Font problem in excerpts on blog page

Hi everyone!
When I create a new blog entry, the font style that I choose is fine on the entries page, but not reflected in the excerpt on the main blog page. This wouldn't be a problem except that I and many of my readers are sight-impaired, and the font that won't change is very, very pale. I've tried everything I can think of to rectify this, but no luck! Is this something that I'm doing wrong?

Patricia,
I downloaded and modified your Blog.css file, you can download it here:
http://www.geocities.com/[email protected]/landis_mdi/Blog.css
I changed the font and made the font color darker. You need to do:
1) Locate your Blog.css file in your iDisk, it should be in Blog_files folder.
2) Rename the current Blog.css file to ~Blog.css. In case you would like to reverse the change.
3) Place the modified Blog.css file in Blog_files folder.
Open your main Blog.html and refresh the page to see if that's what you like.

  • Email link - link problem on events and blog pages

    I added a email link on a master page - link works properly on all except blog pages and events pages -
    on these pages it links to http://www.h2oonstone.com/mailto:[email protected]  which brings up a bad request
    the link on my celebration page works Celebration | Water on Stone Productions | Art, Music, Magic
    but on the individual events pages they don't - example National Wildlife Day -
    also doesn't work on blog main Water on Stone Watershed
    or on the individual pages  Smoothie Love | Watershed | Water on Stone Productions

    Hi Sanjit -
    The workaround works - but - I had to fix it on the events and e-commerce templates too - and the error template as well.
    The problem is is that every time I make a change and upload the muse file I will have to modify these html pages and that is unsustainable… way too much work as I will be modifying the pages frequently till I have site completed.
    Also strange - on the Blog pages that when I reimplemented the email link (on the master page)  that the normal state does not remain white but defaults to a black - which I suspect has to do with the link default states. I haven't been able to fix this today.
    All the other buttons - with links off-site maintain the states and links work.
    Thanks, Ann

  • Font goes gray on main blog page...

    My entries become a monotone color on the main blog page. Underlined font, doesn't get displayed as underlined on the main page. Anyone know how to fix this? Ideally I just want people to be able to read my blog on the main page without having to click "read more"--so I display the whole article length on the main page. Any tips on this and other subjects related to displaying your whole blog on the main page would help.

    Really a bit lost now.
    You've got me with the length slider, please tell me where I'm supposed to be looking, this would be helpful to me. But the reason I am a little lost is that you said you want the whole entry in your main blog page and complaining because you couldn't do it, now you say you can.
    Also, I don't doubt you have seen websites with non linked text underlined, but that doesn't mean it is proper protocol.

  • Publish error (blog page)

    Hi
    I added a blog page to my site. I checked the box "allow comments" in the inspector. I tried publishing several times but keep getting the same error message (the problem file being the blog page):
    "An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/Sites/Site2/JellyBeans/Entries”. Try publishing again later."
    I went back in and unchecked "allow comments" and my site published without any problems.
    I repeated the process with the same results.
    Any help please?

    Where are you publishing your site to - MobileMe or elsewhere?

    I am running Snow Leopard. Transferring the same texts to TextEdit has no problems, so this is a Pages problem, I think.  Corruption of Times New Roman and Arial fonts, I suspect, but where? and what do I do about it? I just need to be pointed to a source of advice, I think.

  • Tibetan Font Problem in Pages for iPhone/iPad

    There is a problem in typing Tibetan in Pages for iOS (iPhone, iPod, iPad). More specifically, when we are typing conjunction Tibetan letters, it will sometimes omit the root letter or the upper letter. For example, in the picture, the last second words should be སྐྱོན་ཤོར་བ། སྐྱོན་ཤོར་བ། but it became ྱོན་ཤོར་བ། སྐྱོན་ཤོར་བ།
    When we copy/paste the letter from other sources such as online Tibetan writings/IM/email, it will have no problem.
    Hope you will help solve the problem.Thank you.

    I think you need to report this to Apple via

  • How can I change the fonts and layout of the blog?

    I would like to change the font and font size of my blog. How can I do that so that it stays that way for each new post?

