Iweb site organizer

I posted my blog yesterday and today i have run into a problem. My entries are no longer showing in the site organizer, so I have no way to continue posting.

Do you see another little triangle to the left of the word "Blog" in your site organizer? When you drop it down it should show the word "Entries" underneath it.
Other ideas....the little space that usually lists all your blog entries, that space is adjustable...you can drag it open or almost closed using the little dot that you see on the bottom border of that partition.

  • .Mac "Start Site" not the top site in iWeb site organizer

    My first iWeb site I created is for my family stuff. Mildly personal.
    My next one will be more friends/work.
    But, when I test out the iweb help entry that says the top site in the site organizer is/will be the start site, it does not hold true when I publish them.
    The help says:
    Your start site is the one that opens when you type this URL (address) into a browser (don't type the brackets):
    http://web.mac.com/[YourMemberName]
    To change your start site:
    Drag the site you want to be the start site so that it appears first in the site organizer.
    But, after I publish, the start site is still the old start site. Is this a timing/web cache issue? Or, bug? Or, how can one fix this?

    It could be a cache issue, but I think this is less likely. Never hurts to emtpy your browser cache though. I have seen one other person who's sites are stuck like this. Couldn't tell you why. She is stuck using the long URLs to specify each site. Maybe this is a bug in iWeb. I don't know.
    But here are some things you could try...switch the order of your sites again in the Site Organizer, publish, switch them back and republish. Or you might try a "Publish ALL to .Mac".
    The object here is to get iWeb to generate new index.html files that redirect to your choice of a start page. For a little background, if you look in your iDisk inside the Web folder. There is a folder called Sites. Inside Sites, there is a folder called iWeb. Inside the iWeb folder you will see the first of two redirection index.html files. This first one is what allows the short URL to work...
    http://web.mac.com/yourname/
    Now if you open up the site folder inside the iWeb folder, you will see another index.html file among all the other files there. This is the second index.html file that redirects to the same start page as the first. This allows the "long" URL to be used...
    http://web.mac.com/yourname/iWeb/sitefolder/
    I have seen situations where either one of these index.html files have not been generated or altered to reflect changes in the Site Organizer...usually the outer index.html file inside the iWeb folder. So anything that you can do to make iWeb publish new files should work....changing the order of your sites, erasing the files from your iDisk and republishing, changing the names of your sites, doing a Publish ALL. Try these things and see if your problem isn't resolved...

  • IWeb changes in site organizer

    I have just created a website. I am brand new at this and am of course learning as I go. I finally figured out that I can change the site organizer so that my pages have titles instead of Photo/photo 1/etc. When i change the names it changes in the site organizer but only some of them change on the actual site.
    How can I correct this?
    Thanks!
    France

    You have to manually change the titles on the actual
    pages, changing it in the site organizer does not do
    anything to the page.
    Really? I change my page names in the site Organizer all the time and they are reflected in the page titles immediately in iWeb. I can see this happening on my pages that are in the navigation menu....the name changes in the nav menu just as soon as I hit return after changing the name in the site organizer. I thought this was the normal behavior.

  • How to edit the same iWeb site on 2 different Macs?

    How can I edit the same iWeb site on 2 different Macs? I know we create a folder with the files, but when copying that to Mac2, iWeb on Mac2 doesn't see that folder - I can't see what the linkage is between the app's interface and the folder of site files....

    The answer is Domain.sites (extension hidden by default). You'll find this on the Mac you used to create the site at Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/iWeb. Copy that file to removable media and drag it to the same location on the other Mac. Launch iWeb and you'll see the site structure in the Site Organizer.
    Once you keep the Domain package in sync between the two machines everything will work smoothly no matter which you use. There's a neat tip here which may help in this respect, but you use whatever strategy you prefer:

  • How can I publish iWeb site in root directory in place of a prior site?

    Hi there... I have created a family web site and published it to my .mac account. The problem is that I had previously published another site and that site remains in the 'root' directory of my account. Practically, this means that if anyone types in:
    web.mac.com/[username]
    ... they will get my old site instead of the site i wish them to see... Is there any way I can move my new site so that typing the more simplified 'root' address (above) will bring up the site I wish for them to view?

