Limit of blog entries in Archive

I have a blog with 201 entries. I had it set up so that the main page displayed 5 and the rest were on the Archive page. Tonight I noticed that the first 13 were not displaying on the Archive.
I have temporarily fixed it by increasing the main page to 30 entries, but it still seems that there must be a limit. I know this has been discussed elsewhere and it's been stated that there is no limit... my experience seems to indicate otherwise. Any suggestions?

this is just an out of nowhere guess since i will probably never ever reach 200 posts in iweb's blogging system (and i don't think this explanation explains how when you switch it up to 30 on the front page it changes the archive)... but maybe the limit is in fact 200 something for the DISPLAYED archive.
... meaning if you use the little search function you can still see your oldest blogs, but they are just not displayed on the archive page because of an iweb limitation.
well that is my best guess...

  • Is there a blog entry limit?

    I've been searching the forums for an answer, but haven't been able to find one. Before moving from Rapid Weaver to iWeb 2.0 (my blog), I am interested in knowing whether there is a limit to the number of individual blog entries you can have in iWeb?
    Another quick question. . . the iWeb's Help Viewer says that you can add images using a media placeholder. When I insert a placeholder (and image) into a blog entry, the image shows up fine there. But none of the images show up on the summary page.
    I have made sure that the excerpt setting allows plenty of room for the image, in fact, text under the image shows up in the summary, but there's just a blank space where the image should be.
    Does the blog summary page no longer support placeholders/images within an entry?

    There is an *+iWeb '08 Getting Started Manual PDF+* on line:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iWeb08_GettingStarted.pdf
    This is on Page 16 from the above manual:
    "To add a new blog entry:
    1 In the sidebar, click Entries.
    2 Click the Add Entry button.
    The new entry appears below the Title list with placeholder text and graphics.
    3 Double-click the placeholder text to change the title and add your own text to the entry.
    4 Drag graphics from iPhoto or elsewhere on your computer to replace the placeholder graphics. (If the Media Browser isn’t open, click Media in the toolbar and then click Photos to access your photos.)
    If you make changes to a blog entry, such as changing the font or the background color, you can duplicate the entry the next time you add an entry and keep the same formatting."
    There may be more info to read that you may need!

  • How to adjust the number of blog entries on the archive page?

    Does anyone know how to adjust the number of blog entries on the archive page?
    As it stands now the blog archive page lists the archives past the 4000px page length in what appears to be a long endless list.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Thanks Wyodor but that just adjusts the entries on the blog page....not the blog archive page.
    On the blog archive page it's just a long endless list of entries. It appears that you simply cannot adjust this on the archive page. Additionally if the blog entries exceed 50 I have to start deleting older entries.
    Overall iWeb has served my needs well but this issue *****. They could probably fix it with a software update if they wanted to.

  • Archive Blog Entries

    After making several entries in my blog, the time has come to move most of them to archive (so that they don't appear in the blog front page, but they are still accessible on the websie). There must be a simple way to do this, but I can't figure it out. If I hit the 'delete' entry in the 'entries' page, it deletes the entry from archive as well. How do you do it?

    You can set how many entries appear on the front blog page using the Inspector. First select your main blog page. Then open the Inspector and click over to the RSS tab. There, you can adjust the number of entries shown (all the other entries fall off into the Archive page) and you can also adjust how much of a text excerpt to show as well.

  • Removing some pages/files/archived blog entries with in a website

    I noticed on my iDisk there are pages/files/old blog entries that I had removed from my iWeb (on my computer, saved and then published to .Mac). I am getting close to running out of room on my .Mac/iDisk account that is why I saw that there were old pages still on the iDisk/.Mac that I thought I had removed. How do I completely remove these pages/files/old blog entries I no longer need or want?

    Hi Peter...
    Not sure what is going on here... but I do notice a mistake in the RSS.xml feed URL. When you publish to folder in iWeb, be sure to enter in the domain name of our site. Now in your case, you are uploading to a subdirectory "iwebrats", so you need to include that as well. So in the URL field box in the Publish to Folder window, you should be entering: http://www.petermaher.com/iwebrats/ This will ensure that iWeb generates a valid RSS/podcast feed URL for your site.
    Now on to your blog errors....it's behaving like you didn't upload the blog entry at all. When you do a publish to folder, iWeb will lay down two things inside this folder.... an index.html page and a folder (named after your site and containing a bunch of files associated with it). These are the two things that you should be uploading to your "iwebrats" subdirectory. You need to upload both items WITHOUT the enclosing folder. So when you look at your "iwebrats" subdirectory in your FTP program, you should see the index.html program and your sitefolder. Don't take anything out of the sitefolder...just upload it as is. Upload the two items as is, keeping the index.html file outside the site folder.
    Go back and double check your uploading. Maybe re-FTP things. I think you will see that your site will work.

