Is iWeb suitable for me?

Hello, I've not done any web work before, although I'm fairly Mac savvy.
I want to be able to create a straightforward website with the following:
1, A relatively large number of thumbnail images (probably 100 minimum) which can be clicked on for more information.
2, A payment facility - Paypal would suffice
3, My own URL
Would iWeb be suitable, or do I need to look elsewhere? I looked at Rapidweaver, but that seems very similar. I've heard that things like Dreamweaver involve a steep learning curve, which I don't want to do unless I have to.
Thanks
Phil

1. Maximum photos on 1 photo page is 99. But you can have multiple photo pages. Clicking on one thumbnail will open up the image.
Or you can set your own thumbnails up manually and link them to other pages/files - you could then have as many as space allowed.
Aligning is generally easy, as boxes have markers and snap to. No support for tables yet though. Pasting has some intelligence, and pastes to the same location on different pages. So once you've set up one page, you can copy and paste to a blank one.
2. You need to cut and paste published HTML files to achieve this. You can't do this within iWeb itself.
3. iWeb allows you to publish to a folder for you to FTP to your hosting server.

  • Making an iWeb site for dialup users

    I'd like tips on using iWeb 08 to make a site (to be part of my mac.com space) that will be suitable for people with dialup connexions to use. This is for a Friends of the Library organization for a rural branch library, and most of our area has no access to broadband internet connexions, or if they do, cannot afford them. I understand keeping the graphics small in download size, and have used the application Imagewell to prepare the photos prior to placing them in iWeb or my Wordpress blog.
    But, for example, is there one template that is significantly less complicated/faster to download? I can use "view source" to look at them, and know a little about html, but would appreciate any suggestions on this.
    Can "site optimizers" such as Site Soap 1.3.1 or Web Site Maestro 6.5.1 be used with iWeb? Would there be any significant gain, given that I will already be making the images small & fast to download?
    Is iWeb contra-indicated for this situation? Should I use some other very simple html editor instead of iWeb?

    Website Maestro will significantly reduce you file sizes for faster download.
    For a photo example see....

    I tried Site Soap way back before I discovered WSM - no comment!

  • IWeb - looking for replacements for 'blog' & 'photos'

    With a deep Sigh..., I am finally facing up to the fact that I must move my iWeb Websites to another hosting sight and deal with the loss of the intergrated blog & photo pages that come with iWeb.  I kept hoping for a miracle but now I must get on with it.  I would be grateful for advice from those who have dealt with this issue already. 
    My biggest concern is finding suitable replacements for the blog and photo galleries that can be embedded into iWeb having a matching 'look and feel'.
    I have developed many robust (well of 50) websites with iWeb and they are active websites.   The websites have:
    Custom layouts (i.e. not using the suppled defalut template)
    Blog pages (used as 'News' entries)
    Photo pages
    iMovie
    HTML Snipits
    Many have been designed for use with charity events and recieve quite a bit of traffic (see stats below) before and during the event.
    As for the hosting - we will use GoDaddy or other Domain Provide with Hosting services.   We have already moved some of the more less complicated websites over. 
    I love iWeb (I know it has it's faults and I have probably pushed it to it's limits but it has handled it well).  I have tried looking at other products like Rapidweaver & Freeway Pro (Dreamweaver would be out of the question for me as I'm not a programmer - I can deal with some basic html code for snippets and such - but that's my limit).  My partner has begun looking at Wordpress.  However, the biggest drawback from what I've seen from these other products is that I can't duplicate the freedom and ease of designing a template/layout the way I want it.  I have tried to duplicate a website I have done in iWeb and I simply can't do it with these other products (at least without a great deal of work - if at all).
    So, I wish to continue using iWeb for the main website desgin but desparately need to find good replacements for the blog and photo galleries to move over my existing websites.
    Please HELP!  
    This is my 1st time up on the forums so I do apologise if this has been dealt with before.  In my searches - I just haven't really found an answer which is why I'm submitting this question.
    Many thanks, MichelleSC
    P.S. I have been an Apple user since Apple began and have always raved about their products.   This is the 1st time I have been frustration with Apple.  I really wish they would continue to develop iWeb and keep Mobileme.

