IWeb 09 and Godaddy Search Engine Visibility

Has anyone used GoDaddy's Search Engine visibility tool with an iWeb 09 site hosted through MobileMe? I love the simplicity of iWeb but would love to add keywords and optimize my site for web searches. Any advice?
cheers!

Hey,
This is a great programme.. it allows you to add page titles, meta tags & descriptions really easily for iweb.
Good luck!

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

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

How do i get Google and yahoo search engines to stay on Top Sites?

How can I get Google and Yahoo search engines to stay on "Top Sites"?

You pin the site to the top sites tiles
1. Hover your cursor over the site on top sites you want
2. Wait for the two buttons to show up in the top left corner
3. Tap the one with the pin so it highlights in blue

Only Yahoo and Bing appear in the search box and the Search engine manager only shows them too.

No matter what I try, only Yahoo and Bing search engines appear in the search box top right on Firefox. The Search engine manager only shows these two engines as well. I want to add Goggle and have not been able to. The default restore in the Search engine Manager is "Greyed out". What can I do to fix this ?

If those search engines are also missing in the searchplugins folder in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) then a (re)install should restore them.
If they are present then try to delete search.sqlite and search.json in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Create and manage multiple web sites using iWeb and GoDaddy

Now that Mobile Me is going away and the other comments in this discussion relate to iwebsites were written several years ago, I am looking for new and up-to-date information.
I have been building and maintaining a website using my MobileMe account and porting it over to GoDaddy.
I need to re-write the site if for no other reason than it is getting cluttered and needs freshining.
I would also like to create some other seperate web sites with their own URL
1) Is iWeb capable of doing this?
2) All the information I have found on iWebsites is at least 3 years old and there does not seem to be updates to that software.
3) Are there other tools that will allow me to do this?
And finally, does the group have any words of wisdom for me.
Thanks Dunc

It is now generally acknowledged that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
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
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
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: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.
This might be of some interest to you at this time: Life After MobileMe.
If you're running or planning on running Lion the following will be of some interest to you:
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.
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. This applicaiton can be use with earlier versions of the OS to select and open multiple 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.

Iweb site on search engines

I have been trying my very best to make my website (http://web.mac.com/bjcarreon) available on search engines because I think it's a great site and people can learn from my experiences but I have been only 1/4 successful because when you try to search for me in google, you can only search what's on the welcome page and not the sub pages. how do i make all the pages in my site, searchable?
is there an easy way to have my iweb made website searchable on line? please help.

mate - your in the wrong forum. you have the latest iweb version, and this is the one previous to it. in any case, you might want to check out my tutorial for making iweb sites be on google:
http://guimkie.com/projects/iweb/get-on-google-with-iweb/
as a way to make your site be more keyword attractive - make sure that none of your text is as images. if you use simply textboxes, the content will be moved into the html code and can then be picked up by google. text in images cannot be picked up by google.
for those having iweb 06, i have this article:
http://guimkie.com/projects/iweb/get-on-google-with-iweb-1x
i have some ads on my site, meaning it might generate revenue if you visit it. this is apple policy. i have to state it in order to be allowed to post this link here.

IWeb and GoDaddy combo question:

I built a web site (with pictures and videos) on iWeb '09. I'm using GoDaddy for ftp hosting. All the Login info is correct according to GoDaddy ie; login name, password, server address, user name. iWeb won't accept the password as valid. I've changed it on GoDaddy a couple times to reset and try again on iWeb. No luck. Any answers?

Try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
3 - launch iWeb and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain 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.
Another option is to publish your site to a folder on your hard drive and use a 3rd party FTP client like Cyberduck, Transmit or YummyLite to upload the files to the server. You might try one of those clients to see if it will take your user name and password. With them you'll get a Finder like window of your account folder on the server.

How can I restore the search bar drop down list and current search engine icon as it was in FF version 33?

Is there a way to restore the search bar from version 33?
I like seeing which search engine I have selected and the ability to change it with a drop down list BEFORE I highlight text, right-click, and select ' Search Google for "xxxx" '
Any way to roll back this latest "improvement"?

If you miss being able to switch search engines without going
crazy with menus, try this out;
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/context-search/ Context Search]''' {web link}
Expands the context menu's 'Search for' item into a list of
installed search engines, allowing you to choose the engine
you want to use for each search.

HT4623 I have just updated to the latest ipad setting and my search engine no longer functions, please help.

