Link iWeb Page To External Page

How do I link a page I've created in iWeb to my Blogger site? Meaning - when folks click on "Blogs & Podcasts" in the iWeb index, they will be automatically brought to my Blog site (external page)? I've tried everything and nothing seems to work!
I don't want to have an image on my iWeb Blog page where it's hyperlinked...I literally want folks to just be brought to my external Blogger page. Is this possible?

Hi Juliet,
You could create an auto-popup window you will find instructions on the following page
http://alyeska.altervista.org/en/iWeb_Music.html
BUT the auto popup window will not work for those whom have set their browser to block popup windows (for security reasons and because they're annoying sometimes...)
Another solution would be to embed the Blog into an iWeb page using an iframe like the example on this page:
http://alyeska.altervista.org/en/iWeb_Blogging.html
Another solution is provided here

Linking IWEB pages to another is failing

When using Iweb I have no problems with linking the various pages to another via the buttons bar on top of the page. However, when I publish the project to my desktop all the buttons on the bar are missing so that I cannot open the other pages. Hasd anyone the same experience and how to solve this? I am using IWEB 11.

Are you getting a bullet (•) instead of the navbar at the top? That's an indication that not all of the site files have been uploaded. What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?

Redirect iWeb Pages To External Sites?

I have a persona domain that I have linked to my .mac account. I have a previous blog that I am trying to substitute on my site instead of having to create a whole new one using the iWeb blog feature. How do I do this?
Currently, I have tried to change my CNAME records at my Domain control panel. I use blogger.com so I entered in a new CNAME record that would direct to the correct destination field.
All I want to happen is to have on my navigation bar where it says blog to redirect to myname.blogger.com. I can not figure out how to do this. Maybe I am just making it too complicated.

I was struggling with this same problem for a few hours tonight and finally got it figured out.
1. Create a blank page in iWeb and set it to be included in the navigation bar.
2. After publishing your site, find the file iWeb creates called "index.html" and open it with a text editor. (I like TextWrangler, but TextEdit should work as well.)
3. The file should be very short. Find the section that looks like this:
meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url= PageName.html" /
4. Replace the portion after "url=" with the full external URL you want the navigation bar link to point to. For example, your final line might look like this:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://myblog.blogspot.com" />
5. Select "Save as...", and use this file to replace the blank iWeb page you created for the Navbar. (If you made Blog.html, this will become your new "Blog.html" file. (Don't just save the file, or you'll screw up your index file. We're just using it as a template.)
For an example of this fix in action, here's my site where I did this exact same thing earlier this evening:
www.timelypersuasion.com
(click on the "blog" link in the navbar to see the external redirect)
Hope this helps.

How to link rollover buttons to iWeb pages?

I've made my roll over buttons, their all ready and set up but I can't link them to my other iweb pages. Can anyone tell me how to do this? I tried publishing the site and setting it to link to url.com/blah (example!) but that doesn't work, it says the page doesn't exist.
It's so simple to link when it's just a picture, why is this so difficult

There are two types of links you can use for linking pages of a website - relative and absolute.
When you choose "Link to: One of my pages" in the Link inspector this creates a relative link.
When you choose to link to an external page you need to enter the full URL to the published page into the box in the Link inspector. Example...
http://www.domain-name.com/site-name/page-name.html

Tip: How to link to a non-iWeb page in the main navigation menu.

