How do I create two iWeb sites using a single .Mac account?

I would like to create two distinct sites/URLs using iWeb and a single — not a family — .Mac account. Is this possible? If so, what are the basic steps?
When I read related forum posts, it would seem to me that one site would overwrite the other site when I publish. Yes or no?

If you just do the obvious and use File > New Site in iWeb, you do create two distinct sites with different urls. However, you cannot exactly duplicate page names in the sites or publish changes in one without publishing changes in the other. The short default url web.mac.com/username/iWeb normally goes to the top site on the list within iWeb.
If you create two sites with distinct names in different accounts on your machine, they should not overwrite each other, and they should also have distinct urls. However I think that the
index.html file which tells browsers what to do with the default short url web.mac.com/username/iWeb may get confused, so that deleting that or modifying it manually might be desirable.

  • How to edit the same iWeb site on 2 different Macs?

    How can I edit the same iWeb site on 2 different Macs? I know we create a folder with the files, but when copying that to Mac2, iWeb on Mac2 doesn't see that folder - I can't see what the linkage is between the app's interface and the folder of site files....

    The answer is Domain.sites (extension hidden by default). You'll find this on the Mac you used to create the site at Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/iWeb. Copy that file to removable media and drag it to the same location on the other Mac. Launch iWeb and you'll see the site structure in the Site Organizer.
    Once you keep the Domain package in sync between the two machines everything will work smoothly no matter which you use. There's a neat tip here which may help in this respect, but you use whatever strategy you prefer:

  • How can I publish my iweb site using Jumpline as a host?  Anyone done it?

    My dad has a hosting account with Jumpline and can have an infinite amount of websites with unlimited storage (type of account is no long available fyi), so we have it set up on his end (thanks to help from a true IT guy, but he is a PC IT guy) but now I need to know what to do to publish the site from the iweb end... I am not familiar with ftp or much of anything with hosting and servers, etc.  I have the user information, password and a location of where the website is set up at on the Jumpline server but again just not sure how to go about this in iweb.  Any help would be appreciated!!    I am using iweb v. 3.0.4

    Nevermind!!  I didn't realize I could use the FTP option for this server - it's publishing right now! 

  • How do I create a web site using already .doc files?  More words than photo

    I really want not to write everything on the iweb 08 format, but select, copy and edit my documents already written in .doc, or text, or ppt.
    How do I do this? And, is it possible to edit them when they are in the iweb page?
    Thanks,
    María Cristina

    You've posted this question in the iWeb 09 forum, but the same answer will work for both versions.
    All you need to do is to choose which template type meets your needs and then copy/paste the text from your .doc or whatever document, into a text field on the page.
    I would open the word documents with a text editor like Textwrangler so that all of the hidden Microsoft formatting data (font and paragraph info) is removed from the text. After pasting the text into the iWeb text box I'd change the font to one of the Web fonts for compatibility.
    All of the text on an iWeb page remains editable for future changes.

  • Can iWeb be used without a .Mac account?

    Just wondering, is it possible to use iWeb to create .html pages I can save and upload to _my own_ web space?
    Or is iWeb tied to .Mac, so it can only be used if you have an account?

    Here are some tips:

  • How can I export one iWeb site (of two) out to another user

    I am working in Lion. I created two iweb sites - one for me and one for another user. I am trying to export the files to that user so he can continue updates. But when i make copies of the site it is linked to my site. How do I separate and export the files to him? Thanks!

    HI Ben,
    Unfortunately the other website - let's call it Charles - is not listed separately - it has somehow joined with mine. So if I delete his I delete mine. Something happened when I upgraded to Lion and they became joined' somehow.
    I do see the file in Library but I still don't know how to separate them.
    Thanks!

  • Adding files to iWeb site using .mac

    Hi
    Apologies if this has been answered before but I would like to achieve the following:
    I have an iWeb site published to a .mac account. I would like to add links to other files such as m3u or qtl playlists and host the mp3/mov files somewhere else in my .mac account. I have read a little about using the idisk feature to achieve this. What's the best way of proceeding?

    which means you have to put any file or folder linked to in this way inside iDisk>Web>Sites??
    That's correct.
    Presumably that means when you publish any updates out of iWeb it leaves these files/folders alone and only updates what it needs to?
    You can create folders as you like.
    Just make sure you do not add a Site in iWeb with the same name as your folder. iWeb will overwrite that folder. Try it.
    And do not add an index.html file of your own in the root of the Server. I have a custom index.html file. So any time I publish a Site in iWeb (by mistake) I have to make sure I replace the index.html file by iWeb with the file of my own.
    But I do a lot of things I'm not supposed to do.

