IWeb 8 welcome page

I would like to change the background on my welcome page without retyping and redoing the pictures. Is it possible to change the background easier?

Yes. No retyping, no redoing of photos.
In iWeb, choose Welcome page in the Site Organizer. Now open Inspector:
Inspector/Page Inspector/Layout/Page Background/Image Fill/Choose image
File/Save/Publish

Two problems with iWeb welcome page

After some obvious struggling I was able to create a working welcome page with links to my homepages. I have two questions regarding the page:
1. First, the page does not fit the full screen when seen in Safari. It seats too small in the middle of a white background.
2. Second, more troubling, the page cannot be forwarded to my domain since the address:
///Volumes/frasecco8/Web/Sites/iWeb/Welcome%20page/Welcome.html, is not recognized by the domain.
What can I do about these two problems?
I feel I am very close to having a working website, with links, pictures, etc. but I am no quite there yet.
Thanks for any suggestion, advice.

1) In iWeb, click on the inspector button (the blue cirle with an i) select the page tab. From there you can adjust the height and width of the page, as well as background colors. Keep in mind that screen sizes vary widely; try to choose a size that will work well on both smaller and larger screens.
2) I presume you mean that you are publishing to .mac but have a purchased domain name and want to forward from your purchased domain name to your .mac site? In that case the problem is that you are using the wrong url for forwarding. Try entering http://web.mac.com/frasecco8.
If that doesn't work, then try:
http://web.mac.com/frasecco8/iWeb/Welcome%20page/
I hope this helps.

Adding Background music to welcome page on Iweb.. any ideas? instructions?

looking to add background music to my welcome page on iweb. any easy instructions? thanks daniel malibu

Take a look at my page "source" code for some clues.
Editing published pages is as easy as opening the "raw" html code in TextEdit (preferences set to "plain" text) and applying your edits (copy/paste simple).
But once you edit these pages any changes made by the iWeb application and a new "publish" would remove your hand edited code.
To change what appears in your "Title" would only require you edit that line of code. To add metatags is the same.
The "snippet" part of iWeb 2 is always in the "body" part of the page code. Title and custom icons are part of the "head" tag code. Javascript code could be in even more parts depending on its function.
None of this is for the faint of heart or for those that don't understand the basics of html page code.
Open your published iWeb 2 page with a text editor and edit the "title" tag code to change the displayed "name". To add a custom icon requires you upload a 16X16 image file (the size of the icon in the browser address bar), upload that file to your server and then use that URL in the edited html code for your page. These are part of the "head" tag code.
Hope this helps.

Can't post iWeb to Mac, have 58 welcome pages... Help?

I've had no problems with iWeb and i tried updating my site today. No errors came up during publishing but the site refuses to load. I've also noticed that I have multiple welcome pages (58 at the moment) which I'd like to delete as well.
Are these problems related and how do I delete the excess pages?

It looks as if the .Mac servers are having lots of trouble as of now (they may have crashed) so you may want to put off uploading until the servers have been restored, as this is most likely why your site is not loading.

IWeb welcome page design question

I am working on a web page for my company the company is divided into two sections. My question is this........ is there a way to creat just a welcome page with a link to one side of the company and then a second link to the other. THEN when you click on weither of those links you go to that part of the company and you do not see the other????
Basicly I want to host two web sites on one server but they share the same welcome page.
Please help.
Thanks

Most hosting services will allow you a fairly large number of sub-domains for each standard domain.
For example one of my accounts allows me to have 8 standard and 300 sub- domains.
You would create a Company website as the standard domain and then a sub-domain for each separate part of the company. The sub-domains are linked to the standard domains but are in separate folders on the server.
You can give people the URL for a sub-domain so that they can go straight there without having to visit the standard domain first.
The only time I had to do this I found it easier to build the standard domain and the subs as separate websites in iWeb so that I could load them one at a time and do updates without having to deal with the whole website.
This also makes the initial upload easier as well.
The first time I tried this I screwed it all up in my usual fashion and had to get the hosting service tech support to bail me out! It was a good learning experience.

How do i make a photo slideshow / banner for the welcome page in iWeb

How do i create a photo slideshow or fading slidshow for the welcome page in iweb

There are trillions of slideshows to be found on the internets.
Download the one you like, make it work the way you want and put it on the server.
Display it in the browser to see if it looks the way you want.
Then use the <iframe> html element to display it in a HTML Snippet.

Reconstructed Welcome page will not animate a .gif clipart

Upon having to reconstruct my Welcome page because the weblinks had to be re-entered thanks to a friend informing me they were not engaging, upon rectifying the weblinks, when I published the changes, the animated gif did not appear. After several attempts, I reconstructed the page by getting a fresh page. I was able to successfully copy-paste the contents, retype the side-bar that included web links, pasted in from file, the animated gif. It pasted in but would not animate. I tried many times over with no results. Gifs located on other pages are active. But, this one that is animated on the website were I download it

Yes, it is about the flying dove. I'm not changing the subject, apologies, if you thought I was.
Yes, the dove animates on the previous welcome page which no longer exists as I am in the process of uploading the entire website. I will not know if the animation occurs until I finish the upload.
Right, you are. It is not an iWeb issue if the gif file does not animate when I open the file on the desktop. But, as I typed this sentence, my brain awoke to the idea that I must not open the file, copy, paste it into iWeb. Instead, one must drag the file into iWeb. I just tried that and VOILA! the animated bar is there.
You just prodded me enough to resort to using my brain with your last sentence. I had completely forgotten that gif files are drag files.
Case resolved.
Again, thanks, for taking up your time to move me forward. One gets bogged down, if not weary, when they have problems with their projects.
Cheerio!