I've figured out an easy way to add a link to the main navigation menu which links to a URL of your choosing. For example, I have an older .Mac site using the now archaic HomePage. Instead of rebuilding all of my old pages in iWeb, I thought it would be nice to add a link to the old site from the top main navigation of the iWeb pages. Sounds easy, right? Apparently Apple has other ideas as iWeb doesn't allow you to do this.
Here's a work-a-round:
Step 1.) Open iWeb and add a new page to your iWeb site. Pick any template, it doesn't matter which one.
Step 2.) Change the page name to whatever you want using the page inspector. Whatever you choose as a name here will be reflected in the main navigation menu. For example, I named my page "Photo Archives".
Step 3.) You don't need to edit this new page at all. In fact, we're going to erase all of the content in it later. Now publish your site.
Step 4.) If you're using .Mac, mount your iDisk to your desktop. Then navigate through the folders to: Web -> Sites -> iWeb -> <Your Site Name>. If you're hosting your site somewhere else, navigate to your root directory.
Step 5.) You should now be looking at all of the files which make up your iWeb site. Open the dummy page we created in Step 2 in a text editor. I used BBEdit, but TextEdit (see note below) will work just fine. For example, my dummy page is named "Photo Archives.html".
Note: If you're going to use TextEdit, you need to select the checkbox "Ignore rich-text commands in HTML files" from the Open & Save pane of the Preferences dialog PRIOR to opening the file from your iDisk.
Step 6.) Select all of the text (Command-A) and Delete.
Step 7.) Paste the following text, substituting the URL you want to link to.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><title></title><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://www.mydomain.com/mypage.html" /></head><body></body></html>
Step 8.) Save the file. You're done! You now have a link in the main navigation which goes to any URL you want.

Hi,
I'm OK to step seven but in your example can you highlight or make bold the "url address part " I'm to replace with my own?
Thanks!
Step 6.) Select all of the text (Command-A) and
Delete.
Step 7.) Paste the following text, substituting the
URL you want to link to.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.d

xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><title></ti
tle><meta http-equiv="refresh"
content="0;url=http://www.mydomain.com/mypage.html"
/></head><body></body></html>
Step 8.) Save the file. You're done! You now have a
link in the main navigation which goes to any URL you
want.

When I send a link to my iweb page it doesn't open

If I want to send a link of my iweb page to someone, the way I do it is firstly open the page online, copy the link from the browsers address and then from mail I goto "add hyperlink" paste the link in and then send, all looks ok, but when the other person tries to open, the link will not.
I sent to myself to test and found that the link address once sent this way from mail, is different than the original. Where the original address would be %20 it is now %2520. The number 25 is placed in front of 20 numerous times through out the link and so of course the site won't open.
Would hugely appreciate any feedback,
thanks
torder

I decided to edit my post and add some more info but I guess I took too long. So here's an edited version:
Idea 1 - the simple method: Forget the "add hyperlink" part. Just paste the address into your email message by hand. It comes out as a hyperlink (though it does not appear so when you are crafting the message) and does not create the problem you are having.
Idea 2 - the prettier method: Use "add hyperlink" but do some editing first. When you paste the hyperlink into the box you must replace each "%20" with a space. The link will be displayed in your email message as you would like it to appear - with spaces instead of %20's - but the underlying link will have the %20's. I can't guarantee it will come out pretty with every email program and every preference setting someone might use but any good program should get it right.

Linking photo page to iweb?

Can we add an alias to our photo page which will link us to our iweb?
I love my photo page, bring back the feature.

You can do it by adding an HTML link to your photo page file that points to the iWeb primary file. It would be something link this:
YYYYYY where
XXXXXX is the url of your iWeb page (enclosed in the quote marks) and the YYYYYY is the active text for the link. Remove space following each "<"http://homepage.mac.com/toad.hall/.Pictures/Forum/OT1.png">

Adding a facebook link to an iWeb page (08)

I got a free Twitter icon and somehow got it to operate by marrying the link to it.... for lack of a better term; spent the better part of 30 minutes getting it done.
Tried to remember how I did it, and repeat that with a facebook icon.... haven't been able to get it done.
Can anyone tell me how to "widget" a facebook link to my iweb 08 page?
Thanks!

I see this at the top:
"This question is not answered. "Helpful" answers available: 2 . "Solved" answers available: 1 .
It seems there is a "solved" answer, but gives me no link to go to it. I "searched several different options but could only find one thing even close and that was to embed the facebook page in an iweb page... not what I want.
Is there anyone that can point me in the correct direction to go to the link that gives me the "solved" answer?
Thanks.

