IWeb default page address is wrong

I have recently updated wy web pages including deleting an old page. Everything has published fine.
When I enter the default address for my site as suggested in the iWeb help, http://web.mac.com/[user name] "...insert your user name where it says 'user name' and don't use the brackets..."
I do this and tell my friends to do the same to keep updated.
The problem is that when I enter this into my browser it tries to go to a page I deleted and another page comes up that says "The Page you requested does not exist" I know that because I deleted it and replaced with an updated page.
What am I missing? I've poured through the help viewer and tried everthing it says to no avail. What can I do to correct the default address?

Your short iWeb URL is http://web.mac.com/username
Usually this URL leads to the default site and homepage that is at the top of the Site Organizer list in iWeb. In other words, you can change which site your short iWeb URL leads to just by dragging sites/pages around so that the one you want is at the top of the list.
Sometimes things get a little wonky with multiple updates and adding and deleting pages. Not your fault. Usually, clearing your browser cache can do the trick (in Safari, look under the Safari menu and select "Emtpy Cache..."). But if this isn't working for you, then it may be necessary to clear out the cobwebs by having iWeb lay down your entire site file by file fresh. You do this by selecting "Publish All to .Mac" under the File menu in iWeb. This usually solves issues like this.
Try it out and see if it works for you. If not, post back and I'm sure that we'll figure something else out. Also, it helps sometimes to post your URL if you are comfortable with that.... you know how a picture can sometimes be worth a thousand words...

IWeb RSS feed address is wrong and "Visit" button address is wrong

Any ideas why when visitors try to use the RSS feed, it uses an incorrect address ? How/where do I correct the address the RSS feed should direct to? I'm using mobileme to host my webpage and blog.
As an extra question, when I hit the VISIT button on the bottom of the iWEb editing page, the link is also broken. Are these two related?
Thanks to everyone for any input!

Please visit : douglaslittlephotography.ca
If you type that in, and go to the blog, and hit the RSS feed, it doesn't work. . .
Thanks for looking and helping!

Iweb opens with a blank default page..where has my site gone?

I have been using iweb to run a web site for almost 18months. Yesterday I tried out "iwebsites" which I downloaded from apple. It suggested I can run multiple sites and a friend wants me to run one for her. Originally I was advised to set up a family pack dot mac account which would let me have more than one site . I upgraded my single user account. However I find that I can only publish with one domain name, hence the reason I looked at iwebsites. However, since trying it out I find that when I go to update my site , iwb opens a blank default page and my listing for my original site is gone. Where has it gone? I publish all to iweb & I don't think I have published to a folder.I can't find my default page at all and think I may have to redesign the site from scratch. Please help!I can still see my site if I visit it , here is the address:
http://web.mac.com/cldominic/Site/clairedominicfamilyphotography.co.uk.html
But now I want to continue building it and can access the iweb default page to build on it.
Please someone advise,
Thanks
Claire

Sorry to sound totally stupid but I think I have tried this . However I may not have done it correctly. When I enter the info what do I type? The http:// address or the name of the site. I haven't had much luck so far.

TS3899 When sending email from the Mail App or through other Apps, my default From: address will change when I enter a To: address. This sometimes leads me to send the email from the wrong outgoing email account. It is frustrating and poor design.

When sending email from the Mail App or through other Apps on my iPad, my default From: address will change when I enter a To: address. This sometimes leads me to send the email from the wrong outgoing email account. It is frustrating and poor design, especially since I had already checked the From: address.
iPad 4 running iOS 8.1.3

3rd party email addresses have to be deleted on every synmced mac product, although I have 1and1.co.uk and my imac updatetes the mails in that account from mac mail.
Yahoo etc is a 2 step deleting process but good to get your emails pushed when on the go.

Change default page size in iWeb?

Is it possible? How do you do it?
At the moemnt I am having to adjust each and every page manually and that takes ages.

I am using a software called iWebsites which can change the default page. This way I can open another new page making it the default preference and possibly change its size. Normally, I get the size thing correct in the first place. Some images survive well as gifs while others are retained as jpgs. I don't oversize my pixs. It's just for display ...

Default outgoing email address is wrong, how do I change it ?

I've been using Thunderbird successfully for several years with 6 different email accounts - 1 gmail account, 2 yahoo accounts, and 3 accounts on another domain.
Recently I added a new gmail account for a project I'm working on.
Now, the default email address defaults to the new account, which is not what I want at all.
If I'm replying to or forwarding emails or writing new emails I want the address that I'm sending from to default to the mailbox that I'm currently using, replying from or forwarding from.
If that just isn't possible, I'd be happy if it defaulted to my general email address (the first one I had) but I certainly don't want Thunderbird to use the email address for the new account, which my project colleagues want only to be used in connection with the project.
How do I resolve this, please ?

