Iweb blog archive photos?

My picture thumbnails aren't showing up in the blog archives. I thought the pictures were showing up before. What happened? I don't see an option for turning them on and off in the archives only on the mail blog page. Help?

Thanks for that explanation. I was having the same problem and that fixed it. However, if you want this to work, you cannot have text wrap around the photo on the entry page. To have text wrap you have to cut and paste the photo into the text block. This appears to "erase" the attributes of "placeholder" from the image and it is therefore not recognized as such on the summary page. A nice fix would be for the designer to have the ability of inserting a placeholder into the text block. I don't see that option anywhere.

Transfer old 1.0 iweb blog archive into a new template

I want to change templates for my iweb blog. Is there a way to copy my old blog archive into the new site. I'd hate to loose all the old content.
Thanks
imac Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Unfortunately, as of this moment with iWeb 1.1.1 there is no way to change themes/templates for pages that are already published. You will have to recreate your blog in order to use a new template. Alternatively, I guess you could just start a new blog with the new template.

IWeb blog, photo albums requires us to enter the site name on every entry?

Every iWeb blog entry gets a heading of something like "My Site" or "Tom's Photography." This means we have to retype the name of our site +in addition to+ the actual title of every blog post.
Does this not seem annoyingly tedious to anyone else? Did the iWeb team really screw this up, or am I missing a setting somewhere? This also happens on photo album pages; the page for every new album dragged in from iPhoto or Aperture gets a generic title of "Tom's Photography" or something. Pretty annoying. Can anyone helps?

that's cool and everything, but someday when I have hundreds of posts and I want to change the title on the top, I will have to manually change each one. For some reason I think Apple would have thought of this. It seems like a no-brainer...?
Still need someone to help out on this.

Can photo albums be viewed on iWeb blog if you don't have 08?

Recently tried to create a blog with a couple of my photo albums on it. Unfortunately I am having some trouble doing it. I hope don't need the new iLife to do that task. I tried to click and drag he photo album from I photo onto the iWeb blog page...to no avail.

bitslap47, thanks for your input as well.
Unfortuneately, I'm a real newbie, and though I have Outlook 2002 I never used it for my contacts, so I have to input them somewhere, so I 'think' the easiest way for me is to input them directly into the Outlook Express and save me the 'possible' pain of transferring.
But THANK YOU for the information which I will save for future use.
Thanks again:)!

Blog Archive in iWeb

Dear All,
I am putting up my first site in iWeb and I am having trouble with the Blog Archive. It automatically places the Blog archive as a page underneath the Blog parent, and will not allow me to drag it out into the main tree structure of the site. This means that I am unable to put the Blog Archive into the site navigation. Does anyone know how to get the Blog Archive into the site navigation, or is the only way to link to it to provide a manual link from any page that you feel it should be available from?
Thanks, Jules

Different methods:
Method 1. make a blank page of the white or black template , name it "Archive", drag and drop a fragment html, insert this code :
<script type="text/javascript">
parent.location.replace('http://urlof_your_blog_archivepage.html');
</script>
In this code replace http://urlof_your_blog_archivepage.html
Now, the item "Archive" is in the menu, and your blank page redirects to your Blog Archive page,
or
Method 2. Don't display the navigation menu, do your own menu with links (inspector > link > hyperlink > link to my page ) with a link to your archive page (it is what I do on my [website|http://iweb.debutersurmac.com] ).

IWeb 09 Crashing at Blog Archive creation

I have a blog with several hundred entries, and iWeb 09 has not been able to publish it, crashing every time during the creation of the blogs Archive page. This happens when trying to publish to MobileMe, or to a folder.
Anyone else seeing this?

This is not an iWeb 09 issue... I just tried installing the OS and iLife 08 on an external drive.. and publishing the ENTIRE site with iLife 08.. and it fails too. I watched the system run out of memory, prior to crashing. My 1.5 GB site needs more than 4GB of RAM to publish.

Getting photos to show properly in your iWeb Blog Summary?

