IWeb'08 and iWeb Enhancer
After installing iWeb'08, HTML code that I had inserted to my site and made functional with iWeb Enhancer now doesn't work. Has anyone discovered a work around? I contacted and posted onto iWeb Enhancer, but I haven't heard anything yet.
I'm considering uninstalling iWeb'08 and reinstalling iWeb'06. Has anyone done that yet? Does anyone know how to do that? Thanks.
This is the one gripe I don't have with iWeb08. HTML snippets work very well. Too bad for the guy who made iWeb enhancer.
Just copy the chunk of code from your rounded rectangle that iWeb enhancer needed to convert into working html and paste that into the HTML snippets.
Still doesn't change the fact that the iWeb 08 beta that we bought is terrible.
Yeah. I'm PO'd

Is maverick support iWeb and iWeb icons?
I created a web site in iWeb - some time ago - had a problem and was ar that time instructed by a Apple tech to pull the "opening web page app" out of iWeb and place it in the folder of the site - 5 years later I installed Maverick - and now I cannot find that "page app" (sorry don't know the correct title) I do automatically backup to my external hard drive - but before I try to search it- I wanted to know if Maverick will support the necessary "page app" so I can get back into the iWeb files to update the web site - the thought of telling my client that I can't update or change her web site is enough to give me the shakes - Anyone out there have an answer for me PLEASSSSSE?!!! thanks for any and all help Barb
Have no idea what the "opening web page app" is. Do you have the iWeb application in your Applications folder? If it's iWeb 2 it won't be compatible with Mavericks. Only iWeb 3 is.
The file you need to have to edit a website is the file named Domain.sites (Web 2) or Domain.sites2 (iWeb 3) that is located in your Home/Library/Applications Support/iWeb folder. That folder is invisible in Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks. Check in that folder now to see if it's there.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible in Lion or Mt. Lion enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Optionsmenu to bring the this window:
If you find the library there and have iWeb 3 continue with:
To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain 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 in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that 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.
If the domain file is not in your current library: do you use Time Machine to backup your Mac? If you do there's a way to recover that file from the invisible folder in the backup. Let us know if you are using Time Machine or another form of backup. In either case you will have to recover that file.
Suggestion: since iWeb has been discontinued for 2 years now it would be prudent for you to switch to a currently supported application that has more advanced features to rebuild the site so you can go forward from here. One application that many are moving to is EverWeb which is very iWeb like in it's appearance and operation, i.e. drag and drop, etc. There's a demo version you can try for 30 days to see if it will meet your needs.

IWeb and SEO Tool - best practice?
I have made an iweb website (published to a MobileMe account) and have downloaded iWeb SEO Tool.
I have understood that there is one certain procedure in doing SEO that's a lot better than the other.
What I usually do after making changes in iWeb is choose publish to MobileMe. But after following the instruction video from iWeb SEO Tool they say one should choose publish to folder and then open the iWeb SEO tool and the local folder and after that make tags and publish to mobile me.
I have noticed that my counter sometimes disappears when I have published (and have from other topics understood that this can happen if you do the procedure with SEO-ing the wrong way). I would just like to set a SEO-routine that I always follow after making changes in my site. Pleeeeeease can someone follow me through easy step by steps from saving changes in iWeb and to publication.
Many many thanks in advance!
/the NoviceIf you publish to a folder and then upload the files it's the same as publishing to a non-Mac server with these restrictions:
Features Unavailable When Publishing to a Non-Mac Server:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Blog RSS Subscription
◼ Hit counter
◼ Enhanced slideshows
So if you use any of these features you will have to published directly to MobileMe to keep them.
However, if the hit counter is your only loss you can add a much more informative 3rd party counter, like that from StatCounter, which would not be affected by the publishing to a folder. StatCounter also gives you much more information about your visitors other than just number. Old Toad's Tutorial #13 - Adding a StatCounter as an HTML Snippet has more information on that.
If you decide to go the 3rd party counter method you can publish to a folder on the desktop, process with SEO Tool and then use the free Cyberduck ftp client to upload the files to your MobileMe account. Cyberduck has the capability of uploading only the new or changed/editied files saving considerable uploading time.

