IWeb & Dropbox - way to use Dropbox iWeb info to fix one iWeb page?

Many thanks in advance for your attention.
Mac OS X Lion, iWeb 3.0.4
As MobileMe is coming to an end, I moved my iWeb website.
For the time being, plan on continuing to revise website through iWeb.
But I was doing some revisions to some photo albums back in iWeb and there seems something funky going on with the photo albums (they don't load up) - the iWeb template page is there - but no albums or photos.
It started when I tried to move the Photo Albums (within the iWeb application) down to a different spot in the order of pages.
Before I started revising website, I uploaded it first to DropBox. But not as a file - as a temporary website alternative to MobileMe.
In DropBox (in order for site to appear on the web, the Contents are figured differently they are in iWeb's Domain.sites2 file.
In Dropbox - I learned - there is no file - Domain.sites2
(just a lot of files and folders that make up the website).
Is there a way I can access this iWeb content in Dropbox to correct the one web page (one that held a few Photo Albums) that is now flukey under iWeb?

I've been using this method since the announcement that mobile me was disappearing, and until now have had no problems. Recent;y a friend of mine informed me that one of the 2 album pages on my site was acting hinky. It loads, just really slowly.
I Love my Dropbox, but might need another host.
Anyone know how to migrate my blog page(s) to blogger? WordPress? any other blog host? (I have accounts everywhere, just cant remember 'em all.)
What're you gonna use once iWeb becomes obsolete or is no longer updated to keep running?

Is there a way to use an individual Incorrect Message for each quiz page

The normal message
INCORRECT Click anywhere or press 'y' to continue
Could there be a way to use this for a different message on each quiz so that you could write "Your answer was wrong it should have been ...."
This would avoid branching or using Review Quiz.
The problem with Review quiz is that you have to have the Forward Navigation button showing all the way through the Presentation and Quiz (although deactivated) and tell users this is only for use in the Review Quiz mode.
It would be better if in Review quiz it was possible to review and move on with a Next button, has that been done?

Is there a way to open an iWeb page in 'new' window?

I'm trying to show a client how to run iWeb so he can tweak his own site on the road. He doesn't know html. I don't want to have to write out a complicated list of instructions for him.
Is there a way IN iWeb to have an iWeb page open as a 'new' window?
He's a songwriter ... wants visitors to be able to open a song and have it play while they continue to browse his site.
thanks

Ben:
When you create a text link to an file you can set it to open in another window by setting it up as an external page checking the appropriate checkbox in the Inspector/Link pane. . You would have to upload the file to the Music folder on the iDisk beforehand and then use the following URL:
http://homepage.mac.com/youraccount_name/.Music/FileName
Note the dot before Music in the URL. Don't forget it. See the link titled *"This sentence is linked to a jpg file."* in this demo page. It's linked to a photo but the principle is the same.

Help! I reinstalled my Mac and erased my iWeb page in the program.Its published, is there any way to download the pages from Mobile Me?

Help! I reinstalled my Mac and erased my iWeb page in the program.Its published, is there any way to download the pages from Mobile Me?

To download your pages from MobileMe simply mount your iDisk.
Then navigate to the Web > Sites folder where the pages are.
You can't do anything with them however, since iWeb cannot import them. But it's nice to know that you can download them.
You need the domain.sites2 files, iWeb uses to store its assets. Perhaps you have a backup?
See this page for pictures and movies to learn how to use the domain file :

Any way to set up iWeb pages for file download / sharing?

I have been using .Mac Homepage to set up several web pages to share audio files with my clients. I have been able to set up a different web page for each client, each with their own password, with files there for them to download.
Is there a way to duplicate this using iWeb now that .mac homepage sites are going away? I don't want the audio to stream, I just want to make the files available for downloading, and don't see any page templates in iWeb '08 for file downloading.
I know that I can use mobileme's new file sharing feature to email links to individual files, but this doesn't work as well as having all the files downloadable on one or more web pages.

