Iweb site - text formatting cv

I've copied and pasted my cv onto a blank iweb template, reformatting, spacing everything in columns using tabs (it's an actors cv and i need several bits of information on one line) but when i publish and visit the site all the line spacing is out of whack, and half of it is off the page completely.
Is there a better iweb template to format a cv on? Do i need to create separate columns/text boxes for the information?
How can i ensure that the page will look essentially the same, regardless of people opening it in other browsers too?
thanks in advance

How did you use tabs in iweb? If you mean you used tabs in a word processing package then they don't translate to iweb. You can save a Word or Pages document as PDF and put that on your page as a graphic. As I did here

  • My iWeb site - video format not supported on iPhone

    So, I have a video on my site, done in iWeb,(opens in the iPhone Safari browser), its a,Quicktime FastStart movie - my iPhone won't play it. How is it that an Apple product won't play an Apple format movie on an Apple mobile browser?
    I understand the iPhone does not support Flash - so how does it play YouTube clips?
    I have uploaded QT or .mov files into my iPhone to the iPod part of the phone- so what gives?

    Those YouTube clips playing on an iPhone are in the H.264 format. YouTube is in the process of encoding videos on the site as the H.264 format so they can all be viewable on the iPhone and AppleTV in higher video quality. They're adding more of these encoded videos each week until their full library is available in the H.264 format. ...Info taken from here.

  • IWeb sites are slow to upload. text columns turn to heavy png files

    Hi!
    Yes I've noticed that iweb sites for some odd reason are slower to load on any browser. No matter what the hosting is. I use Me.com for a few years and iWeb as I don't have the time or patience to bother with Dreamweaver. I use Me.com for hosting as well as another web hosting server. If there is graphic material on the page, it takes so long to open. Apple must do something about it for sure.
    The program iWeb itself doesn't open up fast enough if you have more than 3 pages on it (which any normal site would have). I'm glad Apple made good changes in iWeb09, but it needs to do something about the speed of the program, the sites it makes and how it processes simple matter on it.
    Even though, I have come across some good examples of iWeb made sites that are easy and relatively faster to open or they open at a normal speed. The authors also have used flash material on their iWeb sites. I have a non-registered program (web site Maestro) that claims to ease up and streamline the graphic and other heavy content on a iWeb site to make it lighter with loading.
    But the unregistered version works on 70 percent files only. And I don't really notice any difference with it either. So I'm doubtful of buying the full version.
    Any thoughts? Solutions? Would really appreciate.
    ANOTHER ISSUE that I have discovered while making iWeb site is that a text column put on a shape after publishing turns into a heavy PNG picture file that can weight almost upto 1 whole megabyte!!!
    And you keep wondering why the darn page is so slow to open!!! Cuz a simple text could've been just about 50kb. But it turns into a 900kb picture in png!!! Is there a way to change this?? I guess, taking out the picture from the published site folder and reediting it in - say - Photoshop reducing its size may help. But its so cumbersome and arduous to go into every darn folder and open all the text now converted into pics and re-edit them!! And then their reduced quality will make the text look feeble and bad quality too.
    This is a problem that APPLE iWEB experts Must work on. iWeb gives a certain flexibility as its like a free flowing canvas. But then its also a known fact that iWeb sites are exceptionally heavier to open, unless you know many other tweaks here and there to make it work right. But again, this is contrary to the purpose of iWeb, cuz its made for amateur site makers.
    I wish there is a work around this thing really.
    ANY SUGGESTIONS FRIENDS?? WOULD LOVE TO HEAR. PLEASE SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS AND SOLUTIONS.
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Nitesh

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Shapes by their very nature are graphic elements that end up a png file whether there's text in them or not. You should try adding the text in a text box above the shape and see if there's any difference. Just be sure to use a Web Safe Font and not add any enhancements that will turn it into a image file:
    Click to view full size
    You may not notice a difference with loading with WSM but those with Internet Explorer should. Have you tested your site with and without WSM on a PC?
    In WSM you can set the amount of optimizing for graphics. I've set it at about 60% (moderate) and haven't tested other settings for image quality. I'm sure a lower quality level, i.e. more compression, will have a impact on file loading. I just don't have a feel for the greatest amount of compression that will still have acceptable image quality. You'll just have to experiment.
    If your site is a commercial site then using a commercial hosting server is the best option. Also, it's reported that using a Text Based Navbar instead of iWeb's java based one will help dark side compatibility.
    Be sure to put in feature requests for the improvements that you see necessary to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html.