Links to site come up "can't find the iweb page you've requested..."

hi-
i was able to successfully republish my updated website (thru mobile me). it was originally published thru .mac last year before .mac changed to mobile me. however, i noticed that my web address does not have "mobile me" in the title as in some of the other websites that i've check out on the boards here. i wonder if that's a problem because when i've e-mailed links (by dragging the address or even copy & paste) to my updated website, the links don't work. it goes to a mac page that says "we're sorry but we can't find the iWeb page you've requested..." however, if i go thru a search engine (entering the first couple words of my site title), the website comes up fine. also, if i type in the full address manually in an e-mail, the link works. the problem seems to be in the dragging of the address directly from the site. are these things related? my website address is: http://www.hale-o-lani-aloha.com. (feel free to critique the site if you have any opinions about it)
thanks.

Deona,
Here's another post that might prove useful to you, from the iWeb06 forum. This may help you in the future when you want to update your site:
Because your site is already up on the .Mac server, I would never engage in publishing the entire site again; unless, of course, you just rebuilt the whole thing. Note which pages you made changes to, and publish your site to a folder. Double-click this folder on your desktop, and open the window in column view. Navigate to the Page_files, and the Page.html.
With the Finder window open that is showing your site, Command+N. Another Finder window will open. In this window, navigate to the same files on your iDisk, again, using the Go menu in Finder:
Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/SiteFolder/Page_files(page.html)
From the iDisk Finder window, drag the Page_files/page.html of the pages that you made changes to to the trash. Now, from the other window, the window which shows your site in the published folder, drag these same files into the iDisk window, placing them in the same SiteFolder directory from which you dragged files to the trash. If you created a new page, you will need to also replace all other Page_files/page.html files which link to new page(s).
What you have just done is replace only the changed files. Because the .Mac slideshow assets are already uploaded, you should not have lost the .Mac slideshow for your photo's pages. Sometimes, it can even get simpler....as an example, I have a site that contains numerous .pdf files. With these, I don't even touch the Page_files/page.html files; I simple go into the Page_files folder and replace the old .pdf file with the new, updated one. Obviously the files are named exactly the same.
This is the best way for you to update your existing site on .Mac. You might also take a look at the ftp client, "Transmit". It works well with .Mac, with the exception that you must use the "Publish to a folder" command in iWeb.

Putting link in old Mac homepage to new iWeb page

Hi there is there anyway of putting a link in my old mac.com homepage that would link to my new iWeb page?
Thanks
Gareth

Are you replacing the old homepage site with a new iWeb one or keeping it and just linking? If it's the later you would have to do some html editing since the homepage sites are no longer editable online like they once were. The code would look something like this:
TEXT
Go to your iDisk/Sites folder and locate the old site's folder. In it will be the html file for the first page. Open it with a text/html editor like the free TextWrangler, locate where you want to have the link appear and add the code above.
Replace the URL with the URL of your new site and replace TEXT with whatever you want to appear, like "Click here to go to the new site", etc.
Let me know if you plan on replacing the old site with the new iWeb site and want a redirect link to automatically send visitors from the old site to the new one.

Embedding Iweb page into Craigslist using mobile me link?

I would like to embed an iweb page or and ad creating in Pages into a craigslist post. How can I do this so it looks like a nicely formatted webpage in my craigslist posting?

It just occurred to me that because I have a MacBook for work and a MacBookPro for home, I am using two different OS. My MacBook is still running on Leopard, but my personal computer has Snow Leopard. The blog issue is appearing no matter which computer I'm publishing from. And as of right now, iWeb is not freezing like it was earlier this evening. But what's really curious is that after publishing from both OS, the blog issue remains the same and so does the error reading. I wish that I could attach the snapshot I took from both computers. If anyone is interested in seeing the errors from the snapshot, I'd be glad to email them to you.
On another note, when I copied my domain file (from my laptop with Snow Leopard) to my iDisk to transfer to my laptop with Leopard, it wouldn't open at all. This is another new issue for me as I haven't had problems with this in the past.
So, Snow Leopard appears to have a bug, but even with using Leopard, I am still experiencing the same errors with the blog.
I just wanted to throw that out there because I really need my website up and running for the first day of school with my students next Thursday. =/

Is there a way to open an iWeb page in 'new' window?

