IWeb, Sprout, Google problem

I created my site using spout and use iWeb's html snippet to publish. When I go to add my site to google I am required to verify ownership in one of two ways. One, by adding a meta-name in the html, or two, by creating a folder designated by google. I'm not able to do either. For the html, I can't figure out how to edit the html in sprout. For the folder, I'm unable to conform to google's requirement: www.mywebsite.com/googlename, because iWeb published the url as www.mywebsite.com/mywebsite/home/googlename.
Can someone give me some direction?
Thank you!

Thank you Wyodor. I'm sorry but I don't see the light yet. I downloaded XML Editor. The instructions start out explaining how to edit the html but I don't know how to get the html in the editor to be able to edit it. File/Open? The file is not local so I don't get it.
As with the file: I understand what google wants, however when I point my browser to http://www.mywebsite.com/google4a3b4c3d4e2f3.html it says file not found. The "root" folder, when I type in www.mywebsite.com the url shows www.mywebsite.com/_/home. It's the "upload the file to www.mywebiste.com" that I don't understand how to do.
FYI - when I "publish" in sproutbuilder it gives me some code to copy/paste. This code is not what I know to be html. I then paste it in the html snippet on iweb.
Here is the actual code from my sprout:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab #version=9,0,0,0" width="960" height="1041" id="spoMACJgnzoIdV5freuX" data="http://farm.sproutbuilder.com/load/MACJgnzoIdV_reuX.swf?v=1265936640"><pa ram name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="align" value="middle" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="quality" value="best" /><param name="flashvars" value="seedPage=true" /><param name="movie" value="http://farm.sproutbuilder.com/load/MACJgnzoIdV_reuX.swf?v=1265936640" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" name="spoMACJgnzoIdV5freuX" src="http://farm.sproutbuilder.com/load/MACJgnzoIdV_reuX.swf?v=1265936640" width="960" height="1041" wmode="transparent" align="middle" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" quality="best" flashvars="seedPage=true"></embed></object>

  • IWeb with Google Chrome Opacity Problem

    Hi, I'm relatively new to iWeb and probabably do not know many features, so.. don't blame me if i do not know what you mean
    In iWeb, I created some text with shadows and line dividers, both with opacity on them:
    and with changing colors when cursor hovers over the links:
    However, after I published it, it appeared like this when using the latest version of Google Chrome on Mac OS X 10.6.8:
    with no opacity on the shadow and line dividers, and no change of color when hovering over the text.
    Also, only the opacity works on Safari, not the color change. Is it due to my browser? or did I just missed out options when publishing? o.O

    The more complex it gets, the less it can be done in iWeb.
    Create your own menus.

  • Iweb Widget Google Maps doesn't work anymore

    Hello, I wanted to update my website and I experienced that teh Widget of Google Maps is not working anymore. You can drag it on the page and then enter an adress. If you choose "apply" it is not working. How can I solve this problem?

    This probably means that you are using iWeb 08 or iWeb 2 and you are correct that this will not run on the latest software, however iWeb 09 or 3 will, so if you want it to work, you will have to purchase iWeb 09, contained in either iLife 11 or iLife 09 via Amazon.
    No, of course you won't find iWeb for sale in the App store because as this thread has been telling you, both it and MobileMe have not existed for at least that last 2 years and Apple withdrew support for iWeb sometime ago along with MobileMe, which has now become iCloud.
    If you want iWeb 09, you will have to purchase it from Amazon - this is the only way that you can get it, but now might be a good time to move on and use some software that is both sold and supported such as EverWeb.  Take a look at it.  It is designed to be like iWeb but you can do a lot more.

  • IWeb, MobileMe, google webmaster difficulties.

    I've been working on a website that is designed to represent a small business I am starting.
    I purchased a domain name and I use my MobileMe account to host it, I subscribed to MobileMe solely for this reason.
    I have made a small site, 12 pages or so, in iWeb and uploaded it to my personal domain name.
    I then subscribed to google webmasters product and subsequently it seems like I have a penalty on my domain which means that google don't index it and it is excluded from searches.
    I have been told that this is something to do with the way iWeb creates sites.
    My sites homepage appears like this www.mydomiain.com/Site/Home.html
    I would like it to simply start at www.mydomain.com
    Firstly, how do I do that?
    Secondly, how should I go about making my site google friendly? I use iWeb SEO app but until I can figure out how to reverse the violation penalty that iWeb has caused iWeb SEO software is not particularly useful.
    I would like to delete all unnecessary iDisk folders, all I want to use it for is hosting my domain name. Which ones can I delete?
    Many thanks.

