IWeb Blog - How do people leave comments?

Hi - I have made a site with iWeb and added a blog. Even though I have 'ticked' the box to allow comments I can't see where or how anyone can leave any?
Can anyone help me with what I am doing or not doing?

You can use a 3rd party comments site to add to your blog page without having to change servers. This one has been recommended by several users: http://www.intensedebate.com/
Another one is http://aboutecho.com/products-overview.html but I think that's not free if there's over so many comments. I've not used either so can't comment on their effectiveness first hand.

IWeb blog - How much to upload?

I have an established blog on my iWeb created website, in my own domain. http://www.cuppa500.com/CCC/CCC.html
To add a new entry to the blog I complete the following procedure:
Compose update & save in iWeb
Publish to a folder (on my desktop)
Transfer the updated material to my web site using FTP (Fireftp in Firefox).
This works ok ...BUT... each time I have uploaded the entire blog even if only correcting a previously uploaded spelling mistake! With the increasing size of my blog, this is becoming quite a lengthy process.
QUESTION
Is it possible to upload individual blog entries, & if so how?
Very soon, I will wanting to update my blog more regularly whilst travelling, Mobile broadband is expensive so a method to cut back on the amount of data I upload is pretty essential.
Thanks

If you update/correct a previous entry you can upload the files for that page only. If you do this for a new entry you will break the file structure.
I don't use the iWeb blog because it is restrictive and soon becomes unwieldy as you have discovered.
Consider starting a new blog for your "travels".
You can publish several blogs as sub sites and upload them to your server as separate entities and link to and from your main site.
Using a better FTP application will help. I use Yummy which has a ton of options.

IWeb Blog how to control how many articles go into archive?

I'm probably just missing something, but after I add about five articles to my blog page, the older ones go into the archive. Is there a way to not do that, or at least have some control over how many go there?
Also, is there some way to make a change to an entry without redating (and therefore resequencing) that entry?
Thanks
Joe

Hi,
1) in iWeb go to your Blog then click on Inspector=>RSS=>Number of excerpts to show
There you can put in a number for how many entries you want to show up on the blog page on the web (you will see it's now set on 5 as you said that 5 excerpts appear in the blog)
The ones who don't show up on the blog page are still published, you can find them by going to the archive of the blog.
2) Just re-date (backdate) to original publishing date by double clicking on the date in the entries list
Enjoy your iLife,
Cédric

Google Analytics Automator breaks iWeb blog comments

Hi
I added a blog for our Small Business site that I created with iWeb. We used Google Analytics and the Automator script add the HTML snippet to track visits on our site. Since I added the blog I realized that after running the GA automator script the "Add a comment" link disappears.
Kinda defeats the purpose of the blog. I have to choose between tracking how many visitors have been on the blog, or visitors posting comments, but I can't have both. How can I fix this and track how many visitors were on our site, and have a blog where visitors can leave comments? Any ideas and solutions would be most welcome. Thanks,
Zoltan

Unfortunately, as you have discovered, inserting Google Analytics into your site requires post editing. This means that you cannot just publish directly to MobileMe from iWeb - to insert the analytics you need to publish to a folder, insert and then place the Blog directly on your iDisk - unfortunately, this way you loose the features that your iWeb blog provides when published directly to MME - i.e. Blog comments.
Do you have an ordinary website too or is it just a blog? If you have an ordinary website, what some people do, including myself, is set up a blog with WordPress, E-blogger, or http://www.posterous.com and link to it from your iWeb site.
If you are just after setting up a blog on its own without a site, then I would suggest you look at http://www.wordpress.com, http://www.eblogger.com or posterous (link provided). You can set up a blog with any template you like and can add entries on line at any time, rather than being limited to updating with the domain.sites file as you are with iWeb.
In WordPress, you can also add as many pages as you like, so you can effectively have a website as well as a blog, so the other alternatives might be a better bet than iWeb and I think they have their own built in analytics too.

