IWeb blog and YouTube

I added a youtube video in my blog entry placeholder and it works. But under my blog summary page (the only page i use for my blog) it only shows an image of the video, and you have to click on it to enter the entry and view the video.
Is there a way to be able to view and play the YouTube video in your blog summary page without having to enter the post to view it?

You would have to publish locally, edit the files to embed a video in place of the image, and then upload using OS X's built in FTP functionality.
I don't know the code to resize a youtube video but it's probably something like this:
<object width="365" height="174"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/siSHJfPWxs8&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/siSHJfPWxs8&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="365" height="174"></embed></object>

IWeb, Blogging and Comments when using a different Host

Hi
I have an iWeb site, using Google Domain name, and hosting services of Network Solutions. I want to add a Blog to my site but allow for comments. Currently, iWeb is telling me that comments are added only if I use my MobileMe account. Is there a way to have a blog in iWeb, publish through my current host and have a comment feature that will update properly without kinks? I am considering using Blogger (Google) but unsure of what to do. Any suggestions or realities are accepted! Thanks

Just use Blogger or WordPress to create your blog and then you can place a link on your website to your blog. Either that or you can display your blog directly in your site by using iframe code.
Your other alternative is to use the iWeb blog and use something like http://www.intensedebate.com as a comment feature. You could include it on the same page as the blog or put it on a different page.
Personally, I don't like the iWeb blog, so I use WordPress for my blog and just keep a link to it from my site so that it goes straight to the blog and then opens in a new page.

Published iWeb Blog and Snow Leopard

Published iWeb with iLife 08 to Mobile Me. Want to continue publishing to this site, but can't get Snow Leopard to connect to the iWeb published page. Don't think I should have to start over to add more content.

Snow Leopard is an operating system and isn't used to connect to web pages. What did you do and what do you want to do?
Did you install Snow Leopard and lose your ability to use iWeb to edit your site? If so you need to get a copy of the Domain.sites file that iWeb 08 used to create the site in order for you to be able to continue editing. It's located in your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder.
If you don't have that file then you'll have to rebuild the site from scratch. If that's the case Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing image, audio and/or video files in the published site in the reconstruction of the site.
If you don't have a backup maybe it's time to consider and begin a backup strategy.

IWeb's blogs and Apple's weblog server

Has anyone looked at the use of iWeb/blogs and Apple's web log server app on the server side? The more I use iWeb for a personal project on my .mac acct, I think about using it in commbination with our Apple Xserve/ OS X Server at work. But the two (iWeb and OS X Server weblog server) seem like conflicting applications? Comments?

acct, I think about using it in commbination with our
Apple Xserve/ OS X Server at work.
You should be able to use iWeb blogs on your own server, but you won't be able to have comments and attachments, those functions are disable when you publish to a folder.
Comments and attachments use some special webojbect+ js, append the following to your summary or .Mac blog page and you'll see what I mean.
blog_page.html?wsc=enrty.js
blog_summary.html?wsc=summary.js

Using Facebook Comments for iWeb Blog (non mobile me domain)

Upon moving from a mobileme hosted iWeb created blog to a personal domain, I obviously lost ability to use iWeb commenting. That in-of-itself was frustrating, so I've been scouting out new possibilities. Some have recommended IntenseDebate and others, but I'm curious if anyone has had luck using Facebook Comments? http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/comments
I've been able to use the Facebook Like HTML as a Widget not a problem, but haven't been able to get Comments to work.
www.kellerowski.com
Thanks in advance!

That is because it is a plugin and plugins won't work with iWeb as far as I am aware.
I would try http://www.intensedebate.com. It is very easy to set up and it works and you will be notified by e-mail every time somebody posts a comment. I use IntenseDebate on my own site and it works very well for me.
Your other alternative of course is to ditch the iWeb blog and create a blog link to a blog created in WordPress - you can use http://www.wordpress.org too if you uploading to another host, so you will then have www.domain.com/Blog.

