Linking Blog Page to Blogger

I have a blog on blogger and would prefer not to change it. Is there a way to make the "blog" button in my nav bar go to my blogger url?
Thanks!
Jill

It involves a bit of HTML juggling after you publish, but Yes, you can. Go here for a description of what's involved:

  • Email link - link problem on events and blog pages

    I added a email link on a master page - link works properly on all except blog pages and events pages -
    on these pages it links to http://www.h2oonstone.com/mailto:[email protected]  which brings up a bad request
    the link on my celebration page works Celebration | Water on Stone Productions | Art, Music, Magic
    but on the individual events pages they don't - example National Wildlife Day -
    also doesn't work on blog main Water on Stone Watershed
    or on the individual pages  Smoothie Love | Watershed | Water on Stone Productions

    Hi Sanjit -
    The workaround works - but - I had to fix it on the events and e-commerce templates too - and the error template as well.
    The problem is is that every time I make a change and upload the muse file I will have to modify these html pages and that is unsustainable… way too much work as I will be modifying the pages frequently till I have site completed.
    Also strange - on the Blog pages that when I reimplemented the email link (on the master page)  that the normal state does not remain white but defaults to a black - which I suspect has to do with the link default states. I haven't been able to fix this today.
    All the other buttons - with links off-site maintain the states and links work.
    Thanks, Ann

  • Recreate a blog page to link with existing entries

    My hard disk crashed a while ago, and although it was replaced under Applecare, some of my data was either corrupted at the time or subsequently and hasn’t copied back successfully. The problem I’m stuck with now is that I can’t get iWeb working again properly, and I need to find out if there’s a way to recreate a blog page that will link to the existing series of entries which show up ok in the edit entries area, just not on the lead blog page itself.
    Here’s more detailed info:
    I've copied the whole Site folder from my iDisk, but can't seem to force iWeb to read from it. I can find the Domain file in my user library, and tried removing it to make iWeb create a new one, which I hoped it would rebuild from the downloaded Site folder which I swapped in for the old one that appears to be corrupt. 
    However, iWeb is a stubborn little so-and-so, and I just can't get two key parts of the site I've built within it to now see their links. The main opening page of the website is a blog, and that is completely blank, even though the series of entries are present. The archive for this section is also blank. This is my biggest worry, as if I try to publish and the index page is blank then there's no way to navigate to the rest of the site.
    The second part that's playing up is also a blog, called Soul Blog, and for this one the blog page is partially there, but missing the list of entries (you can see the header section and a few Google ads down the right hand side). Again the entries are present, although several are missing their media (I think that may be a few files that were lost in trying to reinstall my data onto the replacement hard drive when mine crashed). On this one the archive seems fine.
    I've added here a series of screenshots to illustrate what I mean, and whereas with a normal page I could just rebuild it, I can't figure out how to make a blog page and tell it to access all of the existing entries the old one linked to. So if any of you have any idea on how to go about this I'd be eternally grateful! Here are the screenshots, and many thanks for any help.

    iWeb doesn't have an integrated way of doing this (perhaps in iWeb 2.0?), so you'll have to do post-publishing editing. One approach is to use a Flash-based viewer...
    SimpleViewer is a free, customizable Flash image viewing application:
    http://www.airtightinteractive.com/simpleviewer/
    Here's an example integrated into an iWeb site:
    http://www.rowan-cottage.co.uk/Site/Events_Photos.html
    And here's a tutorial on how to do it:
    http://www.rowan-cottage.co.uk/Site/SimpleViewer.html
    An alternative viewer is:
    http://www.bananalbum.com/
    Here's a thread discussing various alternatives:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4403028#4403028
    Bear in mind that with such "viewers" you're not going to have complete flexibility on the placement of your thumbnails. For absolute control of thumbnail positioning and behaviour you would need, for example, a JavaScript script. Softpress' "Freeway Pro" web-design software incorporates a "Slave Show/Hide Image" JavaScript "Action":
    http://www.softpress.com/actionfiles/Slave_Show_HideImage/
    ...but then you would be moving away from being a pure iWeb site.

  • Blog page in iweb site not responding or linking like other pages

    Hi
    This is a new issue for me. I have multiple pages that I created in my iweb site through my personal domain ... studio8films.net
    All page hyperlinks will work properly, but the BLOG page seems to stall and when I look at the bottom of the window it is trying to access www.me.com where ALL THE OTHER PAGES show the access to web.mac.com
    Can someone tell me why this is the case? It doesn't make sense. And it is a new issue.

    Furthermore ...
    When the BLOG page finally loads, I click on the 'add comment' and a message comes up that says 'We're sorry. We are having a problem processing your request.
    Is there something going on with mobile.me and iweb blog pages or is there something wrong on my end?

