My iweb website i posted through Fetch isn't working...

i posted my iweb website using Fetch to my godaddy.com web address, but it's not working. it keeps coming up with the "this page coming soon" page instead. is there a certain folder i'm supposed to post it to? do i need to delete the "this page coming soon" file from the ftp server? i can't figure out what i did wrong.
can anyone help me? my website is www.dianne-spence.com, by the way.
thanks!

I think you uploaded the wrong index.html file. You are saving your sitefolder into the Sites folder on your hard drive, which is not wrong but it is confusing you tremendously.
Here is exactly what I want you to do...
1. On your desktop make a new folder...call it "iWeb FTP stuff"
2. Open up iWeb and select "Publish to Folder".
3. In the field for URL, type in "http://www.dianne-spence.com"
4. Up above in the file window, select the folder on your desktop "iWeb FTP stuff" to save your site into.
5. Click on Go. iWeb will now publish your site to the "iWeb FTP stuff" folder on your desktop. Quit iWeb when it is finished.
6. Now open up the "iWeb FTP stuff" folder on your desktop just to explore... see how there are only two things inside there? An index.html file and then another folder named after your site, right? Perfect. These are the two items to upload to your server. Don't bother with the sitefolder.
7. Now launch Fetch and enter in your GoDaddy account info. Navigate to the "iWeb FTP stuff" folder and select the index.html file and the sitefolder (named after your site). Start the upload.
That should do it. Let me know what happens.

  • When Subscribing to my Newsletter through my IWeb website, one is entered in EVERY Category; how can I change that!?

    When Subscribing to my Newsletter through my IWeb website, one is entered in EVERY Category; how can I change that!?  It's a convenient feature, to just pass out my biz card, and get newsletter subscribers.  But they don't seem to be able to choose categories; I always get notifications that they have been subscribed to every category (including ones that don't appear as options when they subscribe through the newsletter server).  HELP??

    How do they subscribe?
    Where is the newsletter?
    Where or what is the newsletter server?
    Where do they choose a category?
    Specify.
    Anyway, there is none in iWeb.

  • SLOWWWW Iweb website

    Is it me or are iWeb websites just much slower than others.... particularly if you want a website with lots of photos.
    I built one with many photos but just couldn't get it to download quickly enough.... so I removed all photos and just had one welcome page with only a minimal amount of text.... still markedly slower than most other sites...
    I have 8 meg broadband so thats not the issue here.... the problem may seem to be when routing it through a .Mac account, which is what I am doing.
    Anyone else experiencing this slowness with iWeb through .Mac?
    Regards

    I used Dreamweaver too until a few days ago when I switched to use Cyberduck as I discovered how to get it to upload only the files changed since the last time I published...
    The problem about Dreamweaver MX (maybe also newer?) is that it doesn't allow to use long file names and crops them adding strange numbers bla bla bla... Also don't use special characters èà'" in page names...
    However when you select files it asks you if you want to upload dependent files too => Yes
    Sometimes it asks if you want to Overwrite newer files on the server => I used to put there Yes to all
    When it seems it is skipping files usually it isn't skipping anything. It may be Dreamweaver already uploaded them previously (say it uploads the html file including dependent files, afterwards the app tells itself 'I have to upload the folder which goes with that page' but it already uploaded the content of the folder while uploading the html file) or they are so small they seem to be skipped
    You can also just select pages in the Dreamweaver server/machine up/download browser and upload them, have look at the website I posted previously on this thread to know which files are needed for the navigation bar.
    About the friend... He is wrong... I used Dreamweaver successfully for over half an year to upload my iWeb created website... Just took the folder and uploaded... Without moving/changing anything... Thus no problem don't mind about that...

  • Why my iweb website is no longer getting indexed by google?

