Iweb keywords vs. old metatags

I just got my personal domain working. In the process I lost my place in google search. Since iweb doesn't use tags, how can I get my web site to show up again? I did put in a lot of key words in my copy, but my .com doesn't even show up in a google search.

Many suggest using Google, http://www.google.com/addurl/, instead of adding metatags. However, you can add metatags to your published site using the freeware iWeb SEO Tool 1.0.1.
More info on using Google can be had here: http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWeb_Google.html

Making iweb pages in old MacBook accessible in new MacBook

How can I move the data from my iWeb in my old computer to the new one so that I can access it and change it?

On your old laptop...
Locate the iWeb "Domain" file in the following folder path: .../Users/username/Library/Application Support/iWeb/...
On your new laptop...
Launch iWeb once and quit. Then transfer the Domain file from the old laptop to the same folder pathway on the new laptop. You can replace the blank Domain file that is present on the new laptop with the one you are transferring over.

I have a web site built by Yahoo Web Site Builder which does not have a Mac version, is there any compatability between Iweb and the old Yahoo program?

I have a web site built by Yahoo Web Site Builder which does not have a Mac version, is there any compatability between Iweb and the old Yahoo program? If not how do I clear off the old site so as to re publish with Iweb.

iWeb cannot import published files so you would need rebuild the site.
Yahoo hosting is notoriously poor and their tech support is awful. I would suggest you look for new hosting and start afresh. Some pointers for choosing hosting...

If you do choose to go this route, transfer your domain name registration away from Yahoo to your new host.

Moving Iweb files from old hard drive to new laptop

Hi, just replaced my old Powerbook with a new MacBook Pro and I have been sent my old hard drive and fit it in to an enclosure to let me have access to my old pics, music etc but I am struggling to find the iweb files for my websites
I know they were there before it went in for a screen repair and everything else looks ok so just wondered if I am looking in the wrong place
Any help much appreciated
Tony

The primary file you need to move is named Domain.sites (iWeb 2) or Domain.sites2 (iWeb 3). it's locted in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. Copy that to the same folder on your new MBP.
However:
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
Once you make the libraries visible you can easily find the file you need and move it into the new library. If you have problems opening the domain file for the first time try the following:
To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Transfer iweb site from old mac to new mac

I was wondering if anyone knows how to transfer my iweb site from my old mac to a new one. I'm still using both computers.
Thank you for your help.

transfer the "domain" file located in your user library/application support/Iweb.
That contains the entire site.
Also one should always maintain a backup of the file. If it's lost your back to square one.

Adding Keywords to old pics

If I import old folders of say a certain vacation and add keywords, how to do I get the keywords attached to the old pictures. I can understand how it works when I moving pics from the camera to the PC via LR where I import save and add keywords all in one step but do I have to export of what to get the new keywords assigned to the old pictures?
Thanks
RR

I have kind of the same question as RR if I understand him correct, to specify: I have syncronised my two HDs, on my stationary PC and the external HD used with my laptop. I am a relatively new user of LR, and was planning to do much of the keyword work to already existing pictures on my laptop, more practicable to place and time. Then I was planning to import those new keyword to the existing pictures on my stationary PC, my master catalog.
While trying to do so, using the "import from catalog" command (from the external HD), and then "import metadata and settings only" (while beeing in the master catalog) nothing is happening. The keywords that allready exist in the list will not connect to the pictures I had chosen in the external catalog, and new kewords is imported but not connected either. Hope this made sense! Am I overlooking something or is this the way to do it?

How do I get iWeb Keywords recognised on Google searches?

I have completed my website on iWeb 08 - NOT hosted via MobileMe. If I search for various related products via Google, on a Windows machine, my site doesn't appear unless I enter my business name.
I am informed that I need to get my Keywords recognised by Google.
How do I do this?

Possible? Recreate my original Homepage pages into iWeb but retain old URL?

I have Tiger in the box and still have to install it.
I just bought iLife '06 today and will install it after installing Tiger.
I already have a .Mac homepage up — created with Homepage Manager.
I am thinking now that I would like to recreate that original homepage but do it with iWeb.
How do I end up with my original homepage pages all re-done into iWeb templates but retain my original .Mac homepage URL? All my friends know that URL. Could someone please explain?
— Lorna in Southern California