There is an assumption thast if you are viewing emails in a particular account and then select Write, that you are wanting to Write an email to do with the account you are viewing, so....
If you are viewing emails in account A and then click on Write, the FROM email address will be Account A,
If you are viewing emails in account B and then click on Write, the FROM email address will be Account B,
you can set any account as default.
This will be the one positioned at the top.
* Tools > Account Settings
* Select the account name
* click on 'Account Actions'
* click on 'Set as default'
* click on OK
If you want to reorganise more than just setting the default account.

How do you HYPERLINK a web page address to an EXCEL document in Firefox like is possible in Explorer

How do you HYPERLINK a web page address to an EXCEL document in Firefox like is possible in Explorer?

When you follow a hyperlink in Excel, usually it should open in your default browser. You shouldn't have to do anything special in Excel to create the link when Firefox is your default browser compared with IE. However, the Insert Hyperlink dialog might work differently. I think it might be able to automatically pre-populate a URL from IE, while in Firefox, you need to copy the URL from Firefox's address bar and paste it into the Insert Link dialog.

Change the Default page size to 980px?

Is there a way to set a default page size? In other words, if i want a website that is larger than 700px wide, do i have to change the size of the page and resize all of the content on every page i create? or can i make 980px the default and not have to resize all the content every time?

I just looked at that. I haven't used albums to be honest but, iWeb will not allow the copying the album for whatever reason. I have been copying the photo's template for my photo pages.

Internet Explorer 7 - Trouble loading iWeb 08 Pages

Is anyone else having trouble with iWeb 08 pages not loading properly when viewed in Internet Explorer 7?
Everything loads fine on a Mac (Firefox 2.0) and even on a PC using Firefox but when viewing the site from IE7 it seems like pages containing photos (ie photo pages and blog entries) are having trouble loading completely. The images never appear or some images appear or some thumbnails fail to appear in the new photo gallery page.
Solutions? Work arounds? Or is this just a bug that needs to be repaired in an upgrade?
I love the Mac but the new iWeb and iPhoto seem a little glitchy out of the box.

mtd,
I tested your site on my PC with IE 7. No problems. In fact I tested load times for both Safari (Mac) and IE (PC) and they were almost identical. I compared screens side by side and they looked the same. Some of you may not have updated versions of IE. Additionally the IE browser settings can be a bit tricky. You know, it's MS so troubleshooting is a given! One suggestion is to delete all the cookies currently running in IE 7 and give it another viewing.
I have noticed that some themes slow down both browsers. It's a matter of complexity of the theme.
All the Best,

Trouble Creating an iWeb "Hub Page"

Have been away from iWeb for a while, but now need some reminders on how to do a few things which I can't seem to find the commands for, but which I'm assuming should be relatively simple -- and that assumption is probably my first mistake!
The Project: Am needing to create a kind of iWeb "Hub-Page", which basically consists of a header, title graphic, etc. (that part's ready to go), and then four "poster-frame" images (let's say sized roughly 320x240), each of which is a link to either an Aperture-published Gallery (but one which is "invisible" to my other Galleries); an Aperture-published web page; or an iWeb-created Photo and/or Albums page.
In an ideal world, it would be great if each of these poster-image hyperlinks could be mouse-skimmed so the visitor could preview the contents before actually activating the link -- but I'm guessing that may still not yet be possible. What I definitely DON'T want is the automatic, never-ending "slideshow" effect I see when I try using the MobileMe Gallery widget.
So, my general questions are:
1) If using the MM Gallery widget, how do you simply disable that auto-cycling preview effect? (Surely there's an option for at least that much somewhere -- like the animation controls for a My Albums page.)
2) Also, how do you get the preview thumbs to fit within whatever image frame size you've set, rather than the ugly default whereby they get arbitrarily cropped when their aspect ratios and their horizontal/vertical alignments differ from that of the image frame?
3) And is there an equivalent way to link "dynamically" (i.e. with the mouse-scrubbing ability) from iWeb to an Aperture-published +web page+ (as opposed to a Gallery album), or even to a separate iWeb-published photo page (one which is either part of the same overall site, or a page from a separate site)?
4) OR... (if the answers to 1-3 are basically "it's 2010, and iWeb is still glued to coverage of the 2004 Summer Games in Athens"), should I just forget about widgets, and mouse-skimming, and simply drag in four representative images, make each a hyperlink to whichever MobileMe Gallery, Aperture Web Page, or other iWeb page I desire, and be done with it?
And if the answer to #4 is a firm "Yes", is there any way I can still have a uniform navigation bar across the top of each page, allowing for quick flipping between them? (...in other words, to have these various Galleries and individual photo pages -- each with their own unique URLs -- all appear within some kind of frame *when accessed via this new iWeb "hub page" I'm creating*... or will the visitor always have to click Back to the hub-page in order to then go to one of the other pages represented there?)
Hope that made some sense -- any guidance on any of the above will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
John B.

