How do I properly install my Muse site into Wordpress?

Hello all,
Just to be clear; I am not a professional web designer nor do I pretend to be one. I am helping a small business by making their website. I decided to use Muse as I am familiar with Indesign and Photoshop so this seemed like the way to go. I also need a CMS for the site so decided to use Wordpress.
So I'm searching the web for answers to my question yet still not able to find a decent answer to this:
How do I install my Muse site in Wordpress (thus using Wordpress as CMS)?
I already know that Wordpress uses .php and Muse is .html and found ways to convert this (using Bridge for example). Is that the way to go or do I really need to do some serious programming? If someone has a video tutorial that would be great!
Thanks!

With no true “Blogging” capability built directly into Adobe Muse, users must find an alternative way to mimic this functionality. By using embedded HTML and the free Blog provider Nabble (www.nabble.com) this tutorial will explain how to include a fully featured blog in your website without writing any code.
Here's a sample blog that I built in a few minutes as a demonstration:
http://mtsampleblog.businesscatalyst.com/index.html
Why aren’t blogs available right now in Adobe Muse?
Although services like Tumblr and Wordpress simplify blogs greatly, the truth is they are fairly complex to code from scratch and often require complicated backend systems (servers with databases). Think of all the functionality a typical blog includes - commenting, login systems, archiving, searching - those aren’t features that can be easily achieved with simple HTML / CSS.
While I certainly can’t speak for Adobe, I can say that for a blog “widget” to simply exist in Muse you wouldn’t be able to host a site on any server, with any configuration. The same is true for the “Forms” widget in Muse - for a form to work, you must host with Adobe’s Business Catalyst. This isn’t because Adobe wants to force you to host your site on their servers; it’s because that’s the only place where they can control the backend setup and build a widget that will consistently work every single time.
Remember the days of cross-browser bug fixing (before Muse saved us), well just imagine doing that for every hosting server in the world. But I digress…
Similar to browsers, there are many different types of hosting servers and configurations

About Nabble
I like Nabble as a blogging solution for a few simple reasons:
1. It’s really easy to use, quite powerful, and best of all... free.
2. Once your site is embedded in Muse, you won’t need to edit your Muse file to make updates. You will simply login to the Nabble website, post updates (and even change the appearance) and your changes will be reflected immediately on your Muse website.
3. You have just enough control over the look & feel to integrate it seamlessly into your website, but without advanced features that might be overwhelming.
4. It contains the core functionality most bloggers look for - searching, archiving, RSS feeds, commenting, etc.

Merging two separate MUSE sites into a single MENU system and Paid & online BC eCommerce site

Hi all! I am stuck trying to figure out a Process Conundrum:
1> I have a BC site with e-commerce ready to go - paid - online with store template in place.
2> I also Have a 2nd MUSE created web site (with the client content/pages) that needs to merge with that E-commerce BC site.
What is the move to merge the two separate sites into a single site with the Menus all in proper order?
Is this simple and I can not see it? (merge the two sites in a folder and reopen in muse for new menus?
Or do i need Dreamweaver to assist in the merge?
In other words:
What is the PATH/PROCESS to merge a 2nd MUSE designed web site (sans e-commerce), in order to tie into the online BC e-commerce template paid site - so the menus update together as "one" site?
Menu Update Concern: merging two separate MUSE sites into a single MENU system with the "Paid on line Active BC e-commerce Template". How do it do it Process wise so that the menus adjust automatically... so they are "one" menu.
Reminds me of an old joke: Q: "What did the Buddhist say to the hot dog vendor at the ball park?"
A: "Make me one with everything!"
ONWARD>>>>>
Possible paths I am about to take attempting to Solve the problem - and scale the learning curve...
download the BC e-commerce site into Dreamweaver -
export the 2nd muse site by publishing it to a unique folder.
combine them by going back into dream weaver and attempting to figure out linking the menus. - perhaps they are automatic there too.
or load them both up to BC and back down to MUSE to fix the menus?
I appreciate Any recommendations, hits or humor that you could help on this.
Cheers!