Well really it's not OR but AND. If you want to do away with your old >homepage-style pages and send people to your iWeb pages via the old URL, >then you must put the redirect on the old pages.
Or you could leave the old pages up but add a link that says "Here's my new homepage..." or something like that...
Hi... I see you live in Florida — and hope you are not in any of the traditional hurricane paths!
I think that I want to start copying/recreating my Homepage pages into iWeb pages and accept that I will have a new URL someday in the near future (because I intend to do the copying as fast as I can and not stop). I can send a notice out and change a few other things. However, I have questions for that interim time when I am working on the iWeb pages but not finished with them.
While I am working on iWeb pages, I am given a new URL, right? And thus, I would at that point have two URLs with .Mac. Is that possible? As I see it, the first URL would be the one I have now, which is the address of my present .Mac Homepage Manager Homepage. And the second URL, wouldn't it be the URL of the iWeb pages? That's possible???
I understand the concept of having a redirect page from my original Homepage ultimatly to the new iWeb page, but is it an automatic redirect or one which the viewer can activate if he wants to? I would not want a redirect page to quickly, blindly switch a visitor from the old Homepage to the new iWeb pages which are incomplete.
I don't understand the mechanics of URLs. I don't know what a Redirect Page looks like or how it works and I don't see how I could be working on my new iWeb pages with its new iWeb URL, all the while leaving my present Homepage alone, viewable by visitors with ITS OWN URL.
[several minutes passed]
And now that I have sat here and thought for several minutes, it seems that the easiest thing to do would be to have no redirect page for a while. All that I ask in that case is: Is it possible to do that? Is it possible to have my old/present Homepage viewable while I am working on my iWeb pages?
I think I just solved one of my questions all by myself. If I begin to work on iWeb I will be given a new URL — an iWeb URL. Thus technically, when I Edit and Publish in iWeb, technically, people could view those pages, but chances are they will not if I don't announce the new iWeb URL to them. OK. I see......
I am asking all of this now because I am the type that needs to envision and understand a project from start to finish before I start. I do not like surprises — and cyber surprises have the ability to unsettle me.
Could someone please realign my erratic thoughts? Are my goals possible? Can I have my present .Mac Homepage Manager Homepage viewable and visitable while working away on copying them to my new iWeb site? (I bought iLife '06 yesterday and will install it and Tiger today. Tiger first and iWeb'06 second, as instructed.)

IWeb keeps my old website no matter what

I have a website published via mobileme. It lives only on one computer. I have completely redone the website but when you search for it on Google, you can click on one of the search options & the old website comes up in its entirety. That's wrong! I did no renaming - I only recorded over the old pages with new ones but kept everything the same in the settings, etc. I don't get it. All the info is wrong on the old one but anyone can access it!
(Snow Leopard, latest version of iWeb)
Help!

Okay, so what you actually need to understand is that iWeb has nothing to do with this - you just used iWeb to create the site and no, it does not just live on one computer - you said that you published your site to MobileMe so published is the optimum word here.
When you created your new site, did you keep the site name the same, did you keep all the page names the same? If so, then when you published this site, it should have replaced your old site on MobileMe.
If you are having problems with this, then you can always log into your MobileMe account under System Preferences on your Mac and go directly to your iDisk where you site is actually published and delete that site from your Web/Sites folder there.
Go back into iWeb and re-publish your new site and if your old site has been deleted and your new site then has all the same page names and the same site name you should not have a problem.
If Google has indexed one site and you have published a new one, then it takes time for the spiders to crawl and index a new site - this does not happen overnight - you have to be patient.

IWeb reverts to old page version

Each time I open iWeb one of the pages continues to revert to a previously saved version.
The page edits, updates and published correctly to my harddrive. I can open the published version and it works perfectly.
It even appears to save the current version in iWeb before I quit the program.
However each time I do quit and reopen iWeb this particular page still reverts to an old version.
I've tried deleting the the iWeb Cache & iWeb preferences. Even restarted machine and run the reapir disk utility.
None of which has helped.
Can anyone shed some light to what might be the issue?
Thank you.

Help with iweb.. opening old site on new computer

I made a iweb website on my old computer, i transfered files to my new computer's hardrive but it wont open in iweb. all saved as files html and opens the page on the web. how do i get the new version of iweb to recognize these files so i can make edits?

The short answer is that you don't and you can't. You have actually saved the wrong files, because iWeb has no import facility, so is unable to open html files at all.
The files that will have been saved and which you need to transfer are the domain.sites files and these can be found under your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. Ensure that you do look in your User/Library and NOT your System Library, because iWeb is not there.
Find your domain.sites files and transfer these to your new Mac and then double click on the files to open them.
Have a look at other discussions for instructions on how to make your User Library file visible in both Lion and Mountain Lion.

IWeb 08 Corrupts old web sites

Just another warning to you folks out there. iWeb corrupts web sites big time. Here's my steps:
1. I have a web site that was (notice I said WAS) 177 MB. I opened it with iWeb 08 and clicked upgrade. Saved it.
2. I then opened it and flipped through the various pages and it was o.k.
Modified the size of an image at the top of my main BLOG page. Hit save again.
3. Reloaded the site, and flipped through the pages and two of them had MISSING FILES (images related to the theme (yes, it was an Apple theme), missing graphics I had added to the page, etc.)
I can easily reproduce this by restoring my backup or using another site file, so it is definitely a HIGH FREQUENCY problem.
Hope this helps you all in the trenches! Hope all addresses this REALLY SOON!

for movies I now upload my movies to google video on private setting, I then embed the code in the same way you would embed a google map or You Tube clip.
It seems to work better than importing the video into iweb

How to create iWEB site from OLD iWEB site? (Hosted)

Okay, so the domain is corrupt.
I have the site hosted and downloaded it via FTP, wondering two things, well one really, is there a way to rebuild the site since I have all the folders, assets, html pages, and images? If so, how?
I suppose I can rebuild it page by page but want to change the theme and since I have the folders, was wondering if there was a way I can take the downloaded pages and somehow drag them to iWEB or some other MAC WEB program.
Please advise, also, any other cool programs for iWEB or web design similar to Pulp Motion, Banner Zest, and how to make a site use flash without flash?
Am also curious what else there is out there so the site doesn't look so iWeb and have the ability to change the fonts on say, WELCOME< ABOUT, HOME, and also use flash.
Have used dream weaver, not to inspiring albeit the standard.
Thanks

If you decide to rebuild with iWeb Chapter 2.3 of this iWeb FAQ site has tips on using some of the published files in the reconstruction of the site.
