IWeb and Blogger

I have been checking around on here to see if anyone has discussed using iWeb and a previously started Blogger page. Seems folks are touching on it but not quite discussing it fully. I even googled it and came up with nothing. Guess it's still too new?
Is it possible to post a blog made in iWeb to a Blogger page?
Is it possible to do it without having to host it on .Mac and then bounce the link?
Seems like there has to be a way but I am just not clever enough at this yet. Thanks in advance for any advice!

I asked the same question and got a couple of responses but there really hasn't been much discussion on this. I did try to drop in some of the html code into a blogger site when you go into the template area. I know nothing about HTML but what did occur was the general image of the iweb theme did appear on top of my old blogger site but not all of the photos came along for the ride. I'll go on a limb with this and hope I'm not way off but until someone who knows what they are talking about can verify this, I would take this with a teeny, tiny grain of salt:
You could probably integrate the theme of a iweb site into blogger but to get the blogger functionality into the site, that may take a bit of HTML programming skills - such as implementing comments, photos, and how new blog entries would be insterted. As I posted elsewhere, I'm a little less concerned than most about comments as should i make a site, it would be mostly a travel blog with photos, videos and perhaps some ramblings on places I've been but my biggest concern is .mac - it seems absurdly slow and I'm really not sure if I uplaod more than 3 or 4 travel videos that i'll have much storage space left - 1GB these days seems like a lot but it really isn't.

IWeb and Blogger (or any other blogging site)

Novice potential blogger here and NO HTML knowledge...
Can you build a blog with iWeb and host it on Blogger without having a .mac account? Thanks.
Steve

Well, the way Blogger works is that it allows you to set up the template for your site in HTML. You have to embed your CSS styles in the HTML template, and you have to use the required Blogger content inserts in order for it to work correctly. That might be a little difficult with iWeb, considering that it's not set up for use with Blogger. You can manually edit your HTML files to get them to work, but if you don't know anything about HTML and site design, it'll be hard.
Hope this helps. Best of luck to you!

Iweb and blogger help

I have set up a blogger account to publish under my news section of my website. I created a template in iweb, the copied and pasted the html with some modification into the template editor in blogger. That works fine and can be seen at http://www.markmcleod.org/Mark_Mcleod/News.html However if you click an archive the template at the top is lost and the links are a little screwey. I think I have the file structure wrong. I have the images stored for the template in a folder called new_files and have the image source pointing to that folder. Anyone know how to fix this? I am doing it this way instead of with iweb so I can blog anywhere.

IWeb and MobileMe

Finally decided to call Apple last night, I mean thats what AppleCare is for right? Anyways after being passed up the line, I was finally told that the problems would be fixed sometime today. The quote was that the techs would need another 24-36 hours to finish the migration from .mac to mobileme. We'll see, I'm not holding my breath....

I am so furious with apple right now, I would leap at the opportunity to go back to my good old toshiba pc. And you know what? I wouldn't be near as upset if the mac folks were talking. I mean, just say something on your home page apple, say something for gods sake. Saying nothing is just making everyone so angry at you. Even the apple store employees don't have a clue. If you would just let us know you are working on it and tell us what we are seeing is your problem and not ours we would wait more patiently i think. But you have thumbed your nose at your bread and butter and all I can say is I hope you go bankrupt, the sooner the better. Yea, i would miss my mac book, but I would feel so good that you got what you deserved.
People, drop iweb at the very least, and vote with your pocketbooks. Buy nothing at an apple store that you can find elsewhere in a store or on line. and for those who are willing, follow me back to a PC and Blogger. There is nothing more rude than being ignored and you, my friends, are being ignored.
And I wouldn't feel this way if i could go to the apple homepage and find SOMETHING from mac about the problems we are all dealing with and wondering about and for some, losing business money by the second.
Kissing you good bye, you deserve to go under for not talking apple

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 bought a copy of Apple iLife 11 on dvd a so that I can install iWeb and idvd, when I click on install iLife I get a message saying "iLife.kpg was signed with an invalid certificate

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.

IWeb and multiple users

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?

You haven't a problem. You simply did not read the iWeb Help :

TS2167 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.