    MobileMe cannot host your domain name, only your website. There is no reason to delete folders from your iDisk as it won't host your domain name.
    Apple is not a domain name registrar and you can only host your website with them, not your domain name.
    You purchase your domain name from a domain name registrar and they are your domain name hosts - all you do with MobileMe is link your domain name to your iWeb created site hosted on MobileMe.
    You must then proceed to link your domain name to your website, so you must enter your domain name into the personal domain name settings of your MobileMe account and then you must go to your domain name registrar and log in here and set up CNAME forwarding to link your domain name to web.me.com.
    You are still always publishing your site to MobileMe and never directly to your domain name, but you are simply linking the two together.
    As for the site name in your url, this is normal site structure for iWeb and if you are using CNAME forwarding and publishing to MobileMe there is not really a lot that you can do about this.
    As for iWebSEO, this works well and I use this for my own website, but for it to work, you do need to use it post publishing, so you would need to publish your site to a local folder and open the html files using iWebSEO and then adding what you want to and you can then use iWebSEO to upload your site or you can simply drag and drop the files to your iDisk.
    There should be no problem and your site should still be found.

  • 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 on Google

    I have just received my copy of Ilife 06 and now want to create a web site for my music school in the UK.
    If I use a .mac account with the long web address how do I get my web site on the google search engine.
    I have looked at many of the sites made with iweb mentioned on the discussion board and then have tried to find them using key words on Google and none of them seem to appear.
    Can anybody offer me some advice?
    Thanks

    Have you tried testing the position of your pages on Google using ranking software? Just because your page doesn't come up in Google's first few pages of results doesn't mean it isn't there.
    Google uses complicated algorithms to "rank" web pages. It analyzes every page on the web and then decides how important each page is to a particular subject. So, because your page doesn't show up on the first Google results page when I type in "Portsmouth" doesn't mean that Google hasn't indexed the page, but rather than it considers lots of other pages more important or relevant than yours.
    There are many ways that a person can boost their ranking on search engines. One is to get other sites to link to yours using your important keywords in the anchor text. Another is to use html code that validates and is clean. Another is to have text positioned properly in crucial parts of the page such as in the title tags, h1 tags etc. Search engine positioning is almost a science. A whole industry has grown up around it. And the problem is that the rules and algorithms change regularly (Google is getting ready to unleash another algorithm change at around the beginning of March I believe).
    If you're really serious about it you will need to do your own research on the internet or find a couple of good books on the subject.

  • IWeb with Google Analytics

    I spent all morning setting up Google Analytics. Looked at dozens of posts here with loads of misinformation. iWeb 09 does work with Google Analytics. Here's what worked for me. They key was to make sure my URL ended with a /. That is, it didn't work when I pointed to www.testsite.com but it did with www.testsite.com/
    Go to Google Analytics to set up your site and get your code
    (something like this:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
    document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
    </script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    try {
    var pageTracker = gat.getTracker("UA-xxxxx-1");
    pageTracker._trackPageview();
    } catch(err) {}</script>
    Add an HTML snippet (Show Media, click on Widgets). I dragged the HTML widget to the footer (as you drag, the bottom inch illuminates so you know you're in the footer.) Paste in the code you got from Google. Re-size as desired and then post the same HTML snippet into each page in your web. Just click on each page and paste. It will go to the same place on each page.
    Oh, one other odd thing: in the Google Analytics display, the current day is not shown. Click on the date range to choose today and you should see results fairly quickly.

    Hello ruralart,
    After saving the automator workflow as a Finder Plugin,
    mount you iDisk in the finder (ex. click on the iDisk icon in the left pane of a Finder window),
    goto the folder iDisk / Web / Sites , select this folder "sites",
    control-click on the folder to run the “Add Google Analytics” workflow.
    Note : when you have iDisk Sync = ON, you'll see that the folder "web" is an alias so Automator will not work in this situation. You'll have to turn iDisk Sync OFF.
    Kind regards,
    Leo

  • Address book sync google problem

    I tried to sync Contacts of my Google account into the address book.  I follow the steps after clicking the preferences in Address book and type the google account and password info correctly.  I hit the circle icon on the top right menu bar and pull down to select Sync Now.  But nothing appears on the Address book while I could trial sync the contacts to an empty google account.  It seems it is not a synchonization but one-way data transfer.  I read some thread in this community and most of people find this similiar problem.
    Apple Support, what could we do?????????