    Do you have visitors post comments to your blog or it is one the only includes your entries?  If it's the atter then you can continue to use the iWeb blog. If you currently have visitors comment on the entires you will have to move to a new blogging system, one of those suggested by Ethmoid and Jeff.
    As for photo albums I've just run across a new site called ZangZig which offers albums similar to MobileMe galleries with most of it's features plus one that MMe didn't have.  The capability of selling your photos. 
    One convenient feature of it is that it can move/copy photos from your existing MMe galleries as well as your iPhoto library and other sources:
    As for for iWeb can do after MMe is gone read the following:
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    Currently if the site is published directly from iWeb to the 3rd party server the RSS feed and slideshow subscription features will work. However, if the site is first published to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded to the sever with a 3rd party FTP client those two features will be broken.
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: iW14 - Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.  There's a link in the tutorial to download the file that one needs to be edited and replaced in existing slideshows and in the iWeb application for future slideshows. Once replaced in the application it's back to life as usual for iWeb.

  • DVD Burn problem. "Device error - the target device isn't suitable for use"

    Hello everyone,
    I initially had a lot of problems with PE8. However the nVidia driver update solved most of them.
    Just thought it was important to report success as well as failure!
    However one problem remains. I get the following error at the 96% mark while burning. "Device error - the target device isn't suitable for use". It is always at the 96% mark and the program is "compiling [something]" when this happens.
    Having searched this site I notice that user rgferg posted a similar problem 13 days ago but was redirected to repost in a different place, but never did.
    I have tried to burn a 1hr clip 4 times and every time I have selected the slower burn speed (8MB/s) as has been suggested. It seems that inferior media is a culprit, so I have bought some [quality] Verbatim DVD-R media to try in my Phillips SATA optical drive. I am sceptical this will work, but open minded nonetheless. I will give it a whirl when my computer has stopped capturing the VHS I am working on.
    Each time the burn failed the disk was automatically ejected and the burn process had actually started and progressed perhaps ~40% or so.
    This indicates to me that it is a drive sharing issue, rather than a media issue. Somewhere on this forum it suggests that I go through a 20+ step process and delete/disable every piece of software that can compete with Premiere among other things. IF I do this what do I burn with outside of Adobe? Do I have to get imgburn or whatever it was called? What if I like Nero? Nero 6 has worked great for me for 3 years.
    So given I am willing to uninstall my old optical drive burning software, who out there can recommened commercial software that for them creates a painless Adobe burning experience with no errors or conflicts? Perhaps there is another solution that I did not see on this forum?
    I am running Windows XP SP3. I have the latest nVidia drivers for my SLI GeForce 7600 GS cards. I have 3 monitors. RAID 0 SATA, 2GB RAM, Athlon X2 5400.
    Justin.

    OK been working through the list of 20 things Adobe recommends to fix DVD burn error. No luck yet:
    system meets minimum requirements
    Project size does not exceed disk capacity
    successfully burned project to DVD folder -thus skip to step 8.
      8.   Using new blank media for burning
      9.   Try different media and DVD burners. Bought Verbatim DVD-R. Don't have another DVD burner. Adobe's supported burner list is VERY short, so of course mine is not on it.
      10.  Uninstalled Nero 6. Did NOT uninstall Acronis True Image workstation or Lightscribe. These do not access the drive unless I say so!
      11.  Have not yet disabled startup items and services. This will take a lot of work and will leave to last. Deactivated Spybot thus far.....
      12.  Disabled IMAPI CD burning COM
      13.  DMA if available already set. Haven't set this in BIOS yet. I already think it is, but will check next boot.
      14.  Updated DVD firmware
      15.  Already updated nVidia drivers
      16.  Don't have any other DVD drives to disconnect.
      17.  MPEG workaround. Will resort to if required.
      18.  Disable Autoplay? XP only has "prompt me each time to choose an action". I have set this for ALL file types.
      19.  Have NOT refreshed the DVD drivers in the registry. This step involves uninstalling PE8. Will leave this as last resort.
      20.  Visit forums to see if other have the same problem. Hi guys
    So still working through some of the items above.
    Can anyone direct me to advice on how to write the encoded files sent to the hard drive, or the VOB files that PE8 failed to burn to a disk? Will the former work with DVD menus?
    What a process.
    Stay tuned.
    Justin.

  • I want to open excel spread sheets make additions and export back to pc users.  Is numbers suitable for this activity?

