How do I create a blog?

If you have never used iWeb, then don't. This software is now unsupported and not sold and has not been supported for the last 2 years.
If you want to create a blog, then perhaps consider using WordPress. You can use WordPress.org and you can install WordPress on your host if you have hosting already, or if you don't then you can use WordPress.com instead. This is free and is then published to the WordPress servers.
If you are starting from scratch, then don't use iWeb - it really is not worth it.
Try WordPress for starters.

How can I create a blog?

If you just want a blog on its own and you don't want a website, then go and use one of the free blogging systems out there such as Blogger or WordPress.com and there are others. If you already have a webhosting account that you can install CMS's on, then consider installed WordPress.org and using that instead.

How do I create a blog button on DW?

Hi,
I'm new to DW and having a couple of issues. I'd like to create a button for a website in html code that can be put on other people's blogs.
The following is an example of the kind of code I'd like to do: <a href="http://www.manylittleblessings.com" target="_blank" ><img src="http://www.manylittleblessings.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/mlb_button125.gif" alt="Many Little Blessings" height="125" width="125" /></a>>
I know how to create a html form, and then add an image and then a link to the image. But when I do this and then upload it the file is something like this: www.site.com/button.html
If I put it into the html coding above, the image doesn't show up at all.
But if I upload the image only as a jpg, I can't get it to work either - I'm not sure what the url address is for the jpg image so that might be part of the problem.
I'd be really grateful for any help.

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...???

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.

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.

How do I create an archive system for a blog created with a custom app?

I had to create a blog using a custom app, because I needed an image to show up in the list view (a feature I can't believe does not exist in the blog module). Anyways, I am wondering how can I create an archive system? Do I need to create categories for each month/year and then classify the post each time we create one. Then manually create links each month to pages that filters listing by that category? This is the system I tried, but I was wondering if there was a better way.
Also, I would like to have a sidebar that shows all the authors/contributors of the blogs and have a count under their photo that shows how many blogs they have contributed to, and have this update dynamically each time they create a new post. I was wondering if a data source tag is the way to do this but I don't have enough information on how the data source tag even works, to really know how to do this.
I have searched google for hours, and even signed up for BC gurus tutorials with no real luck. I thought BC gurus was going to have the answer but it wasn't quite detailed enough. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

You can use classifications but there is no auto feature to archive like that on web apps.
In terms of the blog, Like I have said to everyone that has posted about blog preview images:

Apple states
How can I create a page that aggregates my podcasts?
If you have multiple podcasts listed in the iTunes Store, the iTunes staff can create a single page that lists all of them in one place. We call this page an “artist page.” Note that a podcast can only appear on one artist page.
To request an artist page, navigate to one of your podcasts, click on Report a Concern, and select Remove a Podcast. In the dialog box, explain that you would like an artist page, give us the exact name of the artist (please don’t include “Inc,” “LLC,” etc.), and list the exact feed URLs or links to your podcasts.
at the bottom of this page

I hope two is enough and if not that someone contacts me and maybe even changes the info on the above link.
Thank you for your input!

How to create a blog like list with items indented.

Hey guys i know there has got to be a easy way to do this but quite frankly im just stuck. Im trying to create a blog like list kind of like what you see in wordpress or even facebook.
I've tried using the vbox, vgroup and some other without any luck. I guess my basic problem is that once you have the vgroup laid out or the vbox laid out how can you push the one container over to the right a little? in other words kind of lile a parent child relationship? how can i go about doing that? should i be a looking at another component? how would you guys attempted this. Love to hear suggestions or see a snippet of code.
thanks guys.
Miguel

I'm basically trying to recreate a list type of display like so. I think im close but my approach i believe lacks elegance.

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.

New Effective CAL essay: How do I create an abstract data type in CAL?

