IWeb and fonty goodness

hey everyone
just wondering, if i use a certain font in iweb, does the user have to have that font installed locally for them to view the web page as i do in iweb with that font
the default font seems to be palatino, but i've never seen this installed on a pc
if, hypothetically, i design with palatino and the end user doesn't have that font installed on their system, how will my page display? does it display with the browser's default font instead? or does it download the font or something?
any help appreciated, D

ah, i see. thanks
i guess a font in a sans-serif family will show as a generic sans-serif font if the font is not available on the user's system, etc
for example, all monospace fonts would be written in the code as +font-family: actual font, courier, monospace+ or something similar
the rotate = convert to image explains why when i rotate a text box containing a hyperlink, the hyperlink seems to loose its css (link, hover, active, visited) states - pity they don't make the resulting image a rollover to preserve the css effects, or at least fake them to the user
cheers, D

  • Free iWeb Templates and other goodies?

    Hey, it's me again!
    I was looking for FREE iWeb templates but I haven't been able to any find free ones or great ones.
    Do you know where to get them?
    I was also looking for other free goodies that are on iweb, such as little doodles and pieces of paper. You know what I mean?
    Do you know where to get them?
    You're always appreciated :)

    Always nice to hear from you.
    As you, I did an extensive search (3 months ago) on Google and Ask, only to find out that there is a poor choice of great / free templates for iWeb '08.
    There are 1 or 2 "user understandable" manuals on how to make your own templates, but I found it less time consuming to choose the "blank" template from a theme, adapt it myself with the tools provided in iWeb and then copy this "custom adapted" template.
    I know this is not the answer you are looking for but it is the best I can provide.
    Hopefully, someone else has found the gold somewhere...
    Kind regards,

  • 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.

  • IWeb and Internet Explorer

    Hi all,
    I am a technician at a college, and we're using iWeb to publish websites for the students' coursework. Upon checking the health of the published pages, it is apparent that many of the students' work is not appearing in Internet Explorer correctly. Several of the images and text boxes are not appearing in the correct place and are overlapping.
    So far browsing the forums a common answer appears to be 'Don't use Internet Explorer', however given that it is the world's most widely used web browser, and that we have no control over what browser the coursework moderators will be using when sample work is sent away, we are looking for a proper solution to this problem.
    We are using intel-based macs with the latest version of iWeb and OSX.
    Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Make sure you're using Web Safe Fonts and that text boxes are not overlapping or touching other text boxes or objects. Roddy's iWeb for Musicians has some good tips: How to get your iWeb Site to load in Internet Explorer. There may be some there that can help you.
    The suggestion about suggestion and offering Firefox is a very good one. You'll help bring many of the students into the 21st century.

  • Do I need to buy a web hosting package to publish with iweb, and how do I configure Filezilla?

    Hi,
    I've created a website using iweb and have bought a domain name from 123reg and downloaded Filezilla as the FTP server. How do I configure Filezilla to my server and do i need to buy a web hosting package?
    Thanks!

    To use FileZilla, or iWeb's built-in FTP, you need a webhosting package.
    Which one? Start with your own ISP. Otherwise its like answering what's a good grocery store.
    The webhoster will provide the details of what to enter in the various fields.
    Perhaps 123Reg offers what you want? They do actually.
    You must have seen it when you visited their pages.

  • IWeb and code

    I'm super new to iWeb and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good iWeb resource to get the basics. Also, am I bound by the templates in iWeb? Can you plug in different template codes written by other people for use in iWeb? I want to set up a cool page with an online store and paypal links on a site I already have going with Dreamhost hosting my content. I had a pro set up the site and I can update by editing, copying and pasting the .php files but I'd like to have a link to a separate online store page. Since I don't know how to set this up from scratch in the same format as my site I thought I could use iWeb somehow and post a link on my site that directs people to an iWeb generated page.
    I'm not sure if I'm making sense so any clarity would help.
    thanks!

  • IWeb and non-iWeb files @ same site?

    I have modified my CNAME at my personal domain site to forward to MobileMe, and I am not having any problems with that aspect. What I am wondering is ... can I have both iWeb files and non-iWeb files at the same site and still use MobileMe?
    Basically, I want to use iWeb for my main family web site, but still have my Wordpress blog as well as some older web pages that I don't want to convert to iWeb. Right now, anything that starts with my domain name is pointed to MobileMe, which precludes access to the non-iWeb files.
    Not sure if this is clear or not, but if anyone has any pointers, I would be very grateful.

    Thanks for the advice about putting the other files on MobileMe - I didn't know you could host non-iWeb pages there.
    Unfortunately, I actually don't want to store them there. My Wordpress blog is hosted on my own server (it's not a wordpress.com blog), and my old files are large and I don't want to burn up all the space on MobileMe. I have a ton of space and other good hosting services as my provider (doteasy). I do, however, like the features of iWeb for my main family page, so I want to be able to publish to MobileMe, but still have the domain function as well, with some pages accessible only through the domain, not MobileMe.

