IWeb Blog Error: "blog.webtemplate" couldn't be opened

So my iweb crashed as I was writing a new blog entry and when I reopened it all the pages were ok with the exception of the blog "entries" page which just show up as a blank white page in iweb. I tried adding another "blog page" and I got the error "The template 'blog.webtemplate' couldn't be opened. I've restarted the comp, run a permissions repair, but with no luck.
Suggestions?

First thing to do: make at least one backup or copy of your sites folder but don't replace the one your had made earlier. Give it an other name or so. I suppose or hope it's only the app that has gone bad, not your site files.
There is an update of iLife and I hope they fixed some bugs in iWeb too.
I'll have a look at it today and see whether my problem have disappeared.
You can go back with Time Machine to the time when the app was working (even with bugs). Then try the iLife update.

TS2167 iWeb blog publishing help?

I am having trouble publishing an iWeb blog page. I keep getting "Publish Error" unkown msg. I have an iWeb website already and wanted to add a blog. Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks

ok I know I am going to come across really dumb here but....
Ok, thanks for the help. However, the file you indicate is missing - what is this where should it go and what do I do with it.
I have no idea why the domain name is also my site name these were the details given by my host people, although they did say they would sort it out to look better in the browser etc.
Not sure what you mean about making something an image if it's a text? I have chosen the text 'cracked' so assuming everywhere I have used this (alot) I should split the words individually?
I have gone through all the links at the bottom of my page and they all go to where I want them to go within the website design on iweb, I've tested all ?
Sorry if I am being a little dumb here but the program was easy to use without further IT knowledge, i really appreciate your feedback as I am very keen to get my site live asap but please could you expand on your feedback so I can put these wrongs right.
many thanks

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:)!

Iweb Blog ftp or mobile me?

I have just designed a website in iweb that I ftp through godaddy. Took a while to make that decision, but at least I have complete design control! I am doing pretty well and now at the search rankings stage and realize that iweb isn't great at that. Read some of the articles here on search rankings and downloaded the SEO guide and going to take actions with that, and also bought the godaddy search optimisation pack and intend to place the metatags/descriptions etc on my pages.
BUT, I now want to design a second site which is just a blog, which obviously isn't showing up through godaddy, so need to mobileme it. But, with a blog, how do you add the metatags etc to the pages, and are their individual pages for each blog posting? Does mobile me make it easy to go into each file and make the blog searchable? Just not sure whether to just design blog pages myself in iweb rather than their formatted ones, and use godaddy instead?
So, in short - mobile me with formatted iweb blog? or design own blog and ftp with godaddy - which makes the pages more searchable?

Welcome to the discussions. You'll probably have better luck making your blog pages more searchable if you use a dedicated blogging platform — most of them allow tags to be specified.
MobileMe is slow and problems with iWeb's blog are a recurring theme on these forums. For a success story with a non-iWeb blog hosted on WordPress, see this old thread:
To blog or not to blog
And to link to an external blog from iWeb's navbar:
Create a blank internal page titled "Blog" (Actually you can name the page whatever you want.) Then in that Blog page add an HTML Snippet with the following code:
<script type="text/javascript">
parent.window.location = "http://www.yourblogname.com"; // change this to your own URL
</script>
...Once published, clicking on "Blog" in the navbar will immediately redirect to your external Blog page. (Thanks to Cyclosaurus for the code).
SEO is important to you, but iWeb is designed for personal sites and, as such, Apple apparently thinks there's no need for Google. Web-design apps for business sites tend to integrate SEO — Sandvox Pro is an example:

Most Popular Entries in iWeb Blog. Possible??

I want to put a box in my iweb blog that will contain the most viewed (most popular) entries I have in the blog so they could be easily accessible. Is it possible because Im searching the net but I cannot find anything... What do you think?

There is a workaround that involves quite some work to do by hand.
1. Get a Google webmaster account
2. Add the Google Analytics code to your HTML files (post publish editing)
3. Look at the results on a regular base to see what Blog entry is most popular
4. Show the most popular Blog entry in an iFrame (you'll have to change them by hand)
This is a summary. Feel free to ask for details.
Kind regards,
Leo

Could an iWeb blog page be modified to...

