My blog page alignment on Safari is wrong although it's fine in iWeb.

Varkgirl and James — I have emailed you both a screenshot of my iWeb blog page and my Safari blog page.
The iWeb blog page is on top of the Safari blog page (the same blog page).
You will observe that whereas all of the text and pictures are centered on my iWeb page, the Safari page has the picture and the text way farther to the left, right against the left margin.
THE SUSPICIOUS THING:
On my iWeb blog page, the horizontal spread of the margins combined with the text space is very very wide. Wider, it seems, than other pages.
About a month ago I noticed that the text and picture were far far to the left but the reason for it remained a mystery to everyone. Today I figured I would go back, turn the page white so I could check for margins, and reposition the picture and text. I did that.
In spite of clearing the cache and the history and going to an outside, the page as you see it on the screenshot remains with the text and picture jammed way to the left.
HERE IS MY CONCERN:
I could live with this; it's not that bad looking. But I always suspect that little things such as this could be little signals of impending doom. Like when your brake pedal starts getting soft... you know that if this keeps up, you're going to go flying off the cliff while careening down the 405 Freeway.
This makes me anxious because there is no explanation and thus no fix, and only the suspicion of future catastrophe, about which I can do nothing. 8-(

Lorna,
I checked your blog page. Here is the URL...
http://web.mac.com/lorna6/iWeb/Website%20of%20Lorna%20
Alexander/Stories,%20Fantasies%20Blog/Stories,%20Fanta
sies%20Blog.html
Everything looks centered to me.
OK, good. That means that the end product is OK........ and the only irregularity is that wide blog page.......... wider than my other pages. I will do what you said. And the page looks oK now because I went to iWeb, changed the page to white so I could SEE, expanded the width of the work space including margins, and re-centered the picture and text. the margins are much wider apart on this page than on the other pages.
I hope this is not the equivalent of the brakes going soft............

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?

Phone Blog page is loading wrong

I recently updated this website: http://cmmconstruction.businesscatalyst.com
On the phone version only (Blog page only too) - the header and objects created in muse seem to shift smaller than 100% which only happens when there is an iframe on the page.
Things I've tried:
- Make the iframe width at 100%
- specify the iframe width less than the width of the page
- put iframe on separate layer below the objects created in muse
could the problem be the coding from Tumblr theme?
Any solutions would be much appreciated, Thanks

Not really. I do see that in the blog page there is a section commented -  - in which there are overrides for the iframe size if certain media sources are shown. Don't have the time to check the entire source, but there could be similar overrides involved further down. Just a thought. Like you say, the code coming out of Muse seems fine. My first test would be to eliminate the blog URL from the iframe and put something else in it - something really benign like a 'Hello world' page. If the iframe behaves, then you'll have a clue that it's something in the blog's code that is causing the problem.

Pictures on Home Page of blog not right, duplicating and in wrong place

I have a food blog, upgraded to 09. Now, some of the pictures are repeating on home page and don't match entries. When you click on entry from home page, it's fine. Started in past week.
www.spinachtiger.com

When I had done a complete upload of one of my sites, call it site A, everything looked alright.
Then I still had a small background issue on one of my old sites, say site B; part of the background was not of the right colour. When I did a complete publish of site B, I got an error message that one image object ....png could not be saved. There is no way to know which image that would be. So there is but to continue the publish. And indeed the little background issue was solved now.
However, when I started iWeb again, I got a list of missing images. Guess where those images were missing. In site A, the whole blog summary page was empty. So actually fixing/publishing site B resulted in a bad site A blog page.
So I did my usual trick again (disable/enable comments) and lo and behold there my images popped up again. As the whole entries folder was now red, I thought it better to publish this part again. I checked the rss feed and this was still ok.
Conclusion: there is unwanted interference over several sites.
If you only have one site with one blog you won't have this kind of trouble. But still it is a matter Apple should see to. It severely limits the use of iWeb, in particular blogs.
I'll let you know how things develop, when I start adding entries to my other site/blog C.

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.

