Has anyone tried editing an iWeb site with Contribute or Dreamweaver?

Before iWeb, I liked using Adobe Macromedia Contribute to edit the.Mac homepages. I've been giving iWeb a spin, and it seems to occupy the same place in Apple's stable as the rest of its siblings — a pre-pubescent version of Contribute, which is a subset of Dreamweaver.
I haven't yet tried it, but it seems as if the iWeb templates would be a good starting point, and Contribute/Dreamweaver would be great tools to polish the site.
I'm still confused, though, as to what the .Mac WebDAV URLs are...that's the thing that always tripped me up. Dreamweaver 8 is a better at site management, it seems, but if anyone could post a "definitive" guide on using a third-party tool, it would be much appreciated.

yes you can use other websoftware to modify iweb sites either after it is on the webserver or if you save it to a folder before publishing.
I tried the demo of Dream weaver and it worked fine..also I used Rapidweaver which works too. Heck you could use anything that can edit HTML which is really just a text file.
The problem with iweb is it is using those stupid PNG files which are big and to make it worse it duplicates all your images rather than having them in a shared folder you can end up with dozens of the same image which when someone visits your site and changes pages it has to download the same image again!
pretty crazy stuff.
iweb looks nice and as long as people are viewing it with broadband you'd be ok but dialup users are "toast" even on a simple site.
I got the demo of rapidweaver which is not as intuiative but in someways is more complete and have done a 3 page site.. others are developing themes for it and also there are plugins which add alot of functionality.
at $35 USD it is cheap and if you go to http://www.screencastsonline.com there are 3 videos to show you how to use it and a discount code.
I personally thing iweb is great but has some design flaws that will need to be delt with.

    Has anyone tried M-Audio ProjectMix IO with Logic?
    I know M-Audio's drivers have had issues, but it looks interesting.

    The Fishman Triple Play is simply the best hardware option to date for triggering external MIDI whether hardware sound modules or software instruments.
    Having used many MIDI guitar converters since '89, I can say that the FTP tracking is very accurate and velocity dynamics are reasonably wide from soft to loud.
    The Triple Play app works in Stand Alone mode in OSX 10.7.5 but not in 10.8.3.
    In 10.8.3, you load the Fishman Triple Play plug-into into the I/O of a software instrument track.  Open the app and adjust sensitivity, mono vs poly, transposition down or up an  octave, etc.  Save your set ups as presets which can be scrolled through with the D-Pad control on the converter.
    While the GR-55 is an amazing all-in-one solution in a small, light weight package (in relation to the bulk and weight of several actual guitars, basses, amps, fx, etc), it is a poor choice for triggering external sound sources.  Whereas I can play "bass" lines on the open E and A strings with my now obsolete Roland GI-20 and RMC piezo equipped guitar without any sense of latency, the GR-55 latency was simply intolerable.  Of course one could revert to the old strategy of playing parts an octave higher on the fret board to increase speed and accuracy of tracking. But what about playing "piano" with  fretted triads against the open E or A strings???
    Think I'm full of hot air?  Skim through this: http://www.joness.com/gr300/MIDI_SPEED.htm
    I traded my GR-55 towards a JTV-59. 
    Once set up, you're gonna love the FTP.  As I mostly sequence MIDI in Logic, being wireless is incredibly convenient.

  • Has anyone tried drawing on the iPad with a stylus?

    I have tried the Jukestyle iPad stylus to draw signatures on the iPad. Has anyone else tried an iPad stylus to use for signatures on documents and contracts? Which ones do you prefer?

    OK I do not have a Lexus, but I have a 2004 Prius with Nav and Bluetooth and as I understand it the Bluetooth is the same. It took me like 45 seconds to do it. I did not touch a manual. Go to the phone and then the set up. In my car it gives you the default password. Go to the settings-> Network -> Bluetooth on the iPhone type in the password and you are in. Uploading you phone book is another issue but can be done from you Mac or PC with Bluetooth or with a older Bluetooth phone.

  • Has anyone tried 1080/60p or 50p with updated version?

    I was told that FCPX could not properly import (without help) 1080 60&50p fotage.
    Anyone tried with 10.0.1?
    Thanks
    Jack

    Hi Tom,
    In my note I wrote "Can not import...." rather than the "edit" part of the equation.
    I have used ClipWrap and the clips are then imported correctly.
    One needs however to check the "Convert Audio to LPCM", otherwise you got no sound.
    I have used Sony NEX-5N in 1080 50p (PAL) format.
    However, I have not heard of any modern cameras that successfully "importing" natively from the card in 1080 (60/50p) in FCPX.
    I knew this was the case with 10.0, but thought that Apple would fix this with the lastest upgrade.
    Being unsure if it was my setup (Mac and/or camera) was the problem or was it really FCPX which could not do it, I simply reached out to the Mac community to get some feedback.
    Although there is a trial version for free (for 1min clips or less) the software costs 49:- bucks.
    That is is a lot of money and "disturbs" my workflow, hence my disappointment.

  • Has anyone tried to pair the iphone with a 2006 Lexus GX470?

  • Has anyone tried running Logic Pro X with a RAM disk?

    I Have been reading about the possible benefits of using a Ramdisk (created in terminal, or as a startup AppleScript). Would I see any benefits running LPX straight from RAM? I realize that I would have to save periodically to alternate locations on my SSD or HDR, but would I be flirting with disaster by working this way?..

