How to edit a site made with iWeb?

I made a simple site with pictures with iWeb 08, I would like to edit some text and also to add more pictures, and 'easy' solution would be to add the new pictures edit the text, delete the 'old' site and upload to new one.

Is there an easier way to make changes or add pictures to an already posted website?
Thanks in advance

You're in good shape then.
From the file menu in Transmit, use the Preferences tab to customize your upload process: Preferences/Transfers
Let us know how it works out for you...I don't think you will find a better ftp client. There's also a good list of tools for iWeb, including ftp clients, here:

Editing a site created with Iweb - with another program

Hello,
I built a website for a friend and he wants to be able to make small changes on it from time to time and I downloaded a WYSIWYG editor and none of them are compatible with sites created with Iweb...
Does anyone have any suggestions? He runs a windows machine.
Thank you so much!!!

Well, not really. A lot of people have their sites built for them and then, with a little guidance, can change out photos, or do a little editing here and there. So your idea certainly has merit.
The problem is, iWeb is a unique html generator. It stores everything you create in the application in a single file, (Domain.sites2), and only the application itself can open this file for editing. iWeb doesn't even create the html until you publish the site, either to a folder or to an Apple server. iWeb also changes many things into .png files--including text--believe it or not, in a well intentioned effort to cross platform better with other browser applications. So even simple text editors, which would normally be fine for changing small things in most websites, will struggle.
Your idea was a good one; it is iWeb that isn't a good candidate for it.
You must therefore now convince this person to become an Apnewbie, and buy a Mac!

How do i edit a site created with iweb

I created a site last year with iweb, but now when I try to open it, it only lets me create a new site. I can see the thumbnail in my finder view, but cannot edit it. Help.
Thanks in advance

Try this:
To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Editing a website made with iWeb

Hi there,
I am a new webmaster for a club at my university and the previous webmaster used iWeb to design the website. I am having difficulty going back to the website and changing and editing things. I don't know what information I need in order to gain access to "edit" it. I understand how the program works and everything, but I just need to Edit it and I don't want to create a whole new website. Thanks so much!

You'll need to obtain the Domain.sites file that the webmaster used originally to create and publish the website. Once you get a copy of it you will be able to make any changes to the site, publish those changes to a folder on your hard drive and then upload them to the server with a 3rd party FTP client like YummyLIte, Transmit or Cyberduck.
If you're running Lion or Mt. Lion the following will apply:
In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

How do I delete sites created with iWeb and posted with .mac after a format

I am confused about how to delete a couple of sites that I created with iWeb and posted with my .mac after I did a format reload?
I have tried everything. The original files are not on my MacBook Pro because of the format.
I also see them in my idisc, but I is my understanding that on my MacBook Pro that I can delete the files, but they are hosted online. On the online idisk I cannot delete them because there is no option. Please help!!!

Using the file menu in Finder:
Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/YourSitesAreHere
Highlight selected files and Command/Delete. You will receive a drop down asking you if you are sure; click OK and the files/sites will be deleted immediately from the iDisk.

Linking Sites Made With iWeb

We have a class with students creating websites and are trying to link each site to the teacher's website (also made with web). Every time we publish to a folder and attempt to link (using inspector) to the any other iweb made website published to a folder we get File Not Found errors. I have tried pointing the link to the nested index file....even to the exact html files in the folders. The most we have gotten so far are the some of the template frames maybe some text with no formatting. Please help. The students love it, but we cannot fulfill the promise to make them available on our network or internet. Thanks.
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

You'll need to put the files and html pages onto a "server" before they can be found using a browser.
Be sure to use the complete URL (begins with http and ends with the page name .html).
If you publish to "folder" all you need to do is upload that folder to your server. Make sure your folder names are different (no two can have the same name) and do not include spaces, punctuation or illegal characters.
Jane's Pages would become janes_pages.
iWeb names the html file after the name (title) of the first page in the Site. It may be something like Jane's Pages.html so it may be better to name each students first page (start page) very simple. I suggest intro (no capital letter).
This would make an html page named intro.html so they will be identical in each folder.
The URL (address) would then look something like this:
http://yourservername.com/janes_pages/intro.html
yourservername is the name of your server that hosts your pages.

How do I get site analytics with iWeb 09 MobileMe Rage iWeb SEO tool?

I have two sites of consideration both registered and forwarded from GoDaddy:
bicycedriver.com    several pages
bicycledriver.org     just one page
I was not getting site analytics data on referring sites and search engine/keyword data with code applied to bicycledriver.COM. Thats the site I'm interested in getting data. Then with the iWeb SEO tool, I accidentally applied the StatCounter and Godaddy Site Analytics code to bicycledriver.ORG, another one of several sites.
Now I get referring sites and searchengine/keyword data on bicycledriver.ORG but NOT on bicycledriver.COM
Should I find some way to reverse the above situation,... what would that be, or can someone tell me what's going on and how to fix it?
David

Ethmoid:
You're right. I did know that, got it from this post by Akdream but miscopied it to my note pad where I copy and paste. Thanks.
bicycledriver:
There is no performance difference between CNAME and regular URL forwarding. But if you mask with URL forwarding then the restrictions that Ethmoid pointed out come into play.
The drawback to using domain name forwarding with masking:
Visitors can only enter your web site via the first page.
Visitors can only bookmark the first page of your site.
If a visitor refreshes a page they will be taken back to the first page of the site.k
Search engines will only be able to use the first page of your site for indexing and rating your site.
#4 is a big drawback. That can seriously minimize what search engines can learn about your site.

