My iWeb's main blog page has photos of entries all mixed up

My site is egsilberman.com and all but the main blog page is functioning. The index.html looks perfect, the page listing all the blog pages using the index.html in the browser looks as it should.
But after uploading the site to my FTP - using iWeb SEO Tool - the main landing page of the blog has all the photos, except the most recent entry, mixed up. The blog entries are in order, listed according to date, but the photos associated with the entries - the key photos shown on the main blog page - are all goofed up: randomly placed throughout the entries.
Oddly, all the blog pages are functioning fine. It's just the main blog landing photos that're off.
On the iWeb side I've reloaded everything from scratch...trashed caches, plists, etc, but it doesn't seem to be the problem. Again, the index.html site and blog (main page) are all in order. I'm not an expert by any means, so the change in the blog is confounding me. It was working fine until earlier this week.
Is it the SEO uploader? My FTP/host? Something I could do to help? I do not know what to do. Any advice or direction would be appreciated.
Thanks for considering this question.
Evan

Roddy, thank you for many things.
Firstly, for your clear direction in encouraging me to upload my site AFTER SEO'ing it using a dedicated FTP. I used Cyberduck. Then, following the line of thinking that the index.html needed to be uploaded as well, I did that. Simple as it sounds it took a bit of courage on my part.
This got my blog summary page photos back in line with their individual entries.
Bigger still was seeing that the index.html file I uploaded made a /Site/ reference to the "Site" folder that's local on my desktop but not present in my server's folder. And seeing this in the browser address bar, I altered the text of the index.html by eliminating the /Site. Cyberduck offered ways to do this. I pushed save.
Cedric at http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWeb_Folder_FTP.html has a helpful step by step on using FTP and Cyberduck. I followed his instruction as I went.
As tiny as this is to those of you who know the workings of your sites, it, for me, is like looking under the hood of a car and being ABLE to fix it. Not something I normally do. Maybe it'll break down in a mile. But for now it's fixed, and humming along.
I'm looking now toward getting an optimization app. If I'm correct, and I follow your publishing workflow path, Roddy, http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Website-Publishing-Wo rkflow.html, I will, after optimizing, then upload again to my server - using the post-optimized folder as the final source of feeding the server. Then you list other steps - uploading new sitemaps to all the major search engines - I purchase Rage's Sitemap Automater - will use that for that.
There is a methodical flow to all this, and I will learn it and implement it. Leaving MobileMe and moving to FTP and FTP practices was a leap.
Thanks again for your help.

Accidentel erase and fix of main blog page

2 things, I accidently erased the "Go to archive" link from my main blog page and I can't get it back, also on the main blog page it doesn't show all my entries only a few but if I look at the Archive or the entries page they are all there. Any Suggestions?

There are a few steps you need to go through to make this all work. There also may be a better solution.
1) DNS: You need to have 10.5 Server running DNS.
a) Under the Zones Tab: You must have a ZONE setup for your domain name... this must be fully qualified (ie. mydomain.com. - the trailing period is important).
b) You must have MACHINE records setup for both of your intended subdomains (ie. kids, parents). You'll want the IP address associated with each of these to match the public IP address that your domain host is pointing at.
c) Don't forget to SAVE (Restarting the service wouldn't hurt either).
2) Web: In the Sites pane you need two entries (one for each subdomain... a third if you would like to use the www.mydomain.com).
a) Under the "General" Tab: Each entry should be set to port 80 with IP Address set to "any". You can specify unique Web Folders at this stage, though you shouldn't have to if you're using the default Wiki/Blog service.
b) Under the Aliases Tab: Be sure that none of the Sites entries include "*" as an Web Server Alias. This will cause all traffic to be directed at that entry. Add the full subdomain address under Web Server Alias for each entry (ie. kids.mydomain.com).
c) Under the Aliases Tab: Add a rule to the URL Aliases and Redirects. Type: RedirectMatch Pattern: ^/$ Path: /groups/kids/ (or whatever the path to the kid's group is). Now any request for kids.mydomain.com/ will be rewritten kids.mydomain.com/groups/kids/ The RedirectMatch rule wouldn't be necessary if you later decide to abandon Apple's Wiki/Blog - you can simply change the Web Folder setting to point to whatever files you'd like to serve.
d) Be sure to click SAVE (Again, restarting the service wouldn't hurt either).