Font problem in excerpts on blog page

Hi everyone!
When I create a new blog entry, the font style that I choose is fine on the entries page, but not reflected in the excerpt on the main blog page. This wouldn't be a problem except that I and many of my readers are sight-impaired, and the font that won't change is very, very pale. I've tried everything I can think of to rectify this, but no luck! Is this something that I'm doing wrong?

Patricia,
I downloaded and modified your Blog.css file, you can download it here:
http://www.geocities.com/[email protected]/landis_mdi/Blog.css
I changed the font and made the font color darker. You need to do:
1) Locate your Blog.css file in your iDisk, it should be in Blog_files folder.
2) Rename the current Blog.css file to ~Blog.css. In case you would like to reverse the change.
3) Place the modified Blog.css file in Blog_files folder.
Open your main Blog.html and refresh the page to see if that's what you like.

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)

Blog pages will not advance in correct order ( previous & next )

Has anyone run into this?
My Blog is being used as an instruction manual, with each entry a new instruction. To show the first entires at the top, I have started with a date in the future (12/31/2010) and worked backward day by day so the newest entries would be the last in the list. Until a few days ago, it worked fine.
However, I recently inserted a couple of entires, and I aligned the dates correctly. The "next" button, instead of going in this order 17-18-19-20-21, goes in this order: 17-20-21-19-18. I have republished all of these, rechecked, and etc. Still the same problem.
Does anyone have any ideas for what I should try next? Please help ... Thanks.
Here's the link for the first offending page (#17 that jumps to #20).

I have a similar problem - or perhaps the same. The previous and next buttons work perfectly within iWeb, but when I publish, the buttons don't advance in the order of the blog pages in the archive. I don't think this is about the creation or modified date.
You can view this at:

and click on "next" to see it skip from the June 23 to the July 3 entry. The intervening entries (usually 1 per day) are somehow at the end of the deck.
Any ideas, please? I would ideally like to keep the previous and next buttons linked as intended, vs. linking them to one of my pages.
Thoughts, please? Thanks.

Why is my updated blog page not uploading?

I am having a problem getting my new entry updated blog page to upload to my website. Is there a step I'm not doing and cannot find an answer in the "help" section or in here. I have done it before with ease. I have my upload ftp info all filled out correctly. I am not using a 3rd party app. Is there something I am to delete before the newer page is uploaded? Can't figure this out.

How do you know it's not uploading? If iWeb indicates that it has uploaded all files and it's not showing it could be as simple as clearing your browser's cache (Command+Option+E for Safari) and reloading the page.

IWeb pages, blog pages, tags and html snippets

I use Rage seo tool and Bluehost
Can I add tags to blog pages to support seo?
Now that Google bots look for "structured data" in pages, can I add an html snippet to pages containing something like:
<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization">
   <span itemprop="name">Noosa Therapy Studio, Doonan</span>
   Located at
   <div itemprop="address" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/PostalAddress">
      <span itemprop="streetAddress">92 Marnie Cres</span>,
      <span itemprop="addressLocality">Doonan</span>,
      <span itemprop="addressRegion">Noosa</span>.
   </div>
<img itemprop="logo" src="http://www.noosatherapy.com/Logo.png" />
   Phone: <span itemprop="telephone">(07) 5471 1752</span>
   <a href="http://noosatherapy.com/Therapies" itemprop="url">http://noosatherapy.com/Therapies</a>
</div>
Or am I on the wrong track?
Thanks