Thanks, Liam... I will get it eventually...
Sadly: I do not have a budget to hire this out...
   - I have gone through lots of the BC and Muse training exercises. Adobe
   and BC Gurus.
But... if the only problem is that I need to work though my partner site BC
interface...
   - that would be fine...
   - so would using dream weaver....
I will go back and review the BC interface and also dreamweaver
capabilities.
without a budget... i need to figure it out... please do point to any
material or training you might be able to point me to.
I don't have to use muse, if that is my sticking point. I just need to get
the project up and BC looks perfect.
Thanks.

Business Catalyst blog not working properly on my Muse site

I am following this tutorial to put a Business Catalyst blog onto my Muse site. Blog tutorial starts at 19:26.
I'm not sure what part I'm doing wrong, since I'm following it all accordingly, but when I publish the final version of my website, the blog module is showing up as a 'page not found' box.
My blog is all set up correctly on Business Catalyst too, and it is there. In Muse, my blog menus are pointing to /blog.
Can someone please give me some suggestions on how to fix this?
Kind of urgent, since it's for a one year anniversary celebration tomorrow, so I need my website all functional by then. I can give some more details/screenshots if you need them.

Hi,
This is what I see,

How to add a user when Muse site is uploaded without Business Catalyst?

Hello,
I have uploaded a Muse site for my client on her own ftp server. But how can I add her as a "inbrowser editor", so that she can manage the site when needed? Or is it only possible to add a user when I upload the site on the Business Catalyst host?
Thanks!

Hi,
The June 2014 update to Muse enables In-Browser Editing for Muse sites hosted with third-party (non-Adobe) providers.

Brushes Missing in Photoshop CC - How Do I properly install Brushes in Photoshop CC?

Hi, I bought some cool brushes for Photoshop CC and installed them, but a few days later I noticed they are no longer available in my brush presets. Where could they have gone? I did not reinstall Photoshop or do anything except quit Photoshop.
Question:
Can someone please give me a link or tell me how to properly install brushes (.tpl files) in Photoshop CC so they stay loaded in Photoshop. I also want to add to these brushes and keep a folder o my Mac so I can back them up. Any tips are appreciated. Thanks.

Ronald Keller wrote:
Your question confuses me: .tpl are not brushes. Brushes have an .abr extension.
So how did you install the brushes you bought? Maybe we can find out what went wrong?
Ronald, as you'll know .tpl files are tool presets. Using a tool preset as opposed to a normal brush preset, lets you save additional features that are not available with a regular .abr file. I don't know if he pioneered the technique, but John Derry is the person who introduced it to me via one of his Lynda.com tutorials.
You can get a heads up from here, but I am sure Google will find more links.
John Nack on Adobe : New Photoshop brushes from John Derry
This is a JPG version of the PDF instructions for installing John's Brush tool presets. Note that this particular set were for CS6, and I was only able to get about half of them working with 2014.2.2 It should at least give the OP the file locations for a manual install. Note also, you may need to click on the image to open it at full size, and that the file locations are not necessarily the same for CC.

Muse Site and Wordpress?

How can I import a non-BC site into BC, using Dreamweaver CC, and then use it as one of my free sites?

I am trying to import one of my non-BC sites into BC, using Dreamweaver CC, and then use it as one of my free WebBasics sites.
When I try to create a new BC site in Dreamweaver CC, it creates a BC template site, and I have unsuccessfully tried to update the files on BC - it won't let me connect.
If I import the site from my portal, I don't get the option of a free site - when I try to upgrade, I get the credit card form asking for payment.
I feel like I'm running around in circles with one foot nailed to the floor.
Any tips?