Iweb-blog its so so so slow!!!

when browsing my blog, a lot of people are complaining that they give up because it takes so long to upload, what can i do?
i use mobileme and i am i tech-not!!
please i want my site to be fast!

The best way is to forget about the iWeb blog and use something like Blogger!
Use several small blogs instead of one big one.
Reduce any image or audio files as much as possible.
Optimizing your files before uploading will increase speed noticeably.
If you use Blogger you can switch to another server rather than MobileMe and get faster download speeds.

IWeb 09 and Blogs, Podcasting.....do they work on a Real Domain?

I do not publish to Mobile Me, although I have an account. I have a real Domain that I use. It used to be that certain iWeb functions would NOT work unless you published them to Mobile Me. Is this still the case? Will the Blogs and Podcasting work if published to a real Domain? Thanks.

Its just the same old same old. No blog comments etc.

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)
http://iwebunlimited.com/iweb-tips/tip-2-iframes-in-iweb-websites-within-website s/
What do you think?

Can I download an iWeb site so that I can change the html? I need to add a better blog and also some SEO.

Can I download an iWeb site so that I can change the html? I need to add a better blog and also some SEO.

Where is your site hosted? If it's hosted on MobileMe you can use SEO to edit the site online. No need to get it locally.
If the site is hosted with a 3rd party fpt client then publish your site to a folder on your hard drive, use SEO on it there and then upload the site to your server with a 3rd party ftp client.
What do you mean "add a better blog"?

Why is iWeb posting both my blog and the individual entries

My problem is the the items I want to delete have somehow been uploaded as individual pages AND as part of our blog "At Home in Milwaukee."
Example:
in iWeb I have
At Home in Milwaukee
Entries
Archive
On .Mac, after I publish I get
At Home in Milwaukee
Once an Eagle
Sandra’s Trudy Blu...
Sandra’s Trudy Blu...
The bottom three items are the last three entries in the blog.
Since these pages are all part of the blog; if I delete them in iWeb, they will be deleted from the blog. Every time I add a new entry to the blog, it uploads as part of the blog AND as a separate page. I have no idea why it is doing this or whether it is occuring in .Mac or iWeb. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks, Sandra

i tried to search for other posts but came up with nothing.
That's odd, this question gets answered several times a day.
iWeb always creates this structure, that's how it has worked for over 3 years now. You seem to have chosen to make your sitename, blog, and pagename all identical to you personal domain name. I think that is not a great idea. At least your sitename and pagenames are still under your control. Change them to "jh" and "blog" or whatever you want to avoid some of the ugly duplication.
If you don't want to see your sitename in the browser address bar, you can manually remove that folder, but any RSS Subscribe links will not work then.
The url of your site that you give to people is of course just www.myname.com.

Blogs and iweb

Hi, I have just designed a web site with iWeb along with a Blog.
How Do I post to the blog when I'm out on my travels with my iPad?
I have just seen the wordpress application and it seems a perfect solution IF I had a wordpress blog. But surely apple owning iWeb and creating the iPad have a similar solution?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Martin.

How Do I post to the blog when I'm out on my travels with my iPad?
You can't. That's one of the limitations of an iWeb blog. IMO you would be better served creating your blog on one of the well established blogging sites like Posterius, Wordpress, Blogger.com, Joomla.com, etc. These will let you manage your blog from any computer or mobile device that has access to the internet.
You can embed your 3rd party blog into a web page in your site like in this demo page: Embed a Site Within an iWeb Page.
Otherwise, you will need to have a Mac computer and the domain.sites2 file that you use to create and maintain your web site with iWeb.

Why does my computer create web connections to addresses in the Amazon, Google and Youtube range when I start Firefox?