    Do you have both sites in iWeb together? If so, then simply look in the Site Organizer, select the site that you want to come up by the short URL and drag it to the top of the organizer. iWeb will make whatever site is at the top of the Site Organizer the default site. You should probably do a "Publish ALL to .Mac" after doing this so that all the files are in the right place. So once you do this you can access the default site with the short URL http://web.mac.com/yourname and then you can access the second site by using its URL directly... http://web.mac.com/yourname/iWeb/sitetwoname You could also provide links from site one to site two and vice versa to "link" the two sites together.

  • Working one iWeb site from two Macs

    I have two Macs, and use my desktop for working at home, and my laptop for working away, or when on holiday for working with photographs and, hopefully, blogs. I set up my iWeb site initially using the desktop, and then tried to edit the site using my laptop, only to find that it cannot, seemingly, be done.
    Help! Does anyone know how to edit one iWeb site from two machines, or is there, perhaps, a practicable workaround?

    The answer is Domain.sites (extension hidden by default). You'll find this on your desktop machine at Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/iWeb. Copy that file to removable media and drag it to the same location on your laptop. Launch iWeb and you'll see your desktop site structure in the Site Organizer.

  • One .Mac account, 2 iWeb Sites, 2 Computers.

    Ok, I know a lot of questions have been asked about how to manage multiple sites, but I can't seem to find any information about 2 people sharing one .Mac account.
    My husband and I share a .Mac account. We each have our own Apple laptops. We each want our own iWeb site.
    Everytime I create a site, it takes over the one that he already created from HIS computer, and vice versa.
    There doesn't seem to be a way for both of us to have our own sites on one account from 2 separate computers. SO FRUSTRATING.
    Any help would be great, and try to leave as much technical jargon out of it. I'm a self-proclaimed idiot when it comes to computers.
    Thanks, everyone.
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Neisha,
    Another way to achieve what mp is talking about is for you and your husband to each create a one page "site" in iWeb and move it to the top of your site organizer. Put links (image or text) on that page to direct those who visit your short url to the correct site. I would recommend that you each have slightly different names for this site and page.
    You can see an example of what I'm talking about http://web.mac.com/hoovmoss/iWeb/" target="_blank">here.
    If you plan on building additional sites and splitting the domain files on one or more of the laptops to do it, though, you are probably better off using the method that mp suggested above.
    I've been keeping a sites index "site" at the top of each domain file (I have one for each site on the index page), but I'm beginning to find that inconvenient, as I plan on adding at least one more site. Someday soon I'll create a domain file containing only a sites index and then manually replace the index.html file in my idisk as necessary to keep the site index linked to my short url.
    If this is more confusing than helpful, let me know and I'll see if I can be a little clearer.

  • Moving iweb site to my new computer?

    I just bought a new macbook pro. I am attempting to move my iweb domain to the macbook. I backed up the domain on my old computer (imacG5) to my idisk. I burned all the files onto a dvd. I want to move these files (five sites) into the domain file on my macbook pro. I am sitting here like a moron looking at the files; I've read th e posts that say to copy my domain to the new computer, but my domain is a big package of files and I am not sure how to "copy" them so they will open on my new computer.
    Thanks for any help!
    John Fitz

    The Domain file should appear as a single file (though it is a "package" of files like you mention). Copying it to your new MacBookPro should be as easy as drag and drop. I would put it into the same default location as you found it...on your hard drive..../Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/iWeb/... Drop it in this folder and if you are asked to overwrite and existing Domain file, this should be okay as long as you have not already started a new site on your new MacBook Pro.
    Once you have this file copied over, you should be able to open iWeb on the new computer and see all your sites in the Site Organizer. Again, so that there is no confusion, the file that you need is called "Domain". Let me know if you have any trouble.

  • Sharing file to a certain iWeb site

    When I select share it sends the file to the first site in iWeb . How can I tell it to send to a particalular site?

