FINALLY!! Google has my iWeb site listed now but my question is...

in order to find my website http://www.ericseals.com
one has to search for ericseals (with no space inbetween). I assume most people would type in Eric Seals (with space inbetween) but it does not find the site that way.
Any comments or advice on how to correct this problem if there is one is appreciated. Thanks in advance. Take care
Eric

Actually, if you do a search for "eric seals" (with the space and in quotes) you're right there at the top at http://www.sportsshooter.com/ericseals/ and, since I'd imagine that site gets lots of hits, that helped a lot with getting you onto google.
Even without the space and the quotes, you get to SportsShooter which will end up at your site which is still a good thing.
So, it's not really not too big of a problem!

Where has my iWeb site gone?

I had my iWeb site loaded onto my iDisk on my MobileMe account, and when I tried to access it, I was informed that MobileMe has ceased to exist, but that I could transfer all my MM files onto iCloud... I followed the instructions, but can't see my website files anywhere there.
In another (unrelated) problem, I can't find my local version of the iWeb site I had created... Can anyone help?
Thanks

Do you still have your website available when you launch iWeb? If so you don't need the published files from your iDisk. Just publish the site to a folder on your hard drive.
If iWeb doesn't open with your website in it then look in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. However, with Lion read the following:
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 Google Analytics with iWeb site

Is it possible to use Google Analytics with an iWeb site? They have code they want me to put before the </body> tag.... and I can't find that tag. How do I get the code to show in iWeb? Can I insert this with an HTML snippet?
Thanks!

Hello ruralart,
After saving the automator workflow as a Finder Plugin,
mount you iDisk in the finder (ex. click on the iDisk icon in the left pane of a Finder window),
goto the folder iDisk / Web / Sites , select this folder "sites",
control-click on the folder to run the “Add Google Analytics” workflow.
Note : when you have iDisk Sync = ON, you'll see that the folder "web" is an alias so Automator will not work in this situation. You'll have to turn iDisk Sync OFF.
Kind regards,
Leo

When going to my hometown paper's site I get a dropdown banner that says Firefox has prevented this site from reloading ,but when I click on the allow button you have on the banner nothing happens so why is the button there?

When I go to the local paper's from Elmira,NY and some other sites I get a drop down banner at the top of the page that tell me Firefox has prevented this page from reloading,but when I go to the allow button that you put on the right side of the banner and click on it the banner goes away and then it comes right back. It will come back every time you click allow until I click on the x box. So I want to know why is the allow button there if it does nothing?

Click the Firefox button, go to Options | Options | Advanced and in the General tab, remove the checkmark from "'''Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page'''".
You won't get that dropdown banner anymore afterwards.

Iweb site, listing in search engine looks bizarre??

How do I change what appears in the search listing, I get this below:(

It appears to be picking up info from my menu... Why is this?
thanks

Roddy is right. You are not giving the search engines enough content to display in the search results. This can be fixed by a better title tag, as well as adding a decent description.
To do this, download iWeb SEO Tool, as Roddy has mentioned. http://www.ragesw.com/products/iweb-seo-tool.html
Here is a video which shows you how to use this application. http://apptorial.com/how-to-use-rage-softwares-iweb-seo-tool/
I would also recommend the iWeb SEO Video walkthrough which will teach you everything you need to know about your site and search engine optimization.

Iweb site working great but blog not showing in Google Search

Not sure how to get my iweb blog to show up in Google searches. I am using iweb seo tool, and all my other pages on the site are searchable on Google, but the blog entries are not. It's been a month or more. Is this something that's happening on the blog pages only because I"m using my ftp and not publishing through mobileme? Not necessary that I have comments, but I would like the blog entries to be searchable. Thanks!

iWeb SEO Tool allows you to add the title tag and meta descritption for the Google entry...

To get the spiders to this info you need to give them a sitemap with all the URLs to crawl. Blog HTML files are buried in a sub folder so you need to provide the path.

Google has captured firefox, all pages now google.

Very recently I downloaded the new Firefox and was cruising along just fine until yesterday when Google captured Firefox. Now all the items at the top of the page are Googles instead of Firefox. I went to Mozilla in an attempt to contact these people and they hide behind miles of bs. Right now I started with a Firefox page and it is now Google. What the heck is up with this? How do I get Firefox and it stays Firefox?

So, is this your home page that has changed to Google? Can you maybe take a screenshot ([http://www.wikihow.com/Take-a-Screenshot-in-Microsoft-Windows http://www.wikihow.com/Take-a-Screenshot-in-Microsoft-Windows]) that shows the problem? If this is your home page, please read [[How to set the home page|How to set the home page]].

IWeb site still uploaded but not in iWeb on my Mac

Hi everyone,
I am hoping for a simple fix. I've just opened iWeb. I've used it successfully for a couple of small sites of mine for about 18 months.
Strangest thing......There is no sign of any of my sites in iWeb. Thankfully the sites are still "live" on the net, but how on earth do I suck them back down to iWeb?

Fabulosity wrote:
Found the files on iDisk. Have been able to download them in one file called "Web". Where do I put that file?
Put it wherever you like — as has already been mentioned above:
iWeb cannot import an already published site.
iWeb's Domain file is normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). Unless you changed its name, it will be called "Domain". Via Spotlight's magnifying glass icon at upper right of your screen, try searching for:
.site
...and see what shows up in the drop-down list of hits. Note that any files which may be a Domain file won't be displayed as filename.site — rather they'll be displayed simply as filename, where filename could be anything you've perhaps renamed the original Domain file to be.