Thank you for your quick reply and for clearing up my confusion. I'm exporting the first section now. I choose the smallest size, 3x4 but I'd prefer to go higher as this DVD was originally a VHS home movie. I'm wondering if after three conversions (VHS,->DVD->MPEG) the resolution will be so poor as to not support a larger size frame? If it can, what size should I select when I export?

How do you replace an existing MUSE site with a completely new version?

I am working on a complete revamp of my MUSE website.
I do not want to take down the current one until the new version is ready...
Do I have to delete the current version and then relaunch the new one?
The site is being hosted by Business Catalyst.
Please advise.
R Muir

Hello,
You can publish the new site as trial to business catalyst. Once the site is ready to be live, you can republish it to your existing URL via Muse itself.
This will overwrite the current live site.
In case you do not want to delete the current live site, you will have to remove domain from current site and add it to this newly published site.
The previous version will then be accessible by business catalyst URL.

How do I properly install a USB windows keyboard on an iMac?

Greetings everyone,
I have a new windows keyboard model Haveit Magic Eagle X1 gaming keyboard that has several problems being installed on the OSX system. This is a windows gaming keyboard that, for the most part has installed properly. The two main problems are the fact that the control keys have become the shift keys, and the lock keys (CAPS, Num, and Scroll) do not illuminate on the keyboard. I have scoured the internet, but can only find pages on getting apple keyboards to work with windows and not the other way around. Furthermore, I have switched the USB port that the keyboard was plugged in, to every USB port on the iMac. In addition to this, I have gone to system information to see if the power specification for the USB port matched the power requirement for the keyboard. To that end, the iMac has 500mA available for each port, where only 100mA is required to power the keyboard. I have found nothing on the manufacturers web page, www.haveit.hk, to help me in this matter. I hope that someone has found a solution, which, logically will probably be a third party software download which I am currently unaware of.

I may have spoke too soon. I cannot custom swap the control and shift keys, AND this doesn't help my CAPS lock indicators on my keyboard.

How can I properly install my MIDI keyboard?

Hello,
I recently bought an iMac and I still have trouble figuring some things out. For example how I can install my Keyboard. It's a Yamaha PSR 1500. I bought Cakewalk MIDI cables so I could use my keyboard on my computer. I had an Acer laptop before and everything worked good. I've installed the program, but I have trouble getting it to work. I had to connect my Keyboard to my iMac with the MIDI/Audio configration, but I have no clue how it works. In the book there's a whole different Setup than I have on my iMac.
This is a printscreen of the Audio/Midi I have. Does anyone know how I can get my MIDI to work on this? Help would be very much appreciated.

Have existing Dreamweaver site want to publish new Muse site into it

I have developed a web site and managed it in Dreamweaver I would like to put new pages including index page from Muse into this Dreamweaver site and from the new index (Muse) link it to the old Index Page (Dreamweaver) so there will be access to all the old areas.
Do I just lay all the the new HTML export into the old sites folder and How do I link the new index page to the old index page with the same name Index?

Hello,
As such there's no option to import the live pages into Muse and work on them. This is because Muse will only allow opening files with extension as .muse for editing purposes. If you publish to the site from Muse directly then the older content would be replaced completely.
You can however, create the page in Muse, and then export the contents using the File -> Export As HTML option and use Dw to edit the code as per your requirement. This, although not exactly what you need, is a suitable option to retain both the older and the newer contents.

How do I get my old iweb sites into the new iweb 08 after upgrading?

I upgraded and now the new iweb 08 does not see all my old web site pages. How do Igetnthem into the new application?

I had a similar issure after buying a new iMac and trying to get my iweb sites onto the new computer. I called Apple tech support and they told me to copy the file "domain.site" form the user/library/application support/iweb folder from my old imac into the iweb folder located in the same directory on my new computer. Once it is copied to the new location, double click on the "domain.site" file and it should open in the new iweb program. They told me to check all the pages to make sure it works OK in the program. My problem is that the new iweb program crashed everytime I double click on the "domain" file. Hope this helps.