  • How do I fix the problems with text formating functions in hotmail and other text based sites?

    In a Mailing list provider site it disables the text formating functions, instead only showing a 'loading' message. The functions never appear. In Hotmail the scroll arrows on the right hand side does not work. Sometimes the email toolbar becomes 'grey' and the buttons do not work. When forwarding an email sometimes the email does not show in the new email message.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Firefox was reinstalled March 2010.

    The only possible fix was turning the phone off immediately and burying it in a bag of dry rice for a week at least. That might...just might...have worked.  But you're way beyond that and I see no fixes.  In fact the phone is probably going to get more problems before finally gving up the ghost.  Continued use is just shorting out more and more of the circuitry.  For that reason I don't think repair is much of an option. Go to an Apple Store and buy an out-of-warranty replacement.

  • I have just uploaded my iWeb site to a FTP host and most of the site is ok however a lot of the text has gone very strange!  How can i get it to publish the same as I designed it?  Thanks in advance....

    Please help!  I have just uploaded my iweb site to a FTP Host and most of the site is ok however a lot of the text has gone wrong!  Many thanks...

    Maybe you could let me know which hosting service you are using so that I can add them to my list of those NOT recommended for iWeb users!
    I just dealt with one today who claimed the iWeb sites were incompatible and that the first line of code should be deleted from every HTML file before upload to their server.
    They didn't even offer the information that it would be a lot easier to modify the .htaccess file never mind offer to do it for a customer.
    Nobody should expect to pay for service like this and the answer is to dump them and go to a company that gives you some value and support for your money. If the ones on this page don't meet your requirements for cost and service...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html
    ... search this forum for those recommended by other users. There's a long list of them.

  • Published iWeb site the hyperlinks formatting

    When I view my published iWeb site the hyperlinks do not all have the same formatting as they did in iWeb. How can I resolve this?

    Hello, I am using iWeb 3.0.4 (601). I publish the website to my local machine (from iWeb) so I can send it off to someone more technical to publish to the internet and manage all of the 'optimisation' etc. This is where I am seeing it is not as it looks within iWeb. Can I 'send' it to you somehow? Thanks for your response.

  • IWeb changed site text to image

    As I began to work on SEO for an iWeb site, I discovered that most of the text had been changed to image. I was told that this meant that search engines will not be able to read the text. Is that true? If so, what's the fix? Searching for the site on Mac or PC; IE, Safari, or Foxfire, the site downloads and looks good.

    One the Process page make sure the text box is in front of the background image jpeg. The Concept page is configured similarly and the text box didn't get converted. Check for any differences between those two pages and text boxes and, as Wyodor suggested, made sure there are no enhancements to the text or text box.
    On the Assessments page I can only click and drag the background image from one edge. On the other pages I can click and drag anywhere on the image.
    How did you apply that image to the page background, via the Inspector/Page/Layout pane? If you added it manually to each page try using the Page Layout pane and see if that will make a difference.
    Many of the text boxes, like on the Outcomes page, have a lot of blank space above the text and thru overlaps the jpg background image. You can remove that empty space, make the box smaller and position it below the image. That might do it. This seems to be the case with most of the text boxes. The concept page seems to be the exception in this case.

  • 5 users to contribute content from window based PC's to iWeb site

    I would like to create a website in iWeb '09 which will require multiple users to contribute/publish content, but the other site collaborators do not have Macs, just Windows-based PCs.

    Welcome to the discussions. Even if your five users all had Macs running the same version of iWeb, it would still be difficult for them to contribute content — because iWeb's site data is stored in a Domain file on a Mac. This Domain file would need to be exchanged around the users for updating — which is not very practical for Mac users and impossible for PC users.
    Instead of using iWeb, I suggest using a web-based design app accessible from PCs and Macs. Some of these apps have specific features for sharing whilst others may be sharable by giving out the single username/password to the other users. But this could be problematic if there's only a single email address associated with the username.
    This first one is specifically designed for sharing:
    Backpack
    Google Sites claims to make creating and sharing a group website easy:
    Google Sites
    This one focusses upon "social networking":
    Ning
    ...With Ning you can add tabs and sub-tabs to specific pages and external links via the Tab Manager feature. Mouse-over the menu items at this Ning site:
    http://www.openwineconsortium.org
    And their tab manager:
    http://blog.ning.com/2008/08/a-new-tab-manager-early-next-week.html
    Other web-based design apps are:
    SnapPages
    Yola
    Viviti
    Jimdo
    Weebly
    Sampa
    Wix
    If a sharable blog format is acceptable, you could hyperlink from your iWeb site is to a free Posterous blog. Posterous has "dead simple group blogging by email" where each of your three possible blogs can now have multiple contributers — see more here.
    General info about Posterous blogs is in their FAQ. ...Group members can contribute text, photos, sound and video files, etc. to a Posterous blog simply by email. Plus there is the usual commenting capability plus comment alerts for the account holder.