I'm trying to show a client how to run iWeb so he can tweak his own site on the road. He doesn't know html. I don't want to have to write out a complicated list of instructions for him.
Is there a way IN iWeb to have an iWeb page open as a 'new' window?
He's a songwriter ... wants visitors to be able to open a song and have it play while they continue to browse his site.
thanks

Ben:
When you create a text link to an file you can set it to open in another window by setting it up as an external page checking the appropriate checkbox in the Inspector/Link pane. . You would have to upload the file to the Music folder on the iDisk beforehand and then use the following URL:
http://homepage.mac.com/youraccount_name/.Music/FileName
Note the dot before Music in the URL. Don't forget it. See the link titled *"This sentence is linked to a jpg file."* in this demo page. It's linked to a photo but the principle is the same.

How do I add Bloglines graphic to my iWeb page

I have created a knitting blog using iWeb and .mac. Most knitters use Bloglines to follow their favorite sites. I have added RSS to the top of my blog but would also like to add Bloglines and its subscribe button.
I went to Bloglines, created an account, and went through the steps to pick an icon and generate the HTML to add to my web page. I have no clue how I'm suppose to add this code in iWeb.
I did a search of iWeb's help and it seems there are only 3 choices for adding feeds, RSS, podcast, and photocast. I just want to add Bloglines to this list.
Am I not understanding what RSS is? I thought it was different than the more specific Bloglines. Traffic to my site will be limited if I can't figure out how to hook into the knitting blogline community.
Thanks in advance,
Kathryn

Instead of putting the HTML code that you get from Bloglines into your iWeb HTML files, it will be easier just to import the button graphics into iWeb and then attach the appropriate hyperlinks to the buttons using the iWeb Inspector Hyperlink tab... Here are some general steps...
1. Go to http://www.bloglines.com and log into your account.
2. Click on the Feeds tab.
3. Click on the "Get a Subscribe To Bloglines Button" link
4. Decide which button you want to use and the Control-click on the button image.
5. Select "Save Image to Desktop" from the menu that pops up.
6. Go ahead and enter your iWeb RSS feed URL and then click "Generate HTML"
7. On the next screen, you'll see some code that looks like this:
8. Copy the underlined URL from your generated HTML code. This is all you will need.
9. Now launch iWeb
10. Drag the button graphic that you saved into your page
11. Select the button and the open the Inspector Hyperlink tab.
12. Check the box "Enable as hyperlink"
13. Next to Link To:, choose "External URL"
14. In the URL field, enter/paste in the URL from Step 8
That should be it! You can select the button graphic on the page and copy and paste it to any number of locations on your iWeb pages now. The link and everything should stay intact.
Let me know if this works out for you. Good luck!

Will Aperture work with existing iWeb pages and MM galleries from iPhoto?

Now that Aperture is available as an $80 app, I am considering moving from iPhoto to Aperture. If I do, will Aperture work seamlessly with my existing iWeb pages and MM galleries, set up via iWeb and/or iPhoto? The other editing programs I use on occasion are Nikon Capture NX2, and Photoshop Elements. Also, if I want to at time remain in "simple iPhoto" mode while using Aperture, is this possible, or will my life be more complicated for every edit? Thank you!

Slightly disappointed in the dearth of good web page
creating options in Aperture (you'd think they'd be
better, no?). Can I get iWeb and create web pages
using my Aperture photos?
Yes, iWeb can access your Aperture images if you've enabled previous. I tried this and found iWeb's web galleries quite horrid. After experimenting with a variety of options, I settled on customizing Aperture's web galleries and grafting together pages created by the two programs. iWeb works fine for throwing together some top level pages, and you can then hang Aperture web galleries off them as external links. Several folks have posted instructions on how to do this, and one fellow assembled a nice PDF.
Cheers,
Andreas
