How to unpublish my iweb site

Hi,
What do I need to do to unpublish my iWeb site? Should I just delete the files from my iWeb program?
Thanks for your help.

If you have published your website, then yes, of course it will still exist, whether you delete from iWeb or not.
You need to go and delete your site from where you published it - so if you published to MobileMe, then you need to log into MobileMe and go and delete your site from your iDisk.
If you published to a server/host, then you need to download Cyberduck and connect with your host so that you can actually see what files are on your server and use Cyberduck to delete these.
Also, never delete anything from iWeb that you want to alter or keep without backing up. If you ever need it again, you will end up re-building it.

How do I publish iWeb site with Cyberduck??

Hi there,
I am trying and trying, but I can't figure it out. Can anybody help me and tell me how to publish an iWeb site with Cyberduck??
Thank you so much!
Marc

Okay, this is not complicated at all.
When you want to publish an iWeb site to some place other than MobileMe, then you publish to a folder of your choice on your hard drive and iWeb will create all the files needed. It will create one folder that has the same name that you called your website inside iWeb plus an index.html page. So if you called your site Site in iWeb, then when you publish to a folder, your folder will be called Site, plus the index.html page.
You then need to open Cyberduck and enter your ftp info, plus your username and password and then you click on open connection. Once you click on open connection you will be connected to your hosting service and there will be a folder there called Public_html. You then need to upload your folder plus index.html file from your hard drive and once these have been uploaded, you just drag and drop them into the Public_html folder on your web space. To upload in Cyberduck, just click on Action at the top and click on Upload. Once you click here you will be shown all the files on your hard drive and all you need do is go to the folder where you site is stored and then click on index.html and it will be uploaded and then click on Site or whatever your site is called and upload this and it will be uploaded.
It is not difficult at all, but you do need to know what you are doing.

How to transfer an iWeb site from one MobileMe account to another.

I am creating an iWeb site for a friend. I am doing this using my mac and my MobileMe account. I understand that the iWeb site assets are all stored in my MobileMe iDisk. I want to take the finished site and transfer it to my friends computer and his MobileMe iDisk so he can manage it from there. How do I do this.

If you have your friends MobileMe login details, then you can publish the site to his MMe account directly from your Mac. Go to System Preferences and log out of your MMe account and then into his and then go back to iWeb and then publish the site directly to his MMe account.
As far as giving him the ability to manage the sites, just give him the relevant domain file for the site. Go to User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites and find the domain file and then you can e-mail it to his Mac and he can then put the domain file in the same place on his Mac.
Whatever you do, don't publish the site to your desktop - you won't be able to do anything with it. It is the domain file that you need if your friend wants to manage and alter the site in any way.

How to copy/paste iWeb site

Hi!
3 questions...
1) How do I copy and paste my existing iWeb websites pix and text and links and so forth into a newly created iWeb website?
2) How do I create new iWeb site name
3) How do I delete the old site?

The only inane question is the one not asked. The best way to backup your web site is to make a backup copy of your Domain.sites2 file that is in the User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. Varkgirl has an Automator work flow that will copy it to another location of your choice. I believe you can find it on Varkgirl's iWeb Tips and Tricks site or use this link to directly download it: Click Here. I believe it makes a zipped copy of the domain file and moves it to the location of your choice. It can take a while depending on the size of your site.
Since I have over 45 individual sites I use a backup application to backup it up after each time I edit and/or publish. After the initial backup the application, Synk Standard,it only backs up those new or changed files in the domain file(s). Much quicker that backing up the entire file(s).
If you have an external hard drive you can just drag the domain file to it after each use, replacing the previous one - if you don't have a backup program.
It's all one big learning curve here in the discussions. Some of us are just on a different part of the curve than others. Good luck.

How to import old iWeb sites

I recently did a clean install of Lion and setup a new User for myself, rather than migrate my old user data. I copied my Sites folder from my Snow Leopard User folder into my User folder in Lion, but when I open iWeb, I can't see any of my iWeb sites. How can I import the sites that I've already built in SL into iWeb running under Lion?

The website data is stored in a Domain.sites2 file whose default location is Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb. This is the file you need to transfer.
In Lion the Library is hidden and there is a slight problem with opening Domain files. See this page under "iWeb and Lion" for info...

How do I upload iWeb-site without using 'Flie Publish' feature?

Due to corporate firewall restrictions I cannot use iDisk, Sync or iWeb to connect to .mac, which presented a problem when I wanted to Publish my iWeb site.
I have uploaded the site [via webdav, with Transmit] to the Sites folder of my iDisk, but I can't find my site when I enter my .mac URL into my browser (http://web.mac.com/myusername or http://homepage.mac.com/myusername).
Theoretically, is this the right way to upload to iDisk without using iWeb? Is there anything else I need to do to link my URL to the files in iDisk/Sites?
Thanks in advance, Lee.

Ok, my member name is leepaulvickers.
I've tried
http://web.mac.com/leepaulvickers
http://web.mac.com/leepaulvickers/iweb
http://web.mac.com/leepaulvickers/leepaulvickers
http://homepage.mac.com/leepaulvickers
but just get the 'we can't find the HomePage you've requested' 404 error.
BTW I've used Transmit to upload to my iDisk in the past, such as files and photos with no problems. I assumed there would be no trouble with iWeb's files...