The Counter on Welcome page is not showing up. How to find it?

Bottomest line is: My first Welcome page is not showing the Counter. I put a counter on it and nothing shows. I tried disassembling the page by lifting layers, and maybe I did it incorrectly, but I cannot find the errant Counter.
I tried going to the menu and de-selecting the Counter and then selecting it again, but that did not fool iWeb. It did not put a second Counter on my Welcome page because it knows that Lorna already put one there and it does not care that to the average non-Superman eye, it is invisible.
QUESTION:
How do I find that invisible Counter? What must I do, or do better?
— Lorna in Southern California

Is the welcome page the page with the big picture of
a flower overlaying everything, linking into your
site? Your page source does show a counter to be
present at location 34 pixels from top of page and 40
pixels from the left, but you have the picture over
it!
.......... Lorna says ................................................
Yes, that is the welcome page: the pink flower. What page source? How do you see a page source? Anyhow, I went to the Welcome page in iWeb and moved the pink flower picture to the side and out of the window. I see nothing! No Counter and no picture covering a Counter. The only picture I see is my pink flower picture.
It is probably still counting, but you won't be able
to see it. If you remove your picture (or make it
smaller) and republish you will see it.
.......... Lorna says ................................................
But I have moved the pink flower picture away and have cleared the field and see nothing. I did not make the picture smaller; if I can just push it out of the way, why would I need to make it smaller? (I suspect I am missing something here.)

Don't want video on my "Welcome Page"

I thought I dragged a video off the welcome page to my desktop, but it's still there. Hidden. I can't see it when working in iWeb, but it shows on the website.
http://web.mac.com/thejarv/iWeb/THE%20JARV/Welcome.html
See. It's off to the right side and I want it gone, but can't find it on iWeb to get rid of it.
Can you help me?
Thank you,

Hey jarv,
Fun site. I like your irreverent style. Regarding your movie problem....I don't see it when I look at your page here on my end. Did you fix it? Or maybe you just have a local caching problem. If you can still see the wrong movie, then emtpy your Safari cache (Safari menu>Empty Cache) and reload the page. But all I see is the picture of you (I assume) and the audio that plays when I click play.
For future reference, if you want to get something off the page in iWeb, probably better to select it and hit delete rather than drag it to the desktop. Anyhow, good luck to you...

Recent blogs in welcome page

Hello all. Is there a way I can link the most recent blogs to my welcome page? I have seen several sites that have their recent blogs on their home page with links to read more. Is this possible through iWeb or are they modifying the html manually? Thanks.

The other thing that people do is create a faux "Latest Blog Entry" so that it is displayed on there Welcome Page.
Simply create a text box and then Cut'n'Paste from your Blog Entries. No html editing, just good ole fashioned sweat and tears!

Welcome page uploading incorrectly

My "Welcome" page is not loading correctly. In iWeb it all looks correct, but when I publish and look at it online, the "blog" page goes to a different page, and several of the other pages are named incorrectly. What can I do to correct?

Please provide your url so others can see what is going on, including verifying that your problem is not just a local one caused by not clearing your browser cache, etc.

Welcome page navigation bar stopped working

I just made a few changes to my welcome page. Not sure what happened but the navigation bar at the top no longer works. It works on the other pages. At one point I retitled the page to "home" and it seems like that may have screwed things up. Now I can't figure out how to get it to work. Any ideas? It is iWeb 3.0.4

figured out the problem. I made some links on the welcome page to the same pages as the nav bar and made the bar stop working for some reason.

Navbar disappears from welcome page

when I publish to an external server I lose the navbar with the links at the top of the page. So my multi page site become just a one page welcome page.
I'm not a coder and am something of a complete idiot, but if you go to eddysbistro.com you will see the problem: just a welcome page and no navbar links at the top of the page (just a big dot or bullet where it ought to be, although this bullet may be do to iWeb mysteriously adding a list. Anyway, it works fine on my local hard drive, but not when I ftp it to an external server.
Any simple way to get my navbar/links back?

Perhaps that is related to the js rollovers not working?
Yes, it is related. Your hosting company (somehow) messed up the grant poopa file:
http://www.eddysbistro.com/Scripts/iWebSite.js
Script directory is a valid directory, because you can get to this file:
http://www.eddysbistro.com/Scripts/iWebImage.js
but if you try to get to iWebSite.js, you get redirect to:
http://typhon.tybit.com/?name=eddysbistro.com
You need to talk to your hosting company.