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

And that's the way it should be.

Changed theme on main blog page, lost all entries

I am updating the site visually and was attempting to change the theme as I had done with other pages, but nothing was happening. Fortunately, I had done a save before going starting on this page. So, I noted that I had NO entries on my blog, so I reverted to saved version. My problem remains, I have a blank entry page. The main blog page is ok and shows my entries and the archive option, but when I try to actually go to an entry or make a new entry, nothing happens or IWeb will crash. Any suggestions appreciated. I can go back to last night's backup, but I will lose all my other page changes I worked on this morning which would be a bummer!

If you're publishing to MobileMe, live chat support is now 24/7 — see this announcement.
Problems with iWeb's blog are a recurring theme on these forums. An alternative to iWeb's blog is to hyperlink from your iWeb site to a free Posterous blog, perhaps via their Posterous Blog Widget — see here.
Or there's WordPress:

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!

Maximum Number of Blog Entries on the Main Blog Page

I would like to increase the number of Blog entries on my Main Blog page beyond the limit of 50 allowed through the Inspector Panel in iWeb 09. Does anyone know a work-around to this limitation?
Thanks, -JAS

Try creating a new blog page that looks identical to the current blog you have. Then once you start a new blog on the new blog template you just created, simply make a button or text link to your other blog. If I'm not mistaken you can create as many blog templates as you wish.
Please let me know if I'm wrong.

Help - main blog page completely empty?

Hello - I've been using this blog or 2 years and all of a sudden the main blog page is completely empty.

I can navigate to individual pages (through idisk/mobile me), but the main blog page with entries is mysteriously gone?
working entry: http://web.me.com/mikejdunlap/Site/BLOG/Entries/2010/12/13Peppermint_&_Chocolate_BarkCookies.html
I've tried republishing but still get the same white, empty page. Any help would be appreciated.

Edge Animate file working on main blog page but not on the individual blog post in BC

I recently uploaded an edge animate file to my blog which is host on Business Catalyst (BC). The edge file works on the main blog page but not on the individual blog post. How can I solve this problem?
I did the following steps:
I added the required Adobe Edge scripts on my main blog template.
Create folder on the server called "edge_includes" and uploaded the 'edge.5.0.0.min' file.
Create folder on the server called "js" and uploaded the 'jquery-1.7.1.min' file.
Copy and pasted the div to the part of the blog post I wanted the file to appear (<div id="Stage" class="EDGE-13973370"></div>).
Uploaded the name of the js file to the root called 'World of Code_edge.'
Uploaded the images to the existing folder called 'images.'

I'm still unable to figure out the problem.
Here is the link to the blog: http://goo.gl/sPW62j (the post titled "Basic Computer Science is a Fundamental Skill in the 21st Century Society").
Here is the link to the individual post: http://goo.gl/jTSgZH
Also, I get mixed results on the main blog page. Sometimes the image (Edge Animate file) on the main page shows and other times it does not. However, the image never shows on the individual blog post.

Font goes gray on main blog page...

My entries become a monotone color on the main blog page. Underlined font, doesn't get displayed as underlined on the main page. Anyone know how to fix this? Ideally I just want people to be able to read my blog on the main page without having to click "read more"--so I display the whole article length on the main page. Any tips on this and other subjects related to displaying your whole blog on the main page would help.

Really a bit lost now.
You've got me with the length slider, please tell me where I'm supposed to be looking, this would be helpful to me. But the reason I am a little lost is that you said you want the whole entry in your main blog page and complaining because you couldn't do it, now you say you can.
Also, I don't doubt you have seen websites with non linked text underlined, but that doesn't mean it is proper protocol.

Making blank templates into my main Blog page (iWeb 1.1)

How do I make a blank template into the welcome page where all the blog entries will show up.
See I like the gazette template but I don't like the two collums on the blog page. I just want the one column on the page (I can delete the itims in one colum but it will still have that ugly stripe on the bakground). Well I can copy the things I want unto the blank template but how do I make that my welcome page so that when I make blog entries it will show up on that blank page?