How do you leave BT?

How do people leave BT broadband + Telephone ?
I have a horrible feeling I'm lumbered with a 24 month contract which renews when you move house, which I did 12 months ago. So I've either been with them over 24 months or 12 months.
So there is something called unbundling which I've heard about. Can anyone share with me what's involved, the magic words I have to state when dealing with them?
Sorry to all those new BT customers who might read this, but after this past 12 months I've had enough.
My sync speed this week:

The way I was given "Get of Jail Card Free", was through the help desk. After following their instructions and appointments several times, got to the point where I refused to do anymore, and read out everything they had asked me to do, dates and times and who I had spoken to and quoted Material Loss Then they literally pleaded with me for one more chance with the agreement that if they could not fix the issue they would terminate my contract with no penalty and transfer me to the appropriate department.
This duly happened and was given a date and Mac code for the broadband to end. I would like to add that I also complained quite early on through their online complaint form. And in contact with thier customer services.
This was done with 2 months into a 18 month contract.
You do have to remain polite and calm their is no point blasting off at the person on the phone as it is not their fault.
However it did not come to this due to the Mods here so If given the chance I would go with them. It is a lot less stressful!!!

Can other people upload pictures to my iweb site and other people comment or rate them? if so how?

can other people upload pictures to my iweb site and other people comment or rate them? if so how?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you use a MobileGallery from iPhoto to house your photos and videos you can set it up in the settings so visitors can upload items to the gallery via email.
Click to view full size
You can them embed the gallery in an iWeb page like this: MobileMe Galleries and Quicktime Movies.
I've not tried emailing a photo to a gallery so can't comment on how well it works.
For photo pages or album pages in iWeb visitors can add comments and attachments, photos, which other visitors can view. How they are added I don't know. Here's what the iWeb Help says about that:
+*About visitor comments and attachments*+
+If you publish your site to MobileMe, you can let visitors add comments and attach files (which other visitors can download) to blog, podcast, and photos pages. These comments and attachments are visible to anyone who visits your website. To prevent automated programs from posting spam to your site, anyone who posts a comment is first required to type a displayed group of characters.+
+Comments appear as soon as they’re posted, and you can delete a comment and its attachment at any time using iWeb or by visiting your site with any browser. You can also turn off comments to prevent new postings without affecting the comments already posted.+
+Comments and attachments are stored on your iDisk. Each comment can be a maximum of 32 kilobytes (KB), and each attachment can be up to 5 megabytes (MB).+
+IMPORTANT:Before posting anything to your website, make sure you own the copyright and other rights to what you or others are posting, or that you obtained all necessary permissions.+

How do I enable comments on an iWeb blog that is not hosted by MobileMe?

How do I enable comments on a blog that was created in iWeb and hosted by Go Daddy service?

You can install your own comment page using various methods...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Comments-Password-Protect.html
Example...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWebMusicWebsite/Comment.html
The alternative is to move your blog to Wordpress and retrieve all your comments from MobileMe before it disappears...

Leaving Comments on your iWeb Pages

What kind of service can I use to enable users to leave comments on my blog posts or on my pages? One that's noninvasive and super easy-to-use and most important of all, free, would be ideal. Please let me know what you use and/or how to use it.

Are you publishing to MobileMe or a 3rd party server? For regular pages you might use a guestbook like in this demo page: Guestbook.
I'll guess that you're using a 3rd party server since with MMe blogs can have comments added.

For 3rd party servers one of these might work:

Can I see how many people are subscribed to my blog via Live Bookmarks?

My blog has a "Follow me" button that allows someone to sign up for my rss feed via Live Bookmarks. Is there any way to see how many people are following?