  • Much more PNG files in iWeb site and make it slowly

    I found that iWeb will change some text into PNG files, it cause anyone can not copy the text from my page, and make the page size bigger and slowly.
    And then, I don't know when iWeb will change text into PNG, when it will not. Sometimes when I write some words in the page, and publish, I can see the words are in text format, but when I continue adding words in it and publish again, I found that all the words has been changed into PNG.
    So, when a page loading in Safari, I can see much more image files in my page, but not text+image same as a normal web page.
    All that make the site loading very slowly. I don't like that if iWeb look like this.

    Instead of creating a hyperlink and then choose a file, put the pdf(s) on the server yourself first.
    Create a separate folder for them.
    Then determine the URL(s) to the file(s).
    In iWeb add a hyperlink *to an external page*. Use one of the URLs to the pdfs.
    Now you can update the pdf without iWeb.

  • Posting downloadable content on iWeb site?

    I'd like to be able to post files on an iWeb created site which clients can download to inspect/approve or use. I'd also like for them to be able to upload files to me through this site. The files would be photoshop files, full-rez video, small wmv & quicktime files, text files, etc.
    Are there any options for this sort of function which can be seamlessly incorporated into an iWeb site? I've been using a public .mac "Homepage" to get files to clients in the past, but it's an ugly looking page that way, and would not look like the rest of the site I want to build. Any ideas on how to do this?
    A link to a mock-up of the site home page layout is below, FWIW. The pics will eventually be replaced by stills from/links to pages with video examples. I know the fonts look awful on the pages that are linked to. That's been fixed but not uploaded. This is only a rough cut...
    http://web.mac.com/coreytree/iWeb/Corey%20Petree/Home%202.html
    You may notice a "client login" link at the bottom, but I may be dreaming to have such a thing from iWeb.
    Thanks in advance,
    Corey

    You can set up a blog page and enable the commenting system. People can then post attachments/files to the comments. This is one way to do it.
    Another way you can achieve this without involving your website is to enable read/write access to your iDisk/Public/ folder. You can do this in the System Preferences/.Mac pane. Then you would be able to access the public folder...both downloading and uploading using the following URL format...
    http://idisk.mac.com/username-Public
    username = your own .Mac username
    And make sure that you capitalize the "P" in Public
    Try it out. I think this might work out the best for you.

  • IWeb Site Won't Authenticate. .htaccess not working.

    Ok... I have searched for a solution and I just can't find one. I am publishing my iWeb site to my sites folder and serving them from my local computer. I am trying to password protect the site. I have enabled the .htaccess in both the httpd.conf and user.conf file. I have set up a .htaccess and .htpasswd file and have them in the main sites folder directory within my user folder. I can't get the site to authenticate. It just goes to the site. I have saved the files through textedit as plain text documents. Here is the .htaccess info.
    AuthUserFile /Users/username/Sites/.htpasswd
    AuthGroupFile /dev/null
    AuthName "Password Protected Area"
    AuthType Basic
    <limit GET POST>
    require valid-user
    </limit>
    Any ideas. I am totally pulling my hair out here. Nothing seems to work. I have searched online and here and just can't find a solution... Thanks in advance for any help or guidance.

    Elden...
    Just wanted to let you know. I fanally got it to work. It was my .htaccess file. I was creating it in text edit and converting the file to plain text and then saving it. I guess this is not a format that it should have been in.
    So I googled about creating a .htaccess file and found instructions on how to use pico in terminal to create a file. And that worked.
    I have read though that I should be able to create .htaccess files in text edit. Do you have any idea what I was doing wrong or how I am supposed to do it correctly in text edit? Just curious for educational sake.
    Thanks again, your help sent me in good directions.

  • IWeb-How can viewers export/capture photos from my iweb sites?