Sorry I think I am confusing everybody. And not having all the names right etc. it is very confusing explaining what happens.
When you select Blog from a template. THat is what you will see when you visit somebodies site (if that is the only thing on there). We will call that the homepage. Well the Blog that I select (Gazette) has 3 colums. I only want 2. I don't want the colum all the way on the right side. I can delete all those entrie but it leaves a line there (that is the way that template works). But all my entries will show up with that line going through it.
Now I thought let's get the blank template and copy everything I need from the Blog template unto the blank template. It looks awesome. Except now I can't put blog entries into that blank template because it will make those entry in my blog template.
My question was if there is an easy way to make that blank template which looks like the blog template (with one less colum) my homepage which will include the new entries that I will make. Like somhow convert it to a blog template so it will have the arrow on the side which you can click and it will show you the entries and the archive.
But I think that link will work. I will get a blog template. Clean it and make it blank. And copy the content from the gazette template unto the clean blank blog template (that will include the blog entries). That is what I want.
So yes I think your link is the solution to my problem.

Help needed with iWeb- setting up Blog page

I have set up a website including a "blog" page using iWeb. I see that viewers can "subscribe" to the blog- but when I click on the subscribe button- I get an error message. What do I need to do so viewers can subscribe to my blog?

Since you do not provide factual information it is difficult to guess.
Where is the blog? And what is the message?
Anyway, let me guess. Your URL has no sitename in it.
If so, the rss feed links are broken.

Published page has photos over the text

Everything looks right on the webpage canvas where I designed the welcome page. I then clicked "publish" . Next I went to view the published site and there are photos overlapping the text. How did that happen? And want do I do to get it to look like I set it up on the canvas ?
macbook Mac OS X (10.4.8) the address is http:// web.mac.com/lyndageocook
macbook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I have run into this and sometimes you just have to go back reposition them and publish again. Would you be interested in wrapping the text around the pictures? To do this select the area you would like to put the picture, go to insert and select choose, then find your picture and open it. This will put it in the iweb page where you selected it to go. Next open up the inspector and click on the text tab, select wrap, and then check the box that says object causes wrap. Once you click this you will see the text position around your picture. You can reposition your picture and the text will follow. I think that would be a great feature for your page. Good luck!

IMac OSX 21.5 late 2010, had MTN Lion on it. Prob with thousands of my photos in IPhoto all mixed up and intermingled with thousands of odd images I had not seen before. After trying to erase them, too numerous, I used original disk for disk utility. Disk

Utility had issues with erasing disk. It took 36 hours and then said it was a failure. I tried repairing and verifying and partitioning. Finally, I used the original disk to install the system. It installed Snow Leopard. I was unable to install the 2nd disk ILife items, so I repurchased those. I thought I was all set but it would not upgrade past 10.6 or something. After it is all set up, I realize there is nothing on the computer. The updates were in download folders and in reading the install logs, it said the install disc was read only and the system was installed from somewhere else and then it was reaped and something about a sandbox and it seemed important that all the Asian languages were added in, even though I unchecked that option. All these odd programs and windows are on there, which I do not use and do not want on there and do not see it on there. So, I tried this several more times, it appears someone is using the Root user. I tried to disable the root user as I do not understand how to set it. Last night, I took the main partition that I put everything on and made me the owner and took over that whole disk. Then the other two were locked, do I ejected them. Then I wanted to erase 4 things - an iDisk an some other trash and the trash is suddenly emptying 989 items, I think were the logs. So, I turned it off. What is going on? I was unable to fix the install disk. The permissions were not repairable on the partition, it was verified as being ok though. Has someone taken over my computer? How can I get rid of them and get it fixed? It has affected my iPad and my iPhone 5. I really need these devices. I am an artist and need to take and post photos of my work. Is this Chinese people doing this and are they nearby? I did notice they wanted me to sign up for mo ole me. in the logs it even said, no [email protected]. And no password access at that address. So, I was also not able to update to Mountain Lion and Icloud again. at one point it looked like I had. i downloaded everything I purchased that was in Icloud to Itunes and it showed the lion in Mail but there was no cloud icon and Mountain Lion said to install, meaning it was not installed. System information confirmed this. oh, and my main disk in disk Utility is named with an unchangeable name that is the serial number of the mac and it says it is an in/out sata media drive. Please, please help me.

1. If you break your post into paragraphs it is much easier to read.
2. I have no idea what your post is referring to, and how - if at all - it relates to iPhoto.
3. It's a good idea to re-read what you've posted, and ask yourself how it might look to someone who doesn't know you and doesn't know what's going on with your machine.

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.