  • Has anyone tried to use the Online Edition of Quickbooks and Tiger?

    I work from home as an editor. My employer has just set up payroll using the Online Edition of Quickbooks. When I tried to to login I got this message from Quickbooks:
    "For business and tech reasons we designed Online Edition specifically to run on Windows. We do not offer an alternative version at this time. Customers have reported using a PC emulator, such as Microsoft's Virtual PC, to run Online Edition on their Macs. This may decrease application performance in terms of speed. We encourage you to research this approach to see whether it will work for you."
    Has anyone tried this?
    Also, they set up Online Edition to run with Internet Explorer. I use Safari.

    i donot know the server he used in his example. All you need is to
    replace the server deployment descriptors he used to weblogic descriptors. then rebuild. go to admin tool--localhost:7001/console
    and login with weblogic as username and password
    then on ejb you can then deploy the ejb.read on the console.

  • Has anyone tried the suggestion from the macfixit site

    see my earlier post, "painfully slow connection".
    Has anyone tried installing the combo 10.4.5 update from the mac support site.
    my imac came with 10.4.4 so I assume autoupdate just installed the latest delta, but perhaps there is a problem with the installer and an incorrect library version was linked with the library. Just surmizing , but that could cause a problem.
    Anyway reinstalling the update won't hurt anything I don't think anyway.

    I tried it and it didn't do anything noticable. At first I downloaded the PPC version by mistake and it wouldn't accept it. A little more digging turned up the intel version. But again no change.
    What I found that is working for me is setting up my router to work in "b" wireless mode instead of "g" or "b/g". It has solved the problem for now and since the speed to the router still exceeds that of my ADSL line I have noticed nothing but fast and consistent internet access.

  • Has anyone tried to extend Spatial with a 3D primitive?

    Has anyone tried to extend Spatial with a 3D primitive that for example can model buildings and tunnels? I am trying to add the polyhedron primitive next to the existing point, line, polygon model. I just want to hear some tips or ideas...

    The plan is to make a new GType and new stored functions that recognize this GType.
    A polyhedron could be of type 3008,3D and 8=polyhedron(=new). The elem_info
    and ordinates contain multiple planes. Self-created stored functions would be
    able to recognize this GType, e.g. area3D should give the sum of the areas of all the
    faces of the polyhedron and should also work on Gtype=3003 and give the real area
    of a 3D polygon instead of the projection.I wouldn't suggest this methodology if you are considering using any spatial indexing or
    functions with your data.
    There is a mechanism Oracle Spatial has for defining custom datatypes. It should only
    be used with custom apps, i.e. it won't be usable in the context of applications that know
    about Oracle Spatial data types.
    The mechanism allows you to define you own element using an element type of 0, and using
    the interpretation to define what you are looking at. You would also include an a supported
    element type that approximates your geometry, and that element is the one that is indexed,
    and the gtype entered is associated with that geometry. Your private functions could access
    the 3d geometry when required. For instance, you want to have a 3d cube. It might look like this:
    sdo_gtype=3002
    sdo_elem_info=(1,2,1, 7,0,1, 22,0,2 etc.
    sdo_ordinates=(0,0,0,2,2,2, 0,0,0,2,0,0,2,2,0,0,2,0,0,0,0, 2,0,0,2,0,2,2,2,2,2,2,0,2,0,0, etc
    the 1,2,1 in the elem info array corresponds to a 3d line string that when indexed with a minimum bounding
    volume encloses the 3d cube. The 0,0,0 and 2,2,2 in the ordinate array stored as the line string when indexed
    include the bounds of the cube. Next in the elem info array are 7,0,1. The 7 means offst 7 in the ordinate array
    and in this example is fixed. Next the 0 tells Oracle Spatial to ignore this element. The interpretation of 1 you define,
    the number could be anything. Since it is my example, I'll say the 1 means this is the definition of the first face in the
    x,y plane (i.e. the front face of the cube which faces me). I've set the ordinate array with the coordinates of that face.
    Next in elem info comes 22,0,2 which is starting at offset 22 there is another element that Oracle spatial should ignore
    (element type 0), and next comes 2, which might mean this is the second face definition, that I've defined as the right
    hand side y,z plane.
    etc.
    The meaning of the interpretation value is only limited by your imagination.
    Note while you can index three dimensions if you want, the only spatial functionality that supports 3d is a spatial
    index and a filter query, and some lrs functions. You will not be able to run any operator except for SDO_FILTER if you
    have a 3d index, and all spatial functions will only work on 2d.
    Do not define your own gtype and expect to use spatial. it will not work.

    Has anyone tried DisKWarrior V4.2 with Snow Leopard V10.6.3? Does it work?

    Well, there is an article on MacWorld saying there were a lot of changes and improvements to Disk Utility.... and those have a way of impacting things.
    I got surprised to have trouble after 10.6.3 with SuperDuper on two different systems, that I am still scratching my head over, but had to use Carbon Copy Cloner and RESTORE in Disk Utility for now, would crash (sent report to both) as soon as SD began.
    TechTool Pro 5 is another that sometimes needs to take a couple weeks to see if they need an update and validate against the final shipped build.
