IWeb possibilities for a News Website

I have recently started an online news website for my local community. I am just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how I could use iWeb to my advantage. Does anyone have any suggestions? Any info that could make the site a great news website would be much appreciated.

I have a news site that might give you ideas I built with iWeb.

  • What is my DNS for my new website setup?

    What is my DNS for my new website setup?
    I am registering my new Domain name with an outside website service (not iWeb). Namecheap.com
    What Mac OS X 10.8.2 DNS do I use for my server setup with thru their business? They have asked me this question. Or do I use their default servers as they suggest?
    Please help. Thank you in advance for your advice.

    It's not entirely clear what you're asking. Are you asking what data you have to provide to your domain registrar? Or are you asking for some configuration data for your machine?
    Are you planning/hoping to use your Mac OS X Server as the authoritative DNS server for your domain? (this is usually a bad idea unless you really know what you're doing).
    If you're setting up the remote domain on your registrar's servers then there's nothing you need to do for your machine. For simplicity's sake you don't need to do any DNS for your domain on your own server - let the service provider do that. If you want to setup your domain internally as well, then I'd recommend disconnecting your public records (hosted by your service provider) from your private ones (running on your own machine) since you will likely want to hide your internal network addresses from the public.

  • Can you please give some feedback for my new website

    Hey guys
    I recently launched a new website. Its of freelance niche.
    http://www.zumzzy.com/
    Brief Intro of the site: Basically here the freelancers can list their services, upload their portfolio, contact details etc.
    And a person looking for such services can directly contact him through the email or IM ids. And the most important point is its FREE for both client and contractor
    Its more of directory nature than a usual freelancing sites where you have to post your project and the freelancer can bid on your project.
    I need some feedback on UI and UI experience of user. Do you think the design is conveying the concept of the site.
    Thanks in advance

    The search menu is over emphasized and the text looks unbalanced.  You should work in a second typeface to make certain elements more interesting or stand out more.  Featured free lancers should be up in the top tier of the layout so smaller browsers do not have to scroll.  "How It Works" is also too big and out of balance.  It is a good start with some rethinking in the overall appearance and concept.  Look at some professional web sites who do similar things like list dentists, lawyers, and doctors.  Think brand and professional corporate identity.  I do not like the hand drawn arrow or clip art.  Work instructions into the sub head under the search box.  Focus on the sketch, not the software.  Get everything laid out either by hand in sketches or an Illustrator template.  Initially, I think the user will find it useful. A little more work on design.

  • Iweb ok for small business website???

    Hi all : ) I have no html experience and was considering paying a pro to make me a website for my business project. Then I heard about Iweb: quick and easy, perfect! I got the program and been messing with it and it is a snap. However, I can't seem to come up with anything that makes me go WOW! Perhaps it due to my lack of creativity, experience, or limitations of the program, I am not sure.
    So my question is do you think Iweb is appropriate for developing a professional looking website, and if so, where could I find some examples of business sites that were produced with Iweb? Or, should I go in another direction?
    Thanks!

    PayPal is a great way to integrate secure payments into an iWeb site. That's the payment method that's used on http://iWebFAQ.com/PayPal. Adding PayPal to your iWeb site requires html file editing of your after Publishing. Fortunately there are many resources that will help you learn to integrate Paypal into your site. http://iWebUserSites.com is a comprehensive list of sites created with iWeb. Search through iWebUserSites.com and see what kind of business techniques/designs are included there.
    Good Luck :^)

  • Iweb - does creating a new site delete the previous site?

    I'm having a meltdown. Had my career website built via iweb some time ago, and tonight, was experimenting with iweb for a new website for another unrelated project. So I created a "new site," never suspecting that it would affect my previous website.
    I wanted to see how the new site looked, so I published, and now my career website seems to have disappeared! Spent weeks building that site! (photos, films, etc.) Does iweb only allow for one website? It had a (slightly) different address when the new site published. But now my career domain name goes to the new unrelated website. The new site was a lark -- REALLY need my career website back up and running. Any way to find/retrieve it?
    Is there no warning? -- if you go create a "new site" and go to publish, and the new site DOES replace the old, is there really no warning???

    scottnmarty wrote:
    How do I get it back (as my iweb site and linked to my career domain site?)
    Try publishing all the pages of your "career" site by clicking on its name in iWeb's left sidebar and choosing File > Publish Entire Site.
    See also this article:
    http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebMultiplewebsites.html
    ...it says: +"When you will publish and upload to the same account entering your url in a browser you will be redirected to the site for which you hit “Publish entire site” last."+

    And is there any way to save what I've done with the new website before I replace it with my old site???
    It will still be accessible at:
    http://web.me.com/[YourMemberName]/[NewWebsiteName]
    But read this:

  • IWeb domain name for new website?