Hosting my iweb site on GoDaddy, but not everything works

I uploaded my site (built in iWeb) to GoDaddy. When I view my site via .mac, everything looks and works as it is supposed to. When I went to my website after hosting it on GoDaddy, everything looked good and worked except for 3 minor things. Here are the 3 troubles I had. Any help on how to fix them is appreciated.
1) One of my pages when clicked on says "page not found". It shows up though when I view it via .mac.
2) I have three posts on my blog page, but only 2 of them show when clicked. The other one tells me "page can't be found"
3) The search field I have on my blog page does not show up. It does who up when I view my website via .mac.

I fixed the "page not found" problem. I ended up just making a new page from scratch.
Now my only unsolved issue is the search field doesn't show up. Maybe it is only available on .Mac?!
I also noticed on my blog that the comments doesn't show either. I did set it up to allow comments. When viewed via .Mac, the comments area is there. When I view my site after publishing to GoDaddy, it doesn't show that comments are allowed. I only noticed this because a friend who visited my site told me to put a comments section on my blog and I said that I did have one. It ain't showing up, though. Anyone know if there is a fix for this?

Import sites to a Mac that already has created its own iWeb sites

Working different places I have been using iWeb on 3 different Macs. On these Macs I have created different iWeb sites, and now I would like to merge them all onto one computer, so that I can work with all of my iWeb sites from the same location. I have tried to find a way to import the sites from the other computers which I have backed up onto an external harddisk, but there doesn't seem to be any. I can easily enough move the content produced on one computer to another but that just deletes the iWeb content on the computer I am moving it to which is no good as I want to keep it.
And now we are at it: Is there a way to publish just one of the sites created in iWeb, so that you don't have to publish all seven of them every time you alter or update one of the sites?

As Wyodor mentioned iWebSites may be what you want. If your 3 sites are separate files then iWS is just the ticket IMO. Rename the three domain.sites2 files with the actual site name: site2,sites2, site2.sites2 and site3.sites2. Put them all in your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb file and launch iWebSites. From there is pretty self explanatory.
I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.

My site doesn't show in the site listing sidebar

According to iWeb help, "Your websites are stored in one file called “Domain” on your computer. You can copy this file to another computer as a backup or to work on your site from another location."
When I open the file I've always opened to work on my site, called Domain.sites2, I am brought to the "choose a template for your webpage" window in iWeb.
In the site listing in the sidebar, where I used to see my site listed, I see only one item, "Site," with a downward pointing arrow next to it. If I choose a template for my page just so I can get out of the dialog, I see "Welcome" Listed under "Site" in the site listing pane, but still not my site. Of course the main layout pane doesn't show my site either.
When I close out without saving and preview the Domain.sites2 file with QuickLook, it shows a thumbnail of the site I am trying to access. The filesize is 6.4 MB. I tried using Time Machine to restore a version of Domain.sites2 from last year, but when opened, that also doesn't show my site in the site listing sidebar.
How do I access my site?

Can I have some iWeb sites on one computer & some on another?

I've been using iWeb to creat both personal and business sites for myself. I've got about six sites and I'd like to control the business ones from my work computer and my personal ones from my home computer. Can I do this? I had copied the files over so that both machines had the same data and I just deleted the personal pages from my work machine. When I went to quit out of iWeb it asked me if I wanted to publish my site which set off a light in my head. Only then did it occur to me that it was going to attempt to republish everyting, this time deleting my personal sites from my .Mac account because this (my work) computer no longer has my personal sites on it. Can someone help? Is there a way to do what I want to do?
Thanks,
Ben

Benjamin,
Yes, you can do what you are looking to do, but it will take a little time and effort to get it set up correctly. You are right that publishing from your work machine will delete your personal sites right now, but that can be fixed fairly easily. I'll walk you through the steps here, but I'd also encourage you to read through ApNewbie's domain splitting guide, too. (and be sure to read my notes at the end before starting this process!)
1.) Copy your domain sites file both of your computers and put them in a safe place.
2) If your iDisk is the desktop of either computer, unmount it.
3) "Publish All" from your work computer. This will delete your home site, but we'll fix that before we are done.
4) On your home computer, delete the work sites from iWeb, then "Publish All" from your home computer. This will delete your work site, but we'll fix that, too.
5) From your work computer, "Publish All" again.
6) From your home computer, "Publish All" again.
7) Check your sites from your browser (don't forget to clear the cache before doing so!)
8) If all is well, you are done; if they still don't all show up, do one more round of "Publish All," and you should be set to go.
9) From here on out, you should be able to use the regular "Publish to .mac" process
Note that the site that shows up at your "short" url (web.mac.com/username) will be the most recently updated site. If this is an issue for you, there are at least two options:
1)create a one-page site in each domain.sites file (home and work) with links to all your sites. Make sure to give this site a different name in each file. (e.g. "siteindexwork" and "siteindexhome." For an example of a site index, look here.
2) follow ApNewbie's directions for domain splitting and on each machine create a separate domain.sites file with just a site index and publish anytime you publish one of the other websites. (Note that if you create this index by copying your other file and deleting existing websites in it you need to do another double round of "Publish All" to get everything up and running.)

Re-building iWeb site from deployed website?

Hi,
As described in my earlier post (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1249767), I managed to lose some files during an aborted effort to upgrade to Leopard. Included were my iWeb sites. Now the sites themselves are still available on the internet, so theoretically, I could go through and re-create the iWeb site by hand.
I'm not really looking forward to doing this, as you can imagine, so I'd like to know if there's any way to re-create the iWeb files based on the website itself.
I was using iWeb 1.0 at the time, but I now have the new version that came with iLife '08 if that makes a difference.
Thanks.
Ben

Maybe I should have been a bit clearer. I realise the iWeb site format is different from the live version. What I was wanting to know was whether there is a way to convert the live version to something that iWeb would understand. I don't know if such a reverse-engineering tool exists, but that's what I had in mind.

FINALLY!! Google has my iWeb site listed now but my question is...