  • My iWeb site can no longer be found by browsers

    I have had an iWeb site which has been live for about a month. It has been working perfectly. I have updated several times without any issue. It still appears to be working well within iWeb. I can make changes and publish changes.
    I have my own domain name hosted on mobileme
    When I now search the internet using any browser, it says
    Can't open the page http://www.dhsem.com.au/ because the server where this page is located isn't responding.
    I have checked my .mac account and everything seems to be fully functional. Why has my site suddenly disappeared off the internet?
    I have tried removing the com.apple.iWeb.plist file from Library/Preferences, rebooting the computer, republishing the entire site, all to no avail.
    The site is still sitting in iDisk/Web/Sites.
    Everything looks normal from the iWeb side of things. For some reason, no browser can find the server (The IP address of the server is: 118.215.20.59)
    Would appreciate any help

    You don't need to get your domain name registrar to do this - you should easily be able to do it yourself.
    Firstly, ensure that your domain name is entered into the Personal Domain name setting of your MobileMe account.
    Go to your domain name registrar and then set up CNAME forwarding if they provide this and forward your domain name to web.me.com - this is all you need do - you don't need to fiddle with nameservers or anything else like that.
    If they don't provide CNAME forwarding then you can use web forwarding instead.

  • How do i add a personal domain to my iWeb site?

    I created a website using iWeb and logged on to mobile me to activate the personal domain I bought. It's asking me to:
    Add Personal Domain
    Before your iWeb site can be viewed at your personal domain, you must complete the following steps:
    Go to your registrar's website. Define web.me.com as the "www" CNAME (alias) for your domain.
    If you need help creating a CNAME, contact your registrar.
    Return to this page and click Done.
    Your registrar can take up to 48 hours to update your domain.
    Can someone explain where or who my registrat is? I bought my domain through GoDaddy.com. Are they my registrar?

    I had a drive failure and lost the iWeb file along with other things. 
    I did manage to save a lot of user file documents but I don't see or 
    recognize the iWeb site file. It was on a 15" G4 Titanium pb.
    I'm trying to find a way, using version 2.0.4 of iWeb on a different 
    pb to recover the file into the iWeb app or a way to download the site into iWeb.
    There are 6 pages of images and text, and it 
    would be a task for me to recreate the whole thing again. I did 
    download the site but I don't know how or if I can get iWeb to see it and open it.
    Does anyone have any knowledge about this? The link to my site:

    Unfortunately iWeb cannot read or import previously published files, only generate them.  You'll have to recreate your site from scratch.
    However, 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.

  • How do I stop my iWeb site folder name from showing in the URL?

    I have looked through the forum but cannot find exactly what I need.
    I am sure there is a way to stop this from happening but I do not want my iWeb site name to show in the URL. Anyone else had this problem that can spread some light on the situation?
    Here is how it is showing:
    www.ilovehopetown.com/ILove_Hope_Town/The_Ultimate_Guide_To_HopeTown.html
    I want to to just be www.ilovehopetown.com and then the page name.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    What happens if I leave Site name blank?
    Try it and see.
    If you are using iWeb 09, the right forum to ask things in is here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1309
    Two options you could try are naming your site the same as the default folder used by your sever (e.g. public_http or whatever) or forwarding www.myname.com to www.myname.com/sitename

  • How do I upload iWeb-site without using 'Flie Publish' feature?

    Due to corporate firewall restrictions I cannot use iDisk, Sync or iWeb to connect to .mac, which presented a problem when I wanted to Publish my iWeb site.
    I have uploaded the site [via webdav, with Transmit] to the Sites folder of my iDisk, but I can't find my site when I enter my .mac URL into my browser (http://web.mac.com/myusername or http://homepage.mac.com/myusername).
    Theoretically, is this the right way to upload to iDisk without using iWeb? Is there anything else I need to do to link my URL to the files in iDisk/Sites?
    Thanks in advance, Lee.

    but just get the 'we can't find the HomePage you've requested' 404 error.
    BTW I've used Transmit to upload to my iDisk in the past, such as files and photos with no problems. I assumed there would be no trouble with iWeb's files...
