IWeb '09 and WordPress blogging

As a volunteer, I currently have two web-sites for separate annual public events published by iWeb and hosted by GoDaddy. Each event is autonomous from the other. One event is for a history-based reunion in the summer, the other for a winter festival.
If I were to create a blog on WordPress.com (which I assume to be a free service) for each event, is there a way to connect the WordPress.com blogs to their respective event web-sites, so that each site could show a "blog" page in the header and allow a visitor to visit the blog without leaving the event's web-site?

I found this tip on the iWeb Unlimited tips blog, and was wondering if this could be used to do what I was asking about in my Original Post in this thread:
iWeb Tip #2 – iFrames in iWeb (Websites within Websites)

What do you think?

IWeb, templates, and WordPress

I created a nice simple website in iWeb 08, and it has served me well. However, I now want to upgrade and use a template from WordPress. Am I able to import the template into iWeb and then edit the bits I want, or should I be using something different altogether?
Any suggestions gratefully received here. I am migrating the site to a Tucows shop, and they support WordPress so should I possibly be doing it online rather than here on my Mac?
Thanks for any help

iWeb is not a webeditor for Wordpress. It's an application to create webpages.

IWeb '09 and Wordpress

So I just started a wordpress account and I wanted to use iWeb as the editor, instead of downloading one of the other suggestions on the wordpress site. However, I am unsure how to go about doing this/if it's possible. I was wondering if the FTP publisher would be the way to go?

Use iWeb '09 with Google Blog or Wordpress

it's possible to use iWeb '09 with Google Blog or Wordpress?
If it's possible, how?
I'm still new to iWeb and blogging...
Hope someone can help me with this...

Moving wordpress blog to iWeb

I am building a site right now with iWeb 09. Is it possible to import old content from a basic wordpress template to my new iWeb page? If so, are there instructions online about how to do so? I am having a difficult time finding anything. Thanks in advance.

iWeb can't import anything. A wordpress blog is a lot more flexible than an iWeb blog. I would keep it and either link to it from iWeb or put it in an iframe on an iweb page.

IWeb and Wordpress headers

Is there a way I can use my standard wordpress headers with an iWeb website? I have the wordpress blog all up and running already and can already use the headers with any PHP file with the simple <?php include ('wp-blog-header.php'); get_header(); ?> tag at the beginning. Is there a way to do this in iWeb? In other words, is there a way to tell iWeb I only want to publish content that is inside the <body></body> tags and to use PHP code for the header and footer?

The problem with this is that in iWeb, you would need to make any alterations after you have published your site to your desktop, because before this there will not be any code for you to alter.
Select the option publish to a folder from inside iWeb and then use an html editor such as TextWrangler to alter the code. Also remember that if you happen to make any alterations to your site at all you will need to do this every time and then re-upload. You may wish to reconsider?
Also where are you publishing your site to - MobileMe or another host/server? If MobileMe it does not support PHP.

IWeb and Networked Blogs

Anyone know how to get iWeb working with Networked Blogs? I specifically want to be able to update the blog on my website and have it automatically go to my FaceBook.
It tells me it's a valid RSS feed BUT it won't work because:
This feed is valid, but interoperability with the widest range of feedreaders could be improved by implementing the following recommendations.
Your feed appears to be encoded as "UTF-8", but your server is reporting "US-ASCII" [help]

I just purchased a new iMac, and can't get into my Wordpress blog. The username and password work on my old Macbook, iPhone4, etc, and all my other password-restricted sites are accessible...just not Wordpress. Ideas? New to all this...

Try holding down the Shift key in Windows when opening iTunes. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to an existing one. The default location for your iTunes library is in C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\ (or C:\Username\Music\iTunes\ in Vista). Look in there and see if you have more than one library file (they have the extension .itl) If you have more than one try opening them in turn, you may find your original library is still intact: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file