  • More secure public blog pages

    I have got Snow Leopard Server up and hosting several simple public sites without problems. One of my sites has a blog for public view.
    Previously, this site was hosted elsewhere and the blog ran on MovableType. In MT, Blogger, etc. the url for the public page of the blog is different from the url which is used to edit the blog. Thus, the edit/administration log in page can be configured to use SSL or locked down to reduce attempts at hacking the site, while the public views are simple http. Now that it is migrating to SLS 10.6.4, the public blog page has the log in linking to editing/posting functions.
    There are actually two questions. Is there a way to make this more secure? And, is there an easy way to map the blog to another url such as "blog.mysite.net" ? I have played around with creating a duplicate blog page located in the web root where appropriate <div>'s and parts of the native blog page "www.mysite.net/users/username" are copied and certain links are removed. It's a bit flaky. For example, it you protect the blog using a realm to prevent access then include a <div> from the blog page on a page outside the realm, it may not display. It also takes away log in for posting comments.
    How have you solved similar issues?

    The simple idea is to clean up URLs. I wanted to get a variety of simple URLs to point to my blog. For example, "www.yoursite.url/blog" and "blog.yoursite.url" would all call up "www.yoursite.url/users/blogger/weblog" in the browser.
    In this set of instructions, there is only one blog on the site created by the user "blogger":
    The first (getting "www.yoursite.url/blog" to call "www.yoursite.url/users/blogger/weblog") is simple. In Server Admin -> Sites -> yoursite.net (or whatever) under the Aliases tab, click the "+" under "URL Aliases and Redirects" and create a new Redirect where the pattern is "/blog" and the path is "http://www.yoursite.url/users/blogger/weblog" and click OK. Now Save and restart the Web service.
    The other was a bit more challenging but mod_rewrite comes to the rescue.
    First, you need to set up the DNS servers.
    1. Log in to the DNS control panel of your registrar, ISP, or DNS provider (everydns, dyndns, etc.) and add an A record for blog.mysite.net pointing to the public IP address of your firewall/etc. on which your Snow Leopard Server answers http requests.
    2. In Server Admin, under DNS -> Primary zone -> Add New Record -> Alias which is "blog.yoursite.url" pointing to the IP address or name of your SLS.
    Next, you create a web server alias and then rewrite http request coming in to that alias. The steps are:
    1. Stop Web service in Server Admin.
    2. In Server Admin -> Settings -> Modules, make sure rewrite_module is checked.
    3. In Server Admin -> Web -> Sites, select your "www.yoursite.url" which hosts the blog and under the Aliases tab, click the "+" under the Web Server Aliases field and create the alias "blog.yoursite.url"
    4. Now, in Server Admin -> Web -> Sites, select your "www.yoursite.url" which hosts the blog and under the Options tab, enable "Allow All Overrides" and save.
    5. Next is a bit of rewrite configuration. You need to rewrite http request for "blog.yoursite.url" to "www.yoursite.url/users/blogger." Fire up your terminal and "sudo nano -w /etc/apache2/sites/0005your.ip.add.ress_portwww.yoursite.url.conf, find the <Directory> section which looks like this:
    <Directory "/Library/WebServer/Sites/yoursite.url">
    <IfModule mod_dav.c>
    DAV Off
    </IfModule>
    Options All -Includes -ExecCGI -Indexes +MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    </Directory>
    Edit this to:
    <Directory "/Library/WebServer/Sites/yoursite.url">
    <IfModule mod_dav.c>
    DAV Off
    </IfModule>
    Options All -Includes -ExecCGI -Indexes +MultiViews +FollowSymlinks
    AllowOverride All
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.* [NC]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^blog\. [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.yoursite.url/users/blogger/weblog [R,NC,L]
    </IfModule>
    </Directory>
    Even though mod_rewrite.c is loaded, rewriting will not occur unless the directives "Options +FollowSymlinks" and "RewriteEngine on" are in the conf file or .htaccess file. The first RewriteCond tells the rewrite engine not to attempt rewriting HTTP_HOST requests which start with www. The second RewriteCond checks if the HTTP_POST field begins with "blog." The RewriteRule takes the requested url and rewrites it. Although the url description "^(.*)" matches all urls, we know any http request must be for "www.yoursite.url" or "blog.yoursite.url" because those are the only addresses to which this particular virtual host responds. We excluded "www" so ....]
    6. Now restart the Web service and check it out.

