Export from iweb to Wordpress

Hi
I've been running a blog via iWeb, but I've been advised to move it to something more SEO-able, and to allow log in from anywhere - Wordpress in fact.
There are quite a few entries in my blog, is there any way of exporting everything from iweb so I can import into Wordpress directly? I'd like to put all the old entries up without having to copy and paste every one.
Thanks
Nigel

Yes, if you have purchased both a domain name and hosting, then it is your server - so I have a domain name registered with hosting space from HostExcellence and that is my server space.
WordPress.org can only be loaded onto a server/hosting space as it is seen as one of the Content Management Systems's similar to Joomla and Drupal.  For this you need server space and a database and most hosting companies have automatic loading of something like WordPress.org onto the sever - you just click on install and it will all be loaded onto the server for you along with the database needed.
The difference between the WordPress.org is that as it is installed directly on your server, then it is linked directly to your own domain name so the url will be http://www.domain.com/Blog or http://www.domain.com/WordPress. The last name depends on how you choose to install it on your sever.  I have 2 blogs using WordPress.org on my server and the domain names for both are http://www.domain.com/Blog. 
With my other host, I wanted to create the whole website using WordPress, so I installed WordPress directly onto the server, so now, when you enter my domain name direclty the whole WordPress site comes up.
WordPress.org has more templates available for it and you can customise it a little more, but the great thing is that it is installed on your server directly, so no messing around with the url http://www.name.wordpress.com. It is on your own server rather than that of WordPress.

  • How do I move my blog posts from iWeb to Wordpress?

    I want to move all my blog posts from iWeb to Wordpress. Is that possible and how?

    Depending on how many posts you have, it may be best to copy and paste them into Wordpress. I don't know for sure, but I dought if there is any process that will do that automatically for you. I would have your iWeb blog (edit Mode) window open and then Create a new blog in Wordpress. Copy the iWeb title/paste into Wordpress - Copy the iWeb blog text/paste into Wordpress. It should go fast once you get the first one done because you'll do the same for all.  Hope that helps.

  • Switch from iWeb to WordPress?

              A week ago I asked about alternatives to iWeb for blogging on this forum.
    One suggestion received from Roddy was to consider software created by
    RageSW called iWeb to WordPress.
    I did explore this and chose to try it.
    Specifically, I paid $120 for one year's webhosting services.
    This included provision of a domain and installation of WordPress
    at my new website.
              My reaction so far is mixed for the following reasons:
    1. My current weblog, a health-related blog, consists of a welcome page,
    which is fixed, and four pages on which I place posts to diverse audiences
    every few months as appropriate to the on-going health story.
    2. In WordPress terms, these four pages are considered four separate blogs.
    3. When iWebtoWrdPrs is used on the files published to a local folder, they
    must be broken into four separate blogs. The result was that all 28 posts
    from my four pages wound up in one WrdPrs blog.
    4. To separate these back into "four groups", I chose the names of my iWeb
    pages to create four WordPress "categories", which can be displayed in the
    blog page sidebar. Then, I assigned each post to its related category.
    I consider this marginally satisfactory and certainly neither elegant, nor
    user-friendly.
    5. The navigation menu at the top of the page looks like the one iWeb
    produces, but it accommodates several fixed pages and one blog page
    with all the posts. This seems to make sense for commercial entities;
    for me it seems clumsy and rigid.
    6. To use the software one must be using iWeb3.0.x.
    7. On the plus side, the staff at RageSW have been very responsive and
    helpful.
              In the short term I will continue using iWeb; my MobileMe subscription
    runs thru next June. RageSW also offers hosting for iWeb publishing if you
    want to experiment with your own domain. There are many tutorials on
    WordPress available on-line and a good support community. Maybe I'll find
    a satisfactory way to implement my blog in WordPress down the road.

    Yes, if you have purchased both a domain name and hosting, then it is your server - so I have a domain name registered with hosting space from HostExcellence and that is my server space.

  • How to publish from iWeb to Wordpress

    I want to take the advantage of those beautiful design sofware to create an amazing blog for my wordpress account. But I run into problem of not know how to do it and I do not want to live in the restriction of wordpress has for me on the web design.

    There's no know method to conver an iWeb blog, design wise, to a wordpress blog.  Rage software, however, has offered an application that can export the entries and comments of a current iWeb blog for use in an wordpress blog.