    I want to open excel spread sheets make additions and export back to pc users.  Is numbers suitable for this activity?  I am using a MACBook Air

    just read this in an other answer:
    Pages can open docx files, Numbers can open xlsx files. Each can export to  can export .doc or .xls to the newest Word or Excel format.respectvely, but not to the more recent .docx or .xlsx.
    Translation is not perfect in either direction. Numbers and Excel handle some similar features (eg. pop-up menus vs data validation) differently, and the translator cannot translate from one implementation to the other.
    If much of your work is going to be transferred between your machine and Windows machines running either MS Excel or MS Word, with editing taking place at both ends of the tunnel, then you'll probably be better off with Office, or one of the Office clones on the Mac end.

    does not contain a static 'Main' method suitable for an entry point

    Hi bkshn,
    This error is caused by the missing "Main" method in your project. it is the entry point of your project.
    If you want to create a EF project, you could follow the way in the aricle below.
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/ee712907#codefirst
    The Main method is like below.
    class Program
    static void Main(string[] args)
    using (var db = new BloggingContext())
    // Create and save a new Blog
    Console.Write("Enter a name for a new Blog: ");
    var name = Console.ReadLine();
    var blog = new Blog { Name = name };
    db.Blogs.Add(blog);
    db.SaveChanges();
    // Display all Blogs from the database
    var query = from b in db.Blogs
    orderby b.Name
    select b;
    Console.WriteLine("All blogs in the database:");
    foreach (var item in query)
    Console.WriteLine(item.Name);
    Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit...");
    Console.ReadKey();
    And you could start to learn the EF from the following MSDN blogs.

  • Apple Travel Adapter suitable for MBA?

    In the Apple Store website, the products listed as suitable for the Apple Travel Adapter Kit includes the MacBook but does not mention the MacBook Air. (The MBA's MagSafe Power Adapter is 45W; the Mac Book's is 60W) Has anyone used any of the Apple adapters with an MBA? I'm going to be in Argentina next February and would like to use mine while there.
    Hope someone can help me!
    Warewolf

    The travel adapter kit is only the detachable plugs that you can swap out on your brick. I have used the travel adapter kit appropriate attachments in Europe and UK and it works perfectly. The brick itself is the "converter" for your MBA. The travel adapter kit is just the interchangeable plugheads.

  • Any way to set up iWeb pages for file download / sharing?

    I have been using .Mac Homepage to set up several web pages to share audio files with my clients. I have been able to set up a different web page for each client, each with their own password, with files there for them to download.
    Is there a way to duplicate this using iWeb now that .mac homepage sites are going away? I don't want the audio to stream, I just want to make the files available for downloading, and don't see any page templates in iWeb '08 for file downloading.
    I know that I can use mobileme's new file sharing feature to email links to individual files, but this doesn't work as well as having all the files downloadable on one or more web pages.

    If you have all of the sites in one domain file you should be able to upload only the changed pages but it's been a while since I used 08 so don't remember. You can move each site into its own domain file so that only that site is edited and published. And if you're publishing directly to mobile me only the edited files should be uploaded.
    I use iWebSites to manage over 75 individual 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 and move it to another location on your HD until you're satisfied the separation process is completed and what you want.
    This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want. Make sure you're running the lastest version of iWeb, 2.0.4 I believe.
    An example of files set up for immediate download is Toad's Cellar. Each linked is linked to a zipped file which downloads when clicked on. The site could be password protected if so desired.

  • Device Error-The Target Device Isn't Suitable For Use

    I read this in another forum after I experience this problem. Hope it helps some of you. I encountered the problem when I was exporting my finished movie. I had added a few effects like transitions and menu makers as well as stop markers to my timeline. When I went to Share, Create Disc and was exporting to a folder on my drive so I can preview the movie before I actually burn it to a Disc. During encoding well after 50% it stopped and said "DEVICE ERROR-THE TARGET DEVICE ISN'T SUITABLE FOR USE". I tried a few things that were normal when trying to export.
    1. Restarting.
    2. Created a new folder.
    3. A different drive.
    4. A DVD-RW.
    Nothing was working, so I turned to Adobe forums and others like it. I found that Stop Markers can cause problems as well as some menu markers. It advised to delete the markers and try exporting again. Sure enough it worked, it exported with no problem. But I didn't like that after watching to video and reaching the end it would go to the next chapter without going back to the menu like most DVD videos do after playing. So I restarted Premiere and added all my Stop Markers to the timeline and began to export the movie and it worked just fine. I'm guessing that it just needed to be deleted and added again later after doing a restart so the computer has a fresh cache. Restarting computer works well after 1 hour of editing.

    Erwin - thank you for the tip.  I have had the same problem and tried several builds as you have taking aroound 2.5
    hours per build.  Removing the Stop marker has enabled me to write to a directory, Still have an error with regard to the menu not automatically shoiwng.  However, as I write, burning direct to a DVD to remove any copying problems..
    Again, many thanks for your help.
    Tony