Wordpress blogs and Safari

This isn't new, but I've reached the point of sufficient frustration to post something here.
The blogging framework at Wordpress.com seems to be as good as useless in Safari (5.1.5), on both my iMac and the latest version on my iPad. On the iPad I have the Wordpress blogging app, which works fine, but I share the iPad with my wife and cannot always use it when I want to post a blog.
Searching the web, I seem to find quite a bit of rather inconclusive correspondence about incompatibilities between Safari and Wordpress. This, usually seems to end in suggestions to use a different web browser. Also seem to be lots of recommendations to delete cookies, cache contents etc, generally to no effect.
Today, my iMac is running really well, yet it simply will not open my Wordpress blog, not any other Wordpress blog I want to read. I even blew the dust off my Windows laptop and tried with that, using Internet Explorer. It loaded them just fine. Every experiment I have tried points to a major incompatibility between Safari and Wordpress.
Neither Wordpress nor Apple seem to be owning up to this.
Anyone solved this issue?
Thanks.
Tom

Issue with Safari 5.1.10 on my Mac 10.6.8: Since yesterday all my WP sites are dead, WP Login failed. Safari tells me: "Safari can’t open the page “http://gamewidgets.onemac.net/” because the server where this page is located isn’t responding."
Cleared Cache, checked all sort of files...No luck !
FTP with ForkLift get funny, works perfectly with FileZilla !
ALL perfectly working in Firefox and Chrome with NO issues at all(Display, Login...) - I'm totally confused !!!
Oi, Apple you screw it !
Update: My host(onemac.net) now complitly failed working in Safari - AGAIN with Firefox and Chrome with NO issues at all - Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarghhhhhhhhhhhh
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp

CS5.5 and WordPress Multisite

So, I upgraded from my CS4 to CS5.5 last week. I've extremely excited about the Live View / Inspector aspect of editing my php and WordPress projects. I'm running this on a suped up win 7 box. I deleted/uninstalled my old xampp setup and downloaded a new one. I'm going to have a Solr search engine for a WordPress Multisite blog/directory when I'm all done. So, I spent the time to also set up tomcat and get an instance of Solr running on my local machine. (not that this is important, but shows I'm not a complete beginner).
I've followed the tutorials on setting up WordPress to be able to do the testing server, live view and editing. Everything works fine on a new single blog install (I started a brand new one just to check and to do the Lynda.com tutorials, which are working just fine.) But, when I go to the Multisite Sub-Blog and set up the discovery of the related links DW gives me a whopping 4 files that are linked. I can follow the links on the live view pages, but the dynamic linking files are not showing up in the top toolbar? I can't jump over to the header.php file and then back to the index.php file, because they are not finding all of the linking php files.
As, I mentioned, it's a multisite only problem, becuase it's working on a single blog install just fine. I thought maybe it was because of the addressing, the testing folder was different from the root website. So, I edited the vhosts.conf file and hosts file to add a specific testing domain name and there was no change except that I don't get the error anymore when I set up the testing server that the site url of "/" doesn't match the one I had that was "/mydirectory/".
This was an older site that was set up in Dreamweaver that I just kept changing all of the local testing environment stuff, but the link to the remote server was still active. So, I thought that might be causing the trouble because it was going out to that server to try to follow some of the dynamically linked pages. So, I completely deleted everything and started over with a fresh Site with just the Testing server set up, fresh wordpress, fresh evreything. I am able to discover the related links in the file right up to when I turn on multisite in a sub-directory install and the whole discovery of related links wigs out.
If you look at the http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network I checked the dynamic links at each step. It worked turning on Multisite and going to network setup, but as soon as I entered the code in the wp-config.php file for defining a multisite and added the .htaccess file then the whole thing breaks.
I'm sure it has to do with how the path is loaded somehow dynamically, but as many people that there are running this combo, of Dreamweaver 5.5 and trying to work on Wordpress, and maybe a Multisite install since it's so much easier in 3.0+ I was surprised that there was nothing on the web about this issue.
Thanks for any help upfront.