If you have all of the sites in one domain file you should be able to upload only the changed pages but it's been a while since I used 08 so don't remember. You can move each site into its own domain file so that only that site is edited and published. And if you're publishing directly to mobile me only the edited files should be uploaded.
I use iWebSites to manage over 75 individual sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process and move it to another location on your HD until you're satisfied the separation process is completed and what you want.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want. Make sure you're running the lastest version of iWeb, 2.0.4 I believe.
An example of files set up for immediate download is Toad's Cellar. Each linked is linked to a zipped file which downloads when clicked on. The site could be password protected if so desired.

Using iWeb pages in emails

I've created a site to run alongside an existing shopping site and host additional content. Originally I was going to upload the iWeb pages to the shopping site's server but Mac's absurdly long URL's for blogs prevented that.
Nevertheless, I have used my dot.mac account to host the additional content.
However, I would like to send emails to our registered users that mimics a page I have created in iWeb - a html email newsletter if you like.
Can I do that?
I've tried highlighting the whole page and pasting it into an email window (Mac Mail) but that doesn't really work as all the images and text get jumbled up. Is there a way round this or am I expecting too much of iWeb at this stage.
The site is at:
http://web.mac.com/lewiseckett/iWeb/UGOsports/Welcome.html

Go to the site in Safari then in Safari go to File/Mail Contents of This Page (Apple - i).

Connecting iweb page to domain using transmit

Ok, can someone explain this to me step by step. I just just don't get it.
I created a page on iweb, and then "published to folder"
I bought a domain and hosting with "godaddy", and the I just bought transmit.
How do I connect the page I created (using iweb) to my domain name (using transmit)? by the way, I also have .mac.
Any help would be strongly appreciated.
Cheers
Gerry

In case you have tried "Publish to .Mac" already and want to know how to forward from Godaddy, here are the step by step directions...
1. Go to GoDaddy.com and login to your account.
2. Click under "Domains" and select "My Domain Names"
3. On the next page check the box next to your domain
name and then click on "Forward Domains"
4. On the right hand window, type in your iWeb
address, like http://web.mac.com/yourname
5. Don't worry about the other options for now.
6. Scroll to the bottom and click on "Save changes"
That's it! It might take a little while for GoDaddy
to update everything, but from then on anyone who
types your www.domain.com will be forwarded to your
iWeb pages.
Please provide feedback by clicking on the "solved" and "helpful" buttons in the title bars of my replies. Thanks.

Any way to turn an iWeb page into a Pages page?

I'm just finishing up an iWeb site and want to send the basic layout and images to a friend via a Pages project file. He doesn't know iWeb (and doesn't want to), but he is familiar with Pages.
Is there any way to convert an iWeb document to a Pages document, or even just one page? Everything is in 'pixels' in iWeb, and Pages doesn't seem to have a 'pixels' function. Otherwise I'd just create a similar background in Pages and copy everything over. Don't want to have to figure out conversions of pixels to inches, points, or picas.

Determine the width and height in pixels of your iWeb page.
Divide by 72 to get the width and height in inches,
To get centimeters, multiply the number in inches by 2,54.
Create a custom page size in Page setup in Pages (Or any application).
Use the numbers in inches or in centimeters.
Add a blank page in Pages.
Choose the newly created pagesize.
Set the zooming of Pages to 100%.
You now have a identical page size.
Then copy paste all objects from iWeb to Pages.
I do the reverse. I create a webpage in Pages and then copy/paste everything to iWeb.

Embedding Iweb page into Craigslist using mobile me link?

It just occurred to me that because I have a MacBook for work and a MacBookPro for home, I am using two different OS. My MacBook is still running on Leopard, but my personal computer has Snow Leopard. The blog issue is appearing no matter which computer I'm publishing from. And as of right now, iWeb is not freezing like it was earlier this evening. But what's really curious is that after publishing from both OS, the blog issue remains the same and so does the error reading. I wish that I could attach the snapshot I took from both computers. If anyone is interested in seeing the errors from the snapshot, I'd be glad to email them to you.
On another note, when I copied my domain file (from my laptop with Snow Leopard) to my iDisk to transfer to my laptop with Leopard, it wouldn't open at all. This is another new issue for me as I haven't had problems with this in the past.
So, Snow Leopard appears to have a bug, but even with using Leopard, I am still experiencing the same errors with the blog.
I just wanted to throw that out there because I really need my website up and running for the first day of school with my students next Thursday. =/

How do I back up Contacts on my iPhone 3 I got back in 2008? With MobileMe closing down, is there a way I export my Contacts info to my laptop. Alternately can I use iCloud with an iPhone this old?