    I have had my website for 2 years and it was showing up on google with no problems. Now my site is not showing up on google and I dont know why.
    I have verified the site, I have resubmitted the URL. I have requested reconsideration, but I just need to know why my site that stop showing up on google.
    .Google mention that .mac blocks googlebots from indexing the site. What should I do to fix this probelm. (url:www.noticemagazine.com)

    In order for search engines to find your site you need to have text content. They don't know what your site is about if there is no text content on it. I have went through your site and you should do the following;
    1) Get ride of your "click here to enter site" page (the Welcome_.html page)
    Never EVER use your default page in this way. This is called a splash page and provides no value to your visitors since they need an additional click to find your page and it provides no indication to search engines about what your site is all about. Your default page is the most important page on your site, use it to link to the most important pages on your website and to have your important keywords.
    2) Your title tags NEED to have your most important keywords
    Your title tags (what you see at the top of your browser) need to have your most important keywords . They should be 60-120 characters long, unique for every single page and describe what your page is all about. This is one of the most important things for search engines. Not only do they use this to learn about your website content but its also what users will see when your site is listed in Google's result. Do you think someone will click a link called 'Welcome' when they do a search in Google, or "Notice Magazine: Lifestyle and Fashion Advice" (for example).
    3) You need more text content
    All of your pages are mostly images, you need more content that search engines can properly index. Imagine you were searching for text in a Word Document and it was just an image, you wouldn't find anything. This is basically what Google does too. Most of your text has been converted to images because you use non standard fonts in iWeb. In iWeb, open the fonts palette, and select 'Web'. Stick to those fonts.
    4) Link to other pages on your site using your keywords
    You need to link between your pages on your site using keywords you want to be found with. Anchor text (the text you click to follow a link), is used by Google to rank your website. Tip: Do a search for click here in Google, look at the top result and notice that click here is not found anywhere on that page. Its because so many people link to that first result using the term 'click here'. (Its Adobe Reader's page for those that do not want to search).
    5) Get a real domain name AND real hosting
    MobileMe is NOT meant for commercial sites and should never be used for it. A real host with a real domain name (that includes your keywords) you will outrank the same website hosted in MobileMe (even with domain forwarding. Any kind of domain forwarding is not ideal for search engines because of how redirects are handled).
    6) Create and submit an XML Sitemap file
    Not only will this help with you rankings, Google/Yahoo/Bing provide a Webmaster Tools account that will provide feedback on why your site may not be in Google.
    7) Speed up your website
    You are using too many high quality images on your site which is making it extremely slow. Reduce the quality of your images and optimize your HTML/CSS/Javascript code so it loads faster. Not only does this provide a bad user experience for your visitors but Google will not index a slow loading page as much as a faster loading page. Also, Google announced just a few days ago that the speed of a website's load time WILL become an important ranking factor in the VERY NEAR future.
    Having a real web host will help with the speed issue.
    8) Redo your navigation bar using text and include your keywords in each link. iWeb's javascript navigation bar does not allow search engines to easily find all your pages on your site.
    9) Get links from third party websites. Post on forums, use twitter, facebook, blogs and other social networking sites. Links from other websites are a very important factor for how well your website ranks.

  • Restoring iWeb website from .mac and idisk files

    my hard drive on my PowerMac failed this week and was replaced.
    i am trying to restore my website in iWeb on the Mac. I sync with iDisk and it appears all the content is in directories there under /web/sites/iWeb.
    To start up iWeb with all files in place on my Mac, where do I need to put these files?
    Thanks,
    Jeremy
    PowerMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   2.5 GB RAM

    J....
    all of the iWeb files are saved in a file called DOMAIN on your hard disk. You find it here.
    harddisk/users/username/library/application support/iweb/domain
    THIS is the file you have to back up after you publish or save your site. If your hard disk crashes again, just put the copy into the folder of this path and reopen iweb.
    The post above about recopying the files into iWeb is right. It's not iWeb's fault that your disk crashed. Any program data that wasn't backed up, regardless of the application, was lost when that disk crashed.
    I know this isn't what you needed to hear bro, but I hope it helps for the future.