Does anyone know how to save an iweb site to dvd so that a Windows user...

can put it in their computer and view it? This would be a hard copy of the site with all files. Have created a very media rich iweb site and am hoping to enable several people to view the site without accessing the internet.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions. You all are always so helpful.
Best,
Kim

Publish your Site to a folder and burn it to disk.
The disk doesn't know it's a website.
Your webpages have to be viewed in a Browser.
And as long they do not contain outside links, there's no need for an Internet connection.
Practice with a RW disk. Then you can erase the disk and start over.
All kind of tricks such as autostart can be found on the internet.
PS. Scan for virusses too, otherwise Windows and/or its users get hysterical.

How do I connect iWeb Site back to iWeb?

When my internal hard drive crashed I replaced it with a new one and upgraded to Leopard. Unfortunately I can't change my website because iWeb 08 doesn't know were it is located. I have found the files in my iDisk. If I delete all the files in the folder located at iDisk/Web/Sites/Site will I then be able to create a new website from iWeb. Or, how can I connect those files to iWeb?
Thanks in advance.

Bob:
Unless you have a backup copy of the domain.sites2 file you'll have to rebuild your website from scratch. iWeb cannot read the published site files, only create them. However, Chapter 2.3 of this iWeb FAQ site has tips on using some of the published files in the reconstruction of the site.

How to PROMOTE your iWeb site...............

iWeb is soooooooo user friendly.
I'm new to creating a web site and I
was wondering, how you go about
promoting my website on search
engines such as Yahoo and Google.
Any suggestions?
Cheers

Here are some more details on how to get your site listed more/better/faster:
1. Go to http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl and submit your URL. Submit both yourdomain.com and http://web.mac.com/yourusername
FYI, if you use forwarding on yourdomain.com, Google will be happier/more likely to index your mac.com addresses. No way around this.
2. Submit your site (either URL) to http://www.iwebusersites.com
3. Get other people you know to post links to your site, and you should include your url when you post in bulletin boards/forums, etc. The more places your links are, the more likely Google is to find you.
4. Add Meta tags to your pages.
Get MassReplaceIt
http://www.hexmonkeysoftware.com
Here's a page on how to use it:
http://web.mac.com/will.englefield/iWeb/WillG4PB/MRI.html
Tell it to search for
</head>
Replace with
<meta name="description" content="insert description of your site"><meta name="keywords" content="keywords for your site separated by commas"></head>
5. This is a big one: Check the text on your page - perhaps it is being converted to images. Make sure you use a web safe font, put text in text boxes, not shape boxes, and don't add effects (shadows, etc) to the text or text boxes. This way Google has something to search on your pages.
6. Create a sitemap and submit it to Google
https://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/docs/en/about.html
in conjunction with this
http://www.sitemapdoc.com/Default.aspx
There are instructions for doing this all over the forum if you do a search.
7. Wait patiently. It takes time

How to link 2 iWeb sites

I created two seperate sites and now want to combine them. This is my layout in iWeb--> http://home.cogeco.ca/~tarkin/iWeblayout.jpg
How can I get the Camping 2006 site into the Our Photo Album site? I want a link at the top of the page to display along with the others, "Camping 2006" but I want the individual pages in Camping 2006 to only be accesible through Camping 2006 and not at the top of the page of Our Photo Album.
whew!

You cannot actually combine the two sites, but what you can do is create a page in the Our Photo Album site, and name it Camping 2006; (this way it will show up in the nav bar of the 'Our Photo Album' site); then, on that page, just create a link to the Camping 2006 site. A suggestion for the link would be to just place a main photo from the Camping site, on the Camping 2006 page, and then enable it as a hyperlink to to the site.

How to restore uploaded iWeb sites as iWeb data on your computer.

My original internal HD died. Fortunately, I had data backed up with Time Machine. Unfortunately, I had turned off automatic backup because Time Machine was giving my computer problems and I'd forgotten to do a manual backup. So the last backup my Time Machine did was in 2008. In that time when I Time Machine was turned off, I had created a few sites on iWeb and uploaded to my Mobile Me account. I now have a new HD and restored all my data from my Time Machine backup but the most up to date are from 2008. I've lost the iWeb files created in 2009. Is it possible to restore my iWeb files to my computer from the files I uploaded to the Mobile Me server? If so, how would I do it? Hope there's a way. Thanks.

As you already found out you'll have to rebuild from scratch. However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing image, audio and/or video files in the published site in the reconstruction of the site.
Also it might be a good time to develop a backup strategy.

How do I publish iWeb sites to launch separate tabs or windows ?

I have created a relatively simple home page with links to other internal (my pages) also created in iWeb and published.
How do I set/publish instructions to launch the subordinate pages in either a separate tab or separate window ?
Thanks for replies, all !

You might try what MyMac8MyPC suggested, publish each page as a separate site. I have a primary site made up of over 50 separate sites as pages. I use iWebSites to manage the multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.

How do I transfer iweb site to new macbook pro?

I used migration assistant to transfer from old macbook to new macbook pro. Both are using lion. When I open iWeb on the new computer it does not show my site. Both computers are connected by firewire, where do I find the files? This site is not published to mobile me, it is hosted by godaddy.
thanks

In 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. Once you've unhidden the library it's a simple matter of copying the domain file from your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on the old Mac to the same folder on the new one. You may have to create an iWeb folder on the new Mac if there is not one.
For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time 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.
Just launch the applicaiton, 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.
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 compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
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.
