Dreamweaver 8 - Help Creating a Blog

A friend of mine uses RapidWeaver for Mac and he tells me it
makes it really easy to create and update his XML/RSS based blog.
How would I accomplish this using Dreamweaver? Could someone point
me in the right direction for a tutorial or provide me with help?
Thank you in advance.

Check with your host, they may already offer the free use of
a blog -
something like Wordpress, which can be installed via your
control panel.
If not, then check out these links for blog software that's
often
recommended.

  • Can Someone Please Help Me Create a Blog Reader App For My Blog?

    Hi ! I am trying to create a blog reader app by using RSS feed for my blog. I found this tutorial on MSDN here Create a Blog Reader using C# and XAML
    But the problem is, it says some parts will not work with VS 2013. I even tried to follow each step of the tutorial but get stuck with some "navigation parameter" type-casted to a class. I couldn't understand what do I replace that with as it was
    never declared earlier somewhere. Can someone help me with the code? Please, I will be very thankful.
    I am using VS 2013 Community update 4 and Windows 8.1

    Here is the code and the error i am facing. I tried my best to do other changes like styles for buttons, textblocks etc that are new in 8.1
    protected override string DetermineVisualState(ApplicationViewState viewState)
    // Update the back button's enabled state when the view state changes
    var logicalPageBack = this.UsingLogicalPageNavigation(viewState) && this.itemListView.SelectedItem != null;
    var physicalPageBack = this.Frame != null && this.Frame.CanGoBack;
    this.DefaultViewModel["CanGoBack"] = logicalPageBack || physicalPageBack;
    // Determine visual states for landscape layouts based not on the view state, but
    // on the width of the window. This page has one layout that is appropriate for
    // 1366 virtual pixels or wider, and another for narrower displays or when a snapped
    // application reduces the horizontal space available to less than 1366.
    if (viewState == ApplicationViewState.Filled ||
    viewState == ApplicationViewState.FullScreenLandscape)
    var windowWidth = Window.Current.Bounds.Width;
    if (windowWidth >= 1366) return "FullScreenLandscapeOrWide";
    return "FilledOrNarrow";
    // When in portrait or snapped start with the default visual state name, then add a
    // suffix when viewing details instead of the list
    var defaultStateName = DetermineVisualState(viewState);

  • Can I create a blog page in Dreamweaver?

    Can I create a blog page in Dreamweaver?

    Yes and no.
    You could create the design you ultimately use for third party blogging software, like a Wordpress theme, in DW, but there's nothing built into DW that can create a blog in and of itself for you, no.

  • Create a blog

    How would I create a blog? Do I need to download a program or
    is it all in Dreamweaver?
    Thanks in advance,
    M

    ThemeDreamer isn't a blog. It is just a design utility inside
    Dreamweaver used to edit the "Theme" files that make up a blogs
    design or ‘look and feel’. You use your WordPress blog
    like any other WordPress blog. You can’t tell if a WordPress
    site was built using ThemeDreamer because its just a utility to
    help edit theme files more easily. Here's the break down:
    WordPress is a content management system (program) you run on
    a webserver, it makes a 'website' with which you can interact with
    to create posts or diary entries and web pages through a
    special/hidden administration page. All the public viewable pages
    inherit a 'theme', a common look and feel consisting of a header,
    footer, menu, sidebar, etc.
    Dreamweaver is a design tool to create 'web pages' (not
    necessarily websites). A typical web page designer usually designs
    a good looking HTML page using Dreamweaver (what its good at) and
    then passes it off to a software engineer that hacks it to pieces
    to make it interactive. If you want to change the design, its
    usually too late or you have to revert back the original HTML and
    start over.
    ThemeDreamer is a utility you use inside of Dreamweaver to
    visually edit the header, footer, sidebar, etc. directly. These
    files dictate a WordPress site’s look and feel without having
    to resort back to the original HTML files. Just do a google search
    on WordPress theme files and you can find thousands of beautiful
    templates that you can download and use for free. ThemeDreamer just
    enables you to open up the thousands of free theme files so that
    you can more easily customize them in Dreamweaver by seeing them
    visually in Design View.

  • Help creating an animated gif for a navbar!!

