Image Orientation in Blog and Blog Summary

Inserted a picture into a blog entry and rotated it 90 deg.
In the blog summary, on the summaries page, the image reverts to its original orientation.
Can't see a way to change the image orientation on the summary page, which would be undesirable anyway - don't want to have to edit two pages for every entry.
Has anyone experienced this problem?
Are there any solutions?
Thanks

I played around with the orientation manually, and found that if I change the orientation, the image would be correctly "orientated' in the lower part of the split viewer, but the actual image would be off by 90 degrees. I then reoriented the image back (sideways view in the bottom file-strip) and the large image would display correctly again, and, the bottom image corrected itself to the normal orientation. So, by changing each sideways image 90 degrees once and then back again, seems to "fix' the issue. Still not sure how I applied this feature.

Thumbnails of images don't display in Blog Summary

I'd be grateful if someone could help me with this problem. I am new to working with iWeb and have a site hosted on MobileMe. The address is: thismomentexactly.com. On the Blog Summary page, the images do not appear despite the fact that I have ticked "show images" in the Blog Summary dialog. Thanks in advance for any help you can give....

Merci!
Yes, that does sound like it was the source of my problem. I had assumed having an image on top of the placeholder would increase page loading times. I'll change my routine now. Thank you so much and my apologies for not looking around further before posting the question!

Photos in Blog Summary Not Appearing

Here's my site:
http://www.msadesign.com/msadesign/Blog/Blog.html
Notice that there are no images in the Blog Summary. This is really confounding. The image in the summary should be the same image that is ion the top of the blog post.
Here's a post as an example:
http://www.msadesign.com/msadesign/Blog/Entries/2010/6/3A_Xeric_DemonstrationGarden.html
I've tried changing the type of placement, but I do not know what else to try.
Anyone had this issue?
Michael

That's what I thought, too, but since all of the posts are without the image, I'm thinking it must be something else.
or you may not set blog summary to display the entry image place holder.
in iweb, in blog summary page... click on the entry excerpt and you get a HUD, you can select different Placement display (upper left, and a small downward triangle to the side).
iweb generates iweb:image element in the blog-main.xml (rss file), that in turn; it is used by blog summary widget to render the preview image in blog summary.
I'm hoping that you'll provide a translation here? Sounds like something I can fix?
btw, your blog-main.xml does not have any iweb:image element.
Ditto. It is the image element that is missing but how is it replaced?
the image place holder in blog entries tell iweb to generate the code or you didn't set the correct placement as I mentioned above.

Blog Summary Image

Every now and then when I visit my published site, the image associated with particular blog entries is incorrect and uses an image from a previous entry. I have changed the name of the image to see if that had any impact and it didn't appear to do so. It is difficult to actually replicate the problem as it only occurs rarely.

in blog summary page:
1) select blog summary entry.
2) blog summary settings hud will pop up.
3) select photo proportion to portrait.

How do I edit the image shown in my iWeb blog summary?

The image in one of my blog posts is a large, portrait format photograph–and its fine. However, the cropped version of the image that shows up in my blog summary is not a good crop. It shows an uninteresting part of the photograph and I would like to be able to change that. Is there any way to move or edit the area of the photograph that shows up in the blog summary?

1) select blog summary entry.

Blog summary widget and Firefox

I just started having this issue where the iWeb page when viewed with Firefox is truncated and the pages simply have Blog Summary Widget showing without any summaries and only one or two headlines and no links. However, if I view the page with Safari it looks and works fine. I've been posting on the blog for over a week without any viewing problems on Firefox previously.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't believe that I've downloaded any Firefox updates in the past 24 hours. I'm using Firefox 3.0.8. A friend using Leopard and Firefox is able to view the page without any problems, as is someone using Internet Explorer on a PC. So, I guess it's looking like it's a problem with my particular Firefox browser, eh?

Blog Summary Text Unformatted

Hey-
All of a sudden the text in the blog summary part is just unformatted. Any idea how to fix this?
Image here http://up.thelonepixel.net/8bz9
Thanks

Unfortunately, without getting into the barebones of the theme there is no way this can be changed. I know this from personal experience after having spent the last 2 months trying to build my own themes and finding out how bl**dy difficult it is.

Blog Summary Page: Pictures in blog entries are gone

All of my blog entries on the blog summary page no longer display images set inside the text of an entry. Is this an iWeb 2.0 bug or "feature"?
This is annoying, because with iWeb 1 I was able to share these pictures in my blog summary page and RSS feed. Now my blog and RSS readers have to click the "read more" link to see any pictures, even though I have set my blog summary length to the total entry.
This is a serious loss of feature for no good reason, and I hope this is considered a bug and will be fixed soon.