I think I already disabled all the updating functions, yet, SOMETIMES when I start Firefox, (with about:blank), my network monitor shows one to five connections to IP addresses mostly in the 74.125.225.x, 74.125.227.x, 74.125.228.x, and 72.21.x.x ranges. Those ranges include Google, Amazon, and Youtube.
I use Kaspersky, and have scanned multiple times for malware, and even had their technical support look into my computer. They see no malware. It is the Kaspersky Network Monitor that revealed the problem.
As I find them happening, I try to jot down the addresses, (quickly, because some of these connections only last a second or two), then add those to a firewall rule I created to try to combat the problem. Yet, next time I start, new addresses are "attacking". Of course, some get away, because I don't get the address jotted down before it goes away. At one point I used masking that ended up keeping me from Google and Youtube, so I have to add the addresses individually, and my block list in that one rule is 13 items long now. The only IPs not in those ranges are 23.5.251.27, and 173.194.46.5. Not sure where those go.
I used to get attacked by addresses in the range that includes Amazon ... 72.21.x.x. I have a separate firewall rule for them that has 33 addresses being blocked.
I should not have to do all that. Firefox should start and just sit there quietly until I start clicking or typing in it. This has been happening in Firefox versions going back to 11. May have gone on before that, but I wasn't tracking it then.
Also, it doesn't always happen, or, more precisely, with addresses I have not already blocked, (because my only way to know it's happening is when the connections are allowed to be made). It does not always happen right after Firefox is up, but sometimes several minutes later. I have started Firefox and just sat and watched the network monitor without doing anything in Firefox, and have seen this happen up to 15 minutes after I start Firefox ... mostly just two or three minutes when there's a delay at all.

Firefox does not do anything but sit on about:blank after I start it as long as I have a firewall rule enabled that completely blocks these subnets:
74.125.222.0/24
74.125.227.0/24
74.125.228.0/24
173.194.46.0/24
173.194.115.0/24
173.194.121.0/24
64.233.171.0/24
54.230.90.0/24
54.230.88.0/24
72.21.194.0/24
72.21.195.0/24
72.21.215.0/24
207.171.163.0/24
Otherwise, Fire fox creates connections to one to five addresses in those ranges. Note that there are more than 5 subnets above, but usually three connections satisfies whatever purpose these connections are being made for. If I had some links or whatever that is causing these connections, I would expect all of them would come up every time.
Also, these connections do not start immediately upon starting Firefox, they wait up to 15 minutes to start ... fifteen minutes of just sitting idle ... no actions on my part that could possibly initiate them. Usually these start within three minutes. A typical ploy of malware is to wait until no one is looking, or the until there's a forest to put their tree in so it won't be noticed.
While the above rules are in place, I do not have access to Amazon, Youtube, or Google, (or any of the various blog sites and services sponsored by Google, including Google Maps and Gmail). That list may not be complete, as I have other firewall rules in place that mainly block individual addresses.
It seems to me as simple as; figure out who owns those subnets, and you have your bad guys. Then go after them.
It's true that I have a bookmarks to Google, Gmail, and Youtube, but these are not "active" bookmarks nor RSS feeds. I have not voluntarily gone to Amazon on this computer.
The traffic being transmitted is unknown. It is usually not extremely large amounts of data ... less than a meg, but I have seen close to a Gig transmitted out of my computer, and over 400 meg transmitted to my computer, when I was not paying attention to block the offender. Even if it's small amounts, things like cookies, path structures, configuration settings, histories, etc. do not involve a lot of data, but, to me, represent a security breach, if someone decides to look at them unsolicited by me, not unlike your landlord, mortgage holder, or neighborhood police officer walking into your home while you're not there, and taking pictures of, or simply inventorying your belongings.
It is VERY much like some sort of backdoor malware. No malware is detected on my computer.
I looked at the suggestion above for OS changes for logging HTTP activity, but the author neglected to include instructions for backing out these changes after using them. If this were to create more jewels in a drawer the thief has access to, reformatting and restoring my drive is not the kind of back out process I enjoy. Therefore it would be foolish to apply them. To me it would be like bungee diving with no bungee. Fun until you hit the bottom. Give me the bungee, let me make sure it's short enough, then I'll dive.

How can I update my iWeb blog from multiple computers/iPhone/iPad?