The WordPress Multisite does use mod rewrite in .htaccess. The contents of that are found in the link I provided on setting up a WordPress Multisite install found at WordPress.org. As each of the sub-blogs require the use of elements and data from the main site and structure to draw the pages I do not think that setting up each sub-blog as it’s own site definition would work. It would still have issues finding the relating files. I guess, if someone figured out how to use Dreamweaver on a blog hosted at wordpress.com to edit themes and such that would probably flow to solving this issue as well.
Since this is on a Development XAMPP server on my own machine, if I put the .htaccess code in my httpd.conf file instead would that make a difference? Or is it the mod rewrite that is the issue no matter where it resides?
I basically decided to set up each sub-blog as a completely separate “site” for now since all I’m sync’ing is the theme folders anyways at that point and all I was truly after was the Live View / Inspector for making the layout changes. When I did that though and activated all the plugins that I’m using I noticed some issues with file discovery as well. I saw in one of the tutorials that there was a way to link a style.css file manually for “design” prior to uploading the site. Is there anything inside of Dreamweaver that would allow us to manually add the necessary php file for the finder. I’m pretty sure that it’s getting stuck at the line that is saying (dirname(__FILE__) . “wp-load.php” or something like that (off the top of my head). Once that relative file would be found my guess is that it would discover all the other ones? Or there is an issue with the ABSPATH variable being set early on in the WordPress installation.
At this point I’ve tried a dozen different ways to get this to work and it’s obviously broken. Since it’s so prevalent (I think a lot of the posts I read had this also as a multisite drupal/joomla issue as well) that it would be something worth figuring out how to provide a work around.

An error occurred while publishing file "/Web/Sites/iWeb/Jim and Steph's Si

I'm guessing this is a common message most see when they try to publish their website. Reason I say this, is it is the only message I have recieved in the last week when trying to use this faulty software.
Here it is again if you missed it:
An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/Sites/iWeb/Jim and Steph's Site/Jim's Blog”.
I got this MacBook week ago yesterday. Totally excited to share pictures and blog information. Spent 99 dollars or close to it for a mac account to simply share this information on the web. The first four pages (all pictures), I published worked well. Then I updated to iWeb 1.1.1 and tried to publish with blogs and more pictures and it won't work. Now all that I published before does not even come up. I emailed support here on mac.com and got the generic reply that I have already read on this forum. I tired as many fixes as I could to no avail. Two questions:
1. Any ideas to fix this problem?
2. Can you get your money back?
Sorry this was so long.
Thanks everyone,
Jim B

Jim...
Try doing a "Publish All to .Mac" if nothing else works for you. And if I could make a recommendation, it probably wouldn't be a bad thing to simplify your site name (Jim and Steph's Site) and eliminate the apostrophes (also in Jim's Blog). A longer site URL with complexities such as punctuation and spaces and even capitalization can potentially wreak havoc on your site navigation and function. Simplifying your site and page names will at the very least lead to shorter and more recognizable URLs...and when you start to add more pages it will also make the navigation menu at the top of your pages look "cleaner". Think simple names, like "oursite" and "HeSays" or "SheSays"
Just a suggestion.