  • 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

  • Blog page no longer works, mp3 now mov

    I recently changed computers to a new iMac. After updating my podcast/blog using iWeb 2.0.4, at least three problems have occurred:
    1. some (not all) of my .mp3 files appear .mov files at iTunes
    2. the archive of the podcast page no longer works
    3. the blog page doesn't work
    When you click on the blog page, it returns this error message:
    # Exception: TypeError
    # Message : Value undefined (result of expression $(parent).select) is not object.
    # File : BlogSummary.js, Line:147
    http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=286040700
    http://www.godwhisperers.com/TheGodWhisperers/Home/Home.html

    OK. Here's what I did based on the recommendations above:
    1. I reconverted all the audio files with VBR. This seems to have stopped the conversion of .mp3 files to .mov video files.
    2. I reconstructed my blog. In hindsight, this may not have been necessary in view of #3.
    3. I published the site using File<Publish All to MobileMe. This took a LONG time; best leave it for an overnight exercise if you try this at home.
    Upon awakening in the morning, lo and behold my site and its archives had returned! The only thing that didn't work was my iTunes link, which returned the news that my podcast was not available in the US store. I was using the short link as per the tech spec:
    <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://">http://www.itunes.com/podcast?id=286040700
    This one works, however::
    http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=286040700
    So it appears that Publish All is the trick when moving up to iWeb 2.0 from 1.0. And VBR seems to keep audio files as mp3 files, for reasons I do not understand. Thank goodness this was a relatively new podcast site with only 12 episodes.
    If anyone has an explanation for the iTunes glitch above, I'd be most appreciative. I'm going to keep this thread alive until I post another episode to see what happens.
    Thanks for the help so far.

  • HT4686 How can I publish my website developed using iWeb and have all functions of the blog page work as it did with MobileMe?

    I have developed a website using iWeb and it includes a blog page selected from stock pages in iWeb.  I'm publishing it with GoDaddy and when I do that the interactive functions of the blog page don't work. (Adding comments and photos as well as searching).  Is there any simple way to host this site somewhere so that those functions work?

    No, because all those functions were MobileMe only and now that MobileMe has gone, they won't function any longer.
    To enable these to function, you either need to add them yourself or change your blogging platform to something else such as WordPress etc., and create a link from iWeb to your WordPress blog or embed the blog page using iframe into your iWeb site.
    Commenting systems such as Disqus or http://www.intensedebate.com work quite well.

  • How do you change the "read more ..." in the Blog page to something else?

    I'd like to change the "read more ..." in the Blog page to say something more relevant to my site. How can this be done?
    I searched the forums and found an earlier response to this question, but I don't quite understand it:
    Find index.xml.gz file (open: Macintosh HD ->
    Applications -> iWeb -> Contents -> Resources -> e.g.
    English.lproj -> Templates -> Blog -> e.g. White
    Blog.webtemplate -> index.xml.gz).
    Open file and edit it in TextEdit. Replace all "read
    more..." with your own text. Delete index.xml.gz file.
    I'm a little confused by this reply. To open the index.xml.gz file within the app, do you navigate there with Terminal.app, unzip it, edit the file with Text Edit, then re-gzip it?
    Second, why do you delete index.xml.gz afterwards?
    And third, will this need to be redone each time iWeb is upgraded?
    Has anyone tried this and know if this is the correct way to change the words, or is there some other way?

    This tedious process actually edits the template xml file within the iWeb application, so that it becomes the default with the template. I haven't done this before, so I'm the wrong person to advise on this.
    I tend to like to do things that are on a simpler scale. You can always make a text box with an opaque background color that matches the blog template background. Then type something else into that text box, like "click here to see more of me" Then position this text box over the standard "read more" and link the text to the blog entry.
    The downside....you'll have to do this (at least position the text box and change the link) each time you add an entry.

  • How to merge blog pages into one?

    I used iWeb and created three sites within one Domain file; each of these sites has its own blog page.
    But I haven't touched it for quite some time and would like to pick it up again. I'm at a point where I would like to simplify things: only to have one site and one blog and...
    How do I, or is there a way to, merge these blog pages into one? Consolidating these posts and comments into one single blog page?
    Your advice would be very much appreciated. (At present I'm so torn between picking up using iWeb or just start with blogger.com; the ability to preserve these messages would be key to the decision.)
    Thank you.

    You can either use <PageOverlay> to overlay the Header PDF page onto the PDF with the Body, or you could turn the Header PDF page into a <Header> DDX element. It depends on the page size of the Header PDF.
    Please be aware that if you use <Header>, the default margins for positioning the header are 1/2 inch all around. You can set this to 0 or whatever you want using the <PageMargins> element.
    An example of using PageOverlay:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <DDX xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/DDX/1.0/" >
    <PDF result="result1">
    <PDF source="PDF2"/>
    <PageOverlay>
    <PDF source="PDF1"/>
    </PageOverlay>
    </PDF>
    <PDF result="result2">
    <PDF source="PDF3"/>
    <PageOverlay>
    <PDF source="PDF1"/>
    </PageOverlay>

  • Can/How can I create a page with all my blog pages RSS??