Hi,
I'm trying to create an iWeb photo blog, but am having some problems. This is what I have so far: www.nigelivy.com
Basically my plan is to use the "blog home" as my site's actual home and to upload a daily photo. There are two problems that I have faced:
1. I can't get my photos which I add to each entry to show on the home page in the "Blog Summary".
2. When I did get the photos to show up, they were blurred. Is there a way of fixing this?
Any help would be appreciated! If anyone can recommend a iWeb blog template for this sort of site, please let me know...
Many thanks,
Nigel

When you use the image placeholder in a blogpage, the image is displayed in the summary.
When you delete that placeholder and simply drop an image on the page, that image won't be displayed.
Tiny details that make iWeb so interesting to use for some and confusing for others.

Blog archives missing text but photos still show. Mac genius's stumped...

Why would my text disappear from my older blog archives while my photos still show up?
The text is still there, because if you bring up the html and view it in source mode you can see it...
but just not on the blog page... like if you used white font on a white background. Any ideas?
Even the genius's at the apple store couldn't figure this one out.
thanks, mark.
http://www.artfulrvadventures.com go to archives before may of this year...

thank you cyclosaurs... I've been AWOL lately and am tardy with this response. *I should be able to just republish from my backup files, right?*
Mark,
Not just yet.
What you should do is to publish your site to a folder in your local machine, then look for these xml files.
If these xml files are published and exist in you local machine then you can force apple to correct the problem - otherwise, you may/will face the same problem in the future, when they screw up again.
I will try to repost if I learn anything from the MME techs
Jessica,
I'm sorry to hear about your situation, but I would leave your blog as it is for now... *it's a long shot, perhaps* apple can recover those xml files.

IWeb Blog Photo

Using the 'White' template for a Blog, the photo for new entries does not display for PC users. It looks fine on my iMac, but can't figure out why PCs won't display.

Reverse iWeb Blog Order

I know this has already been discussed. But I have used this code in blog archives and in the blog summary on the HTML snippet and it does nothing when I publish it, the blog entries are still recent at top, old at the bottom. Can anybody PLEASE please please help me get that reversed... Here is the code I tried from another topic on this, and it does nothing.... Thanks-
Reason being, I am using the blog template and blog entries as a very simple 'Upcoming Events' page. I just put the future date in of the event and thats the date the event it, however, the next upcoming event is put at the bottom and in the archives, I want it up top. Thanks so much
<script type='text/javascript'>
function reverseSummary() {
blogSummaryWidget = parent.document.getElementsByClassName('com-apple-iweb-widget-blogSummary flowDefining')[0].widget;
blogEntries = blogSummaryWidget.blogFeed.itemCount();
blogSummaryWidgetID = blogSummaryWidget.instanceID;
blogSummaryContentDiv = parent.document.getElementById(blogSummaryWidgetID + '-summary-content');
if (blogSummaryContentDiv.childNodes.length > 0) {
for (be=1; be<blogEntries; ++be) {
bi = (blogEntries - 1) - be;
blogSeparator = parent.document.getElementById(blogSummaryWidgetID + ('-separator-template$' + bi));
blogSummaryContentDiv.appendChild(blogSeparator);
blogEntry = parent.document.getElementById(blogSummaryWidgetID + ('-item$' + bi));
blogSummaryContentDiv.appendChild(blogEntry);
clearInterval(chkSummary);
chkSummary = setInterval('reverseSummary()', 1000);
</script>

A blog is a diary. It's about what happened. Unless you're clair-voyant and can write in advance.
Perhaps usng a calender would be more suited for the purpose of announcing future events.
The script works fine.
If I add future events and then reverse sort it, the oldest date (the past) is at the top and the future date is a the bottom.
You can change dates by double-clicking a date :

How to change the color of blog titles on blog archive page?

So while I'm waiting for apple to fix iweb's publishing problem, I might as well do a revamp of my site in the meantime.
One thing I've been itching to change, but can't is the color of the blog titles on the main blog archive page? They show up in red, even when I change the color on the actually blog entry page to blue. Can anyone please help?