  • Podcast won't export from Garageband to iWeb

    Hi all
    Help appreciated with this. I do a two hour music podcast (www.whatyouwantradio.com also available at http://soundcloud.com/whatyouwant-radio) which is created in Garageband and then exported to iWeb for uploading to my website. I've been running this, with few problems, since April 2009.
    Recently the garageband podcast won't export to iWeb. It's random, and I seem to have been able to bypass it by changing the filename slightly, or adjusting the quality at which it is exported (I like to export at 320mps for best quality - big files but no complaints from the 100 or so listeners. Could be more - who knows as I can't get stats from iTunes. But I digress). However, the most recent podcast, which is already available on Soundcloud, just won't export. It goes through the motions (mixdown etc.) but nothing appears on iWeb on the other side. No error message, nothing. I know that memory has also been an issue in the past but right now there is plenty to spare (5.37GB at last glance).
    I'd really be grateful for some help on this, I'm at a bit of a loss - no error message, no clue. As I say, this podcast has been going for nearly three years and it's only recently I've had this problem.
    Cheers,

    Just a further note on this. I tried a couple more times yesterday to export the file. Starting out with over 5GB of memory, by the time I had tried twice this had gone down by a couple of GB. Still no export. This morning I noticed some new files in the trash that were from around the time of the failed exporting:
    Note sure if you can see that, but I'm guessing the files are something to do with the failed export? Does anyone have any thoughts? Either way, this problem is still annoying the **** out of me...

  • All I have are exported folders from iWeb. How do I import them back. Don't have extension.

    A computer was fried. We didn't copy the extension from iWeb for the website, but we did export all of the folders for each website inside iWeb. The computer had to be restored to factory settings. The website is published on Go Daddy, and all the files are accessible, I'm unable to load it into iWeb. Any suggestions? How do I get these files back into iWeb so that I can manage the websites again?

    You can't. iWeb can't read or import HTML files, only create them.  So, without the Domain.site file you'll have to recreate the website from scratch. 
    However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on how to use some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the creation of the new site.

  • Best settings to Export from FCP to iWeb?

    In the past I have exported from FCP to a QT that I import into iMovie and then export from iMovie to iWeb...
    is there a simpler way to get video to iWeb?
    I prefer not to edit in iMovie, so what FCP settings are best for iWeb? I'll ask this on the FCP board as well.
    Thanks

  • Pdf-file with clickable links from iweb 09

    How can I create a pdf-file with clickable links from a website created in iweb 09?
    All iwork apps have an export button, which fulfills this task, but iweb does not.
    Any idea?

    I am running 10.5.6 on a MacBook Pro 2.53 GHz. I create my PDFs via the print dialogue. I tried to create a PDF from iweb with Hyperlinks activated and all links are dead. I tried to create the PDF from the Safari window, were all links are active, and – funny enough – sometimes all, sometimes half of my links are dead. But most of them do not work. As soon as I create PDFs from third party sites, everything works fine.

  • Commenting in pdf exported from IDCS4

    Seems like I remember something about now IDCS4 allows exported pdfs to be commented and then have the edits imported back into InDesign OR did I dream that?
    We have two people who will be marking up the pdf document exported from IDCS4. Then most of the edits will go back to the authors who have Acrobat 8.0 or Reader.  Some of the edits will come back to the InDesign person to make the changes.  He will get those changes in Word and pdf commenting.
    Is there an efficient method to make these changes?

    I don't think there is any integration like that with PDFs, the markups would have to be done by hand.
    You would have to -
    Use Incopy
    Export the Text as RTF and let them go at it in Word
    Use 3rd party software http://www.rorohiko.com/wordpress/indesign-downloads/storytweaker/
    Or something else

  • Iphoto slideshow exported for iweb viewed by windows

    I have been trying to publish an iphoto slideshow that I had exported as a movie for weeks. My mac people can see it, my PC family members cannot! I tried to make it small for the web, changed the filename to mp4 from mpv4, but PC people still could not see it. So I tried to put the slideshow movie in as a huge .mpeg and it disappeared. ( I had made an avi file but it looked horrible so used the equally as large but better ,mpeg)
    I am getting the idea that it can only be done with imovie! Is than an authoritative step by step on iphoto 08,quicktime pro, and Iweb so I can put all these things together?

    Don't use the Finder to change the file extension. Not only is it folly but it breaks the links used in your iWeb page code.
    Don't use AVI. It is a dead container discontinued by its authors (Microsoft) years ago.
    Don't use MPEG-1 (1991 format).
    Default exports from iPhoto to QuickTime formats use the newer H.264 video codec which requires any machine (Mac or PC) have QuickTime version 7 installed. If they can't install version 7 they can't view your file.

