IWeb RSS size

I am currently hosting a blog using iWeb and MobileMe, but I would also like to import my blog into a few social networks. On the social networks I don't want to show the whole blog, but only a piece of it, so that when people want to read it all they need to click through to my site.
Is there a way to limit the amount of content that is put through the RSS feed, so that it will only display part of the blog?

Hey,
Try selecting the RSS text (to do this, double click the RSS feed widget, then double click the text inside the feed you you want to change), then press Command-T, and select a different font size.

  • IWeb RSS Widget Clone for non RSS?

    I love the iWeb RSS Widget for displaying information. Does anyone know how to clone it so that you can use it with your own content that is not an RSS feed. I would love to repurpose it for use to display paragraphs of info on my site, without having to have it say loading and load the fake rss feed.
    Thanks!

    I think it's impossible. But you can display your own content in an RSS feed, it's easy to create your own RSS feed with a text editor : http://www.make-rss-feeds.com/making-an-rss-feed.htm .
    And if you find it too complicated, you can use a software like [Feeder|http://reinventedsoftware.com/feeder>.

  • IWeb Image Size

    Hello Apple Friends,
    What's the easiest way to get iWeb images down to a reasonable size? The PNGs are just too big as they're created automatically. Is there a setting I can adjust somewhere? I hope I don't have to go in and manually shrink each image file with Photoshop of something.
    Thanks for your help,
    Steve

    Well for your already published images, you might want to take a look at PNG Crusher: http://www.amake.us/software/pngcrusher/
    You are supposed to use this directly on your published files, so just be aware of that.
    Going forward with your new pages and what not, the best thing to do would be to minimize the opportunities for iWeb to convert your jpg images to png. You do this by avoiding resizing the image inside iWeb (either smaller or bigger) and avoiding the special effects like drop shadows, rotation, reflections, frames, etc. At the very least, use iPhoto to size your photos down from their original full resolution size. Know that standard iWeb pages are only 700px wide, so that is as big as you need. For slideshows, iWeb would size everything to 800x600, so keep that in mind.

  • IWeb "Original Size" download option? -- Not Even Close!

    Unless I'm doing something very wrong -- which I sincerely hope is the case -- then iWeb's photo prefs are guilty of seriously false advertising.
    I'm trying to create a "My Albums" page, such that the photos in the various albums it indexes can be downloaded FULL SIZE (in the same way that full res images can be downloaded from a MobileMe Gallery, provided the "Allow Downloading of Actual Size Images" option was selected when the Gallery was published).
    So in iWeb, I made sure to deselect the "Optimize Images on Import" General Prefs option, before dragging in Aperture Projects and Albums from the Media Browser's Photos tab to create the new iWeb albums, and then made sure to select "Original (Full Quality)" as the Photo Sharing option for each album page in the Inspector’s Photos tab.
    After publishing to my MobileMe account, I then visited the new site and did some test downloading, only to find that even with the above settings, the images which downloaded to my hard drive were still a much smaller pixel size than the originals. After a couple more tests, it appears the largest size download I can get from a picture in an iWeb photo album is 1280 pixels in either direction, whereas from a MobileMe Gallery I get the same pixel dimension as the original (so long as that aforementioned "Allow Downloading of Actual Size Images" option was selected).
    So what's the deal here? Does iWeb have yet another "Don't shrink-it-just-leave-it-alone" option vis-a-vis photos and their downloadability which I missed?
    Or does this "Original (Full Quality)" Photo Download Size option nevertheless impose a 1280-pixel upper limit? And if so, then WHY? I'm a big boy, I can decide how much of my allotted account space I want taken up with non-Optimized photos -- at least I SHOULD be able to decide that.
    Any pointers as to how to overcome this arbitrary 1280-pixel download limit would be much appreciated!
    Thanks,

    A website is for viewing stuff online.
    If you want people to be able to download them full size, put them in a folder, ZIP it and create a download link.
    You would be best to create a download page(s) for this as, if you put the download files on the photo page it would take forever to download in the browser.
    Thanks for the note -- though I'm going to respectfully disagree on the basic premise it presents: that a photo viewing site, and a photo sharing/downloading site, cannot co-exist.
    It's a topic I've gone into at length in a new Aperture thread, posted at
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1996786&tstart=0
    In the meantime, having discovered the cause of this mysterious 1280-pixel limitation (see next post, below), I was pleased to see that including "unoptimized" images in my iWeb Photo Pages, and allowing them to be downloaded at their full pixel size, did NOT in fact slow down the actual loading or displaying of those same pages -- at least not to any appreciable degree. Which makes sense, since what iWeb is presenting to the end user are its own thumbs and individual previews -- regardless of what size downloads I've enabled in my photo sharing settings for that page. So the individual images display just as quickly.
    The only thing that does take a little longer of course is when I initially publish or update my iWeb pages, and the larger, unoptimized images are uploaded to my MobileMe account. Likewise the individual downloading (not the online displaying, just the actual downloading if the user chooses to do so) of selected images -- since a 4MB jpg obviously takes a bit more time to copy to your hard drive than a smaller, 1MB version of the same image.
    But the difference is negligible, and like I say, it doesn't seem to affect the preview-size displaying of the images at all, only the full-size downloading. And since my particular "audience" (the people for whom I'm creating these pages) are typically each only downloading a small handful of individual pics selected from each group of images, that's not a problem.
    So the answer to my question:
    ...can iWeb photo pages be configured to allow downloading of images
    at their full, original pixel size?
    Is in fact: Yes, absolutely -- and with no apparent detriment to how well the images display online.