There is no way to do this with the default RSS feed URL and iTunes, unfortunately. If you really want to see stats on your subscribers and stuff, you will need to translate your RSS feed to something like FeedBurner and then advertise that URL instead of the iWeb RSS.
Here is an example of my feed:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/dirtdoog
There are lots of stats available through FeedBurner... http://www.feedburner.com

Anyway to allow comments from readers on iWeb blogs when hosted on iPage?, Anyway to allow comments from readers on iWeb blogs when hosted on iPage?

Since Mobile Me is going away, I moved my iWeb pages to iPage. I started a blog but it won't allow readers to leave comments. Help says this feature is only available when hosted on MobileMe but MobileMe is going away! Does anyone know a way to enable reader comments to an iWeb created blog hosted on iPage?
Thanks!

The easiest way to correct your color problem is to upload the Disqus code as an HTML doc and display it in an iframe on your page. This way you can keep the black iWeb page and have the comments with a white background.
Open a text editor and paste your code. Export as HTML giving it a name like - comments.html
Upload this to the root folder on your server in a folder named - Disqus
The URL for the iframe code will be...
http://www.domain-name.com/Disqus/comments.html
This is the code for the HTML Snippet and you can change the height and width to suit your layout...
<iframe src="http://www.domain-name.com/Disqus/comments.html" frameborder="0" style="height:1000px;width:930px;padding-top:50px" scrolling="yes" allowTransparency="false" ></iframe>
Note that you need to add an identifier to each file if you want to use several - one for each blog entry.
var disqus_identifier = '0001';
var disqus_url = 'URL to the blog page';
The identifiers can simply be numbers like 0001, 0002, etc
The alternative is to style your own page if you want your comments section to have a black background. Disqus has a customizing option or you can create your own styles and add them to the head of the comments.html doc or reference a separate stylesheet. Disqus has info and guidelines about styling here...

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

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.

Google Analytics breaks iWeb blog comments

Does anybody know a workaround for Google Analytics' breaking of iWeb blog comments? Apparently, from some posts I've read, StatCounter and other traffic stat services break iWeb blog comments, too... so it's apparently an iWeb issue rather than a Google Analytics issue. FWIW, I'm publishing to my MobileMe personal domain. Thanks in advance!

I found a decent way of adding Google Analytics to all pages, without using HTML Snippits (which cause analytics to track those odd page names like widget2_markup.html), that doesn't break MobileMe comments, and doesn't require any post-processing of your iWeb site. Just Publish and go! Open up your iWeb app bundle, and drill down to Contents/Resources/Scripts/Site. Open up the file iWebSite.js in TextEdit (or your favorite text editor), and paste the following at the bottom of the file:
// Begin Google Analytics
gaTrackerId = 'ss-ddddddd-d'; // insert your tracker id here
document.observe('dom:loaded', function() {
var gaJsHost = ( ('https:' == document.location.protocol) ? 'https://ssl.' : 'http://www.') + 'google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var script = new Element('script', { 'src': gaJsHost});
var gaTrack = function() {
if (
!script.readyState
|| /loaded|complete/.test(script.readyState)
var pageTracker = gat.getTracker(gaTrackerId);
pageTracker._trackPageview();
script.observe('load', gaTrack);
script.observe('readystatechange', gaTrack);
document.body.appendChild(script);
// End Google Analytics
Credit to this solution goes to this blog post. I got the idea to find a way of using Google Analytics in Prototype (since iWeb sites use the Prototype JavaScript framework) and found that blog snippit.
And yes, since this is editing the iWeb application bundle, you may need to reapply this hack if/when iWeb is updated. Hopefully though, some enterprising iWeb engineer is reading this and will add proper Google Analytics support to iWeb for us.

IWeb Blog Theme, how increase number of entries shown

iWeb , Blog Theme, number of entries is 5 only, the rest spill over into archive. How do I change this?

Click on Inspector (bottom left in iWeb). In Inspector, click on RSS (fourth from left on top). Click on "Blog." Under "Blog Main Page," you'll see "Number of excerpts to show." Adjust the number and Voila!!
Good luck and Happy New Year.