    On October 18, 2007—with less than 24 hours notice for most users—Apple announced that .Mac synchronization services would change substantially to accommodate Panther users. Here is the text of that notice, which many users apparently did not receive:
    "Dear .Mac member:
    Due to improvements being made to .Mac Sync on October 19, 2007, please note the following changes.
    Mac OS X version 10.4 Tiger users:
    To ensure uninterrupted service, you must be using Mac OS X version 10.4.10. To check which version you’re running, select About This Mac in the Apple menu. If you are not running version 10.4.10, click the Software Update button and install the update to 10.4.10.
    Mac OS X version 10.3 Panther users:
    To accommodate new enhancements, .Mac Sync will no longer support syncing of calendars between a Panther-based Mac and a Mac running Tiger or Leopard. Syncing calendars between Mac computers running Panther is unaffected.
    These changes will help enable .Mac Sync to do more than ever. Thank you for your patience, and thank you for being a .Mac member.
    That was ten days ago, and .Mac synchronization services are still undergoing 'maintenance.' There is not announced date by which stable, familiar service will be restored.
    You can check the main page of .Mac to determine when the amber LED labeled Sync returns to green, or survey the this forum for information about service restoration. You'll see a previously updated status note at the top of the forum change when service is restored.

  • Safari Ver 5.1.10 Fix For The "Old Style" Google Problem...

    @ The mods/ Admins
    I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this but I cannot seem to find the thread where people were discussing the recent problem Google introduced by forcing some versions of Safari to revert back to their old style Google layout and format...
    I was told by a moderator (Zack T.) that I could post my "Fix/ Solution" to this problem here on the site but I can't find the original thread for this. So I am posting the "Fix" here as I'm still getting inundated with emails from people here and from Googles "help" forums asking me for this solution...
    Could you please if possible leave this thread available for those people running Safari Ver 5.1.10 so that they can try for themselves this "Fix" without having to contact me personally over it, or can you (if needed) move this post to the appropriate thread...
    Thank you...
    The following is a "Fix/ Solution" that I have created that solves the problem for users of Safari Ver 5.1.10  that Google introduced recently where they now block older version of Safari from using the "Modern Style" layout and features of Google which they had been used to...
    You can still use the "Modern Style" Google with Safari 5.1.10 via the "Develop/ User Agent/ Other" menu to switch to a "User Agent" that allows you to use the "Modern Google" however, there is no way to make this as the permanent "Default User Agent" in Safari 5.1.10 and it has to be done for each new tab you open and every time you startup Safari... which is not exactly good or helpful...
    That's where this "Fix" solves that for you. This fix will make sure Safari 5.1.10 starts up and uses a custom "User Agent" that allows you to continue to use the "Modern Style" Google and not have to constantly change the "User Agent" via the "Develop" menu...
    It also has the benefit over other methods that are about of using FireFox "User Agents" in that this fix creates a Mac specific "User agent" that means you get the correct pages from whatever it is you are accessing on the internet (The FireFox one causes some changes to graphics and page layout when used on a Mac)...
    As long as you are certain you are using Safari Version 5.1.10 on a Mac running OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) and they are all fully updated as far as they can be then this fix should work for you (it already has for several thousand other Safari 5.1. 10 users whom have tried it)...
    INSTRUCTIONS.... Safari Version 5.1.10 Fix To Restore The "Modern Style" Google...
    IMPORTANT !!! --- MAKE SURE SAFARI ISN"T RUNNING ---
    Download the following DMG which contains the "Fix" for Safari Ver 5.1.10...
    http://www.mediafire.com/download/7wsl4n5siu7cphw/Safari_Ver_5.1.10_Google_Fix.d mg
    When you open the DMG file you will see a window that looks like this...
    IMPORTANT --- MAKE SURE SAFARI ISN"T RUNNING ---
    STEP 1: Double click on the folder called "A" to open it...
    STEP 2: From the new window that opens from folder "A"  find the file called "Safari" and drag
    it to your Desktop screen to make a copy of it (this is both for safekeeping and in case the "fix"
    doesn't work for you so that you can still restore the original file)...
    STEP 3: Drag the file from the downloaded DMG window called "Safari" onto the folder in the
    same window called "A"...
    Now start Safari as you would normally and if the fix has worked you should once again be seeing the
    "Modern" look Google once again. You should copy/ move the original "Safari" file you copied to your
    Desktop screen to a safe place for storage (Downloads or Documents for example) in case you ever
    need or want to restore the original file to Safari at some pint in the future...
    IMPORTANT:- If you're still seeing the old version of Google in Safari after trying this fix then
    unfortunately it hasn't worked for you and you MUST replace/ put back the
    original "Safari" file you copied to your Desktop screen...
    This is simple to do and is achieved by simply dragging the original "Safari"
    file you copied to your Desktop screen onto the "A" folder in the "Safari Fix"
    window...
    Happy Googling - MadFranko008 (2014)

    I followed instructions from Carolyn Smith in another thread (see below) - but Safari did not start anyway. After that I discovered that Safari started when starting from /Program/-folder but not from Docks on the desktop.
    So - throw away the old icon on the desktop and make a new one.