I should like to know if this may be a problem with the latest update iOS 7.1 and how can I correct it ,please. Thank you for your help.Rensah

Hi JimHdk
I was attempting to use google to find information. Google stopped working for at least half an hour. I decided to plug the ipad in to recharge as the battery was below 50% and left it. Later, On restarting the ipad I discovered that the search engine was, and still is, working.
I have heard that previous updates have caused problems to iPads etc and considered that this might have happened with this update, despite being unaffected on previous updates.
My ipad is fully working now but I am curious to know why it happened as it has never stopped working since I purchased the ipad 18 months ago.
I appreciate your contacting me I order to help. Many thanks, Rensah

I use bing as my homepage and primary search engine. Why is Firefox periodically showing plugin is disabled on Bing? How do I get it to stop doing this?

As stated above, Firefox disables some plugin the bing homepage uses. I don't want this plugin disabled. Firefox doesn't tell me what plugin it is. I don't want Firefox, mozilla, or anyone else deciding for me what plugins should and should not be disabled. This is my computer, not yours. How do I stop Firefox from acting like it knows better than me what plugins to disable and when?

In order to change the default search engine or the order of search engines in the top right search box in Firefox, please perform the following steps:
#Move the mouse cursor inside the search box at the top right of the Firefox window and click the down arrow next to the provider's logo.
#If you would like to select another search engine, simply pick the engine from the dropdown list.
In order to change the order of the search engines, do this:
#From the dropdown list, select ''Manage Search Engines...''.
#In the upcoming window, you have all your search engines listed. To change the order, simply click one search engine and then select ''Move up'' or ''Move down'' from the buttons on the right side in order to change the order of the search engines.

A fix to personal web domain name problem between iWeb and GoDaddy

There are numerous posts about problems with iWeb understanding both your personal name domain with and without the www.prefix. After five days, 25 calls to both Apple and GoDaddy where I was getting much conflicting advice even within each organization, and I experienced many problems such as the site not being found and iWeb asking for password authorization whenever anyone visited the site. The good news is that I was finally able to resolve the problem with these simple steps:
First, check that your Web site actually exists by going to http://web.mac.com/yourusername
If that works then you need to set up a forward in GoDaddy.
In GoDaddy's account manager, make sure that the forwarding address is set to http://web.mac.com/yourusername. This must be the same address that you just checked through your browser. (I also advise you to NOT USE the .ME designation that Apple is moving to. It's not solid yet. .MAC will work for a long time. It's web.mac.com/ that will work).
Then click on the Total DNS Control and MX Records link.
This is where my instructions that work differ from many other instructions, but heed my advice and you'll save a lot of time.
Look in the CNAMES area and make sure that the www host alias points to "@" and not to anything else such as "web.me.com" or "www.mac.com". If you don't have such an entry, then create one by clicking on the "add a new CNAME Record"button. Caution - if you don't use the "@" (at sign) here you WILL run into trouble where your custom domain name will only work WITHOUT a "www." prefix. (While this may not be a problem for your mac friends, most everyone using a PC will think they need to type in a "WWW." and that will cause a problem).
Then if you wish, you can also go back into your domain forwarding area and click on the masking tab and click to enable masking. This will make your url only show the short personal domain name rather than the very long iWeb mobile me URL appended with your personal domain name.
Confirm your entry, and then wait anywhere from 20 minutes to four hours or more for the tens of thousands of servers around the world to repopulate those instructions. I was able to see a change take place in minutes where my associate in another state didn't see the change for two hours. Don't worry, just wait.
If you do this, you should be able to then go to your Web site through either www.YourPersonalDomainName.com or YourPersonalDomainName.com
Good luck!

I was finally able to resolve the problem with these simple steps:
Many people would not be interested in using url forwarding/masking as you suggest to solve this issue, since that makes it impossible to bookmark individual pages of your site. For those who do wish to set the www CNAME to web.mac.com, I think the problem can normally be solved by also setting the @ A Record to 17.250.248.34.

Iweb and godaddy hosting

So I just purchased iweb and plan to create a website for when i travel to South Africa. Problem is I declined to sign up for .mac because I really only need it for 4 months and don't want to pay $99.
Godaddy.com seems to have some better prices but is there anyone here who can walk me through what I'd need to do to post my iweb creations to such a service? I need an ftp program right? Which should I use and how do I use it? Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Will

here here... I second that. I have had godaddy a long time, even while I had .mac. I got iWeb last night, and whipped up a couple images from MY trip to South Africa over the last two weeks!! interesting coincidence. take a look at what I did.
www.jrog.com
I used the blog system to link in multiple photo albums, as I don't see myself creating much in the way of blogs in the conventional sense, but it is handy to be able to create a new image gallery.
Godaddy gave me free hosting, but I ended up paying for the basic service, some $36 a year for 5GB of storage and 250G of monthly data transfer. Pretty insane if you ask me.
I told the salesman at the apple store last night that I would go back to .Mac the moment they allow for personal domain name compatability. Even Google's gmail allows you to setup an alternate domain name, and send emails as that domain user.