  • 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 photo size

    Hello,
    I am trying to insert a photo gallery onto an "About Me" page. What I've done so far is to copy a photo album from an Album template, and paste it into the About Me page, then drag and drop the photos into it. The problem with this is A: the photo gallery becomes larger than the page, and is therefore cut off (the page won't change it's size to accommodate for the item) and B: the size of the pictures in the Gallery field are too large to fit in the space I want them to. Is there any way to change to the size of the photos/photo gallery field? and how can I make the webpage adjust it's size to fit everything in?
    Your help and advice is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    There are a lot of applications for resizing photos. I use ImageWell....
    http://xtralean.com/IWOverview.html
    Turn off "Optimize images on import" in iWeb preferences.
    Increase the page width in the Page inspector Layout window.
    A good width for general viewing on the internet is 980 px.

  • 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.

  • IWeb RSS Issues. Help!!!

    Using iWeb 09 I have fed a blog through to a page using the RSS Widget. It shows correctly on the page but on clicking on the entry the address it takes me to isn't correct. Unfortunately it's a passworded site so I can't provide links.
    The Blog is at:  http://www.(mywebsite)/Blog/Blog/Blog/Blog.html
    The Link from the blog entry fed to my web page takes me to:

    I'm a bit new to this but if I take it back one folder it doesn't show in the widget. Any thoughts?

  • IWeb reducing size of photos

    I'm a professional photographer and I've been using iWeb as a proof site for my customers. But lately I've noticed that iWeb is reducing the size of photos I upload. I put up some 4MB files yesterday and they were reduced to 700KB for download, even though slideshow was disabled and ORIGINAL was the download option.
    If you'd like to see the photos (pr shots for a theatre company) they are at
    http://web.mac.com/moristano/WaterTower/DOUBTPRFinals.html
    Many thanks for any help anybody can offer.

    Original means the original width and height. Not the filesize.
    Or do you want to display a 4MB image just to have a look at it in the browser. I would say the image I downloaded looks fine to me.
    If you really want the original original then zip the file(s) in a archives and have these downloaded by your clients.
    This is often asked by your professional co-brethren. Search this forum for [professional photographer|http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?threadID=&q=professional+ photographer&objID=f1193&dateRange=last90days&userID=&numResults=15&rankBy=10001 ].

  • Podcast graphic not showing Iweb rss not the same as Technotes

    I noticed that the graphic for my podcasts are not showing in itunes. Pinged and changed them to 300*300 jpg.and changed name of file and you can get to the file from the url. Week later still no change but text updates ok. Just have the generic file. Also the categories in Iweb are out of date so need to use a find and replace to fix them al the time.
    Anyone else got the same problem?
    http://www.australianmac.com

    iTunes is having a problem at the moment with cover art
    http://discussions.apple.com/ann.jspa?annID=408
    so don't worry too much about that.
    Make sure your rss feed is all ok by going here http://www.feedvalidator.org/
    and putting in your fee which is
    http://web.mac.com/yournameondotmac/iWeb/(yoursitename)/(yoursitename)Podcast/(yoursitename)Podcast.html
    Fill in all the(yoursitename) with your sitename like jeffrobinson.
    Now yours may be different but you can see the path by going to your .mac in the finder and looking in the Web folder, then the sites folder, then the iWeb folder, and there is your site name on the enclosed folder. Remember that any spaces in a name are %20 in the url. Clear as mud eh?
    The other way is to look at your iWeb site in iWeb, find your podcast page on the left and the first main page of your podcast is the rss feed you need to validate so surf to it in safari and copy the url and put it in the validator above. Look at the results and tell me what they are or just send me the url here and Ill have a look for you. OK?

  • Iweb page sizes?

    Why doesnt iweb allow me to change the size of my page. i have gone onto the inspector, clicked on 'layout' and typed in the figures in the 'content height' bar and pressed return but no changes. what has happened?

    You need to turn on "Show Layout"  Shift-Command-L  to see the changes.
    The quick way to lengthen a page is to drop a text box into the content area and drag downwards...

  • Iweb Music Size

    Does any one know if there is a music file size limit? I want to put music on my site like a radio station. I put together some tracks with voice overs in garage band.and exported to itunes. I don't want it to be podcast because this is a private site and I want the music to autoplay when they enter site. When I published site the music didn't start. It is a MPEG4 the size is 71.5 MB is there a way to convert it to a smaller format or do I need to start over a not have so many tracks?
    Please help.
    Mark

    Hi magicmark!
    I would disagree with Roddy re: MPEG4...
    MPEG4 is MPEG4 - it is not Flash or QuickTime - it is an open standard. If your file is in MPEG4 then the user's MIME settings will determine what plug-in handles this format.
    However you can put MPEG4 in a wrapper - such as QuickTime - or Flash; and then your options expand.
    QuickTime offers the progressive download capability (Fast Start). Your file if exported as a QT movie will have a ".mov" extension. If you use this capability wisely it makes no difference how big your file size is - your data rate simply must not exceed your targeted audience's bandwidth. Possibly Flash 10 has the same options.
    So if your data rate is 256 Kb/s (reasonable for 16-bit stereo @ 44.1 KHz, hi quality compression) it will easily "stream" for users with a 384 Kb/s connection.
    You can set "autoplay" in the QT inspector in iWeb.

  • 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.

  • 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.
    Y

    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.