  • How do I get an iWeb site to show up on a google search?

    How do I get an iWeb site to show up on a google search?

    How soon will the GA page indicate that the code has been added and tracking started? I added the code to the my Demo and Tutorial Contents pages and GA still indicates that tracking hasn't been installed.
    I am using the full url to the analytics.js file in the HTML snippet:
    newScript.src = 'http://web.me.com/toad.hall/js/demoanalytics.js';
    The file shows up in the Activity window. I've done the same for the contents page of my tutorial site with the same results. The two sites are Tutorials and Demo.
    Any suggestions?

  • Help. How do you post two different sites?

    Help. I'm trying to create two different sites and have them have two different names. How do i do that? Anyone...thanks.

    Scott:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Create both sites in the same domain file.
    Each can be published separately if it is the only site with changes (shown in red) and you use the Publish to .Mac menu option. They will be published to the same folder on your iDisk but will have separate URLs.

  • How can I create a Online Store using Muse?

    How can I create a Online Store using Muse?
    I have been looking around for solutions but I can't find one.
    I was just hoping that someone else might have known of a way.
    Thanks!

    Since you can access the Alpha File Manager it means the option to "Enable online content editing (incompatible with Muse)" is ticked up under your profile details. With this enabled you can create Web Forms under Site Manager. Once you create the contact form open the Alpha File Manager (AFM), select the page where you want to insert this and choose the Web Forms from the right hand column. On the pop-up window select the web form to insert and click Insert.
    Regarding the upgrade, as long as the site is in trial mode you can choose any plan for the site, see my answer #7. Create a new trial site, choose the link to the new trial site created from PP and publish your site there for testing purposes so you will have ecommerce included and available for you to try out.
    If things go well you can request an upgrade to your current site to have the ecommerce included (the only situation in which this upgrade won't be available is when the site is published on one of the 5 sites received with the CCM subscription, they are webBasics and cannot be upgraded: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/publish-anywhere.html under "Publish websites" section, and the option will be to create the site from partner portal and publish the content from Muse)
    At this moment indeed there's little documentation on how to integrate the two but this is because Muse is just not ready to take advantage of BC capabilities. It was never intended for CMS features of BC to be available in version 1 of Muse. This has already been mentioned a few times (one relevant example: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4355214#4355214#4355214)

    iWeb stores the data in a Domain.sites2 file whose default location is shown here...

  • Built iWeb site for friend with my account. How can I transfer site to his?

    Hi everybody. I recently finished creating an iWeb site for a friend while using my MobileMe account. What's the best way to transfer this site to his MobileMe account (so his username, etc. shows up in the url; not mine). I'd like to avoid having to rebuild the entire site while using his version of iWeb/MobileMe.
    Am I in trouble or is there a solution?
    Thanks in advance!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Will your friend be maintaining the site once it's published to his MobileMe account? If so just copy the domain.sites2 file containing his site to his computer and put it in his User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. Once he logs into his MobileMe account via the System/MobileMe preference pane he can make changes and published them to his account.
    If you also have a site in that same domain file, duplicate that file, open it with iWeb and delete your site before transferring it to your friend's Mac. Then delete his site from your domain file leaving just your own site. You can delete his site from your MMe account by mounting your iDisk, going to the iDisk/Web/Site folder and deleting the folder that has his site's name.

    That's exactly what you would get. Create a folder with a suitable name: publish to it. Zip it; email it. Tell them to start with the 'index.html' file inside the folder. The rest will follow - they will see it exactly as they would see an online site, links and all.
    Note that there is usually a 20MB limit on email attachments so if your site is image-heavy you might have a problem. An alternative is to post it to your webspace - you could post the zipped file and give them a link to it - that will download it (and it's a preferable way of handing a large file anyway, as they can download it at their convenience rather than being forced to in order to get their other mail).
