the blog all the way up. a way to check is to show the layout. and see if there's a grey line above where the blog is sitting.

  • How to publish blog entries without dates on Iweb?

    Hi,I'm very new to Iweb and would appreciate some help.
    Is there an option for me to post my blog entries without having to show the dates the blog entries are created on the site? I just want the titles to e shown but not the dates.. I deleted the dates on the template but after publishing, the dates still show..
    Thanks

    Have a look here to see if it will help you...
    http://roddymckay.com/Satellite/Slideshow.html
    This is done with PostCard but its the same procedure.
    You might also want to look at JAlbum...
    http://jalbum.net/
    Their "chameleon" template is very similar and allows you to create a link back to your site. Its freeware and they now offer you free server space too!
    You don't have to use "Made on a Mac" (or any other stuff) - just delete it and add your own footer with your copyright information.

  • Please help with creating more diverse iweb blog entries

    I have a blog about sports memorabilia that I use iweb for: http://www.hoopography.com. I have come to a road block in creating blog entries. I have two issues:
    1.) I would like to include more than one image for each blog. I tried to just add images and wrap text around when I create the entry in iWeb, but the images do not show up on the homepage where the blog section is located. I'm assuming I need more than one "place holder", but I have not been able to add more than one. Here is an example of another blog that has multiple images for one entry. Essentially, what I am trying to accomplish: http://offysports.blogspot.com/
    2.) I would like to add YouTube videos so that they not only appear in the individual entry, but also on the homepage where the blog section is located (Otherwise, visitors to the site need to click on the entry to even realize the image is a video. I would like readers to be able to play it right on the homepage.). I have tried to use the "YouTube Widget" to add the videos when working on the entry in iWeb, but the video appears as a still image on the homepage's blog section.
    I have some knowledge of iWeb and Macs. I have been using a Mac and iWeb to work on this blog for about 6 months now, but these 2 problems have stumped and constrained me and the blog. Please help!!!!!! Thanks You.

    I tuned the Place holder into a YouTube Video Widget, and it does display on the homepage, but it does not display as a video. It displays as a still image that the reader has to click on to access the entry and then play the video in the entry instead of playing right on the homepage.
    For the multiple images, are you saying that I can only have one placeholder? I do not follow. I want multiple placeholders for multiple images throughout the single entry (ex: http://offysports.blogspot.com/2010/05/2009-10-panini-studio-basketball.html)
    Thanks

  • Is there a blog entry limit?

    I've been searching the forums for an answer, but haven't been able to find one. Before moving from Rapid Weaver to iWeb 2.0 (my blog), I am interested in knowing whether there is a limit to the number of individual blog entries you can have in iWeb?
    Another quick question. . . the iWeb's Help Viewer says that you can add images using a media placeholder. When I insert a placeholder (and image) into a blog entry, the image shows up fine there. But none of the images show up on the summary page.
    I have made sure that the excerpt setting allows plenty of room for the image, in fact, text under the image shows up in the summary, but there's just a blank space where the image should be.
    Does the blog summary page no longer support placeholders/images within an entry?

    There is an *+iWeb '08 Getting Started Manual PDF+* on line:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iWeb08_GettingStarted.pdf
    This is on Page 16 from the above manual:
    "To add a new blog entry:
    1 In the sidebar, click Entries.
    2 Click the Add Entry button.
    The new entry appears below the Title list with placeholder text and graphics.
    3 Double-click the placeholder text to change the title and add your own text to the entry.
    4 Drag graphics from iPhoto or elsewhere on your computer to replace the placeholder graphics. (If the Media Browser isn’t open, click Media in the toolbar and then click Photos to access your photos.)
    If you make changes to a blog entry, such as changing the font or the background color, you can duplicate the entry the next time you add an entry and keep the same formatting."
    There may be more info to read that you may need!