  • 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

  • Iweb and how it converts to a pc

    We have our business website in the latest ilife, Iweb and all looks good on our macbook but on other pc computers - the margins are all messed up. Photos are in the wrong place as well as logos. What can we do to make it look better on a pc. This is important for our business. Thanks for your help. Rachel [email protected]

    I am a mac user so I think apple needs to patch iweb so that it writes the proper code so that all browsers can use it.
    You can tell them that here:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html
    While you wait for them to adopt your point of view, if you can't change anything and your site doesn't work the way you need it to, then best try another app. There are lots of them. Here is one list:

  • Iweb and homepage

    Hello,
    Trying out iweb and finding it obviously a thousand miles better than the old way : Homepage...
    However, I have been using Homepage for several years and all my family/friends are starting to remember that url which was already not the simplest of all: http://homepage.mac.com/$appleid. Quite OK though... With iweb, It seems that they will have to get used to another url which is even worse...Any idea on how to make this transition easier and friendly.
    - I don't like much the idea of redirecting the users through a message "Please visit us at our new url...."
    - I have seen that some users have just bought a domain and redirect automatically to the right site...That's nice but costly, no ?
    Any idea would be welcome.
    Thank you.

    Hi
    I am one of the many who have bought a domain, as above $8 a year, but from ez-domainnameregistration.com (buying the domain for 5 years reduced it to $8 a year).
    It is very easy to do, just sign up with a provider and set your domain to automatically forward to your iWeb address.
    Godaddy gets a lot of good press on this board as well.
    Good luck

  • Domain forwarding to iWeb and Search word problems...

    Hello out there. I have chosen to set up my company's website with iWeb. But because the url is not easy for marketing, I purchased my domain name and had that automatically forwarded to my cover page for my iWeb webpage.
    example: my domain is www.SiegfriedsCall.com
    this is what I advertise to my customers.
    when you go to www.SiegfriedsCall.com , it is forwarded to my iWeb website http://web.mac.com/SiegfriedsCall/iWeb/SiegfriedsCall/Cover.html
    This works fine, and for the most part I am happy, despite the strange changes internet explorer does to my published site. (another topic of discussion)
    Question: As this is for my company, marketing the website is important. How can I verify the website in order to enter the website into the Google search engine???
    Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.
    Scott

    google will eventually crawl your site anyway, and a good start is putting up links to your site. You can always post your url in this forum and also encourage others to link to your site from theirs. You will also want to consider using better titles for your pages as well as meta data and keywords. Google will use this information to index your site and make it searchable. On another note I play jazz trumpet and I really like how your site looks, well done! I don't have any sponsers yet either Kidding. Good luck

  • The difference between system restore and last good known configuration

    hi,
    what is the difference between system restore  and last good known configuration.
    in which situation you use system restore ,and in which situation you use last good known configuration.
    very short answer wil be enough.
    thanks
    johan
    h.david

    Last Known Good Configuration deals only with Starting Windows eg. a bad registry or incorrect driver is preventing Windows to start.It recovers the registry settings of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet
    While System Restore uses restore points to return your system files and settings to an earlier point in time without affecting personal files. Restore points are created automatically every week, and just before significant system events, such as the installation
    of a program or device driver. You can also create a restore point manually.You can undone system restore but there is no such option in Last Known Good Configuration.
    Last Known Good Configuration is disabled in Windows 8 or,Windows 8.1 by default.
    Try using Last Known Good Configuration if you can't start Windows, but it started correctly the last time you turned on the computer.
    Try using System Restore to return the system to an earlier point in time when things worked correctly.

  • I updated my iphone and when it came time for activation it won't work and keeps telling me to try again. At the top it says "No Service" and I have my SIM card in and a good WiFi connection and have connected it through iTunes but it says I have no SIM

    I updated my iphone and when it came time for activation it won't work and keeps telling me to try again. At the top it says "No Service" and I have my SIM card in and a good WiFi connection and have connected it through iTunes but it says I have no SIM card and need to disconnect and insert my SIM. I don't understand why this keeps happening and it's been going on for a wile now. I have tried over and over again to get this iPhone to work but nothig is happening. I've even gone on the website for support (apple.com/support) but cannot find anything that will help me with this situation. Can someone please help me find a solution to this problem? I have been without a phone and do not have money to buy another one and it is crucial for me to get it fixed. Thanks.

    What computer operating system is involved in the Premiere Elements 11 and 13 issues? Same computer or different ones? Are you installing from purchased download installation files or from purchased installation disc? Does Premiere Elements 11 work completely on this computer whereas 13 will not?
    Let us go through the typical drill so as to take nothing for granted.
    1. Does the problem exist with or without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? Are you working with an individual home computer or in a
    school or company network?
    2. Are you running the program as Administrator and is there any "domain" account involved?
    3. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on the computer with Premiere Elements?
    Let us start by ruling in or out any of the above, and then we can decide what next.
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.