How do I back up Contacts on my iPhone 3 I got back in 2008? With MobileMe closing down, is there a way Ican export my Contacts info to my laptop. Alternately can I use iCloud with an iPhone this old?

Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Windows Mail called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.
Before syncing contacts with an empty Windows Contacts address book, enter one contact in Windows Contacts. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data which you want to select. Syncing direct with Windows Contacts via the iTunes sync process is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

When I send a link to my iweb page it doesn't open

If I want to send a link of my iweb page to someone, the way I do it is firstly open the page online, copy the link from the browsers address and then from mail I goto "add hyperlink" paste the link in and then send, all looks ok, but when the other person tries to open, the link will not.
I sent to myself to test and found that the link address once sent this way from mail, is different than the original. Where the original address would be %20 it is now %2520. The number 25 is placed in front of 20 numerous times through out the link and so of course the site won't open.
Would hugely appreciate any feedback,
thanks
torder

I decided to edit my post and add some more info but I guess I took too long. So here's an edited version:
Idea 1 - the simple method: Forget the "add hyperlink" part. Just paste the address into your email message by hand. It comes out as a hyperlink (though it does not appear so when you are crafting the message) and does not create the problem you are having.
Idea 2 - the prettier method: Use "add hyperlink" but do some editing first. When you paste the hyperlink into the box you must replace each "%20" with a space. The link will be displayed in your email message as you would like it to appear - with spaces instead of %20's - but the underlying link will have the %20's. I can't guarantee it will come out pretty with every email program and every preference setting someone might use but any good program should get it right.

Strangeness on iWeb Pages When Published

I have multiple pages in iWeb that are all the same look but different text content. All the menus are the same. The colors are the same. I will only be changing text and the page name. So, I create the page the way I want and then duplicate the pages. I publish it to make sure all the links work but to my amazement, some of the page look right but many of the pages are different. I should add that I am not using the built in navigation menus--I created my own using text block with hyperlinks because I needed them to look a certain way. The menus are distorted (stretched, size reduced, position shifted), some of the menus (text blocks with hyperlinks) have switched locations/order, the body regions (with graduated fill) are shifted down or even non-existent. I have a set of links in a text block (paragraph is a link) and the text formatting is also changed in different ways on each page (spacing is off, colors are different, link underlining could be on or off).
These are just one page duplicated and the page names changed with all the hyperlinks added.
I did notice that early on in my development, some page names also caused similar problems. If I named a page "About Us", I had similar problems but "About Me" worked, as did "ABOUT US". On some of the pages, the order of stacking (Send to back, Send to front) changed to menus in different ways. I know this sounds strange but this is my experience yesterday/today. I am so confused

Yes, you must use only the basic characters for site and page names. The following gives some info on page naming and characters not to use.
Renaming a website or webpage
You can rename a site or page at any time by double-clicking its name in the site organizer and typing the new name.
The page name appears at the top of the visitor's browser.
The site name is included in the website's address (URL):
http://web.mac.com/your account name/
or
http://web.me.com/your account name/
Renamed pages and sites (as well as the site's URL) change online the next time you publish.
IMPORTANT: If you rename a site, previously created links to your site won't work; be sure to notify your visitors, especially your blog or podcast subscribers.
iWeb now converts spaces in site names to "_". Also avoid non-Roman characters; many get converted to numbers when you publish.
Other characters that aren't recommended for use in website names are: forward and backward slashes (/ \), brackets ([ ]), tilde (~), exclamation point !, question mark (?), "at" sign (@), number sign (#), dollar sign ($), ampersand (&), asterisk (*), colon (:), equal sign (=), comma (,), and single and double quotation marks (' "). Using these characters may result in names with strange numbers in them.
