IWEB BLOG WEBSITE

I created a blog website -- for the ease of changing items -- my website is thinteriorartdesign.com I'm trying to use this as a professional website as directed by a genius at the Apple Store. Here's my problem.... The images keep moving around on the page - I get white lines -- on top of them -- when I remedy this by deleting the page and starting a new one -- that seems fine - but another artist's images seem to have moved. Go to Nancy Volpe -- and see what happens. I fixed Nancy Volpe and when I visit my website on my computer - it seems fine - when I go to my husbands computer -- the image is covering up part of her name at the top. HELP!

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.

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:

Comments in iWeb blog.

I created a website and a blog using iWeb 3.0.4 but no body can leave any comments, even when I had checked the box allowing comments. Help anyone?
Thanks!!
Capechic

What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand? Where are you hosting your blog website? If it's not to MobileMe that's the reason they can't. Do you have an Add a Comment link showing?
If so what happens when someone tries to add a comment?

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.

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

Twit this html snippet for iWeb blog?

Anybody have a text-only HTML snippet for TwitThis that works on an iWeb blog? If you use the one on the TwitThis website, it points to just the HTML snippet, not the entire page. Here's their snippet, FWIW:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://s3.chuug.com/chuug.twitthis.scripts/twitthis.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>


Hi Steve,
Did you find out an answer to this question? I would like to add a "Tweet/Twit This" button to my site as well.
Thanks.

Seeking simplest replacement for iWeb family website

OK, with MobileMe about to bite the dust I am seeking the simplest, free (or lowest cost) replacement for iWeb that offers the following:
1. Ability to create web pages for major family events (wedding, births, etc.).
2. Ability to use our purchased domain name to name the site.
3. Ability to link to our genealogy site and other web info.
4. Tight integration with iPhones - to import new photos and pages.
Basically, our website is an online scrapbook. I don't really want a blog to tell the world about all our recent activities; I just want a place that mainly offers photo albums and maybe some written content. I'm not interested in Facebook because I want to be able to have the site separate from Facebook.
Suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I can't see why anybody would want to pay this (or any) amount for a simple transfer. In any case, nearly all the files in a MobileMe account should be first downloaded to your Mac since most of us used it for more than just website hosting.
Unless you have a very basic site, you will have folders of assets outside of the main website folder. These need to be uploaded to the root folder on the new server and the URLs to them need to be changed in iWeb. Anybody who doesn't take the time to learn basic FTP and the server file structure is going to have even more problems with this part of the operation!
The actual files produced by iWeb don't need to be moved anyway since its just a question of publishing to the new hosting account using one of the methods shown here...

The first two companies mentioned on this page will move the files for free for new customers...

Publish iWeb blog from Windows

Hello everyone. I just created a blog in iWeb and publish it on an FTP server, but the blog will be managed by a friend and I, and my friend uses Windows. I want to know if there is any way for my friend to post on the blog from Windows.
Thank you.

Frankly, there must a way around this. Granted, there's no chance your friend on the PC can run iWeb, but all iWeb does (assuming you're using a local folder and not MobileMe) is edit the html and xml files. In theory, if your friend can edit these files from afar and update your files with newer versions, there stands no reason that this shouldn't work.
Come to think of it, you could use DropBox. Saving your site to a local folder in your DropBox folder (my website, for example, uses this trick), you can give your friend the authorization to access the folder, which only requires an internet connection to access. From there, he or she may be able to edit the code (adding a new post, for example) and saving the changed documents in the DropBox folder. You can use whatever FTP program you like to upload your website from said local folder.
Does any of that make sense? I'm facing similar problems, trying to give non-Mac authors access to post on my iWeb-constructed website.

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.

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
Cuppa
http://www.cuppa500.com

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 date problem inconsistency

The date that appears on my iWeb blog entries is different from my computer to another person's computer. On my computer, the blog entry dates in my iWeb software appears the same as what I see when I browse the site on the internet using my Safari browser, but the dates are different when browsing the website from other computers!
How is this possible and can it be fixed?
My website is http://www.marcandeliana.com

I've got this for the Finding Nemo article

Posting to an iWeb blog from an iPhone

I'm about to do a big charity walk (Wainwright's Coast to Coast). I'd like to post to a blog on my iWeb website. Can someone tell me if I can do this easily and how please? Many thanks Ian Smith

I think you need to ask in the iWeb forum, or find some people who really use iWeb blogs. My sense is that the iWeb platform is pretty limited, but I don't really know.
I'm pretty sure there is no iWeb app for the iPhone. Ask Apple for one here:
http://apple.com/feedback
So one question is--does iWeb let you use the XML-RPC protocol that seems to be the standard for blogging clients? Or some other standard? If so, presumably an iPhone blog client like this could be set up:
http://appshopper.com/social-networking/iblogger
but you need some people who know iWeb to help you figure out what the settings would be.
Or maybe iWeb has a Post-by-Email capability? Again, ask iWeb experts.
If iWeb doesn't support any of those, you could certainly set up a WordPress.com blog or something--they have both post-by-email and a blogging app. Or Blogger/Blogspot or any major blogging platform. Maybe iWeb has the ability to show an RSS feed on your iWeb blog, so that it would show links to the WP.com posts that you make.
A charity walk sounds made for Twitter, though, if you ask me.

Scripting iWeb blogging

Hi!
I am using iWeb '09 to update my website, hosted on MobileMe using a custom domain. I have been using Posterous for blogging, as I liked it's update via email feature quite a lot. Now I am planning to move from Posterous to an iWeb blog. The only thing stopping me is mobile posting. As my Mac is always on and connected to the Internet, I'd like to implement the same email posting feature Posterous has using AppleScript and Mail.app rules.
Up until now I have been able to write a script that takes the needed info out of the message and parses it a bit. The thing I do not know is how to make a new blog entry in iWeb with AppleScript. Here's what I scripted:
on performmailaction(theData)
tell application "Mail"
set theSelectedMessages to |SelectedMessages| of theData
set theTitle to (subject of theSelectedMessages)
set theEntry to (content of theSelectedMessages)
try
set theImage to every attachment of content of theSelectedMessages
end try
set mailbox of theSelectedMessages to mailbox "Completed rules"
end tell
end performmailaction
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "blog"
set theReadyTitle to theTitle
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "#end"
set theReadyEntry to first word of theEntry
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {""}

I believe if you are able to use the script to update vie email when you open the blog with iWeb those additions will not be in iWeb and if you publish from iWeb it may wipe out what was added earlier.
Why not just keep the Posterous blog since it does everything you want and embed it into one of your iWeb pages as in this example:Embed a Site Within an iWeb Page.
That's what some of the serious blogger recommend. This way if, for some reason, you drop your MMe account or want to move to a 3rd party hosting server you won't lose all of your blog entries. They are stored on the MMe server and will be lost if you drop the account or move.
Just some food for thought.

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
◼ Hit counter
