IWeb '08 blog links

Hi,
I've made a iWeb blog and I am noticing my links acting funny and I have found no way to control them. If you go here: http://www.jenniferfragale.com/jf/photo_blog/Archive.html you can see that the names of the entries are light gray. When you simply scroll over them, they become dark gray. I want to be able to keep the link- including those directly to the comments- light grey until clicked upon. How can I set this up? This same problem occurs in the main blog page. Even 'READ MORE' changes color when scrolled over.
Any answers or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Same issue for me with iLife 09.
After 3 blog entries, the 4th one will not show up in Safari 3.2.1, but is there in Firefox 3.0.7! Very weird. I tried re doing the page but same result.
Please help! I've run out of ideas. My ulr is www.lifeclarityforums.com.au

How Can I Redirect a Webpage in iWeb to Another Link?

I have created a blog through godaddy.com for my website, and the webpage link is blog.XXXX.com.
I have a page on my site for a blog, but iWeb defaults to sending people to XXXX.com/blog.html.
Can someone please tell me how I can have iWeb redirect the link so that when people click on my "Blog" link it directs them to blog.XXXX.com?

sync your ipad to your itunes, save the book, sync her iPad, sync the book
same as you would sync a music from your ipod to your iPhone

ILife 08- problem with Podcast and Blog links on landing page

Hello I have iLife 08, running OS 10.4.11. The Podcast and Blog links on my iWeb landing page appear but don't do anything. All was working fine one week ago. They load, and when you mouse over it the links looks like they are going to work but don't.
Any ideas on what the problem is?
thanks in advance for your time,
-g-

Hi Chad,
Yes. I had a similar problem. The 1st click on an iTunes hyperlink (i.e. http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=97154883 ) occasionally does nothing for me in Safari. And as you described, the 2nd click usually works. I actually didn't notice the Safari window containing the link closing itself. I'll keep an eye out for that.
I'm running iTunes 6.0.2 with 2.0.3. See if running an update changes anything for you.

Broken Blog Link

Hello! I have been reading quite a bit of discussions and they have sure helped me understand building my first web site. Now, as stated in the Subject line, I have a broken blog link in my finished site and I need some advice on how to fix it.
You can test my site: seeyouatbonnaroo.com and see what I mean.
Thanking all in advance for your time and help. Robert

Robert, I can see that you have a problem with the RSVe-mail, Why and VIP pages. The Blog link works with the other pages of the site. Make a small change to those three pages and then Publish them again. The change can be something as simple as adding a space after a period.
Also, make sure that in the inspector palette you have a check-mark placed beside the line that says Include page in navigation menu.
Cheers!

Is there any Blogger themes like iWeb's blog theme?

I Like iWeb's blog theme, but actually iweb is not easy to use.
Is there any way to export iweb blog theme for blogger(blogspot.com) using?
Or, is there already a theme for blogger which is like iweb blog style?
thanks a lot.

Is there any way to export iweb blog theme for blogger(blogspot.com) using?
There is no export option of a iWeb theme.
When you publish iWeb pages, the objects (html, images and styles) that make the theme are in the published folder.
You have to edit a blogspot theme to display these objects.
Here's how I use [Thingamablog and iWeb|http://www.wyodor.net/iWebBlogTest>

Move iWeb MobileMe Blog to Wordpress

I had to migrate my private Blog about my 2 years old little daughter from Apples mobileme servers to a wordpress account.
I wanted to keep all the comments too (Marlas birth..). So i wrote a perl script to do the job. It is far from beeing perfect, but it works for me. So it may work for you too. You have to adjust some things, that‘s for sure.
Features:
-Keep Comments
-Keep Images (hmm mostly)
-Sets email-adresses for comments by Name
-Sets Tags by text strings occured in title or body
-Free, but my daughter will get every euro you donate! THX!
Note: The script works only while the apple servers are up. After 30. June all your comments are gone!

