Iweb RSS feed problem

I just posted my first site with iWeb and on my home page I want to use the RSS widget to display spinets from my blog page on the same site. I have published the site to my FTP host and now the site is live. (www.thezumbacrew.com) Now that it is live, I thought I could find the RSS feed of my blog and add it to my home page RSS widget and republish. Not the case. When I go back into to iWeb to add the RSS feed it says "The feed source cannot be reached, Try again later."
I know the RSS feed from my blog works because it shows up fine in Google Reader.
Any ideas?

You have an & symbol in the URL which may be causing the problem as it is replaced by %26 by the browser....
feed://www.thezumbacrew.com/TheZumba_Crew/News_%26Events/rss.xml
Special symbols are a NO in URLS in general. Try using "News-and-Events" as hyphens are more easily seen in URLs that are underscored.

How to use iweb rss feed in an iphone web app?

So this is my dilemma. I wanted my iweb turned into a web app using the rss feed.
This is simply done cause of the "Add To Homescreen" feature.
While the RSS feed works beautifully on safari... it does not read as a webapp.
This surprised me cause I thought it would still be safari that would be loading my web app.
I tried everything to get my RSS feed to work in a web app but i failed miserably.
Is there a fix for this?

Adding to the homescreen doesn't make it a webapp.
It creates a shortcut to the webpage, just as dragging a url to the desktop creates a .webloc file.
You want an iWeb "webapp"?
Add this page to the homescreen and then click that icon :
http://www.wyodor.net/_Demo/Fancy/Dynamic_Text.html
Then click the links in the dynamic textboxes.
I leave it to you to figure out how it's done. Hint : read the documentation.
To summarize : you want a fix for a problem that does not exist.

Iweb rss feed not working

I published my website (www.nigelreblochon.com) to a folder, then uploaded (using cyberduck) to my webhost. For it to work properly there, I had to remove all items from the folder iWeb created for my site (lets call the folder nigel). The site works fine except for the fact that the podcast feed no longer works because the files needed are no longer in the "nigel" folder. What to do, I would give up the rss feed if there is no other solution. Any help would be apreciated.

well, i didi that. only problem is the index.html
that was sent with the iweb folder was for my .mac
site instead of the nigel site (since iweb always
publishes EVERYTHING! instead of just something.)
If you have multiple sites inside iWeb, then to have the index.html refer to the nigel site, just make sure that the nigel site is at the top of the list in the site organizer when you publish to your local drive.
am
i right in assuming that setting up a new user
"nigel" and working on iweb from there would rectify
my problem.?
Yes, as long as nigel is at the top of the list of your sites (or the only site of course) inside iWeb when you publish. You could make it the only site by putting a copy of your Domain file in the appropriate place in the new account and opening iweb and deleting the other sites.

Mail RSS Feed Problem

Hello, I've got a problem with my RSS feeds in Mail and it's driving me nuts. I had a number of feeds which were all working properly and suddenly my craigslist feeds stopped. All previous and new feeds still work but the craigslist feeds give me the error "There was an error updating the RSS feed “santabarbara.craigslist.org” - The requested URL was not found on this server."
I thought it might be a problem with craigslist but their feed works fine in my Firefox Live Bookmarks. It only appears to not be working in Mail. It was around the time of the 10.6.4 update but I can't be certain. I'm thinking it could be some sort of cache issue for just that site but don't know how to check.
One of the feeds is http://santabarbara.craigslist.org/med/index.rss
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Rob

When you say you tried Safari & Firefox to read feeds from CraigsList, do you mean just loading the RSS URL's (e.g. http://santabarbara.craigslist.org/med/index.rss ) into the browser directly? For myself, CraigsList RSS feeds don't load in Safari 5 either but it does seem to work via Firefox 3.6.3. I bet this might have been the WebKit (Safari 5) update that broke something.
And yes, my CraigsList RSS feeds broke in Apple Mail too (which is what brought me here). I filed a Radar bug ( rdar://problem/8161076 ) to alert Apple internal people.

IWeb RSS FEED UPDATE

Could anyone - actually preferably Apple - please solve the RSS Feed Widget error I'm having in iWeb?
The site is on [www.xantopia.net], now [V011].
As you can see, I've made a blog with iWeb. On other pages from that site, I'm referring to the blog through a RSS Feed Widget [also from iWeb]. I'm correctly referring to the web address as you can see. e.g. "feed://www.xantopia.net/V011/Blog/rss.xml".
I'm randomly duplicating entries in that feed, but the feed is not updating at all. Well, it sometimes does..and sometimes don't!
I've tried everything. I can only guess he's keeping some cache from old RSS feeds and as such redisplay what once was...
The very basic functionality I'd like to have is to [RESET] the feed, so whatever I'm doing with my entries, the feed gets updated to what really is in there.
Thanks so much for helping me out.

The method for transferring iTunes to another feed is described here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
However as this involves adding a tag to the feed you cannot do it in iWeb itself. You could do it this way:
Download your feed and open it in TextEdit in PLAIN TEXT MODE, not Rich Text which is often the default.
Add the tag as described in my page.
Re-upload the feed using an FTP program. Do not subsequently make any amendments in iWeb for two weeks.
Alternatively email Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com and ask them to move it (give them the URL of your Store page and both feed URLs) - there's no guarantee they will but they have done for some people.