A Basic Guide on Adding a WordPress Blog to OpenCart

Blogging is an effective and inexpensive way of engaging with your customers. Creating blog posts constantly provide search engines fresh content to index, which eventually help set you up as an authority in your domain. Blogging help you connect with your target audience and build trust within your own industry, by providing valuable information about your business.
When it comes to build an e-commerce website, an unfortunate reality is that some people believe that blogging isn’t necessary for e-stores or e-commerce website. But, that’s a wrong notion!
As a matter of fact, it is more important to create blogs when you’re selling something, owing to the fact that customers doubt buying online. And so, offering products at lower or discounted prices may not even work in drawing your customers’ attention. However, having a blog section in your e-store can help you create brand loyalty. But, the problem is that e-commerce sites don’t come integrated with blogging functionality.
Luckily, there are some great blogging platforms out there that can be integrated within your e-shop. WordPress is one such excellent and the most widely used platform for creating blogs. Once you’ve decided to integrate a WP blog, it is also very important to ensure that you’re using a reliable and coveted e-commerce platform. Most of us have a tendency to use Magento platform for building online stores or sites, however, for creating a small or medium-size e-store or e-shop OpenCart best fit your needs.
Through this post, I would like to talk about how you can integrate WordPress powered blogs to OpenCart using Wordpress Blog Feeds extension. But before proceeding further let’s first have an overview of the OpenCart e-commerce platform.
OpenCart – A Brief Introduction
OpenCart is open-source software that helps set up an e-commerce site cost-effectively. It is an ideal choice for small and medium-size merchants for creating their online site. It is lightweight e-commerce software and is easier to handle. Just like Magento e-commerce platform. OpenCart also comes with tons of extensions (or add-ons) that help embed extra functionality into an online store.
Overview of Pre-requisites
Let's have a quick overview of pre-requisites you will need for integrating a WP powered blog in OpenCart:
WordPress version compatible with your OpenCart installation.
Access to cPanel.
Acquire ZIP file for the “WordPress Blog Feed” extension from the OpenCart site.
Install vQmod folder because the extension we are using for the integration requires this folder to operate.
How to Install WordPress Blog?
Step 1 – First, you will need to login-in into your Cpanel (or you can even choose to use any FTP client in case you've knowledge about working with FTP).
Step 2 – In this step, you need to upload “Wordpress Blog Feeds” extension zip file into your OpenCart directory.
Step 3 – Next, from your cPanel logged-in screen you can view an option “File manager”, from there click on the zip file where your OpenCart installation is being uploaded. And then, choose EXTRACT to uncompress the extension zip file. Make sure to save your uncompressed file in the vQmod folder.
For example: When you access and open your OpenCart URL or folder location/vqmod/xml/, the file you need to extract will be named as vba-blog-feed-to-article1.xml
Now that you have extracted the file, simply navigate to the vQmod folder and click on vba-blog-feed-to-article1.xml. And then, select EDIT. This will return text that will look something like:
Once all changes to the file has been made, remember to click on the “Save” button in order to save the file entries.
Summing Up!
Irrespective of whether you’re running a small business or a medium-size e-commerce business, blogging frequently will help you build trust and enable you to connect with your customers. Put it simply, an online store selling products can take advantage of blog to drive more traffic to it. Moreover, by writing blog posts about your offerings and its qualities may encourage a user to access your site. If you’re using OpenCart software to build an e-commerce site, then you can choose to integrate WP blog in it. Hopefully reading this post will prove a good starting point, helping you become familiar with the integration process of WordPress blog into your OpenCart site.

Hello,
You can try adding a wordpress blog to your Muse site. You should be able to do this. There shouldn't be any issue with it's functionality (You may need to work some more on the design part - This is just in case there is some issue with the wordpress code and the code generated by Muse in the backend). Please also have a look at this related post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4825190

My Adsense Ads do not show on Wordpress Blog Sidebar. All that shows is a blank box. The Adsense ads show just fine in Internet Explorer. What is wrong here?

Adsense Ads are not showing up on my WordPress Blog Sidebar. The same ads are showing on Internet Explorer, but not on my Firefox Browser. What is wrong here?
http://www.BuyBeadsOnlineBestChoice.com

Actually, my AdSense is set up to work differently on the actual blog post pages. If you look at this link
[http://mytruckalogue.blogspot.com/2012/03/going-back-to-work-for-marten_20.html http://mytruckalogue.blogspot.com/2012/03/going-back-to-work-for-marten_20.html]
there should be
1.) a 300x250 block of yellow text ads just under the the post title
2.) a 300x250 block of yellow text or image ads at the top of the sidebar, and
3.) a 300x250 block of template color text or image ads just under the Blog Archive.
Incidentally, I can't see my blog at all at this moment because my company has disallowed viewing personal websites and blogs on their wifi. REAL bummer! Sitting in my truck waiting for dispatch and can 't work on my blog :-(
But I'd be grateful to know if anyone else can see these ads - I can, at least, view this website.
Thanks much :-)

I have iweb 2 and want to upgrade to 3. how?

i have iweb 2 and want to upgrade to 3. how?

You need to purchase iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: iLife '11 - Apple Store (U.S.). iWeb has been discontinued so as long as supplies last you can get it.
It is now confirmed 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.
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
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.
In addition 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 copies still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD.
Happy Holidays

IWeb '08 and missing comments

I know that there has been some discussion on other threads about comments suddenly disappearing from sites that were made in iWeb '06 and then converted to iWeb '08. (All of my comments disappeared after upgrading...) Before I give up and just accept that all of my comments are gone forever, I thought I would ask:
Has ANYONE successfully upgraded their .mac site from iWeb '06 to iWeb '08 and actually had their blog comments survive (ie. not disappear forever)?
Thanks for your input!