  • Help, my new Blog entries, since iLife '08 upgrade, don't show ANY text!

    Ever since upgrading to iLife '08, my new Blog entries do not show any of the text once it is uploaded to the server. In fact, all of my recent Blog entries now have all thier text gone when viewed online. Only Blog pages in "Archives" are still normal. What gives?! They all look good in iWeb, but not live. Thanks for your help. Wayne

    Hi Cedric. I went ahead and took down all recent changes to my site, and then just re-uploaded my last good set-up from iLife 2006. I think iLife 2008 changes how blog pages are addressed. As an example, my two most recent good entries show on the web as:
    http://waynelhenderson.com/Blog/693901ED-99E6-42D3-8AA9-7F8338989B47.html
    http://waynelhenderson.com/Blog/629035FF-E021-4B9D-AFE5-D091583E0676.html
    Notice the long string of numbers, letters, and dashes, after the word /Blog/? My iWeb in iLife 2008 no longer puts those types of strings at the end of /Blog/. Instead, the Blog web entries show as:
    http://waynelhenderson.com/Blog/Entries/2007/10/26Tuning_In_With_Wayne_Henderson_podcast_39_%26_40%2C_by_Wayne_Henderson_Voice-ove rs(206)984-1446iPhone_GreenpeacePackers!.html (before I took it down because it wasn't working right).
    Could the fact that instead of the string of number, letters, and dashes after /Blog/, my iLife '08 uses "/Blog/Entries/2007/10/26_Tu....etc" have anything to do with my problem of text not showing?
    I've always used the same fonts, sizes, and colors. But now it's not working. What is weird, however, is that if I did Select All, and Copy and Paste the web page contents onto Notepad...the text IS THERE...just not showing on the web.
    Argh!

  • Photo problems in blog entries...

    I am having problems with photos and images displaying in blog entries. I am able to place photos in the text of my blog entries but upon publishing some will display and some won't (in any web browser or system used).
    I have tried emptying Safari caches and reloading pages but to no avail. Some photos are still missing (they are displaying as a small question mark when viewed online).
    What's worse is that reinserting the photos in iWeb and then republishing will make some of the missing photos appear on my site while others that were displaying okay previously will now be gone.
    The result is that many of my blog entries are always missing photos.
    Examples of this can be seen by clicking to view the various entries here:
    http://web.mac.com/jtbcmac/iWeb/MaiTai/MontrealTiki/Archive.html
    and here:
    http://web.mac.com/jtbcmac/iWeb/MaiTai/OtherArticles/Archive.html
    I am currently trying to reload things, so pages may or may not look ok when you view them.
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  
      Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    UPDATE:
    All seems to be fine now... after making minor changes on each of the affected pages and republishing a couple of times.
    But I have a feeling the problem will re-occur... as it has in the past... when I make a new blog entry.

  • Lost iWeb '09 Blog Entries

    I kept a number of blogs pertaining to my pregnancy and several other topics. A few months ago, I moved the blogs from my main site and created a new site I called Archive. My plan was to publish these to a folder for backup purposes, but the publish always fails.
    My larger problem is that now, the blog entries seem to be...not gone, exactly, but I can't see them. On two, the main blog page shows up, and when I click on Entries, I can see the list of my entries and their titles, but I can't scroll through them (list snaps back if I release the mouse button). I can't click on them either. One blog works just fine. One shows the main splash page, but shows only the background of the Entries page.
    iWeb won't let me move these out of my Archive site. I have been unable to publish them to MobileMe or to a folder. I've tried deleting plists, etc. but nothing works. Restoring from backup messes up my current sites.
    Help, please. I'd like to not lose these. Are these files alive somewhere?

    The entries are kept on the MobileMe server I believe and are linked to your main site. If you can move those blog sites back into your main site you might be able to get the entires back. No guarantee however.

  • In iWeb, blog entries are not appearing

    in iWeb, am entering blog entries which are appearing in the blog archive but showing up as an entry for people to see.  Any suggestions?

    Do you mean 'appearing in the blog archive but not showing up as an entry for people to see' ?
    By default iWeb limits the number of entries in a blog feed to 5; it then moves older episodes to the archive page (and out of the feed) as new entries are made. You can increase this number to 50 in the RSS section of the Inspector.
    New entries should not be appearing in the Archive, though if you were giving them older dates then they presumably would.
    Posting the URL of your blog might aid in finding a solution.