Iweb rss feed stopped working

About a week ago all of my RSS feeds made through the RSS iWeb Widget stopped working. Some research brought me here: SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier 'any' (anonymous function) www.icloud.com:1
Is Apple not supporting it anymore? That would be a disaster
Message was edited by: Idiot Media

Well yes, the fact that Apple has not supported iWeb for the last 3 years is old news!! Apple has not sold or supported iWeb for at least 3 years and iWeb has not been updated for at least 6 years.
The longer you continue to use iWeb and technology moves forward, the more likely you are to get things that don't work as expected.
Perhaps it is now time to ditch iWeb in favour of alternative software that is actually supported?
There is a lot out there - RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express, WebAcappella 4, Flux V and EverWeb.
With most of these you can try before you buy.

IWeb RSS Feed

I am having issues with my RSS feed since I have forwarded and masked my domain name to my iWeb url. I tried to upload the feed to iTunes and had an error. I downloaded Feeder to generate a feed for me but have no idea where I should put this feed once it's been created to have it reflect on my site. Has anyone done this before?

OTN RSS feed problem

I am having trouble with OTN's RSS feed. The URL given for individual items cannot be recognized. For example, for the item "Download Openworld 2003 presentation...", the URL given is "blank/ow2003/". My RSS reader fails to recognize the URL. I suspect that the URL given should be in full form instead of relative form.

Robert...we are aware of this problem and are working to have it resolved ASAP.

IWeb, RSS Feed, iStore

Hi All, I am starting a series of educational videocasts. If I join .mac and post the videos on a website using iWeb, will i be able to generate an RSS link to then post then on the iStore.
I already have a blog page, could i generate an RSS from this also and how ?
Thanks

Yes that should all be possible.
You can make RSS feeds of your web pages there is an option to turn it on on the web page settings in iWeb.
You can also submit your podcasts to the iTunes Store, pointing to the link on your web site.

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 RSS feeds

I have an iWeb blog that allows subscription through RSS. I've found that the RSS feed mixes up the photos and the blog entries (so the photo from one entry will end up being associated with a different entry). Sometimes the pictures are repeated, and sometimes the picture associated with a particular entry will change, apparently at random. Is there any way I can fix this?
The blog home page:
http://web.me.com/dooleyclan/Site_2/Blog/Blog.html
The RSS feed:
feed://web.me.com/dooleyclan/Site_2/Blog/rss.xml

The only solution I have found this evening is to make a minor change to easy blog entry - then re-publish it all. Even if it's just a removal and replacement of a single character/letter, this has worked for some. I am still looking for a better answer, though.

Podcasting with iWeb- RSS FEED TITLE?!?!!?!?

Alright, I put my podcast together using Audacity for the most part but used the new Garage Band to fix it up and add an introduction. Then I exported it in to iWeb from Garage Band to publish it to the web. You can see it for yourself at podcast.notsam.com. Now, for some reason when one hits subscribe to podcast from the site it appears with the RSS feed URL as the title. For this same reason iTunes won't accept it as the "Feed doesn't have a title." Am I missing something here. Obviously I created a title for it, and it does have one before I upload. Any help? Thanks

iWeb appears to name the RSS feed from the title text that appears on the picture frame at the top of your initial weblog page. This defaults to "My Blog" - hence your RSS feed gets this name.
I've managed to fix it in mine - http://web.mac.com/karen.hughes/iWeb/Curlypaws/Curlypaws%20Blog/Curlypaws%20Blog .html - note how the title on the picture (not the page title) is "Curlypaws Blog" and if you subscribe to the RSS feed, that is what it will be called. Not very intuitive - it puzzled me until I read the earlier post in here from jayeaster and then played around with my own site.

IWeb RSS feed will not load with any site.

I am trying to display an simple RSS feed on my website and what ever site l use, BBC, France24, ABC, FOX News etc... whenever l copy and paste the RSS link in the widget and click apply. I am shown the message "The RSS feed source can't be reached. Try again."
Here is an example of how i'm inputing the RSS link:
feed://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/uk/rss.xml
feed://www.france24.com/en/france/rss/
Your help is much appreciated. Thanks

If the widget does not work, search for alternatives.

Found this one : http://feed.mikle.com/
Paste the RSS link without feed:// and configure the result.

Re-Uploading RSS feed problem

Hi
I uploaded our RSS feed (from podomatic) to itunes and it was all working OK but our picture wasn't showing up so I deleted the podcast from itunes. I uploaded the mix again to podomatic with the picture all working ok, got our RSS feed and have now tried to upload it again to itunes. I uploaded it over a week ago and there is still no email from ituns about it being published. I have tried a few times from 2 different itunes account and still no word from itunes about them receiving it.
I am new to podcasting so if anyone could help me it would be much appreciated!
Cheers

Hi,
This might be because the SAP Portal might be behind firewall. Ask your security person not to block this URL. You have to set the proxy settings to view this URL in the portal

Solved RSS feed problem

My Rss feed stopped working in the last 30 days. I checked the mail preferences, RSS, reader. It was set to Safari, not mail. I checked mail. Closed the program and reopened. When reopened the RSS feeds were there in my mailbox! I did not change to Safari, I'm thinking a software update changed the default to Safari?

Try fixing up the validation issues...

Not promising it will help, but it's worth a shot.