In IOS7 none of my YouTube movies show up on my site build with iWeb and its YouTube widget. On an iPad running IOS6 the site still works fine, and all movies play well. What is going on,and what can I do to solve this problem ???

It's only Safari/iOS7. Chrome iOS7 works fine.
Solution?
Go to YT and grab the code.
Paste it in a HTML Snippet.

HT4686 How can I publish my website developed using iWeb and have all functions of the blog page work as it did with MobileMe?

I have developed a website using iWeb and it includes a blog page selected from stock pages in iWeb. I'm publishing it with GoDaddy and when I do that the interactive functions of the blog page don't work. (Adding comments and photos as well as searching). Is there any simple way to host this site somewhere so that those functions work?

No, because all those functions were MobileMe only and now that MobileMe has gone, they won't function any longer.
To enable these to function, you either need to add them yourself or change your blogging platform to something else such as WordPress etc., and create a link from iWeb to your WordPress blog or embed the blog page using iframe into your iWeb site.
Commenting systems such as Disqus or http://www.intensedebate.com work quite well.

My new computer does not have iWeb and I can't open the files from the old computer. What can I do???

I'm really desperate. I used to publish to a blog directly from iWeb, then I discontinued it. When I made the switch to iCloud, I wasn't worried because I knew my files would always be there. However, once I got a new computer, I transferred all the old files to an external hard drive and I thought everything would work just fine. Well, it didn't Neither can I open iWeb nor can I find my files.
Can anyone help me please?

New Macs have not shipped with iWeb for over 2 years and Apple has not sold or supported iWeb for at least 2 years now - Apple stopped selling it and dropped support for it when MobileMe was ditched in favour of iCloud which does not offer hosting.
If you want iWeb, then you will need to have a look at your old installation CD's for your old Mac and see if iWeb is on these and you can then install it from there or if you don't have these CD's any longer, then you'll have no option but to purchase a copy of either iLife 09 or iLife 11 from Amazon - these boxed sets both contain iWeb 09, which is the latest version of iWeb.
Other than this and as you have not done your blog for sometime, perhaps you should consider re-creating it from scratch with a software that is actively supported and updated - that is NOT iWeb any longer.
You could try using WordPress, either .com or .org - .org is good if you already have hosting and you can install WordPress directly onto your server. If you want something free, then you could use WordPress.com which is then published on the WordPress servers.
You could also take a look at EverWeb from Rage Software, which is very new and is very like iWeb with all the extras, such as drop down menus etc. Take a look at http://www.everwebapp.com.
As for your files, it sounds that when you say files, these might be the published files for your site, if you went into iWeb and published them to a local folder? This is not a backup and even if you could find these files, then iWeb will not be able to open them because it has no import facility, so cannot open an already published site - html and css files.
What you need is your domain.sites files which can be found under your User Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
I would cut your losses and if you don't have iWeb, then don't bother paying for software that is now outdated and unsupported - move onto to something new and re-create everything in either WordPress or EverWeb.

Problems with iWeb and mobile me

Ciao everyone,
I've been having a ridiculous amount of problems with my mobile me account and my iweb. 2 weeks ago I was fine with my iweb and mobile me but all of a sudden my iweb would say it publish but it really doesn't publish. The I went to the mac store a couple of times and thought I would get answers but I didnt get any answer even though I had a couple of one to one visits with a couple of stores in NYC. So when i publish it it shows that it published in my www.me.com/idisk/iweb folder but then it doesn't show in my website. Then one guy told me that I should just recreate a new site but copy and past all the old information to the new one. Now it won't publish at all because I guess its a lot of information to publish at once. I get an error message saying error iweb was not able to publish please try again later. Any help?

Hey you guys,
Thanks for the help, but I did try to publish all to my iweb and it didn't work. I do try to view my published website through the file/visit published site and for some reason only my intro page is there then when i go into the main page i get an error page. I also did go to my finder/Go/idisk/myidisk/iweb/site/iweb and saw my websites folder. Everything seems to be in it. I tried to take a screen shot of what is in my folder but I can't post pictures. In my folder I have a folder for gallery, index.html, site, shites.rss, and my website folder usvisualswebsite
Any other suggestions? This is really frustrating. I also created another test site with nothing in it and published it and it says it finishes publishing but the blank test page isn't there.