Links in blog archive not working

Can anybody help me get more reliable performance from my iWeb archives page?
http://web.mac.com/truthmaker/Site/Blog/Archive.html
I am getting very frustrated with the Archives page for the blog I've created with iWeb. Often -- very, very often, the links on the Archives page for past posts are corrupted -- not by me, but somehow by the software. When these links are clicked, instead of showing the proper link and taking viewers there, the link looks like: http://web.mac.com/truthmaker/Site/Blog/$link$. This of course results in one of two different types of "Page not Found" pages.
One looks like this:
Not Found
http://web.mac.com/truthmaker/Site/Blog/$link$
The requested URL was not found on this server.
お探しのURLはこのサーバーでは見つかりませんでした。
L'URL que vous avez sollicitée n'a pas été trouvée sur ce serveur.
Die URL, die Sie angefordert haben, wurde nicht auf diesem Server gefunden.
The other is a more professional-looking page that says "We're sorry, but we can't find the iWeb page you requested. . . "
This is maddening to the point of being infuriating. These links are not always corrupted, but it seems to happen randomly and frequently. This has nothing to do with my links, which are all fine when published. It appears that this is an issue with MobileMe.
Anybody have any ideas on what I can do? My blog is extensive (more than 100 posts over eight months) and I have lots of people accessing it. The blog serves both personal and professional purposes and I cannot afford or tolerate such spotty performance. Though I love Apple products, this alone is enough to make me cancel my MobileMe subscription and look into web-hosting from a different vendor.
Can anybody help me get more reliable performance from my iWeb archives page?

Did you wait long enough for the 'archive' page to fully load before you clicked on a link ?
If not, then you may have clicked on an incompletely loaded url, resulting in the "not found" MobileMe page. (yes, indeed it's about fractions of a second, that is why it seems to happen randomly)
If this happened in Safari, clear the cache and wait for the page to fully load. Does that help ?
Ps : I can navigate from your archive to the corresponding entry ( tried 4 random links)
For other browsers, if you wait long enough for the page to fully load and then do a "reload page" and again wait long enough ... does that help ?
When you hoover over the links and do get a $links$ move over to the next one, go back... now do you see the correct link ? Not always, but most of the time it's a blog entry with a very long filename.

In iWeb, blog entries are not appearing

in iWeb, am entering blog entries which are appearing in the blog archive but showing up as an entry for people to see. Any suggestions?

Do you mean 'appearing in the blog archive but not showing up as an entry for people to see' ?
By default iWeb limits the number of entries in a blog feed to 5; it then moves older episodes to the archive page (and out of the feed) as new entries are made. You can increase this number to 50 in the RSS section of the Inspector.
New entries should not be appearing in the Archive, though if you were giving them older dates then they presumably would.
Posting the URL of your blog might aid in finding a solution.

Is it possible to have a blog archive page including pictures?

In my blog, there is a blog summary, and there is the blog archive page. The blog summary shows the main picture of the blog, however, the blog archive is only a title list with links previous blogs.
Is it possible to also show pictures in the blog archive page (next to the blog title)?
So far, I have not been able to find this functionality in IWeb. Maybe it doesn't exist?
Thanx!

In the upper right of this forum's _main page_ is a +Search Forum+ bar. If you enter:
blog archive image
...into it and hit Enter, you'll find the first hit in the list is your answer.

IWeb '08 archive page blank

I just tried to change the theme of my website in iLife '08 and everything worked fine except now my blog archive page is completely blank. The entries page still has all the entries and still links to the archive page but the archive page is blank in iWeb. I have not uploaded it to the web yet since I changed the theme- I don't want to lose all the entries. Is there any way to re-create the archive page for the already complete entries? Thanks.

I have the same problem as you, but lost all 10 new pages on a new site I just created. I did upload the new site with no problems and the pages are still online, but empty on iWeb. All my previous sites are untouched.
As you have not uploaded, I assume the problem is with the software and maybe Leopard? I'm waiting for Apple to fix the problem. I have no answer for you, there are plenty of others with blank pages waiting for Apple...