    Hello!
    I am new to iWeb and have created a website and now have questions about publishing it. The site I am creating is a replacement for an existing website that I did not make. I want the domain name to be the same as the existing site (cscfarm.com) and just to replace the old one with mine. Now, I would rather not join mobile me because I don't want the confusing url name and I already have permission to use cscfarm.com. My question is, do I have to get the FTP address from the person that currently runs the website? And if so, since I am using iWeb '08, how/where do I enter the FTP address to publish the website? I know that if I had '09 or higher I could do it through iWeb but I believe '08 is different. Am I going to need professional help for this or should I just get iLife '11 OR is it really not as hard as it seems? Any help/suggestions is appreciated!! Thanks so much!

    Hi There,
    BC does NOT host your domain.
    You will need to keep it with your current Domain Registra or transfer it to another domain registra if you wish to close your account with Weebly. This has nothing to do with BC.
    The EPP code is just a means to veritfy ownership of the domain and ensure such a transfer is approved by the owner of the domain.
    In terms of BC all you do in the domain manager is to point all traffic or just web traffic to BC depending on your requirements/use of email etc.

  • Making a new website for another user

    Hi all,
    How can I make a completely new website for someone else without publishing my own pages to a map? Do I just delete my pages from the published material or does my index page go beserk when I do that?
    Thanks for your input!

    By MMe I'm referring to a MobileMe account thru Apple. As I recall that's normal for iWeb 2 when you have multiple sites in one domain file. If you're running the latest iWeb 2, 2.0.4, you can split the sites into two domain files. That way you can open, edit and publish only the site you want.
    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 jthen only republish the one I want.

  • I've just finished building a new website with iWeb, I want to build a new site, how can I save the details from the first site?

    Hi There.
    I've been building a new website with iWeb. Its now complete, but I will need to keep all the detasils involved as I make amendments from time to time. Now I want to start a new site on a completely different subject. But every time I go to start the new site, it just seems to be 'papering' over the details of the old one. How can I begin a completely new site without overwriting the details of the previous site, and where do I save the original site details to for easy access.
    Thanks,
    Gerbles

    To create a new site in the same domain file use the File ➙ New File menu option.

  • My new iWeb won't recognize my website, gives error message

    UPDATE: After more reading, I found the only ".sites" file I have on my computer (Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2), and opened it in iWeb, which prompted me to choose a background for my site as if I were creating a site.  It looks like I'm missing this .sites file for the website I already made.
    Is there a way to recreate this .sites file?  Does it exist on my remote server?
    Thanks for your help.
    Old news:
    I upgraded to Snow Leopard, and my friend installed it for me.  He made a backup of all my files, but may not have used Time Machine.
    Now iWeb won't recognize the website I created in iWeb.  My website's folder appears in my directory under "Sites", and all files appear to be there.
    When I open iWeb, it says "Can't open file "~/Sites/[mywebsitename]/assets.http:--www.mywebsitename.com.plist" then immediately closes.

    If you're trying to open one of your published site files then that's why you're getting that message.  iWeb can't read html files.
    Is the size of the Domain.sites2 file large indicating it contains your site and its components. A new domain file with just 1 page will be around  200 KB.  If the size of the file indicates that it is your domain file
    Try the following:
    close iWeb.
    delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    reboot.
    launch iWeb and try again.
    If that doesn't help continue with:
    move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
    launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
    go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
    move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
    launch iWeb and try again.
    If you can't find a backup copy of the Domain.sites2 file that existed before the installation of SL you'll have to recreate your site from scratch.  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 recreation of the site.

  • I am trying to edit my website which was composed in iweb. I have my website saved on my hard drive. When I open iweb, I can't seem to load the website folder into iweb for editing purposes. Anyone know a quick solution to this?

    I am trying to edit my website which, was composed on iweb about 2 years ago. I have the website stored on my hard drive. When I open iweb, I can't figure out how to load the website into iweb for editing purposes. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

    You need to migrate to a modern, supported webpage development application and leave iWeb behind.  It hasn't been supported for 2 years now and was behind the curve feature wise when it was dropped by Apple.
    One app that many have migrated to because it is very similar to iWeb in the GUI and features is Everweb.  It has a demo version that you can try.  Text and photos from you current published site can be copied and pasted into Everweb to help the migration over.
    There are other possible candidates.  Just search the iWeb forum for "iWeb alternative" or "iWeb replacement" to get a list of topics discussing them.

  • Why am I getting an access denied message for the fox news website?

    All of a sudden I am getting an "access denied to this server" message when I try to go to the Fox News website.  What's up with that?

    I can tell you what's up with that. If this is the website you are trying to access, it works fine for me.
    http://www.foxnews.com/
    Check this Settings>Safari>Accept Cookies>From visited. Make sure that it checked.
    If it is and you still can't access the site - clear Safari.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Cache. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

    It's a really bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it. (Even though I've now noticed you mis-spelled it! - anyway, never post your address in a forum.)
    You have a site here: http://virginiagordon.com/www.virginiagordon.com/WELCOME.html
    If that's not the page you are having trouble with, what is that page's URL?