    Hey guys, I am very new to fireworks and dreamweave and am having a problem that is making my head spin! I have to create a simple animated .gif for a navigation bar (which will be made in dreamweaver). The navigation bar should function similar to this: http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~baronson/ITI320/Exercise2/functionality.html. Essentially, all that is happening is I create this animated image and in dreamweaver, when I create the AP NavBar, I set the mouseover to that image. My problem is that in comparison to this website's mouseover image  ( http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~baronson/ITI320/Exercise2/images/navi/audience_OVER.gif ) my animated gif has multiple layers and states, where as his only has one layer. I can't seem to figure out how to include both the text, and the gif image, and incorporate them under the same layer.
    A follow up question after having found how to incorporate both into the same state, would I have to lasso out each piece of my animated gif for the individual state I want to have it applied to?
    Any help/pointer to where the information can be found would be greatly appreciated. I've read through the manuals and watched many of Babbage's videos but haven't been able to figure this out. Thanks!

    Your gif doesn't need to have multiple layers, but it does need to have multiple states. To save yourself a lot of confusion, create the animated gifs first, and then export them. Create your navbar in the usual way, with simple rolloveres or swap images. Export the navbar.Rename the animated gifs with the names of the over state of the navbar images, and then delete (or mone to another folder) the over state images of the navbar. Move the renamed gif animations into the image folder of the navbar. Preview in browser. The animated gifs should have replaced the original over state of the buttons.

  • I want to create a blog on my website but don't know where to start.

    My server is Lunarpages and they have Wordpress for creating a blog.
    Can you direct me to simple bulleted instructions on how that might interface with using my website template that is consistent for all html pages?
    I already have eBlogger.com blog but when I try to use their edit HTML feature and paste in my template code, I get an error message that the "meta" code doesn't have an end tag. They say I need to add the end tag. Here's the code they pointed to:
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type"content="text/html; charseet=iso-8859-1">
    My template works fine with my website. What do you think is happening here with eBlogger? Lunarpages forum recommends I set up with Wordpress. Trying to save time here. But if WP works better overall, I'll do it.
    I basically want these things:
    use my template so it's consistent with all pages.
    blogg not only allows me to post but also comments and automatic archiving (i.e. past 60 day)
    Have best security for blog.
    I also want to add a button that lists those social networks I post on. I am hoping it's possible to set up one blog and have what I post automatically posted on the others (i.e. Facebook, Google, eBlogger). Is that possible? An example of a link Lunarpages has:
    http://www.addthis.com/pages/toolbar-landing?utm_source=hm&utm_medium=link&utm_content=ATI EToolDL_orig&utm_campaign=ATCMIE_DL

    WordPress is in a class of it's own.  It began it's open source life as a blogging system but it has evolved into a powerful, feature-rich CMS (content management system).  In short, if you elect to use WordPress on your domain, you might just as well use it for your entire web site.
    To work with WordPress, you will need a firm understanding of HTML, CSS and how PHP includes work.
    WP requires you to set-up a dynamic work environment (see links below)
    Find a WP Theme you like that won't require much customizing on your part.

  • Create a Blog (in DW)...???

    probably a dumb question...but:
    how does one create a blog on their website...one that can be posted to by visitors to the site...???
    is this something that can be coded from scratch...or does it require the participation of the web provider...???
    thanks,

    It can be coded form scratch but it's much easier to download and install a solution like Wordpress on your hosting account.  No need to re-invent the wheel.

  • How to create a Blog in Adobe Muse

    Hi, who created a blog in Adobe Muse, help me please!

    Unfortunately, you can't create a blog in Muse, not yet anyway. I've been researching this for a long time, and you just can't do it. If enough folks ask Adobe for it, then it will probably be added to a future update. For now, the only thing you can do is get the embedd code from an actual blog like Tumblr or Nabble, and then copy that bit of code using "insert HTML" on your Muse page. That will give you a generic looking little scrolling box with your latest blog entries, but it's probably not what you're looking for.
    What I've decided to do is create a custom blog in Blogger, make it look as close to my Muse site as I can, and then just link it into my Muse site using a custom nav button. So I redirect my visitors to the Blogger site. If you customize the Blogger page enough with background images, colors, fonts, etc, your visitors may not even know they left your site unless the look in their browsers address bar.
    I hope that's helpful. But if you're not familiar with Blogger, it's through Google, it's free, and it's a great blogging platform.

    i need some FREE website templates that i can edit in dreamweaver.. help!!! anyone know where i can find good ones?