Suggest alternatives to IWeb and GoDaddy?
Hello - As we are all aware there are limits to IWeb and GoDaddy. I'm a Macer in a PC world (this is changing but slowly). My PC pals have a difficult time viewing my website/blog and I want to upgrade my site so my pictures can load and fonts translate to PC. I do not sell anything it's just a site for friends and family but I would like to upgrade the look, enhance the capability with PC and Google and am willing to spend a bit of cash. I've heard of Dreamscape? Does anyone have other suggestions? I do the complete ease of use of IWeb despite some of the drawbacks. Thank you. Tami
www.curioustidbits.com is my blog.Hi Tamis,
You have asked several questions in your post. I will try to answer each one. I can see from your website that you like the free form style possible with iWeb. I have to caution you that achieving maximum compatibility with all browsers, especially Internet Explorer comes with a price.
There are a limited number of fonts that are considered web safe. A quick search in wiki will give you the list. Using any other fonts will risk problems with certain browsers. If you want to use a special font in a limited way, for example a title, convert it to an image first then place it into iWeb. The price you will pay if you over use this method is a much slower download time for your pages.
iWeb uses a number of features such as shadows and reflections that can cause problems with certain bowsers. I have found that it is best to prep your images to the display size needed and save them as jpegs. The results are quite predictable with this approach.
Choosing an alternative to iWeb will require a change in your approach to web design, a trade off you may not be willing to make. To get a feel for an alternative check out Rapid Weaver. I have used both and they each have their pros and cons. Rapid Weaver will force you into a template design. If you decide on Rapid Weaver there are two plugins that add some of the simplicity of iWeb, Stacks & Blocks. You probably will only need one of these.
Here is a website created with Rapid Weaver, www.quilts4u.com
Good luck with your website -
I am trying to move a picture that I brought over from iWeb and it is locked. I need to move it. Can anyone help?

Been building web pages for nearly 20 years, starting with GoLive. Went to Dreamweaver about 12 years ago, the Macromedia version. Tried going to iWeb when it came with a new Mac, but found it way too limiting with it's CSS template base. Unknowlingly, I then bought a new copy of Dreamweaver. Ooops, Adobe had bought Macromedia and Dreamweaver, too, is now CSS based, which for my money makes it useless to anyone who likes simplicity. Now I find that even iWeb has been discontinued. I was told yesterday that Apple doesn't have a web program any more. At 12 years old, I just don't think it's practical to try to load my old Macromedia Dreamweaver into the new Mountain Lion (I'm getting a new Mac), though it is running, barely, in Snow Leopard.
I need to find a web builder program that will permit simple construction of educational pages, nothing fancy, nothing artistic, just create a page, give it a color, type or drag in text, insert a table, insert pix in the table blocks, add text under the pix... done! I should note that I am not looking to build traffic. I teach simple things for free and people who want to learn those things (antique sewing machine repair, quilting, building longbows) find me.
I've downloaded trial versions of half a dozen or so programs and looked at maybe 20 more, but all are either CSS based and drive me insane with requirments for constantly making rules and template models, and/or require that you base your web presence in their server. Also, many will not work with pages built in other programs. I maintian a volume of over 1000 web pages, many requiring regular updating, and they have been with the same server for more than 15 years. I'm not about to change.
So, anybody know a simple, old fashioned web builder that's happpy on a Mac platform?
Captain DickAlthough not supported anymore, iWeb does still function using Mountain Lion...

... and you can purchase it from Amazon.
Start with a blank page using the Black or WHite template.
All modern websites use CSS and there are thousands of free templates to be had if you want to use a code entry style application. You will need to go this route if you want to create a site that is viewable on mobile devices although you can create an iPhone version using iWeb...

How do I access iWeb and iDVD on my new Macbook Air?
I just bought a new MacBook Air and read that I can load iPhoto 11, iMovie 11, and GarageBand from the app store, which I did. I don't see iWeb or iDVD anywhere, on the MacBook or in the app store.
I guess iWeb and iDVD are part of the iLife 11 package, which does not come with the MacBook Air (thought it did), but I wanted to check in case I am overlooking something.If you have another Mac that you can connect to your Air with a local area network or int the Target Disk Mode, Transferring files between two computers using FireWire, you would be able to run the iLife 11 installer disk on the other Mac and select the Air as the location for the installation.