So basically you're saying you do not like the default features of iWeb, MobileMe Gallery and all that, and you actually want a custom website. If that's the case, the short answer is: design it yourself. But it requires study, effort, finding solutions, practice, finding alternatives and more study. It's called webdesign. And for the most parts, you gave the answers yourself. So do what you want.
To be fair -- and perhaps my original intent wasn't clear -- I was really just trying to get clarification on a few of those iWeb, MobileMe Gallery, and related-app defaults, especially the current extent and limitations of their configurability. I stress "current", since any application default -- and whatever options exist to change its parameters -- is obviously a constantly changing and ever-evolving process. One version's "sorry, no way" scenario is often the next version's empowering new feature.
For instance...
1. Create the webpages you want to link to.
2. On the hub page add the four images.
3. Hyperlink the images to the pages you created in 1.
Which is indeed the Plan B scenario I outlined in item #4 of my original post, and which is essentially what I did in fact end up doing.
That original post was primarily an attempt to see if my Plan A scenario was an iWeb possibility yet (as I mentioned, having been largely away from the app since the previous version). I figure it's best to check these forums first before sending off more suggestions and feature requests to Apple Feedback, since it sometimes happens that the capability I'm seeking has in fact been implemented, and I'm just not looking in the right place.
And there's always a very grey area between configuring and customizing, especially in the area of web design -- iWeb itself being a good example. For all its easy-to-use, pre-defined templates (and thank goodness for them), iWeb does in fact also allow for a great deal of website customization in many areas. There are certainly a number of things of which it's now capable, which if proposed in the days of version 1 would have merited the response: "you're asking for a custom site -- learn how to code and design it yourself".
Much of what I'd like to be able to do is just that -- nice if available as an already-impemented feature, but not essential, and certainly not something I could justify spending large amounts of time learning how to achieve manually. Especially since this morning's non-configurable default is this afternoon's Feedback suggestion and next Tuesday's exciting new feature.
(Okay, maybe next month's.)
But as for any unrealistic expectations, my only true annoyance with any current default is when it seems arbitrarily limiting -- case in point being the automatic slideshow preview feature of the MM Gallery widget, which apparently comes with absolutely no "Off" switch. To me that just makes little if any sense, and runs counter to the general spirit of user-friendliness we've come to expect in our Apple apps, whether consumer or pro level. It's as if certain kinds of links (say to any external page) automatically included an engagingly cute musical intro, and there was no option to disable that default. It might be a fun feature, even a very cool one, but to make it mandatory, with no way to NOT have it enabled? I'd say that's a default that clearly needs to be changed (as in: made optional).
So would still love to hear from anyone who may have found a way to do this in iWeb '09 -- failing which, I'll definitely be adding that to my next batch of iWeb Feedback notes. Only question will be: whether to label it a Feature Request, or a Bug Report?
(BTW, for any humorously-challenged readers, that last question was meant as a joke.)
Thanks again though to Wyodor for taking the time to respond.

Does and one know if you can change the navigation menu at the top of the iWeb template pages?

Does and one know if you can change the navigation menu at the top of the iWeb template pages? I need to make the background a little wider.

It depends on which template you use.
You can also hide the default navigation and build your own which allows more freedom of design and is better for search engine optimization...

Make sure you use web-safe fonts in your navigation...

Hot to have my website point to a webpage instead of the default page

Hi,
I have a website set up for iAS and it shows the default page for iAS and there's a link to EM.
How can I make my website redirect to a specific page? Thanks.
I tried mod_rewrite on the httpd_conf and it isn't working so far.
# Loading mod_rewrite module here as it has to load before mod_oc4j
LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/mod_rewrite.so
AddModule mod_rewrite.c
<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
#UserDir public_html
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule
^/shortcut$ /homedriectory/home.html
</IfModule>

Your default webpage is called shortcut or why you use this? If I'm not wrong, I think the default page is index.html or you can try to use only *^/*.
Greetings

Shopping cart default delivery address based on company code

Hi All,
As a standard behaviour of SRM, currently delivery address in shopping cart is defaulted from attribute (ADDR_SHIPT). But in our case we use cross company purchasing where requisitioners buy for different company codes.
Some times, they forgot to change the default dlivery address and shopping carts are getting created with wrong delivery address.
Is there any way, the we can default the delivery address based on company code selected by the user instead of defaulting from user attribute?
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Krish

Hi Krish,
Am looking for a same solution but instead of delivery address, we are looking for change in invoice recipient address
ADDR_BILLT. For this i have identifed a FM: BBP_GET_BILL_TO_PARTY from which system pulls the defaulted attribute of user profile. Now we are in a change of pulling the attribute defaulted to the company code entered in SC rather than the user's defaulted ADDR_BILLT.
Similarly i guess for your issue you can use the FM: BBP_GET_ORG_SHIPTO_ADDR implementing a enhancement in DOC CHANGE BADI

Nihar