    I can't seem to find a way to change the font in the main blog page in iWeb itself... So that's how iWeb blogs normally behave... They don't take the font settings you put in in the entry and they display only one image.
    The first (main) Blog page is thought of being an index page and not an actual page where people read the whole post. It's just a page that shows people how many and which entries there are. Then people choose to read the entry by clicking on it.
    You might think of reducing the size of the pictures and the length of the text excerpts. So that people click to read more and see the whole entry with all images.
    If you don't like the idea of the index blog page and people going into the entry to read you might think of using something else than iWeb to blog...
    Regards,
    Cédric

  • Where do I change the color of this text in the blog page?

    I'm trying to add a blog page to my non-template iWeb site. On the Main Page, I'm unable to change the color of the font in the hyperlinks, where the default reads "Day of Longboarding" and "Read more…". I don't know what I might be overlooking. Any pointers? Thanks…

    That's not something iWeb has a menu item for.  However with the proper javacode you can change a lot about the navbar. This deoo page describes how: Change Navbar Text and Background Color.

  • Blog page no longer works, mp3 now mov

    I recently changed computers to a new iMac. After updating my podcast/blog using iWeb 2.0.4, at least three problems have occurred:
    1. some (not all) of my .mp3 files appear .mov files at iTunes
    2. the archive of the podcast page no longer works
    3. the blog page doesn't work
    When you click on the blog page, it returns this error message:
    # Exception: TypeError
    # Message : Value undefined (result of expression $(parent).select) is not object.
    # File : BlogSummary.js, Line:147
    http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=286040700
    http://www.godwhisperers.com/TheGodWhisperers/Home/Home.html

    OK. Here's what I did based on the recommendations above:
    1. I reconverted all the audio files with VBR. This seems to have stopped the conversion of .mp3 files to .mov video files.
    2. I reconstructed my blog. In hindsight, this may not have been necessary in view of #3.
    3. I published the site using File<Publish All to MobileMe. This took a LONG time; best leave it for an overnight exercise if you try this at home.
    Upon awakening in the morning, lo and behold my site and its archives had returned! The only thing that didn't work was my iTunes link, which returned the news that my podcast was not available in the US store. I was using the short link as per the tech spec:
    <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://">http://www.itunes.com/podcast?id=286040700
    This one works, however::
    http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=286040700
    So it appears that Publish All is the trick when moving up to iWeb 2.0 from 1.0. And VBR seems to keep audio files as mp3 files, for reasons I do not understand. Thank goodness this was a relatively new podcast site with only 12 episodes.
    If anyone has an explanation for the iTunes glitch above, I'd be most appreciative. I'm going to keep this thread alive until I post another episode to see what happens.
    Thanks for the help so far.

  • HT1338 Font Problems with Snow Leopard

    I'm having font problems after updating to Snow Leopard.  It seems to have problems with spacing the fonts properly and reading some fonts properly in Page and Keynote.  Any suggestions of how to fix it?

    Dear Kurt,
    in bigger companies thinks come slow :-)  Actually we are switching from 10.4.11 with Quark 6.52 and FontReserve to 10.6.8 with Adobe CS5 and FontBook.
    And as you may guess we're running directly into the HelveticaNeue problem.
    We cleaned up the system fonts so that only the absolutly needed are in /Sys/Lib/Fonts/ and all other fonts (from MacOS and our own) are in /Lib/Fonts/ where they are in folders for better handling.
    The number of additional fonts were radically stripped down to the REALLY needed (about 70 fonts with their families).
    We removed the protected fonts and replaced Helvetica, HelveticaNeue, Times, Symbol and ZapfDingbats with PS Type1 fonts.
    Our goal was to have no font conflicts to keep our users save. In addition we put fonts in predefinded collections to switch them on/off with an AppleScript that picks the collection name.
    And from here it went fancy: The Apple apps are working fine but external app like Adobe CS5 and MS Office only see the fonts in /Sys/Lib/Fonts/.
    When we put the HelveticaNeue.dfont back (no matter if it's in the system or at ~/Lib/Fonts/) the other apps also get all installed fonts. We found out that this works even if the HelveticaNeue.dfont is deactivated.
    Unfortunately this brings up two problems:
    The HelveticaNeue.dfont can't be put to a font collection without taking the corresponding font from the Type1 font with it, so it's more difficult to handle with the AppleScript (we have to pick the exact single name).
    The second is that if something goes wrong and all fonts are switched to active we have a font conflict and the possibility that the dfont is used in documents.
    I think I have read all (ok, many :-) of your posts about the Helvetica problem in 10.6 as well as your really great document about font handling in OS X.
    But I wasn't able to get it to work.
    Do you have the one big hint for me???
    Thanks and best regards...      Udo