I am using a new imac with osx lion 10.7.5 and have just bought Apple iLife 11 on dvd so that I can install iWeb and iDVD, as macs no longer ship with these apps. When I click on install iLife I get a message saying "iLife.kpg was signed with an invalid certificate.
Next problem is that when moving through the installer and get to custom install, as I only want to install iDVD and iWeb, I am presented with the option to install iDVD, Sounds & Jingles and iWeb, but not sure what is going on with the other 3 options iLife Support etc, they seem to be greyed out but still look like they may install over the top of the newer versions already on my imac. Is it ok for me to just go ahead and hit install? Or do I have a problem?Yep, just install iDVD (plus sounds and jingles) and iWeb if you want it (but note that iWeb apparently won't work if you upgrade to Mountain Lion).
Then use Software Update to get any late iDVD updates. -
So i'm trying to see how i can set up a website in iweb and edit that website from multiple computers and it stay up-to-date. is there a way to do this?
thanks, that does help a bit, i think i can figure that out. my next question is what happens to my existing iweb sites if i try to open a different DOMAIN file from a different source?
ie: i have like over 20 iWeb sites in my iWeb 2.0 that are in a DOMAIN file stored in the default location. if i go to open (by double clicking) a DOMAIN file from an iDisk for instance to edit it and it opens iWeb, what will happen with my other sites? and will this set that iDisk DOMAIN file location as my default? -
From old website and iWeb to new HDD and iLife '08?
I wasn't sure which category to post this in but this may seem more relevant to my issue.
I put a new HDD in my mac some time ago and also upgraded to Leopard OS. I created a site using iWeb 6 which still have saved on my original HDD which i now have for external use. I just bought iLife '08 but yet to install it as I would like to update the website I was working on rather than start from scratch. The site mainly consists of photos and videos where I used iPhoto and Quicktime Pro a lot. I have also copied my iPhoto library onto my new HDD.
What is the best way for me to copy and continue updating the site I was working whilst upgrading to iLife '08 so I can enjoy the benefits it has and use the features to help me progress with the site?
Any help much appreciatedPut the domain file in :
~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
Open iWeb 06.
If you start using iWeb 08, it will find your domain file and updates it to iWeb 08. -

What Can Be Done About Internet Explorer and iWeb '08?
I just finished building a website for a small business - my father's vet clinic - in iWeb. He wanted to use a program that would allow him to update the website himself. Everything looks fine on the Mac side of things, of course, and even on the Firefox Windows browser, though the picture galleries don't seem to load on some machines. In IE, however, links don't work, they go to the wrong pages, graphics don't display correctly, and the functionality of certain pages in compromised. I've been browsing on the boards and I am aware of the endless complaints of iWeb and IE compatibility, but I didn't know if someone could suggest some workarounds for me.
Here's the site: http://frvet.com
I am in the process of learning CSS site design, and I can lay out a fairly simple page manually, but there is a learning curve for it and my father won't be able to do his own updates. I suppose that he could learn the basics of Dreamweaver or something. At least Dreamweaver is more consistent. I made this site using the white template and just customized it. Thanks in advance for any feedback you can give me.Here's some pointers on getting your site to load in IE.
Use web safe fonts.
Don't convert text to graphics.
Optimize all your images.
Don't use drop shadows, reflections etc. ( You can add these in iWeb, take a snapshot, crop it and load the resulting JPEG to replace the original.}
Keep your page file sizes down to a minimum.
Run your files through an optimizing application before uploading.
Don't use the standard iWeb navigation.
For an example on image file sizes see....

I changed my header in iweb and when I published the site the font had shrunk and it displayed incorrectly. It was only on my home page, not on others. I have iweb 3.0.4. Help!?!?
Just in-case anyone els runs into this, I figured it out... I was working from my hotel and apperantly the fire wall was not allowing anything to uplaod, but I wasn't getting an error message from iweb, it would say that everything was published succesfully even though it wasn't. Once I went home and used my connection eveything worked fine.

Solution?
Go to YT and grab the code.

Apple put a new hard drive into my MacBook Pro and updated it from Lion to Maverick. They did not put iPhoto and iWeb on it but I did have it in Lion. They also didn't put Pages, Keynote or Numbers back on it until I argued with them. Of course, I didn't have my data backed up. My hard drive was destroyed when I tried to install the update of Mavericks myself. I should not have to buy iWeb and iPhoto when I already had them. Suggestions?
cwhargrave,
have you tried looking in the App Store, to see if you can redownload iWeb and iPhoto there gratis?
If you haven’t done so already, you should purchase an external hard drive to act as a Time Machine backup destination, so that you’ll have an option to rollback to a working environment if a new OS installation is troublesome.