    Hello all.
    I have a website containing many seperate Blog pages according to their topics like News, Tech and Scifi.
    Is it possible to create a new page, that will contain the latest entries of all these blog pages a one "consolidated" page, maybe perhaps of RSS feed?
    Thanks and cheers

    How can I create a page that aggregates my podcasts?
    If you have multiple podcasts listed in the iTunes Store, the iTunes staff can create a single page that lists all of them in one place. We call this page an “artist page.” Note that a podcast can only appear on one artist page.
    To request an artist page, navigate to one of your podcasts, click on Report a Concern, and select Remove a Podcast. In the dialog box, explain that you would like an artist page, give us the exact name of the artist (please don’t include “Inc,” “LLC,” etc.), and list the exact feed URLs or links to your podcasts.
    at the bottom of this page

    I hope two is enough and if not that someone contacts me and maybe even changes the info on the above link.

  • Adding a photo gallery to a blog page?

    I see the last queries about being able to do this are from 2006.  I'm wondering if it is any easier now.  I'm creating a website for a film series project.  I used a 'blog' template so I could easily manage about 20 separate films (without having scores of pages to deal with).  Right now each of those 'blog' pages has a large number of free floating photos (shots from the film).  They take too long to load.  I'm wondering if I could create a photo gallery instead, ON the blog entry page, that would contain the pics, and allow for fast loads?
    Just wondering how one might create a photo gallery on a 'blog' entry page.
    Ben

    Having looked at your site, I would say that you layout is very artistic and would be completely ruined by using a photos template.
    DPI doesn't realy come into it as this is used for print. iWeb does have image optimization but its better to turn it off and reduce the image to the dimensions (in px) that it will appear on the web page before dragging it into the app.
    If you want to maximise the SEO and make the pages more interesting for us humans, I would add descriptive captions to the images and put them in the spaces between the staggered image layout.
    If you are comtemplating designing for mobile devices, you need to use every trick in the book to to reduce file sizes and cut content to the bone.
    I have been using responsive designs for quite a while now and learned a lot of hard lessons along the way on what works and what doesn't on mobile devices. Some more examples HERE.
    iPads are big enough for a traditional website to work on them as long as you pay attention to making the links and other user controls finger sized. I did figure out a way to make an iPhone compatible site using iWeb if you are interested...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Mobile-iWeb.html
    I must admit that I detest Wordpress although there are some responsive desgns available now. I did a test with one of the free ones but its a total pain and there doesn't appear to be any plugins for HTML5, responsive media players. I had to figure this out all on my own. If you click the Blog button on this page you should get there.

  • Photos in text of blog entry do not port to main blog page

    I have posted before about the photos from my entry page disappearing when ported to my main blog page. I have yet to find a solution so I'm asking for help again.
    I'm am trapped using iWeb 1.1 until I find a solution. I use the Modern Template with modifications. Usually I delete the snowboarding surfer placeholder. Please note I'm not concerned that this photo doesn't port. I don't want it to. I do however need the photos that I have embedded via text wrap within my blog entry to port to the main blog page. They do not.
    I have tried keeping the snowboarder place holder and redoing entries with wrapped text, but my additional photos are still missing. I have checked the box in iWeb 2 that says show photos. My layouts conveted to iWeb 2 look perfect on the entry's page, and horrible with missing photos on the summary page.
    This problem is beyond frustrating. My blog can be seen here, however it is still the iWeb 1.1 format.
    http://web.mac.com/knittsings/iWeb/knittsings/knittsings/knittsings.html
    As you can see, almost all my entries have numerous photos. I want them to display on the main blog page.
    Am I missing something very basic? I have seen others with this same question but no one seems to have had any luck resolving this problem.
    Thanks,
    Kathryn

  • Could an iWeb blog page be modified to...

    ...parse wordpress entries so that they appear "iWeb'sh" even though being created and maintained in Wordpress?

    I'm having similar problems with the automatic RSS Feed link that the iWeb blog page uses.
    I also figured I could create my own custom RSS icon/link for the page, but that still doesn't resolve the issue for the RSS Feed link that is automatically generated by the Firefox or Safari browsers I'm online with a MobileMe Support rep now (crossed fingers)

  • Photos on front blog page

    Hi. I know that in my blog, I have a choice in the inspector as to how many lines show up on the main blog page -- none or all of them. But what I can't figure out is it I can also show the photo(s) in the entry(ies) without making a person click on "read more."
    If you look at sites at blogger.com, you can just see everything without ever clicking, unless of course if you want to leave a comment.
    Just wondering if this functionality is somewhere and I missed it.
