Iweb,fetch,existing web site

Hi and thanks in advance! I currently have a web site dianabeads.com, which I edit and update through parallel desk top and windows xp and front page. I am trying to figure out how to do it with iweb and fetch so I can get windows off of my mac, I have played with setting up a page in iweb, so easy have opened fetch and viewed my current web site, but when I go to "put" on fetch i cant find where the file (new page) is that I want to transfer. I can be reached at [email protected] thanks again. Tom Bunten

The main reason for not publishing direct from iWeb would be that a lot of people want to optimize and/or add tags.
The three applications that I use for this - WSM, WebCrusher and iWeb SEO tool will all upload to an iDisk with one click to save you the extra steps for drag and drop.
However, if you want to optimize and retain the iWeb features like hit counter, comments etc, you have to publish to MobileMe first anyway. If this is the case, I would agree that there is every good reason for publish direct from iWeb.
If you follow this thread ...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1743049&start=15&tstart=0
.... you will see how Old Toad's brilliant and perceptive mind has opened the door to successfully achieving the seemingly impossible task of optimizing and retaining these features.

Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the creation of the new site with iWeb.

I am running 10.6.8 and using iweb for my web site. After several SEO analysis they all indicate I need H1-6 header tags. After looking at the source code I see there are none in iweb. Is it necessary to add? If so, how do I add H Tags to iweb.

I am running 10.6.8 and using iweb for my web site. After several SEO analysis they all indicate I need H1-6 header tags. After looking at the source code I see there are none in iweb. Are they necessary to add? Why would one add these tags and how do I add H Tags to iweb? And are there examples to look at? I am slowly learning about simple web design and assumed that iweb was stand alone without having to write code. Is this one of the reasons iweb is no longer supported? Thanks for looking at this!

A simple text page like this:
Heading
    sub heading
          text paragraph ....
Is traditionally represented by html tags like:
<h1>Heading</h1>
     <h2>sub heading</h2>
          <p>text paragraph ... </p>
I would guess that the use of h1-h6 tags helps search engines to understand the structure of a page as the tags imply a certain structure.
This can be compared to more generic tags like <div> that could represent any kind of content - and may be what iWeb uses (you'll have to check yourself).
I would generally recommend that you use some kind of up to date blog/site building tool, perhaps Wordpress or Squarespace (I haven't used either one myself) that support current web technologies - this should reduce your SEO issues and make it easier to properly support mobile/tablet users.

Migration of an existing web site to Web Page Composer

Hello,
I am investigating the options and the feasibility of the migration of an existing web site to a Web Page Composer (WPC) site. The web resources of the site can easily be copied to KM and used afterwards in WPC containers. However, they can neither be integrated to the WPC site navigation nor edited through the WPC UI. For example, only WPC Web Page or Web Sites can be WPC navigation nodes.
Has anyone ever done or tried such a migration? Do you know where I could find a description (or the javadocs) of the WPC API? Any suggestions or hints will be much appreciated.
Thank you
Youlian Dimitrov

Hi Youlian.
If I understand correctly you have rebuilt only a few hundreds of the old pages using WPC forms. Did you do this manually or you have found a way of migrating them programmatically?
Yes, we did it manually for a two reasons:
1. short timetable;
2. 20 intranet sites with variety of used technologies and tools, styles, navigation structures.
Did you leave the rest of the pages as HTML (non-WPC) files?
Yes. But we imported them into KM.
Does it mean that you have implemented only part of the navigation structure through the WPC/portal navigation?
Yes and no.
Firstly, in our case it would be a bad idea to bring all legacy, sometimes cluttered, navigation structure to a new platform as is.
Secondly, keeping in mind that in a common scenario portal already has own top level navigation you should carefully decide how deep is your site navigation structure will be.
Finally, migration it is a good time for information architecture redesign based on standards and guidelines.
Assuming that you have adjusted properly the links to all resources, have you encountered any particular navigation or display issues following this approach?
I could remember two limitations concerning a navigation:
1. you should avoiding links to navigation nodes inside non-wpc html files, because in this case a target page opens without DLN;
2. first linked non-wpc html page, which placed outside wpc container, should be opened in new window.
As for design, all our display issues caused by inline styles within source html files.
Did you notice any noticeable performance degradation after the migration?
We didn't have any degradation of performance. However, it is highly individual and depends on your portal infrastructure.
Best regards,
Aliaksandr Zhukau