I was just getting ready to post a similar question when I ran across yours. I've been using Rapid Weaver for my blog and was thinking about switching over to iWeb, but until the pictures start showing up on the summary page (inside the text of an entry), iWeb is utterly non-functional for my purposes.
The other thing I noticed is that none of the formatting (like bold or italics text) shows up inside the text of an entry on the summary page either.
I, too, am very interested in whether this is a "bug" or a "feature."

Blog summary missing photo problem - solution?

Has anyone figured out why iWeb 08 is not showing photos on the blog summary page (home or main page) despite having Show photos checked?
Photos show up on the entries pages but not the *blog summary* pages.

I figured it out -
At some point, when I first created a new blog entries page, apparently, I deleted the default entries photo (I think it was a snowboarder?). Well, you need to keep the photos from all the templates that have functionality. This entries photo is key to preserving the summary page images (apparently).
So to fix it, you have to create a new entries page then drag a photo onto the default template photo for an entry.
Caveat: I don't know if this action was the cause (I don't think so) or other changes I made around the same time but, now the images for the search entry, RSS Subscribe, and Go to Archive are missing. Ugh.

Any blog templates safe in non-Safari browsers? Blog Summary Widget?

I've tried "Doodle" and "Darkroom" and in both cases, the blog summary page (first page) does not work in both Internet Explorer (Mac) and Firefox (Mac). In both, the Blog Summary Widget does not work. The pictures and text are missing and is replaced with text that says "Blog Summary Widget."
For the test, I did nothing to change or edit the templates. I just published them them as is. They look great in Safari, but no go in Firefox 1.0.2 and IE 5.2.3. I know these are probably not the most current versions of either, but I can guarantee that they're more recent than what my grandma has and she's more typical of my web audience I'm trying to do a family blog. I figured iWeb has cooler templates than Blogger.com and it would be easy since it's iLife. Too bad the blog page probably won't work on most computers' browsers. I don't have a Windows machine to test it on, but I'm guessing that they will be even more unforgiving. Is anyone else having better luck?
The only other factor is that I'm not using a .Mac account. I can't imagine that this could be the issue, but if it is, then that is really, really evil. It's bad enough that Apple punishes you for not having a .Mac account by making you FTP your entire site every time you make a change instead of incrementally (this is a separate thread topic).

Hello
I've settled on a modified Modern weblog template (http://www.kilayko.com) and it has worked well in the following browser/OS combinations:
Camino 1.5/Mac OS X
Safari 2/Mac OS X
Mobile Safari/iPhone
IE 6 and 7/Windows XP
Firefox 2/Windows XP
The only combination that seems to give me (a little) trouble is:
Opera/Wii
It seems to ignore the thumbnail images on both the main weblog and archive pages but the area is still clickable.
I know that these are somewhat newer versions than what you are targeting but it may point to a limitation in the JavaScript implementations in the older browser versions. It appears that many of the template elements make use of JavaScript for functionality.
I should note that I am also using .Mac - although I don't think that should make a difference for the rendering.

IWeb Blog Summary Widget error

I have seen this problem posted here before, but I'm posting it again. Why? Because it's an incredibly annoying error and I can't believe nobody has found a way around it.
The error is on the Blog entry page, the error code is BLOG SUMMARY WIDGET ERROR. It also lists a few lines that are problems, noting that a reference error is to blame.
I'm sure I am not the only person with this problem. I can't figure it out, my simple knowledge of Java isn't getting me anywhere in the code. Oddly, it isn't actually effecting my page in any way, with the exception of the error code. Anyway, anyone with suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.
The error happens here: http://www.mcbya.net/RepublicofThoronia/Blog
Another odd thing, the blog summary page refuses to acknowledge photos, even when I use the original image... very odd indeed.

I'm getting the same problem too. I've just updated my iWeb from 1 to 2. I've had to more or less re-create my Blog from scratch as the upgrade wrecked the summary and recent items pages (probably because I'd use jTemplate).
So I created a new Site, dragged the old blog over to it and created a brand new one in my proper site. I then copied all my formatting over AND all the entries. All looks fine in iWeb, but I see the same error messages as described here. Take a look here : http://www.andrewmay.biz/test/
Obviously I've moved a lot of stuff around from the normal White template, and deleted a few things too, but I would have hoped that iWeb wouldn't let me trash things that then broke it.

Getting photos to show properly in your iWeb Blog Summary?

Hi,
I'm trying to create an iWeb photo blog, but am having some problems. This is what I have so far: www.nigelivy.com
Basically my plan is to use the "blog home" as my site's actual home and to upload a daily photo. There are two problems that I have faced:
1. I can't get my photos which I add to each entry to show on the home page in the "Blog Summary".
2. When I did get the photos to show up, they were blurred. Is there a way of fixing this?
Any help would be appreciated! If anyone can recommend a iWeb blog template for this sort of site, please let me know...
Many thanks,
Nigel

When you use the image placeholder in a blogpage, the image is displayed in the summary.
When you delete that placeholder and simply drop an image on the page, that image won't be displayed.
Tiny details that make iWeb so interesting to use for some and confusing for others.

