Making comments on blog entries?

How do you allow readers to comment on your blog entries? So that others can read their comments?
Thanks!

Have a look here (you would have found it with a short search ;-)):

Restore Comments in blog entries?

Had some mess with iWeb 2.x and returned to iWeb 1.x
Now all blog comments are gone. Is there any chance to restore them?
Thanks, willi

Does anybody know how the comments are stored in iWeb 2.0? And even better: how in iWeb 1.x? I would like to restore them from 2 to 1.
Your help would be very appreciated. Thank you.

Possible to move Blog entry w/ comments from one blog to another?

Is it possible to take a blog entry and comments from (iWeb) Blog #1 and put them into (iWeb) Blog #2? I can see how moving the pictures and text would be easy......... but I also see that moving Comments might be a No-No.

Hi Lorna
well I did it just last night. I copied and pasted and the page is still fully functional.
I don't know what the "experts" would say but ya can't get much more "hands on expert" than the fact that I just did it and it worked.
I made a page below my blog in iWeb. Then I just copied & pasted to the new one. I had to adjust on the page (move to fit for the new format) and I had to rename the "entries." Then I deleted the old blog and renamed the new one in iweb.

How to reverse blog entry' s comments?

Today, 14 November 2009, I am still searching for a solution to reverse the ante-chronological order in blog summary and blog archive pages in iWeb.
Or should I asked for a resolution to reverse blog entry’s comments?

New blog entries experience "error updating .Mac", and no "add comments"

Blog always worked fine. Now new blog entries get error updating .Mac message. New post does appear online, but there is no Add Comments option, despite it being selected in the inspector. Also, the blog main page doesn't show a title in the title bar at top. Might this have something to do with the new Mobile Me features (which I haven't tried or signed up for). When I delete the new posting and publish, it publishes fine. This error even happens with the template pg, so it's not anything to do with my formatting. Thanks for your help.

I have not tried publishing a new Blog entry since the new "me" thing, but I did try just a text edit on an existing Entry and republished the Entry. It seemed to function normally.
However, all of my Comments are missing from all my Blog entries - although the hit counts are still there.
And my Slide Shows won;t work and thumbnails won't enlarge on my photo pages.
Everything was working perfectly before this big "improvement" we just got.
I sure hope this is temporary or I just might throw a fit. There was a lot of valuable stuff in those comments, and if there won;t be a Comments function at all, I won't be able to keep my blog at mac. com or me whatever.
Why fix what isn't broken?

Blog entry didn't show up on blog summary page. ¿Por qué?

RE: Blog
Last night I wrote a blog entry, but the first few sentences did NOT show up on the blog summary page. I previously had set the blog entry length to be short (toggled far to the left), but there is a difference between a short length and NO length at all.
Why do you suppose this happened?
INFORMATION: Prior to writing the blog entry I was having difficulty with the picture not showing up on the blog entry page, and in trying to edit it and move text around I might have messed up some registration lines, or LINES. Could that have had an effect? I must say that of all the things involved in iWeb, this Blog feature has given me the most problems and made me the angriest. Just thinking about it right now has created a tight knot in my chest.

Go back to your main blog summary page in iWeb. Open
the Inspector to the RSS tab and slide the text
excert slider to show ALL (all the way to the right).
Does ANY of your blog text show up in this
particular entry?
.......... Lorna says ................................................
Well, Inspector Tseng, I toggled to the *Show All* position, and heheheh, none of the blog entry showed on the blog summary page.
If not, then perhaps you entered
your text in a different text box....did you add a
text box to the page? If it does, then maybe you
have some preceding spaces in the text box? Or
maybe you inserted a photo into the text box
inadvertently?
.......... Lorna says ................................................
James, last night I was having so many dang blasted flippin cockamamie problems with the picture that I moved a bunch of things around and recall making a new text box and typing into it. Grrrr.
I am going to return there and copy and paste and delete that page. I feel very bad that I cannot master the blog after so much stupid time. I also think that the blog needs to be more idiot proofed so that normally OK actions in other iWeb scenarios don't end up as yet another disaster on the ash heap of broken iWeb dreams.

How do I change the order of blog entries?

How can I change the order of my blog entries? I want to add some extra items with an earlier date but iWeb won't let me drag the entries around and insists they must stay in the order of the creation date. What do I do?

Chris...
yeah, I'm probably not making myself clear... change the date on the podcast page entry. Select the entry you want to edit, then move your mouse down to the actual page that appears below. On that page, below the title, is a date. Change that. It will change the date published in the entry list above.

This is the standard listing... day spelled out, Month and day number, year. iWeb has to see it in this format to make the changes above.

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.

Page formatting is out of whack after comments, new blogs, etc

I just started my website with iWeb and i'm already having problems. I first noticed this when I added a 7th blog entry and the white background on the blog listing page was not big enough for all the information there, so it shifted to a midpoint...it's difficult to explain... (pics should be helpful, keep reading)
I figured out a way to fix it, change the page layout dimensions, publish, change the layout back, and publish again - and it works! I was happy I found that, until i saw that every time someone would comment a blog or a picture, the page would become screwed up like that and i'd have to go through every page with a comment and fix it.
here are pictures of the problem (the white background should be covering the page top to bottom.