  • IWeb site update problem-app missing images/files, but site is ok

    I created and uploaded a web site to my .mac (yeah, MobileMe) and it displays just fine. I have visited it from a couple of different comps. The problem is that I want to add/update files/pages, but when I open iWeb, several of the images/audio files do not display: shows a x-through and a centered question mark. They are in the sites idisk folder and in the laptop's copy of the files. When I try to replace the missing images/files by dragging onto the iWeb drafting page the following message appears: "the file can't be used because you don't have access privileges, or because it contains no content or was corrupted."
    I'm afraid to make any updates for fear of losing what is already published.
    Extra info: have family pack and am switching between .mac accounts because iWeb published to the iDisk corresponding to the account/sub-account you are logged into (BIG pain in the ***! It should have a password protected account toggle like Panther used). I have double-checked that the files for this site are only in the one iDisk account (am redirecting my masked domain url to the .mac iDisk server-works great.
    Any ideas?

    The upgrade from '06 to '08 which changed the domain.sites to a domain.sites2 caused more confusion, disasters and lost web sites than the bug ridden introduction of '09.
    I ended up rebuilding all my sites from new, blank domain files in '08 and the conversion to '09 went OK apart from '09's nasty habit of changing media file links.
    Fortunately, I have very little QuickTime content and don't use the iWeb Photos, Albums Blog or Podcast templates.
    Most iWeb built sites look pretty awful when users stick to the default page width. I start from a Blank, Black or white page and trash everything on it.
    I use the "standard" 980 px page width and most, if not all, of the iWeb themes do not adapt to this.
    This is why I constantly ask the question. "Do the iWeb developers actually build any websites with the application?".
    Perhaps if they did, we would get more bug free releases and some of the features that "real life" users are requesting.

  • Ipad mini google problems

    For the past two days I have had an issue using google (search bar) on wifi both on the iphone and on the ipad mini (both running ios 7). If on the iphone I use the regular 3g data network I have no problems, google loads up fast and any search I do goes as well. If I use my macbook pro connected to the ethernet cable to my home network, I have no problem either. I can't just seem to be able to access google through my home wife on iphone and Ipad. tried to empty the cache, deleted cookies. If I reset the devices it works for a few minutes and then the problem is back again.
    Any suggestion?

  • Printing e-mail from Google-Problems

    The only way we can print an e-mail from Google e-mail is to print as a PDF and then use Acrobat Reader and print it from that application. It drives my wife crazy. Any suggestions? Thanks. Dave

    How do you access your Email? 
    * Do you log into an email service through a web browser?
    * Or do you use an email software client such as MS Outlook?
    If you are logging into an email client through a web browser, then are you doing so in Internet Explorer?  Have you tried multiple browsers to make sure the problem doesn't follow?
    I would also advise trying an alternate driver, such as the 990c driver, to see if it is a driver compatibility issue.  For information on how to use an alternate driver, see Shane_R's thread found here.  Hope this helps.

  • Dashcode And iWeb(mobileme) upload problem

    Long story, short, I'm trying to make my Mobile Me Blog RSS feed into an iphone web app. In Dashcode I have the rss template set up and in the Application attributes URL Feed I have : http://web.me.com/username/MyAnnouncesments.rss.xml.
    I have already uploaded the site in iWeb.
    When I try uploading (deploying) the webapp in DashCode I get this error:
    The deploy domain “idisk.me.com” is different from “web.me.com” used by data source “feedDataSource”. This can cause the web application to not function properly.
    What is wrong? They are both mobile me hosted so I don't see the problem.
    How Do I fix this?

    For some reason, iWeb thinks I own the domain name www.katiehughes.com and tries to post the pages there.
    It doesn't actually try to "post the pages there." The only place it can post your pages is web.me.com/username, even when it says otherwise down at the bottom. So it really doesn't matter as far as what is happening to your site.
    But go to your MobileMe account settings/personal domain and delete anything which is in there. If nothing is there, you might put in a nonsense url and see if that will replace katiehughes, and then delete that later.

Maybe you are looking for