  • Iweb 08 - missing blog entries

    All of a sudden, my website, hosted on mobilme has stopped showing the blog entries. I have tried uploading new content to the site and everything shows up just fine on my idisk where it should be, but the master page and archive page of the blog show no entries in Safari. Strangely, if you click the RSS feed, everything is where it should be and you can leaf through the blog pages that way. This is an old site which has worked without issue (except for the infamous transition period). I have made no procedural or structural changes to the site at all. Everything looks fine in iWeb. Any ideas why this would happen?
    Thanks
    RDD

    It is a known bug in iWeb. Whenever I make a change or add a post, even in an other site or blog, then the whole blog summary is wiped out or has misplaced images. If you upload the changes, then your site will be damaged on the internet.
    So whatever you do in iWeb and you have a blog, you always have to check all your other blogs to see if things are still as they should be.
    After each change or addition my rss feed is ruined.
    It is time Apple started paying attention to these signals.
    Please in all cases send feedback to Apple. This is a recurring problem. If they don't fix it the blog part of iWeb is pretty useless, at least for me and many other users.

  • Blog Entries Saved to Folder

    Hi all:
    I hope those of you who have already used iWeb 2 can answer me. One of the worste thing of the previous version of iWeb was that when I added a new post to my blog and saved it folder, it saved AGAIN all the other unedited posts and pages too. Therefore, when I add the 301th post I have to wait for iWeb to save all the 300. And this is pure madness.
    Can I save only the new blog entries with iWeb 2?
    Thanks,
    -Antonio

    I have note tested this yet but I feel quite sure nothing has changed for you.
    When you add an entry to your blog your blog's base page has changed it's content; you understand that it must regenerate and upload that page anew. Your archive page too has changed in the respect that it has had the last listed entry on the base page added to the top of it's parade.
    It only makes sense that it would have to upload both of these. So I assume it is storing these as two basic pages. One of which, in your case, is extremely large, the archival one. It's true a better approach would be to save 300+ pages and just use url's, but apparently they have decided against this.
    I might suggest that you make an entirely separate page for your archival construction and route to it from your base page, rather than letting iWeb take care of all of that for you. If your home-made archival page never changes, it won't upgrade.
    So you have your base page with 5 or 10 entries, your archival page with say another 20 or so, then you have your mega-archive as a different blog page inside iWeb, and route user with a url at the bottom of the iWeb archive page.
    iWeb isn't the best tool for all jobs. If I was that industrious and had a 300+ entry blog I'd use iBlog (which is a **** of a nice program) or blog.mac, also a great program. Just a thought.
    Good luck!

  • Does changing the RSS excerpt length of blog entries really work?

    Hello,
    Due to various problems[1] with the RSS feed contents that iWeb produces for blog entries I would like to limit each excerpt in the RSS feed to a small portion of the blog entry to encourage readers to visit the full post on my website. The iWeb help says that adjusting the "Excerpt Length" in the Blog portion of the Inspector will adjust the excerpt length on the blog summary page and in the RSS file. But no matter what I choose for the Excerpt Length, the text of the entire entry goes into the RSS file.
    Has anyone else had any success in limiting the contents of the RSS feed? Is this a bug in the program or in the help text?
    Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide!
    -Jason

    Sorry for replying to my own post, but I forgot to mention the problems I've had with the contents of RSS feeds of an iWeb blog:
    1. inline images don't make it to the RSS feed, just the template default image (which I know how to replace, but sometimes I want more images in a blog entry)
    2. hash characters (aka "number sign" or "pound sign" or "#") in a link URL get UTF-8 encoded to %2523 which browsers and/or servers don't seem to like. I discovered that when directly linking to a particulary .Mac Web Gallery album. The link works fine from the blog page, but not from the RSS feed. <sigh>

  • Blog entry template type?

    I want to change hyperlink colors in my blog entries. I followed the excellent instructions I found here and edited the blog template to make the hyperlinks blue. But only the links on the main blog page were affected. Which template do I have to edit to change the colors for blog entries? Thanks.
    David

    Looking around on some of the sites linked from posts in this forum, I found the answer to my question. In case anyone else has this question: the blog template file contains the settings for all three blog page types (main, entry and archive).

  • IWeb refuses to publish my latest blog entry

    I have ftp'ed into the server and deleted the whole thing. I re-published the whole site and the most recent blog entry just isn't there. In iWeb it is fine, I can get to it, it shows up in the archive, it is actually uploaded to the server, there are just no links to it anywhere on the site.
    Help.

    have a problem that apple support has just not been able to solve:( produced and published a website and hosting it through iweb. recently, any changes made in iweb will not publish - i tested a page in a new site and it published perfectly. am beginning to think there is something corrupt in my original site. i have backed up the domain to a portable drive - without rebuilding the bloody site, will it work if i delete the published site (which clearly has an error) and republish my latest version of the site? thanks in advance,