    I am working with iweb 08 and created a website for fellow classmates to view old grade and High school pictures with names and want them to be able to export or capture copies of any photograph from my iWeb site for their own use. I want them to have a good quality photo that can be in a size from 5 x 7 to 8 x 10 inches like the originals.
    How can they get copies of photos off my iWeb site??

    Hello Newbe here
    Have been playing with iWeb and I believe that it can do what I want it to - however, I have been struggling yo get it to play ball.
    I have a load of large images in my idisk-Public folder, however this is a bit cumbersome to navigate and does not offer the user a preview of the image. What I was hoping to do was to create a small website in iWeb and then place some thumbnails on the pages (with some text etc) and then links to the actual files on the iDisk/Public folder. For information there is about 2GB of files (many of which are 300dpi large PSD files at between 25-50MB each). As such, it would be impossible to embed them in the website and, I don't really want to have to upload all 2BG back to iDisk again in order to get links in the iWeb directory to work.
    I was hoping that I could use the hyperlink to a file - but this does not seem to work and it just seems to embed the file into the website. If I go to iDisk/Public and try and point the hyperlink at a specific file - then it seems that everything in the public folder has the same web address (I have a number of sub-folders in the Public directory).
    So just for total clarity - what I am trying to do is generate a website in iWeb, place a small JPG or PNG file (thumbnail) and then provide a number of links to a source file either as part of the thumbnail image or with some text next to the image (where the file is available in a number of formats - e.g. PSD, EPS, TIF, etc).
    I hope that this makes sense and that someone out there knows how to solve this issue and is kind enough to point me in the right direction - before I pull all of my hair out.
    Thanks in anticipation.......

  • Content managing iWeb sites... a simple solution i have found!

    Hi guys,
    if this has already been posted here then throw me to the lions but i have recently been getting increasingly frustrated by not ebing able to adjust my iweb site online - i know there has been a lot of talk on here about this scenario so i have been doing some digging!
    I can now content manage my iWeb sites! - i can only manage what content is already there and add to it within the framework that i have created - as in it wont create new pages for example, but i can even change the images.
    A little internet site called CushyCMS helped me do this!
    www.cushycms.com
    Basically its free for use! but you have to go in and edit the html of the published to a folder site - it is a little triky but once the tags are in there and its uploaded its really simple and Cushy works out from the tags wherether it is text or images, it even can do the java script.
    Sometimes the formatting doesnt work quite as planned so i tend to only use it for minor text and image changes.
    I fully content manage my iweb sites now like this one: www.see-nc.co.uk
    i just thought i would pass this on!

    Hi jenster 81,
    Thank you for posting, it might help some people. But I want to point out that what you have (nice looking site by the way) is not what most people want to edit from other locations. Most people want to be able to edit or add to their blog. And that cannot be done with cushy if comments from iweb are on. It could possibly be done if using icomment. I have not tried it so I don't know, but I thought I would post the warning in case someone tries it and looses all their comments.

  • IWeb sites can't be found by Google

    This can't be real: No iWeb site can be found by Google bots.
    Apple offers an app for people who are NOT html-savvy (everyone else would use a different, more professional app) - and if they want their sites to be found by Google or any other search engine, they have to find (and pay) a web designer.
    Not only that no meta tags are added. All main text is turned into something else, a picture format maybe, I don't know, but I can't select those texts in Safari any more - they aren't text any more. Thus, Google can't find the titles, main texts and picture subtitles either.
    Or have I missed something withing the related threads here?
    Thanks a lot for a clarification
    Peter

    Peter,
    Glad you figured out the text-to-png problem. The real text should definitely help once Google's spiders crawl your site. I think the real answer is that it just takes time. When you add pages or blog entries or whatever, try to use what might be more unique keywords in your titles or phrases that might make your webpage more visible in search results. Once I did an experiment on my own blog and used "Paris Hilton" in the entry. It took about a week, but sure enough depending on your search terms, my little page shot up to number one out of about 1.6 million sites. Lasted probably for about 3 weeks that way. Pretty funny.
    So I guess what I am trying to say is that ALL of the search engines will eventually find your site (even with all of iWeb's crazy URLs). The real quest if you care about these things (sounds like you do) is how to get your pages closer to the top of the heap when it does get noticed. That is where you have more control...page titles and text and also unique links to your pages from other sites. Start "optimizing" your pages now and it will pay off later.

    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.