COPYING/TRANSFER EXISTING WEB SITE

I am a NOVICE to Dreamweaver CS3 (I am computer literate). We

Actually, it is a zip file; it's zipped using a utility
called gzip.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gzip
A tarball is a (compressed or uncompressed) archive crated
with a utility
called 'tar' (from Tape ARchive)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tar_(file_format)
Most Unices come with utilities to create and extract both
tar files and
gzips. I believe that OS X also has those utilities. For
Windows, there
are a number of versions of GNU utilities compiled for
Windows.

Creating an NEW version of an existing web site

I thought i was being smart, so i selected my existing fully operational web site in iWeb and then changed the Site Name and Published it to a local folder (different to the original site).
This is OK I can make changes to this new site, BUT how do i get back to the original operational site? which I intend to upgrade for a while before the new site is uploaded to the www
I cannot find anyway to open an existing site.??

John

Unfortunately, iWeb cannot open published sites. If you are going to be working on multiple versions of a website I would suggest splitting your domain file you can end up with something like this:
Though, only one site can be open in iWeb at a time

Using iWeb '09 when web site was built in iWeb'08

I built my web site on iWeb '08 and made frequent changes using Yummy. Last month I upgraded to iWeb '09 and attempted to change the Newsletter page (one of the five pages). The content of the Newsletter page upgraded but I lost my navigation ability at the top of the page. All the other pages have the ability to navigate between each other, but all I have on the Newsletter page is a black dot in the left corner.
The site is www.windsorseniormensgc.com
I'm afraid to upgrade the rest of the pages for fear of losing the navigation ability for the whole site. Can anyone assist me here?

This usually means you haven't uploaded the feed.xml file. In your case it's probably because the one on the server needs to be updated.
To reassure yourself that everything will be OK, publish your entire site to a local folder and launch it in the browser direct from your hard disk by double clicking the index.html file.
If all is well, republish the whole site and the new feed.xml should sort out the navigation issue.

IWeb 09 and web site on MobileMe...

Hi !
I hope that somebody will be able to tell me how to resolve this issue...
I did reinstall from scratch my MacBookPro and install iLife '11. I didn't use Time Machine to restore backups but choose to reinstall all the softwares that I have. All my documents backup are on my iDisk on MobileMe.
I did publish a web site with iWeb' 09 at www.marcmartineau.com .
Now, it's time to update this site. There is NO WAy I can open this site with iWeb'11 as it asks me all the time to create a new site or a new page.
Do you know how I can open my old published site with iWeb'11 ?
I just hope that I'm clear with my question... As english is not my native language...
THanks everybody for your help !
Marc

Firstly, it is still iWeb 09 that you are using - it is iLife 11, but iWeb was not updated so it is still 09 that you are using.
You did make a backup of your site if you have a published site. iWeb will not be able to open a site that has already been published as it has no import facility for html.
If you don't have a backup of your domain.sites files found under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites, then there is nothing you can do except re-build your site from scratch.
Remember the importance of backing up your domain.sites file next time.

IWeb not updating web site.

iWeb started out working okay. I kept a blog and updated it. Then I went on a trip. Even though I had wireless internet the whole time, updating kept failing. No error message, but the update clock would stop after being about one-quarter filled. When I came home, there was no difference.
Although this started months ago (before the whole .Mac to MobileMe changeover), I do believe my recent inability to update my web site is related to it. The reason is that although I can access the last updated version of my web site at "web.me.com/myaccountname", when I go to my current iDisk and open the "sites" folder, it's empty!
Is it possible that my account has not yet been changed over to MobileMe yet? I have already installed all OS updates, including the MobileMe update. My account logs in fine.
Any ideas?????