@MirkoW, would you like to wrap your pl script in an applescript app?
i can help you with that, so people like moopie can just double click and run your app without launching terminal.app.
sorry, i'm just can code some little perl. Applescript is completly new to me. I don't think it's worth the time since the mobileme servers are shut down in june.
moopie wrote:
Cyclosaurus, what an excellent idea! MirkoW, I gave it a try and got it to generate a file, but wasn't successful yet. I originally published my blog to a folder on my computer. The way my blog is set up, I have three separate sections, each with its own archive and RSS feed. Don't ask me why - it was the only way I could think to separate several different years of posts on my blog.
Hmm, we have to see if we can get the images right. The main problem is that iweb uses the same shapeimageXYZ.png shema for every post and wordpress need to have unique filenames. So my script is guessing the filenames wordpress makes out of them by importing. sorry my english is not as good it should for explaining in detail. Example
iWeb hat 2 posts both with
shapeimage_1.png
So the first post get's the filename shapeimage_1.png but the second post get's the filename shapeimage_11.png.
But what if you have later an image which has already the name shapeimage_11.png?
You got the problem?
For me it works with some tricks. so don't be afraid, i can look into it if you want.
moopie wrote:
Does the perl script need to be in the same folder as the posts I want to export?
No, the script does not use any local file, it get's all information directly from the mobileme servers.
Thanks for your patience - I do appreciate your help on this and I see the potential for your script. It's the closest thing to a solution I've seen so far. Worst case scenario, I'll get an engineer at work to help me figure out what to do!
can you give me the link to your blog? so i can look into the html code. I think that would be the fastest way to help you.

Lost iWeb '09 Blog Entries

I kept a number of blogs pertaining to my pregnancy and several other topics. A few months ago, I moved the blogs from my main site and created a new site I called Archive. My plan was to publish these to a folder for backup purposes, but the publish always fails.
My larger problem is that now, the blog entries seem to be...not gone, exactly, but I can't see them. On two, the main blog page shows up, and when I click on Entries, I can see the list of my entries and their titles, but I can't scroll through them (list snaps back if I release the mouse button). I can't click on them either. One blog works just fine. One shows the main splash page, but shows only the background of the Entries page.
iWeb won't let me move these out of my Archive site. I have been unable to publish them to MobileMe or to a folder. I've tried deleting plists, etc. but nothing works. Restoring from backup messes up my current sites.
Help, please. I'd like to not lose these. Are these files alive somewhere?

The entries are kept on the MobileMe server I believe and are linked to your main site. If you can move those blog sites back into your main site you might be able to get the entires back. No guarantee however.

IWeb 08: Blog page and Archive

I set up a new Blog. The first COMMENT (entered on the Comment page) shows on the Blog page. (it I had set it to show 4 comments) All other comments are on Comment page, but do not show on Blog page. Also, I do not understand how to get any of the Comments (now 10 of them) onto the Archive page.
Please help..

I am not sure what you mean "use report this post & ask that it gets moved,".How do I do this?
Sure bottom right of each post, every post has that link in the bottom right corner...
there is no "New Posting" mention when I go to the iWeb page
Right, I wish Apple would make it easier, but try this...

IWeb Newbie: Blog HTML Question

Hi, I'm relatively new to IWeb and have a question relating to blogs created in Iweb. When I create a new entry for my blog, and try to add a video for youtube (as a link) in place of the default picture, the video does not appear on my main page. I have used the html snippet and see the video on my blog entry page, however it does not appear on my main page. How do I go about including video's in a new blog entry page so I can view them directly from my main (intro) page? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

I am using the Modern Frame template for my web site. When I add the blog template, a pre-set template shows up. Is there any way to edit or change it?
no and yes... no, you can't do much of anything while working inside iweb; yes, you can change it by changing the template xml file. Suzanne Boben at 11Mystics.com have done it for years.
For example, I would like to change the hyperlink color from red to blue. It won't let me do that. I go to the hyperlink inspector and I can't choose anything.
outside of changing template xml, this can be done in two ways (beside the above method):
1) post edit the blog CSS file (search my post for blog CSS), this requires post edit and perhaps after every publishing.
2) build your own widget to change the blog CSS and you only need to add the widget once. see my example here: http://www.cyclosaurus.com/Home/CyclosaurusBlog/CyclosaurusBlog.html
the example is done with my widget.
Also, when I view the web site on my computer, it looks fine, however when I view it on my iphone 3GS it shows an old font that I was using, why?

Iweb and blog

Hi all i'm using iweb to make a homepage i have my own domain and space to put my site onto i want a blog but can't see the add comment when i pub to a folder and look at my handy work, all is ok until i get to the blog and nothing goes right, can someone please guide me on this and tell me away to fix my problem.
Thanks
Graham.

You join many others in discovering a problem with the mobile.me conversion. You are probably doing nothing wrong. The "publish" button at the bottom of the iweb application is not working correctly. It is publishing to web.mac.com even though it says otherwise. When this happens the comments function in the blogs will no longer work. Solution: Do not use the "publish" button at the bottom of the iweb application. Instead, go to the very top of your screen, select "File", then publish to mobile.me or Publish all to mobile. me. I think you will find that the comments function now works.
This solution will NOT work for many of us who have lots of users that have previously been given a web.mac.com URL. There are only two options: 1. Give your users the new URL; or, put a note at the top of the web.mac.com blog that tells people it is "read only" and that comments won't work, then use a link to redirect them to a mirror image of the site with a web.me URL.. It's a pain, I know. Apple needs to fix it but the company seems to be taking a long time to do it. Must be bigger problems on their plate.