Multiple blog summary pages

I'm creating a new website for sharing news and photos for my family. I want to use the iWeb blog for my entries and plan to do some customization of my site through HTML snippits, iFrames, etc. I've been reading quite a bit on this forum and other useful sites on how to do more with iWeb, but I can't seem to find a solution for the following problem.
Let's say I allow 15 blog entries to be shown on my blog summary page yet over time I build a site with 50 or more entries. Then at least 35 will be on the archive page and that's alot to scroll through. I'd like to have the first 15 on blog summary page 1 then the next 15 on blog summary page 2, etc. Call it multiple archive pages if you will. But I want iWeb to keep track of the blog entries on those additional pages instead of me having to create new non-blog pages and copy and paste links to my entries.
Here's an example
http://allaboutiweb.com/
Any way to do this with iWeb 09?
FYI, I know there are a lot of other blogging software and hosting sites out there, but I want to use iWeb 09 because I've already created one site in the past with iWeb so I'm familiar with it. I also have a Mobile Me account with a domain name through goDaddy, so I'm publishing my iWeb site to Mobile Me with password protection.
Appreciate the help.

first, iweb limits blog summary to display 50 entries, so you are kinda limited if you want to have a continuous blog over the years.
if you have less than 50 entries per year, you have to break your blog into the year and have a master archive page and link all archive blog(s) to it.
once you decide what to do, you can use iweb rss feed widget to display the archive as feed, but i don't recommend iweb rss feed widget because it depends on mme server, unreliable at best.
instead you can use yahoo's pipes: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/
yahoo pipes is reliable and flexible, you can build your own feed that you can merge other feeds into one or keep them separate, here is my example of merged feeds:
http://www.cyclosaurus.com/Home/CyclosaurusBlog/Entries/2009/7/25Not_iWebWidget.html
or you can tag blog entries by key words or categories, your users can narrow down the entries display with it, here my iweb blog tagging (click on any tagged word on the right side):
http://www.cyclosaurus.com/Home/CyclosaurusBlog/Archive.html
all code is linked to my examples. to do the above, you need to know yahoo pipes, ajax/javascript and iweb inner working parts.

How to post multiple images in one blog post using iweb

Hi
I would like to post multiple images in a single blog post. When ever I add a second or third image in the "entry" section of iweb, it does not show up in the blog post on the homepage of the blog. does anyone know if it is even possible to have multiple, separate images in one post, and if so, how.
Here is a link to my blog: http://www.hoopography.com. You can see how there is only one image. I I want to talk about multiple items, I need to create an image in Pages and put them all together. I would really like to break out of the one box (placeholder) mold. I feel so constrained in iweb right now. I think I have done a lot with my blog, but I am always looking to learn more about iweb and improve my blog. Thanks for any help!!!

what's the url of your blog? I'd like to check it out. I'm always interested in learning more about iWeb to improve my blogs. Mine are: http://www.hoopography.com and http://www.wnysportscards.com

Blog entry didn't show up on blog summary page. ¿Por qué?

RE: Blog
Last night I wrote a blog entry, but the first few sentences did NOT show up on the blog summary page. I previously had set the blog entry length to be short (toggled far to the left), but there is a difference between a short length and NO length at all.
Why do you suppose this happened?
INFORMATION: Prior to writing the blog entry I was having difficulty with the picture not showing up on the blog entry page, and in trying to edit it and move text around I might have messed up some registration lines, or LINES. Could that have had an effect? I must say that of all the things involved in iWeb, this Blog feature has given me the most problems and made me the angriest. Just thinking about it right now has created a tight knot in my chest.

Go back to your main blog summary page in iWeb. Open
the Inspector to the RSS tab and slide the text
excert slider to show ALL (all the way to the right).
Does ANY of your blog text show up in this
particular entry?
.......... Lorna says ................................................
Well, Inspector Tseng, I toggled to the *Show All* position, and heheheh, none of the blog entry showed on the blog summary page.
If not, then perhaps you entered
your text in a different text box....did you add a
text box to the page? If it does, then maybe you
have some preceding spaces in the text box? Or
maybe you inserted a photo into the text box
inadvertently?
.......... Lorna says ................................................
James, last night I was having so many dang blasted flippin cockamamie problems with the picture that I moved a bunch of things around and recall making a new text box and typing into it. Grrrr.
I am going to return there and copy and paste and delete that page. I feel very bad that I cannot master the blog after so much stupid time. I also think that the blog needs to be more idiot proofed so that normally OK actions in other iWeb scenarios don't end up as yet another disaster on the ash heap of broken iWeb dreams.