Hey maybe you need to replace only the page that was updated, do not change all the published site, try I just did it and it work I have change a page and a file to be downloaded from the web site, now I can see the changes live on the web. this is what I wrote to others.
Hey I have found not a solution but a way to publish without iWeb, Just did it and I have seen the changes on the web site. If you guys want to try:
I have published my updated web site to a folder on my desktop. then open iDisk from the web (where my web sites files are stored for everyone else to see) then open both windows side by side and only replace the files of the updated pages from the desktop folder to the iDisk folder, there is always a file and a folder with the same name. I just replace them, I then checked on the web and Woalah! changes were made. Well... it did work for now without iWeb, not sure if is the right thing to do but if you are brave enough to follow this go ahead and go to bed as I will until the bug is fixed (hopefully tomorrow) then we can go back to normal. Hope is clear and it help! Rog

How to open an existing web site?

Hello,
Hoping someone can help me here. I have a web site that I have made using iWeb. When I upgraded to Lion I had MAJOR issues that ended up in a new hard drive and logic board. :-( I restored my documents from time machine. Now I want to update my web site, but whenever I open iWeb it wants me to create a new web site! There is NO open command. How do I get iWeb to open my exsisting web site so I can edit it? I tried to double click my index file, but it opened in Firefox...
Thanks in advance
Eric Yerington

The Domain file, or Domain.sites2 to give it its full title, is what you need to open your site(s) in iWeb.
Lion doesn't want to open this file for some reason.
Download the app referred to on this page under "iWeb and Lion" and launch it to get this window...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/iWeb-Tips.html
... and click the "Choose Domain.." button to browse to the file and open it in iWeb.

Editing existing web-sites

Hi,
Can iWeb edit web-sites that have been created with another application, and if so, how?
Thanks, Tristan
G4 PowerBook Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the response; I was afraid I was overlooking something simple. I did try dragging site folders and files onto the application, and iWeb did not "activate", consistent with what you wrote. ...Dang!
Cheers, Tristan
P.S.: Tom, I believe you did answer my question, but I'll wait a couple of days just in case somebody chimes in with an unexpected twist.

Simple explanation of what is happening with iWeb and Mobile Me. Can anyone explain this simply and if our existing web site can be hosted elsewhere, if so can it still be updated using iWeb. Any advice very welcome

We have a website that has run successfully using iWeb and Mobile me. We understand Mobile Me is being discontinued from June. From this forum it seems iWeb also is not being supported any more. So can the existing site be hosted successfully with another provider or is it best to start again. If so any advice on options would be very welcome;
Thanks
PB

For the most part if you just get a new webhost you can continue to run with iWeb. Since you are still running Tiger iWeb should work just fine for you. You will simply need to publish your website to a folder or with the built in FTP in iWeb. Apple has simply quit updating iWeb & there will come a day when iWeb quits working in the later OS's whatever kitty comes after Lion.
Here's a link to who I use for Hosting:

Adapt existing web site with fluid grid layout

Hi everyone,
I'm wondering if I could take a exisiting website and using Dreamweaver CS6 (which I don't owned at the moment) "easily" create associated fluid layout for tablets and smartphones.
Or do I have to start a new website "from scratch" to get the fluid layout?
I'm just beginning with website creation (only 2 at the moment) and I tried out Dreamweaver 5.5 at the beginning of 2012... since I didn't find any other tools that could do the job like I feel Dreamweaver can, I'm in the process of convincing myself I should buy Dreamweaver CS6.... I won't hesitate much longer if I could take a existing website and be able to easily adapt it to fluid layout.
Thanks for your help
Sebastien

You would have to start over with a whole new Layout. Once you get that designed, then you would need to insert content. There is no magic button for converting existing sites to Fluid Grid Layouts because it's more complicated (3 CSS layouts instead of one).
In addition, Fluid Grid is a new feature in CS6 that still needs some refinement. In order to build responsive designs that work in all devices, you must understand the technology.

Updating an existing web site.

A web page developer created a site for our small business. He would like for me to to be able to enter the site in order to change photos, pricing information, and add new products. He is not familiar with Mac's and cannot help me with this.
What software do I need in order to do this?
Thanks for any suggestions.

You need to find out from your web developer just what they did. You need to find out what software they used to create the site, what kind of server is required to run the site, and where said server is located and how to access it.
I am a little afraid that if they can't help you update the site from a Mac, they may have done it all in proprietary Microsoft .NET stuff and that means that you will have to either: 1) hire a new web developer to re-do it using a LAMP (Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP) architecture, 2) buy a PC and learn Visual Studio .NET, or 3) hire that web developer to maintain the site for you.
Why do you think web developers like .NET?
