Linking iWeb to another website

Hi All,
I have read the previous post about linking iWeb to another website, but I am a complete newbie to web design and need it explained to me in extreme basics.
I purchased a name from a company called 123-Reg in the UK. As part of the setup they allow you to create a web page using simple software. I have created a page with them and simply added a link to the iWeb page.
This works, but ideally I would like people to be automatically connected to my iWeb page when they type in the url I bought.
Has anybody else bought a url from 123 Reg and managed to do this?
Any comments welcome.
Thanks
Iain

I think you want to check out domain forwarding. I just looked at the 123reg web site and it looks like they offer it. Click on domains and then see if there is a web site forwarding or domain forwarding option. I do this as well. I purchased aztecwrestling.com from GoDaddy, but it brings up my iweb site www.mac.com/aztecwrestling. This way anyone who types in aztecwrestling.com is directed to my site. It is up to you whether you also want to show your iweb URL or your purchased URL after they are redirected to your site.

Can you link to another website in iWeb?

Hi everyone,
Is there a way in iWeb to use a page to navigate to another website i.e. Blogger?
Many thanks!

I'm sure it can be done in iWeb :
Add a link to the navbar
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
Or use the method on this page :
     http://www.wyodor.net/mfi/global/
Or use this code :
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>

Will google list a splash page made within another website in iWeb?

I've tried submitting a website to google multiple times but they aren't picking it up/listing it. I'm wondering if that is because it is set up as a splash page within another website. I'm trying to get nateweldon.com listed, but it is built within the seaserpentrecords.com website I made in iWeb. It is a hidden page I've set up within seaserpentrecords.com to save money on hosting. Any tips to make nateweldon.com searchable in google?
Thanks so much for any help.
Ellen

Where do you publish your website - MobileMe or another server?
Are you using masking to forward the domain name - nateweldon.com ?
Splash pages and masking are two of the things to be avoided with SEO.
If you have only one root folder on your server you need to publish the nateweldon site as a sub site with its own folder so that its URL is...
http://www.seaserpentrecords.com/nateweldon/
Create and upload a sitemap.xml for the above URL and upload it to the nateweldon folder....

Uploading a finished website to iWeb on another mac

I finished a website on my macbook pro using iWeb. I now need to transfer the files and website to iWeb on a different macbook pro. OS and iWeb versions are identical. Is there a function in iWeb where I can upload an existing iWeb site to another macbook pro? I saved the files to a USB Drive using the publish function, but I do not know how to upload this site (and files) to iWeb on a different macbook pro.
Thanks for your help!

Go to the Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on your MBP and copy the Domain.sites file to the same folder on the other MBP.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
If there's no iWeb folder on the other MBP create one and put the domain file in it. Launch iWeb and it should located the domain file and open it. If there's alread a domain file on the other Mac rename it to Domain2.sites before adding the domain file.
Now you'll have to do the following to open the domain file with iWeb:
To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Hi Jeff I have uninstalled Muse from my applications and have tried to download the new version but it displays a message 'file not found'. I have included a screenshot.

If I try and follow a link from another website to open another I get awclick.php (GIF Image 1x1) pixels in a new tab instead of the web page I want.

I was trying to open a website as a link from another website and I get a new tab that says

I can open the website without clicking on a link to it by just typing in the address but as this is a cash back site I am linking from it doesn't help!

You're welcome

Can I make another website using iWeb,then publish it to a different server through the SMTP panel on iWeb

Can I make another website using iWeb, and then publish it to a different server through the SMTP panel on iWeb, even though I have a website published on mobile me, can I just use the SMTP engine to publish a different site but to a different server, that's the question I'm asking. I'm hoping for a quick reply. Thank you for your time in reading this.

Yes. You can do it one of two ways:
1 - select FTP Server in the Publish To menu (click on the site folder to get to the options) and enter the FTP address, username and password and publish as you would if using MMe.
2 - select Publish to Folder and publish. Use a 3rd party FTP client like Cyberduck to upload the site files to there server using the FTP address, etc.

How do I change the directory that iWeb uploads my website to?

I uploaded my company website to my server using the FTP function in iWeb, but rather than putting it in the main directory (/public_html) it created a sub-directory within the main directory (/public_html/my company name) and put it in there. I used another FTP program to move everything back into the main directory, but now when I make a change to the site using iWeb it again puts the changed pages into a sub-folder. These new/changed pages therefore don't appear on my site on the internet. Can anyone please advise how I can get the changes I've made on iWeb into my website online?

I know that there are mixed views on whther this is a good
idea.
Fortunately - Firefox users have a new Tab appear rather than
a whole
window - which in my view is much better.
I don't have a beta version of IE7 - does this do the same -
that
would be progress IMHO.