I want to be able to update my iWeb website and blog when I am not at home.
I tried making a copy of the iWeb folder from the Library folder. This did not work.
How I wished it would work......
iWeb should work like Aperture, and iPhoto. I mean when I am at a friends computer I can open Aperture with my files and not theirs by choosing the Library file initializing the software. Why can't iWeb be configured to do this?
Is there a way to update iWeb created websites when away from my home computer?

...is a free, cross-platform, remote desktop system that you can use to access your Mac from almost any system. You could log in to LogMeIn, open iWeb and edit & publish your site remotely via your home system. Note that LogMeIn is downloaded only to the Mac you want to remotely control — your office computer needs nothing new. See HERE.
...for iPhone and iPod touch provides instant one-click access to your LogMeIn computers, directly from your Apple device. Make your iPhone or iPod touch an extension of your work or home computer:
• Use a program that's on your office computer
• View a photo on your home desktop
• Help a friend troubleshoot his or her computer
• All from the palm of your hand, from wherever you are.

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.

Deleting Archive page of iWeb blog

Can the Archive page from a blog be deleted?
I have searched and found others are having the same publish error that I am and the only common thread is that the archive page is creating the publish error on there blog and mine:
"Can't Create the File Shapeimage1_Link0.png. The disk may be damaged, full or you may not have sufficient access privileges"
This error happens on the archive page, which I cannot conrtol anyhting on.
It seems to happen once there are 350+ entries on my blog and on others. Is iWeb known to have such a limit to entires? I don't remember reading that when I bought or started using iWeb.
I have followed this advice posted here before:
UNKNOWN PUBLISHING ERROR OCCURS
CAN’T CREATE THE FILE “SHAPEIMAGE1_LINK0.PNG.” THE DISK MAY BE DAMAGED, FULL, OR YOU MAY NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT ACCESS PRIVILEGES
"Many times these error messages will point to a specific page or even a specific file. If not, you may also be able to determine the source of the problem by noticing which page caused publishing to stop, while publishing was in progress. Fixing the problem may be as simple as deleting the specified file or page from the site. Make a copy of your Domain file, place it into an empty folder, and place this folder into your Documents folder. Now, open iWeb and delete the particular page the error message points to and try to publish again; first to a folder, and if that is successful, then to .Mac. If this works, go back to the copied Domain file, open the site from this Domain by double-clicking on the Domain file, and see if you can identify the specific file on the page that is giving problems. Make sure that no illegal characters, such as forward slashes or colons, are used in file names."
However, since my error happens on the archive page, that I cannot control, this isn't even a hope at a solution.
Either way, I can easily live without the archive as the blog can be searched and the archive takes forever to load and wastes space.
Going back and deleting old posts is not an option as I feel it defeats the purpose of having a blog at all.
I hate to stop blogging and using iWeb, but until it is solved, I cannot create new posts.
Can the archive be deleted or otherwise removed from my blog?

jabberwock (Alice)
Ack! Now I'm really confused.... it's funny actually.... jabberwock is kind of a genderless name, right? It's fine with me, I just as soon imagined a male jabberwock. Then Lorna kept referring to a Phyllis in her emails and I asked "Who?" and then she told me, "You know....Phyllis as in Jabberwock!". But I guess it's actually Alice and not Phyllis, unless there are two of you! Haha. I actually did ask myself "Phyllis as in abenningfield? Where's the "A" come from?" It all makes sense now.
Yesterday I got posts and it was covered by the
image....well I learned that the image has to stay
within the text square.
I think the biggest problem with the Apple comments system is that you do have to "think" about where the comments will show up (if you get any!). I really do like to think of my blog entries as individual web pages. I tend to put photos all over and different text boxes everywhere and generally move things all around. I guess the Apple comments would really mess things for me because it would probably want to put the comments behind a lot of my photos and content just like you experienced.
icomment/haloscan is a lot better because you can specify exactly where to put the "Add comments" link...and of course the comments open in a popup window.