How do I create an abstract data type in CAL? An abstract data type is one whose internal representation can be changed without needing to modify the source code of client modules that make use of that type. For software maintainability, it is a good idea to make a type that is subject to change or enhancement into an abstract data type. Another reason to create an abstract data type is to enforce invariants for values of the type that can only be ensured by using constructor functions (i.e. functions that return values of that type). In principle it is simple to create an abstract data type in CAL. For an algebraic data type, make the type constructor public and all data constructors private. For a foreign data type, make the type constructor public and the implementation scope private. If a scope qualifier is omitted, the scope is taken to be private. For example, the Map algebraic data type has the public type constructor Map and the data constructors Tip and Bin are each private, so it is an abstract data type. /** A map from keys (of type {@code k@}) to values (of type {@code a@}). */ data public Map k a = private Tip | private Bin size :: !Int key :: !k value :: a leftMap :: !(Map k a) rightMap :: !(Map k a); There are a number of invariants of this type: the size field represents the number of elements in the map represented by its Bin value. The keys in leftMap are all less than key, which in turn is less than all the keys in rightMap. In particular, non-empty Map values can only be created if the key parameter type is a member of the Ord type class. Values of the Map type can be created outside the Cal.Collections.Map module only by using constructor functions such as insert: insert :: Ord k => k -> a -> Map k a -> Map k a; public insert !key value !map = ... The owner of the Cal.Collections.Map module must ensure that all invariants of the Map type are satisfied, but if this is done, then it will automatically hold for clients using this function. Some examples of foreign abstract data types are Color, StringNoCase and RelativeDate: data foreign unsafe import jvm private "java.awt.Color" public Color; data foreign unsafe import jvm private "java.lang.String" public StringNoCase; data foreign unsafe import jvm private "int" public RelativeDate; The private implementation scope for Color means that a foreign function whose type involves Color can only be declared in the Cal.Graphics.Color module where the Color type is defined. A foreign function declaration involving the Color type relies on the compiler knowing that the Color type corresponds to java.awt.Color to resolve the corresponding Java entity i.e. it must know about the implementation of the Color type. Having a private implementation scope means that the Color type can be changed to correspond to a different Java class, or indeed to be an algebraic type, without the risk of breaking client code. In all these three cases there are useful, and different, design reasons to adopt a private implementation scope: For RelativeDate, the Java implementation type int represents a coded Gregorian date value in the date scheme used by Crystal Reports. Not all int values correspond to valid dates, and the algorithm to map an int to a year/month/day equivalent is fairly complicated, taking into account things like Gregorian calendar reform. Thus, it is desirable to hide the implementation of this type. For StringNoCase, the implementation is more straightforward as a java.lang.String. The reason to adopt a private implementation scope is to ensure that all functions involving StringNoCase preserve the semantics of StringNoCase as representing a case-insensitive string value. Otherwise it is very easy for clients to declare a function such as: foreign unsafe import jvm "method replace" replaceChar :: StringNoCase -> Char -> Char -> StringNoCase; which does not handle case-insensitivity correctly, but is a perfectly valid declaration. This declaration results in a compilation error when it is placed outside the module in which StringNoCase is defined because of the private implementation scope of StringNoCase. For Color, the issue is somewhat more subtle. The java.awt.Color implementation type is semantically the same as the CAL Color type. The problem is that java.awt.Color is mutable (since it can be sub-classed to create a mutable type). It is preferable for a first-class CAL type to not be mutable, so we simply make the implementation scope private to ensure that this will be the case. A somewhat less encapsulated kind of abstract data type can be created using friend modules and protected scope. For example, if an algebraic type is public, and all its data constructors are protected, then the data constructors can be accessed in the friend modules of the module in which the type is defined. Effectively this means that the implementation of the semantics of the type stretches over the module in which the type is defined, and all of its friend modules. These must all be checked if the implementation of the type is modified. Given the merits of abstract data types discussed above, it is perhaps surprising that most of the core types defined in the Prelude module are not abstract data types. For example: Boolean, Char, Int, Double, String, List, Maybe, Either, Ordering, JObject, JList, and all record and tuple types are non-abstract types. There are different reasons for this, depending on the particular type involved. For example, Boolean, List, Maybe, Either and Ordering are all rather canonical algebraic data types with a long history in functional languages, with many standard functions using them. They are thus guaranteed never to change. In addition, their values have no particular design invariants that need to be enforced via constructor functions. Exposing the data constructors gives clients some additional syntactic flexibility in using values of the type. For example, they can pattern match on the values using case expressions or let patterns. Essentially the same explanation holds for record and tuple types. Although non-tuple record types are less canonical, they do correspond to the fundamental notion of an anonymous named-field product type. The "anonymous" here simply means that the programmer can create an entirely new record type simply by creating a value; the type does not have to be declared anywhere prior to use. Char, Int, Double, String, JObject and JList are foreign types where in fact part of the semantics of the type is that we want clients to know that the type is a foreign type. For example, we want clients to know that Prelude.Int is essentially the Java primitive unboxed int type, and has all the semantics you would expect of the Java int type i.e. this is quite different from RelativeDate which is using int as its implementation type in a very tactical way that we may choose to change. One can think of a public foreign type declaration with public implementation scope as simply introducing the Java type into the CAL namespace. One interesting point here is with CAL's naming convention for public foreign types. We prefix a type name by "J" (for "Java") for foreign types with public implementation type such that the underlying Java type is mutable. This is intended as mnemonic that the type is not a pure functional type and thus some caution needs to be taken when using it. For example, Prelude.JObject has public Java implementation type java.lang.Object. In the case where the underlying Java type is not mutable, we do not use the prefix, since even though the type is foreign; it is basically a first class functional type and can be freely used without concern. For example, Prelude.String has public Java implementation type java.lang.String. In the case where the implementation type is private, then the fact that the type is a foreign type, whether mutable or not, is an implementation detail and we do not hint at that detail via the name. Thus Color.Color has as its private Java implementation type the mutable Java type java.awt.Color. When creating abstract data types it is important to not inadvertently supply public API functions that conflict with the desired public semantics of the type. For example, if the type is publicly a pure-functional (i.e. immutable) type such as Color, it is important not to expose functions that mutate the internal Java representation. A more subtle case of inadvertently exposing the implementation of a type can occur with derived instances. For example, deriving the Prelude.Outputable and Prelude.Inputable type classes on a foreign type, whose implementation type is a mutable Java reference type, allows the client to gain access to the underlying Java value and mutate it
(by calling Prelude.output, mutating, and then calling Prelude.input). The solution in this case is to not derive Inputable and Outputable instances, but rather to define a custom Inputable and Outputable instance that copies the underlying values.

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.

How can I create an internal hyperlink in iWeb? Would like to put an interactive menu at the top of a page.

How can I create an internal hyperlink in iWeb? Would like to put an interactive menu at the top of a page.

Do you meant a link to one of your other pages or to a location on one of your pages? If it's the latter those are called anchors and iWeb does not support them. However, there are workarounds for that. See this blog: How to use anchors in iWeb. If you don't have a lot of widgets on the page it can work fairly well.