Site made with iWeb using personal domain name

I have created a web site on iWeb 08 and have a personal domain name through Network Solutions.
The website was published to Mobile Me after "set up personal domain" was done. The C Name record was changed at Network Solutions to web.me.com. When I write the domain name in the browser a box comes down asking "idisk.mac.com" wants user name and password.
1. Why is it asking for this?
2. every ID and Password I put in, it tells me is incorrect? Ahhhhhhhh What does it want from me?
Please help - I've waisted so much time on this (since last week).
The website name is www.theplazarealty.com is you want to take a look.
Thank you

This relates to a problem I can't find in the iWeb manual. Where is my iWeb site actually published to, so I can accurately update it using FTP software, and which method to use for publishing it to domain names?
I have created two websites for two different purposes each with a personal domain (one hosted, the other with webforwarding), and through ignorance have done all three options Publish to MobileMe / Publish All to MobileMe / and Publish to a folder (my home computer user Sites folder). As a result I have three Sites folders each containing both 'mysites'- Computer/user/Sites/sitename, or iDisk/user/Sites/sitename, or iDisk/user/Web/Sites/sitename - all different sizes, worryingly, leaving me unclear which is doing what. What is the diff between Publish All to MMe and Publish to MMe - they both seem to entail both sites totally republishing even if only one page has changed. Each time, of course, it takes several minutes or more to clear through the publishing process, and then some 20-30mins more to synchronise with FTP before I find out whether I've only used the duff old version after all. What is the difference between the three Sites destination folders? Can the difference be used productively? Should I, eg, ensure my sites exist both on my computer and iDisk as backup?
Further confusing factor is that when I log into MMe and look at my folders icon on my iDisk, which are Sites and Web/Sites, the contents of the two 'mysites' folders listed under both areas are different from the SITES/iWeb display listed below them, which seems to be a truncated sort of merger of the 'mysites' contents without their separation into two. Is that iWeb item under SITES on the folders page listing a fourth set of the contents,or what?
Now to synchronising/updating: which Sites folder to use to synchronise the websites with. Can I get updating in sync with republishing? My domain host UKcentric does not provide the CNAME options you have all talked about and they are unobtainable on my hosted domain page. I sent him the web.me.com message as described in the iWeb Personal Domain instrux, but he has persistently instructed me to use FTP software to upload and update the sites. He is not Mac-friendly, he admits. I have now used three programs, ClassicFTP, FileZilla and Cyberduck, all of which seem to be rather different and none of them has told me the sync has completed (the connection drops out, etc - it does take a long time, say 30-40mins to do, and I never know when I "resume" whether it'll pick up where it was or go back to zero start). If I am stuck with this laborious method of regular manual updating, I want to know I am using the correct Sites folder to synchronise the website with. None of this is clarified in the iWeb manual. Can anyone help?

If you're referring to last year's transition from .Mac to MobileMe, your iWeb websites are still available at the same URLs and have also been given a new URL at (www.me.com). For example, (web.mac.com/emily_parker/) will work as will (web.me.com/emily_parker)

Editing a web site using windows that was made with iweb using a MAC

I published my web site using iweb with my MBP, but at times would like to edit it when I'm running windows. Anyone know how to do it?

You can't. To edit a site created by iweb, you must be using a mac with iweb installed and also with the Domain file installed that was used to create the site.
http://homepage.mac.com/thgewecke/iwebdata.html
Of course you can mess with the html and other files created by iWeb with any app you please, but any changes will be overwritten if you republish from iWeb later.

You need to transfer your domain.sites file from your MacBook to your iMac. This is the file where iWeb stores all info and can be found under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
Transfer this file from your MacBook to the same place on your iMac and double click the domain.sites file and iWeb will open it on your iMac and you can update your site from there too.

Edit actual site name in iWeb

Sorry but I've searched this topic and can't find anthing relevant.
All I want to do is edite the Site name in iWeb. I have the Site Publishing Settings window up and set to Publish to Mobile Me with the side bar to the left. At the top of the sidebar it shows the name of my site. Say it is PlanetEarth and I want to edit to planetearth. If I try this the site name reverts as soon as I tab out of the field. Same with the Site name field in the Publishing (top) section of the window.
Help would be appreciated.

OK got it. Seems to work if I right-click and rename.

Enable the search for a site made with director

How can I index for google a site made with Director? (dcr File).
Thanks.

In my opinion two or three keywords might suffice: your name and s.th. like "biography" or "portfolio" (if you want that the whole world can find your biography with your name) not your actual biographical data itself.
Don´t know how many browsers can set text to transparent meanwihle. "Hidden" is also hidden for search engines.
An example for dcr containing html with and without button and with a minimum of text: http://titanpad.com/QnWsz5nZtk
The most simple way to publish a portfolio is to write an e-mail "yourname"@posterous.com with the dcr-file attached!!! - and you own a blog named "www.posterous.com/yourname" in no time - for free.
example: http://ardigi.posterous.com/designaspekte (german only)
For a portfolio (of a professional in the digital domain) it is better to consider jchunks hints and use state of the art tools.
I myself consider free web 2.0 tools as always state of the art in the ever changing tool-world, and feel free to use programms I like to work with.....
Thank you too for your question, because I´ve clearified s.th. for my own now.