    By Template, are you looking for DW Template.dwt files?
    Dreamweaver templates: Customizable starter designs for beginners | Adobe Developer Connection
    Or pre-built CSS & HTML Layouts (starter pages)?
    For starter pages in DW, go to File > New > Blank page > HTML.
    Select a layout from the 3rd panel and hit Create button.
    Or, look at Project Seven's commercial CSS Layouts and Page packs (not free, but well worth the investment if you want a good final product).

    Or do you want Responsive Layouts that work in mobile, tablet and desktop?

  • Design option missing for Fluid Grid layouts (was:In dreamweaver CC, I created a new fluid grid page, but the options to edit the page...)

    Hi, in dreamweaver CC, I created a new fluid grid page, but the options to edit the page are limited to code / split / live. The design optin is missing and I need it to move around the fluid grid to position my elements that I have created.
    Thanks

    Hi Raymi,
    Like Ben suggested, you can vote for the feature using the link provided.  From what I understand, the product team is collecting feedback on the limitations of Live View for FG layouts and improving experience on that front. It would help if you could provide a list of limitations with the current workflow.
    Thanks,
    Preran

  • Cannot prevent authenticated users from creating a blog on "My Page"

    I have a brand new Snow Leopard (10.6.1) 2.26 Ghz quad core Xserve with 12Gb RAM that will be used for web collaboration services. I've currently set up Wiki and Blog services with a group membership to allow creating wikis/blogs. The reason for this is for staff development purposes with the plan to add people into the group as they are trained. The process to set it all up was very simple, however, I'm having an issue preventing authenticated users from creating a personal blog. Although I can prevent the creation of wiki's to members of a group easily, any authenticated user on the server can log into "My Page" and will be able to create a blog. I've gone to server admin>choose the server>choose the "access" icon and set the column "for selected services below" (blog) to "allow only users and groups below" (the group) and it still doesn't prevent them from making a blog page. In WGM for the group on the "Basic" tab, the "enable the following services for this group" has only the choice of "none" and therefore since the site isn't showing as a choice, the Wiki, Blog, Calendar and Mailing List is grayed out. I've seen another thread that states in 10.6 that option for setting the service acl in the group settings of WGM is unavailable. Does anyone know a fix for my problem of security access for a "My Page" blog or is it a possible bug in Snow Leopard? Right now my only workaround is to remove the users access and enable it as they are trained. This isn't an ideal fix, however, because we have some users who want to limit their wiki or blog to authenticated users only, not public access. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Ran into this same issue.... Talked with a field engineer who confirmed the behavior. The question now is this a defect or "feature that does not work as as the audience desires". As I far can tell, the security setting for blogs in server admin does nothing at all. This has the potential to cause a few issues as you cannot limit who can have a blog.

    Thanks for the suggestion, but that would prevent all users from creating personal blogs. I was hoping to be able to have a group of users that can create a personal blog outside of the blog attached to a wiki.

  • Using HTML file from Photoshop in Dreamweaver (Was: Help.....Newbie Here)

    Hi
    I'm new to dreamweaver. I know a bit of photoshop and wanted create a simple  website using photoshop and dreamweaver. I created a layout and sliced out the different parts and when saved as web, it created a set of image files and a html file.
    Now when I placed this html file in dreamweaver, everything got right just as I created in photoshop but when I tried to place an swf file on an image which was sliced out from the photoshop, the other images (sliced on photshop) get scrambled in dreamweaver. I tried everything but I can't understand how to place an object Even while placing text on an image file, the whole layout gets scrambled.
    Any help please. I want to place a swf file and also write a heading "radio player" above the swf file on an image in dreamweaver.
    Thanks

    Slicing the design from Photoshop will give you 'image' output - this is very bad practice. You're only supposed to slice design elements & use CSS to put them together within a webpage.
    I'd recommend you take some time out and go through this tutorial before continuing to work - http://net.tutsplus.com/articles/news/slice-and-dice-that-psd/
    This will give you a quick walkthrough of how you can re-create the PSD design using CSS for building a 'proper' website.
