IWeb blog updates on Facebook

When I update my blog, it is immediately published on my Facebook page, but the link redirects you to the main page and not the most recent blog post. Can I change some settings to make that work? I don't want my FB friends to have to navigate first to the meta-blog page then to the most recent post...
Thanks for your help!

Go to facebook and see what they have to offer.
Try the fb send button :

  • 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.

    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 remote updating

    I will be going on travel and would like to update my blog on my site. problem is i will be traveling with a pc laptop from work. is there any way to update the iweb blog remotely?

    Phil ~ I don't know how practical this would be, but...
    ...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.
    ...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.

  • IWeb Blog RSS feed no longer updates

    When I originally published my iWeb blog to .Mac, the RSS feed contained all 3 posts. Since then the RSS feed hasn't updated, although I've added several new entries to the blog. I've checked the source code of the RSS feed and it only contains the original 3 posts.
    Any suggestions for getting the RSS feed to update?

    Follow-up post. Strangely, when checking ths RSS feed from IE at work, I see the new posts in the source data of the feed. So this is not an iWeb problem, but probably related to the more general RSS update issues within Safari.

  • Updating iweb blog

    I've built a website with iWeb and moved it to a third party ISP.  How do I update the blog efficiently?  Don't see any help on the topic.

    You are aware that by publishing an iWeb blog to a 3rd party FTP server you will lose the following features, right?
    Features Unavailable When Publishing to a 3rd Party Server:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search

  • Update iWeb blog from Internet

    Is there any way I can update my iWeb blog when I'm not with my macbook?

    I came across this solution: http://automator.us/iphone
    It is geared towards using the iPhone, but it would likely work from any email app.

  • 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.

  • IWeb not updating site changes, even overnight!

    Hi iWeb-experts,
    Having problems with iWeb and have waded through the site and other forums and yet to find a solution.
    Site is marccheckley.com. I successfully moved the site before MobileMe closed shop and made updates to the site a few months back.
    Now I'm trying to upload further changes but iWeb has stopped functioning. I get no status that the site is being changed, as it was previously. And I know this has not happened as I have it linked to my Facebook and no "updated website" has popped up on my Wall.
    I even left it overnight to update website changes and still nothing. Even clearing brower's cache etc. I tested the FTP connection all good and nothing been changed since my last updates a while back.
    All 'pages' of site remain red, not updated in iWeb.
    Really not sure what's happened. Nothing but probs since the closure of MobileMe, my podcast is still on hiatus due to linking problems, now website issues with iWeb.
    Anyone have an idea and fix?
    Always appreciated.

    If you are using the iWeb FTP to upload make sure the box next to "Update my Facebook profile when I publish this site" is unchecked. Checking this box prevents the FTP from working.
    Also make sure you have no bad file names with spaces or special characters - particularly image files. This will halt the upload process.

  • 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.

  • 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 - 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 - Importing Friendster Blog

    I have a blog on Friendster that I'd like to continue in iWeb.
    Forgettng iWeb right now, as a first step, does anyone know how to export text AND images from Friendster blog to a file/group of files to my computer? (second step would be to re-arrange and upload to iWeb, but I can't get the first step done!).
    Current Friendster export generates an HTM file with all the text, but HTML references to locations on the site where my images are; any automated way to download these from the site, save to disk, and update the reference in the original HTM file?
    Thanks
    Alan

    Before you spend time on this, make sure you know how limited iWeb blogs are. There may be a lot of things you can do with Friendster that you can't do with iWeb.

  • Can you add an RSS feed on an iweb blog that would allow visitors to receive new entries by email?

    Can you add an RSS feed on an iweb blog that would allow visitors to receive new blog entries through their email?

    RSS feeds don't do that - if they add the feed to an RSS reader (including Safari or FireFox) they will see new updates every time they check: but sending them emails on each added episode would require extra programming in the actual program, which iWeb doesn't provide. You would need to have a mailing list and send out an email manually each time you add an episode.

  • Blog update not showing up

    I maintain a blog on my website (http://web.mac.com/kurtzjack/) but an entry I did last night, with a photo and text, is not showing up on the entry's page (http://web.mac.com/kurtzjack/jacksjoint/My_Occasional_Blog/Entries/2008/4/30_StackingTortillas.html).
    What's got me stumped is that they do show up on the blog page of the website (http://web.mac.com/kurtzjack/jacksjoint/My_Occasional_Blog/My_OccasionalBlog.html)
    Is this a problem on the .mac servers or do I have some weird thing going on with iWeb.
    Thanks, Jack

    okay now I'm really confused. I reuploaded the blog update (http://web.mac.com/kurtzjack/jacksjoint/My_Occasional_Blog/Entries/2008/4/30_StackingTortillas.html)
    and it's showing up on my web site. But now the photo and text are not showing up on the blog's index page