...parse wordpress entries so that they appear "iWeb'sh" even though being created and maintained in Wordpress?

I'm having similar problems with the automatic RSS Feed link that the iWeb blog page uses.
I also figured I could create my own custom RSS icon/link for the page, but that still doesn't resolve the issue for the RSS Feed link that is automatically generated by the Firefox or Safari browsers I'm online with a MobileMe Support rep now (crossed fingers)

Only found one question similar and NO ANSWER to it.

Same problem here...nothing in my settings have changed since the upgrade and I've checked my cookie settings and they allow 3rd party cookies. What's up Mozilla? I've been faithful to you for years and you let me down now?

How to copy iWeb blog to new iWeb site?

Hi Folks,
I am able to successfully move, via drag and drop, my blog from an old iWeb site to a new one in iWeb.
However, what I want to do is to preserve the old blog as a backup, and them start updating and chagging the blog contet in the new iWeb site. I actually use the blog on my site as a way to list courses.
I've tried to copy files in the iWeb site files, and then reopen iWeb, and I can't see the blog page listed.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Inoshi

To be able to drop and drag from one site to another in iWeb, you firstly need to have iWeb 09. You then need to open the relevant domain.sites file and you need to have the sites underneath each other, so Site1 above and then Site2 below and all you do is just click on the Blog page on Site1 and just drag it over and down to Site2.
You can't do it individually, but you need to drag from one site to another.
I would also advise that you don't use the iWeb blog, as it is not that good and there are better alternatives out there.
You might like to look at some new software too such as EverWeb - http://www.everwebapp.com. It is very like iWeb, but is actively supported and developed whereas for the last 2 years, iWeb has not been and has not been sold by Apple either.
If you wanted a better blogging system, you could transfer your whole website into WordPress.org. You need to install it on a server at your web host, but it might serve you better and you can create a blog it you want to and you can extend it with the use of plugins. Would not take too long to re-create depending on the size of your site and it is relatively easy to use compared to the other CMS's.
Think about changing before iWeb becomes unusable.

Importing iWeb Blog to Blogger

It seems impossible to export my iWeb Blog feed and then import it to Blogger... are there any work arounds? iWeb has limitations that aren't good for the blog set up. I'd like to use it for something else and move my blog to blogger. Thanks in advance.

If you want to be able to transfer your blog comments from MobileMe to another blogging platform, there is more support for doing this via the Wordpress blog.

How can I redirect iWeb Blog to Wordpress

Hi - I'm looking to redirect my iWeb blog to a temporary WordPress blog and was hoping there was some code I could use to do this? Or can I do this directly in iWeb?
* Would I download the Index.html file to do this to add code? Then reupload to iDisk when finished?
Is there a standard redirect code for me to use? I'm looking to have readers type web.me.com"username" - and be directed to a Wordpress blog site.
Thanks in advance for any help -

You can add the following code to an HTML snippet on your iWeb blog page:
<script type="text/javascript">
parent.window.location = "URL TO PAGE ON SITE YOU WANT TO REDIRECT TO"; </script>
When someone lands on your iWeb blog they will immediately be redirected to your other blog.

Move iWeb blog to WordPress?

Hello,
I hope someone can help me. I have a blog at a MobileMe site that will soon disappear. The address is web.me.com/tjkk2 . I now have a WordPress blog and would love to move the entries at this old site into the new WordPress one. Is there a way that this can be done? If someone could point me the way forward to do this, I would be most grateful.
Thank you very much.

Not sure if you already went through with copying and pasting your blog posts, but I just found this tool that lets you import your iWeb blog posts and comments to wordpress.

IWeb Publish Error - A lock occurred while publishing to MobileMe

iWeb Publish Error - A lock occurred while publishing to MobileMe. Try publishing again later.
I've tried all articles so far on apple support site. Tried on new OS user and publishing to folder and publishing a test page. I still get an error. Publishing to folder works fine, its just when I publish to MobileMe. Also tried different network and restarting computer etc.
Help me. Thanks.

If you are logged in OK maybe you should look at your Keychain.
Finer/Go/Utilities/Keychain Access.app.
Try "Keychain First Aid" from the "Keychain Access" drop down menu.

I don't know what you mean by "blog stats".
Have you looked at Google Analytics?