Blog link is not working

Dear Friends, I try to describe what is my challenge.
Made a blog in iWeb:
http://web.mac.com/gyorgy.szimuly/SzimiStylesBirding_Experience/Blog_EN/BlogEN.html
The link of the first entry of the blog (American Wigeon - The 2003th Lifer) in the text box is not working when rolling over the mouse. Looks the reflection of the image overlaps the part of the text box disabling the link click-ability Only the last letter which is out of the reflection range is clickable. Anyhow I try to arrange the picture frame backwards I cannot achieve the desired result.
Any idea why this happens?
Interestingly it is working on the Hungarian page of the same content. :?
BR: Szimi

Any idea why this happens?
Because the link is in body layer and this image: http://web.mac.com/gyorgy.szimuly/SzimiStylesBirding_Experience/Blog_EN/Blog_EN_files/shapeimage1.jpg is in the header layer, which makes the reflection also in header layer.
The link does not work because of z-index: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/zindex.html
The body layer has z-index = 5 and header layer has z-index = 10.
Interestingly it is working on the Hungarian page of the same content. :?
The image in Hungarian page is in body layer.
So you need to move the image in English page to body layer - drag while hold down command key,.

IWeb Page Navigational Links not working with Internet Explorer 7

I'm hoping someone can help me out here? My wife created her 1st website using iWeb. I am testing the sites functionality before we publish it. All the pages and links work fine on Firefox and Safari for windows. However, the page navigational links are not working on Internet Explorer 7. All I see is a dot to the left side of where the page links should be. When I start the site in IE7 I get an Active X script warning and I am asked if I want to allow the script to run; to which I reply yes. After I allow the Active X script the dot to the left side of where the page links should be disappears, but the links do not appear.
Is there anyway to resolve this? Most of the members of her club have Windows based PCs and are using IE7.
Message was edited by: cviz821

Yes, Javascript is running on IE7 and other java script applets appear to be working with the exception of the Navbar script.
It would be great if my wife's friends used a "real" browser, unfortunately 70% of the people on the web use IE7, so this is a real concern if we can't get this to work. I'v seen other iWeb site on IE7 that seem to function fine, so I'm not sure what the issue is here.

IWeb 08 blogging with slide shows

Help!
I am using iWeb 08 in a fairly generic way. After seeing what her sisters have all been able to accomplish with blog sites such as blogger.com she wants to be able to include a slide show in her blogs. 2 questions:
1. I have figured out how to export photos from iPhoto to quicktime. It creates a simple but usable slideshow in .mov format. I then open iWeb, click on the "entries" screen, create a new blow, then drag/insert the quicktime movie into the "placeholder" image to replace it in the blog. The problem is that when i go to my website, which opens up to the home page that shows all of the recent blogs with the most recent one first, the embedded quicktime file doesnt play. It only shows the first frame. When i click on it, it takes me a page with just that one blog on it, and then the mov file works, and i get my slideshow. What do i need to do make the .mov slideshow work in the home page. My wife wants the slideshow(quicktime movie) to work on the main page...).
2. Second question. The quicktime slideshow is pretty generic. Sites like Picturetrail let you create pretty cool slideshows (flash files i believe) and then embed the html in your own blogsite ie blogger.com etc. I played around with embedding the html in iWeb and couldn't get it to work? A) can i embed a flash html in an iWeb blog, and B) will have the same problem of it not working on the homepage screen..
Sorry for the long post. Huge brownie points if i can get it to work, not to mention less grief for switching to a Mac
Thanks for your help!

I have batch renamed all my assets, deleted all my slideshow thumb nails and replaced them so none of the images in my slide show have the same name as other assets anymore. I am sure this is what caused the problem. I am about to reupload my website, so you won't be able to see the problem anymore (I sincerely hope).
The problem wasn't always reproducible. To be able to reproduce the bug you need 10 different slideshows (all with images called page_1.jpg, page_2.jpg etc with more than 50 pages in some of the galleries, and then you have to upload the slideshows, make changes to the website,upload again, then make more changes to the website, then go to all the galleries one at a time with the thumbnails visable then uncheck the show thumbnails box for all the different slideshows and upload again.