  • Font problem in Classic

    I posted this over in the Classic forum...but it's rather dead over there and I fear it may not be seen for a while...so here's the problem...
    I'm running Quark 4 in Classic and having trouble with fonts. Though the fonts are on my computer, and in the OS 9 fonts folder, they won't print correctly. If I use the same printer and print from Quark on my old iMac (running OS 9) the fonts print and look fine.
    I read another thread in this forum that mentioned the fonts must be OS 9 fonts (and must not have been run through suitcase or a similar managing program???). So, on the off chance that my husband or I just took OS X fonts and copied into the OS 9 folder, I copied the OS 9 fonts from the iMac (I just grabbed everything in the Frutiger family, as it was one that I had an issue with) and then dumped them into the OS 9 fonts folder on my iBook. I restarted Classic mode in order to make the fonts available to the OS and then printed again. The font still prints all pixeled-looking.
    Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Do I need to find the original font disc and install them from the disc?
    Any help would be most appreciated!!!!!

    Hi Diane,
    Glad that the tip helped to "solve" the font problem!
    Not sure why you are printing the file info at the bottom of the page. It does sound as if it is a print setting somewhere though. Hopefully someone has a clue for you.
    Again, thanks for the "solved" star and if I can think of something else for you to try I'll post back. Let us know if you figure it out.
    good luck,
    littleshoulders
    edit:
    "In lieu of an answer...I tried changing the paper size to legal and it's not on the last copy I printed."
    Ooops, I misread your reply, and see that by changing the paper size it corrected the issue.

  • Blog page in iweb site not responding or linking like other pages

    Hi
    This is a new issue for me. I have multiple pages that I created in my iweb site through my personal domain ... studio8films.net
    All page hyperlinks will work properly, but the BLOG page seems to stall and when I look at the bottom of the window it is trying to access www.me.com where ALL THE OTHER PAGES show the access to web.mac.com
    Can someone tell me why this is the case? It doesn't make sense. And it is a new issue.

    Furthermore ...
    When the BLOG page finally loads, I click on the 'add comment' and a message comes up that says 'We're sorry. We are having a problem processing your request.
    Is there something going on with mobile.me and iweb blog pages or is there something wrong on my end?

  • Photos in text of blog entry do not port to main blog page

    I have posted before about the photos from my entry page disappearing when ported to my main blog page. I have yet to find a solution so I'm asking for help again.
    I'm am trapped using iWeb 1.1 until I find a solution. I use the Modern Template with modifications. Usually I delete the snowboarding surfer placeholder. Please note I'm not concerned that this photo doesn't port. I don't want it to. I do however need the photos that I have embedded via text wrap within my blog entry to port to the main blog page. They do not.
    I have tried keeping the snowboarder place holder and redoing entries with wrapped text, but my additional photos are still missing. I have checked the box in iWeb 2 that says show photos. My layouts conveted to iWeb 2 look perfect on the entry's page, and horrible with missing photos on the summary page.
    This problem is beyond frustrating. My blog can be seen here, however it is still the iWeb 1.1 format.
    http://web.mac.com/knittsings/iWeb/knittsings/knittsings/knittsings.html
    As you can see, almost all my entries have numerous photos. I want them to display on the main blog page.
    Am I missing something very basic? I have seen others with this same question but no one seems to have had any luck resolving this problem.
    Thanks,
    Kathryn

  • Blog page issues in IE

    I'm using iWeb and .mac to create a video game website. I put the game reviews and description on my blog pages. Recently people have informed me that they can only see half of my review page when using Internet Explorer. I have tried 3 different PCs and ran into the same problem. They were able to view them before, but for some reason now IE chops the page. I can view the pages just fine using Firefox on the PC. I had the ability for visitors to leave comments, but removed it thinking that was the cause. No luck with that one. Could somebody HELP!!

  • Could an iWeb blog page be modified to...

    ...parse wordpress entries so that they appear "iWeb'sh" even though being created and maintained in Wordpress?

    I'm having similar problems with the automatic RSS Feed link that the iWeb blog page uses.
    I also figured I could create my own custom RSS icon/link for the page, but that still doesn't resolve the issue for the RSS Feed link that is automatically generated by the Firefox or Safari browsers I'm online with a MobileMe Support rep now (crossed fingers)