The code you provided is not meta code. You don't paste in the head of the webpage.
Well, you can paste it there and the browser will render it.
It's code that should be in the body of a webpage.
And if you paste it there, make sure the info is correct.
This :
<a href="http://noosatherapy.com/Therapies" itemprop="url">http://noosatherapy.com/Therapies</a>
should be :
<a href="http://noosatherapy.com/Therapies.html" itemprop="url">http://noosatherapy.com/Therapies.html</a>
And I wonder if SEO is so good.
If I search for Noosa Therapy Studio Doonan
http://www.google.com/search?q=Noosa+Therapy+Studio+Doonan
I do find your post in this forum. And also your Google+ page. But no pages from you website.
But if I search with :
http://www.google.nl/search?q=Noosa+Therapy+Studio+Doonan
I find two events from May last year :
Noosa Therapy Studio Events
Noosa Therapy Studio, Doonan opens for business
Note that .nl is from the other side of the globe.
No wonder I wasn't at the event.
Also note that I used the words from your webpage: Noosa Therapy Studio Doonan
It means I know about you. Because you advertised your business in the forum.
Also, if I want to find one who does The Therapy in Doonan Queensland, I still do not find you :
http://www.google.com/search?q=Noosa+Therapy+Doonan+Qld
Perhaps your business name and domainname is not very unique. With 72,700 hits it looks like everybody is doing it in your area.

Adding blog page + First upload - Takes a while! - Then watch it fly!

I just thought that I would share this with everyone
Having been running my site for quite a while now, without too many problems I decided that it was time to add a blog!
I follow this forum and one thing that I have noticed in the past is comments about upload time. But luckily for me this has never really been a problem, I add one page and upload it, and never has it been unreasonable (a couple of times I had to resubmit because it didn't like a picture). But I have never changed the picture, just hit Publish again! So I was really shocked last night when I published my first blog page, two failures due to pictures and on the third attempt it went through, but it did take a loooong time..
Looking at my iDisk, all of the .html files in the top level folder were modified during upload, but I stuck with it.
Today I added a second entry to my blog, and I must say, WOW! Back to the old speed that i love and know!
It seems that the first blog creation takes a while but after this all is back to normal.

Jo
Yes photos in both blogs.
I have two photos the same as you, one large (I should have resized!), one not. When viewing the site you only see the smaller one.
Yes I have RSS, and when I click the button, in safari, I get an RSS feed of my blog and the large images are there as icons, which when clicked load in safari.
I am just off to resize them now, i think 800*600 should be enough.

Missing text in posts in Archive on Blog page

I need help! When I go back through my archive on my blog page for the previous 10 months through iWeb, my entries start to appear as first, missing the text, and further back, missing text and pics! I am using it as a digital diary of my baby's development so am freaking out a bit. Any idea's on what is going wrong?? Thank you!

Welcome to the discussions. It's a common problem:
_blog archives missing text but photos still show_
_Blank Blog Archive Page?_
...and you may find more threads by searching for "archive" in the +Search Forum+ bar on this forum's main page.

Basically iWeb's blog is buggy and, in the end, it comes down to this:
_To blog or not to blog_

My main blog page can't find its entry pages

When I make iWeb blog entry pages, the main blog page can't find them. It says "Error. The file cannot be found." (even if I just use the placeholder "Blue bird day" page without changing it!) I'm dragging my image onto the placeholder image on the (Modern) Blog entry page but the main Blog pag can't find it or even the placeholder image on an unmodified new blog entry page. I am publishing to a file and ftp-ing it up to my ISP but I get the "file cannot be found" message even on my own hard drive before uploading. What's wrong?
The blog page of my site is:
http://www.christopherrauschenberg.com/Site/Blog/Blog.html
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Well, not sure of a complete solution for you, but I have found a specific problem.
From the main blog page. . . the link it gives for New York is
http://www.christopherrauschenberg.com/Site/Blog/429B84A8-BD4B-4B30-8A66-017811D F742E.html
However, in checking the directory, looks like that is labeled instead as
http://www.christopherrauschenberg.com/Site/Blog/429B84A8-BD4B-4B30-_124C76.html
That would explain why it couldn't be found.
A little further checking or your root directory shows similar mismatches between various page index files and the folders containing data.
Have you published and uploaded portions at a time? Is ossible after changes we made that all changes were not published.
It might be best to clean out the FTP folder, republish your whole site from iWeb to a folder on your computer and re-FTP it to your site (making sure to enter correct url of your site on the publish screen as well).
(if you think I helped in any way, I'd appreciate it if you could mark my reply as either "solved" or "helpful" using the little buttons in the title bar of the reply. Manythanx! )
Good luck!

My blog page alignment on Safari is wrong although it's fine in iWeb.