  • Photos Distorted When Exported to iWeb Slideshow

    I'm using the button within iPhoto to export a photo album to iWeb and then publish it to a folder that I upload to my web site. Unfortunately, the photos are pixelated in slide show mode. If I click on the photo to get it out of the slide show screen and enlarge it, it looks fine. Are there issues with resizing photos? I typically do 5x7 in iPhoto.
    A good example is the middle photo in the second row titled "Hot Bodies". The edges of the white lettering and graphics looks horrible in slideshow.
    http://www.dennisvogel.com/photos/USGP2005.html
    One thing I've noticed is that it looks much worse on my Windows machine than on my Mac. Both using Firefox.
    Thanks for any help.

    Thanks for replying Terence. I've seen the problem on Mac and Windows, using Firefox or Safari. I've tried some other methods, but gotten similar results:
    * Using Aperture to publish from a gallery template
    * Using iPhoto to export a photo album to iWeb which I publish to a folder
    * Publishing from iWeb to .Mac web page
    * Publishing from iWeb to a .Mac Web Gallery
    - Here is another example
    Are there issues with resizing photos? I typically do 5x7 in iPhoto, but have read Apple services are optimized to 800x600?
    Tried posting to the iPhoto, iWeb, and Aperture forums, but no progress yet.

  • Can I publish to blogger from iWeb?

    I want to publish from iWeb but I don't want to pay for a website, and I'm only going to blog for a couple of months while I am on vacation. Any Thoughts?

    No you can't.
    Blogger is Google's blog and it is free, so sign into Google and you can create a blog for free directly there.
    Your other alternative is to use http://www.wordpress.com.  This is also a free blogging service and if you are on vacation, you will be able to update it from any terminal you can get to - a PC or a Mac and you can do this online.  Once you don't need the blog anymore you can delete it from the WordPress servers and that's it.  You don't need to pay for a website.
    Don't use the iWeb blog as it is too restrictive to use whilst travelling - just use either Google's blogger or WordPress.com at source, with both being free.

  • Wish to post KeyNote file as pdf. Export from KN to iW not working

    Wish to post KeyNote file as pdf. Export from KN to iW not working - get blank screen. Tried to upload PDF to mobile me and link to that file - also didn't work. I'm not familiar with iFrames but have read about them in this forum - is that my only option? Why wouldn't a KN export work?
    Thanks, Brian

    I have just tried this with a test site and publishing to a folder and it does work perfectly for me.
    I had a Keynote document already so all I did was click on File and then selected the Print option. I then selected the save as pdf option the the pdf document was created on my desktop instantly.
    All I then did was open iWeb and type some words in a text box My Prices. I then highlighted My Prices and opened the Inspector and went to Hyperlink and clicked on the option Hyperlink to a file. I then selected the pdf file from my desktop.
    I then used ftp to a folder on my desktop and when I opened the appropriate page, I click on the words My Prices and the pdf file opened straight away.
    As OT has suggested, check that you have linked to the correct file. If it does not work, either you have not created the pdf correctly or at all or you have not linked to the correct file.
    As I said, it worked for me.

  • Using Movie Score and Exporting to iweb

    Hi all
    I had previously editing with imovie, and exported the film to iweb no problem, just dragging into the iweb movie page. Now I'm gone over to adding sound effects and music in garageband ("movie score") and have nearly completed the project. I may be being very dim, but I am having problems exporting the film now in a way that iweb likes. I went to Preferences, and changed the export settings, and one time it came out really low quality, the next I got a warning the film would be too big for many web viewers.
    Is there an easy, foolproof way to export, like in imovie? Thanks in advance. Hope question makes sense.

  • Exporting from Finalcut6 to Compressor

    hello everyone
    i want to put a 14min DV clip on my iweb Site. I have edited in Finalcut 6 and have exported to compressor directly from timeline.
    i chose the H.264 300kbs Streaming option. I got a 21.7 mg file
    I dont like the quality though. I cannot change the paramaters in the Inspestor?
    How can i improve the quality of my compressed video?
    What is the difference if i export from FinalCut to Quicktime and change the paramaters there, like
    frame rate, bit rate etc
    I see beautiful video quality on the web and im trying to improve mine. I know it has to do with the original source footage codec plus the compression settings
    Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    thanks
    Danny

    i actually tried 800kbs and it looked a little better but when i posted it on my
    iweb it didnt open so i thought it might be too big 65mg.
    i know i should be trying different parameters I would like to increase the dimensions of the clips view
    i was trying to change it in compressor but it didnt let me?
    thanks