Or you can check out the site yourself. add a comment to a picture and watch the formatting screw itself over. www.calinchrist.com

Iweb help - blog entries problem

Hello,
I am trying to create a highly customized blog in iweb '08 and so far am doing very well, all the pages look perfect over all browsers however i have tried to edit the blog entries page but am having grave difficulty, i have set the page attributes to 1300 high and 1300 wide copied over the design but now i cant move the generated blog content title and time/date above half way up the page. This is highly annoying does anyone have any idea why this might be happening?
I removed all the content from my 'sidebar' and it let me move the content up the page as soon as i put the sidebar back it wont work
Thanks
Richard Howell

it would help if we could see the messed up pages. otherwise we can only guess what's happening. my guess is that you have somehow dropped the content into the header making the header really big and thus why you can't move the blog all the way up. a way to check is to show the layout. and see if there's a grey line above where the blog is sitting.

My iWeb Blog entries are not showing on MobileMe. Help!

When I click on the link from the Blog Summaries to one one my Blog Entries I get a 'Not Found' page - all published to MobileMe with the latest iWeb. These llinks have always worked before. The problem has been apparent for two days now. What can or will be done to correct this?

Does your blog have comments by visitors? If not you can move your blog to a new server and only lose the ability to search the blog. But if you have visitor comments included in your blog you will lose those comments when moving to a new server.
If you do have visitor comments post back and I'll give links to a method that can be used to convert your blog w/comments to a WordPress blog.

I want to insert a picture into a body of text in a blog entry page.

This has me stumped. I did it once but cannot do it again.
How can I place a picture into a body of text? I have a print-out from the HELP menu but it is not clear. It talks of inline and fixed objects. I think I want a fixed object -- one that does not move along with the text as the text grows/moves along the page incrementally.
Because I am working with the photo on a blog entry page I cannot do the Choose Insert > Choose > Select the file, and click insert. I cannot because (1) The picture has to stay on the page in that Magic Frame, and (2) the choosing capability of the iWeb program does not enable someone to go inside the iWeb program and land on a certain page.
I am working on the blog page. Instead of a tiny little picture of a doll at the top of the page, I want to raise all of the text and put the little doll's head inside the text body.
I am so stumped. The instructions are not clear at all.

Well i did exactly what your trying to do...go to
http://www.mac-switch.com
and view the blog "power button shortcut"
Go to the section you want to add the photo
to...Click "insert" then "choose" and choose the file
you want to put in there.
Good luck
Rob.
Hi Rob......
You know, I went to that Power Button Shortcut blog and for the life of me, your point went flying over my brains -- I just did not get what point you were making to me. The Power Button thing was not what I was trying to do. I was trying to put a PICTURE of a doll's head inside a body of text. That means I had to get text wrap to kick in, and..........
But the bottomest line is, I finally did it. I don't know how I did it because I was in a state of just clicking around, trying to move text. It's a long story to duplicate, but I went through several steps and since it was just desperation moves I was doing, I don't have a set of notes to go by for the next time.
The hard part, or one of them, was to get the Text Inspector to make he Text Wrap workable. For a long time , no matter what I did, the Text Wrap option remained greyed out. It was maddening. Then for reasons that I cannot recreate in an orderly fashion, I got the Text Wrap option to get bolded out, and thus an option.
Thank you for trying. BTW, I think your pages look wonderful and very slick (which I think is the right look for what you want to do with your website).

Blog entry in iWeb via e-mail?

Hello,
I have an iWeb blog on MobileMe and wondering if it is possible to add blog entries via e-mail? (This feature would be very handy if one is away from his Mac...)
Thanks,
Attila

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you don't have a lot of comments and posts to your current blog I urge you to give careful consideration to what Ethmoid suggests.
The "commercial" blogging sites are so much more robust and versatile and have the capability of being posted to from any computer anywhere and from mobile devices, i.e. smart phones or iPads.
You can design the site to approximate the design of your iWeb site and embed it into a page of your site like in this demo: Embed a Site Within an iWeb Page.
In the long run I think you'll be much better off if you can convert now.

Drag multiple photos to create many blog entries at once?

I wanted to make many blog entries at once from some photos. This is trying to catch up with many entries at once, and make basically photo pages with one photo and more than just a caption (like you get with a photo page).
I did this by the usual method when I first tried iweb (try something, it works...). Then I noticed that it just assigned today's date to all the entries. I didn't want that, so I deleted all of them. Then I found out you could edit the dates...
Now, I want to recreate all those entries again, and I can't for the life of me repeat that initial 'try it, it works' of just making many blog entries all at the same time. I can't remember if it was a drag in, or what...
help!
Doesn't help that iweb goes to SBOD when I first open the media browser for 10 min...

Peter...
I have not tried this myself, so I'm not sure if this is what you did....but try this...
In iPhoto, select all the photos (Apple-click to select multiple photos) that you want to send to your blog pages. Then do you see the iWeb icon at the bottom of the iPhoto window there??? Click on it and select "publish to photoblog". See if this is what you were looking for...