  • IWeb Website with Google E-mail and ZoneEdit DNS

    I have an iWeb website, and currently run domain e-mail through 1and1. It seems ridiculous to pay for 1and1 email when I can get domain e-mail for free with GoogleApps. The only problem is I am not sure how to manage DNS outside of the 1and1 environment. I looked into ZoneEdit, but I cannot find specific instructions for setting up iWeb DNS properly on ZoneEdit so as not to break e-mail like the instructions I found here in the forum for 1and1.
    I was wondering if anyone else uses domain e-mail, iWeb, and ZoneEdit, and if so how you set up DNS.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply. I had already researched the various forum posts (as it is now, I have the personal domain set up and functioning appropriately). The issue is that most of the posts have little to do with the tendency of CNAMEs to break email functionality. ZoneEdit strongly discourages CNAMEs in the FAQ you referenced for mainly that reason.
    I made use of a very good post in setting up 1and1 DNS to work properly with iWeb and my domain - all without breaking e-mail. I am looking for someone who did the same thing with ZoneEdit.
    I will keep looking through the posts, but so far a ZoneEdit example that includes maintaining domain based e-mail is elusive!

  • Created site in iweb 08 and posted to netfirms... the pages are all loaded up but there is no nav bar, it comes up on each page as a small black dot. How do I get the nav bar to load up and show?

    I created site in iweb 08 and posted to netfirms... the pages are all loaded up but there is no nav bar, where the nav bar should be is only a small black dot on each page. How do I get the nav bar to load up and show? It was a disaster loading up my site as it changed the case of the letters and at first no pages were seen, so I had to go through and change the letters that were supposed to be cap, back to cap in every file. I don't know if this has something to do with it or not. The tech support doesn't have an answer. Please let me know if you have any ideas and solutions. Thanks bunches!

  • How do I create an email list sign up form for my iWeb website?

    Well that's the question - how do I create an email list sign up form for my iWeb website?
    Could someone tell me what's the simplest way using iWeb to create an interactive option
    for users to enter their email address and the info be forwarded to me so I can add to an
    email list?
    It would be great if, since I'm using a Mac computer & iWeb, there was a way to have the
    submitted emails automatically added to a group in my Mac Addressbook.
    I got this MacBook Pro in Sept 2010 so I believe that's iWeb '08 I'm using.
    Anyway I'm thinking there should be a way to do this with some system involving an HTMK
    Widget and an email account.
    By the way this is for hosting through a 'real server', not MobileMe (which I plan to get later
    when I can afford it).
    Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
    Mark

    Website forms require some code in a snippet and a formmail.php script on the server to process the form and send the info to the required email address. You can do all this when you switch to a "real" server.
    In the meantime you can use a form  or marketing service or, better still, an application like MailShoot which generates the form, handles the database and sends out the bulk emails.

  • HELP - Website isn't working for me but working for everybody else

    Hey I'm new to this site so I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section!
    So I've been getting annoyed lately because my website (www.curtiskeay.com) isn't working for me and just redirecting me back to my hosting website saying that the website is 'coming soon' but it works for everyone else that has tried loading it, so it just seems to be me that it's not loading for.
    It works every now and then but very rarely for me, so it makes me feel that the site is down but really and truly it's just not loading for ME. It works perfectly fine at home on my wifi on my phone which is android and I use google chrome. I know this isn't probably a Apple related problem but I was unsure where else to post this.
    If anyone can give me any kind of help it would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Curtis

    It's working here.
    Try this..   from your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:  Remove All Website Data
    Now empty the Safari cache.
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Advanced tab.
    Click: Show develop menu in menu bar
    Now go to the menu bar, click Develop > Empty Caches
    Quit and relaunch Safari then try your site.

  • Please Help Publishing iWeb Website With ... ??

    Please help. This is so unfamiliar!
    I am trying to publish my iWeb website not using MobileMe (don't really know what it is).
    I need to purchase my domain name but don't know of a reputable company that will give me a web address that just ends in .com without other stuff behind it.
    Also, someone said I need a "Bridge" that is Fetch??
    Please advise if anyone can! Thank you.
    Happy Holidays!
    Van

    Okay so I have purchased the Hostexcellence basic plan, my domainname and webhosting, and $6 extra for personal information privacy, which came to about $64. At first they kept saying the domainname was wrong or something, until I finally wrote it in in all lowercase lettering, which solved the issue. They said they would connect within 12 hours in their confirmation email... The webpage message said:
    ACCOUNT CREATION DELAY
    We are sorry for the delay with creating your account. Our systems encountered a small problem and could not automatically create your account. You will receive the account access information within the next 12 hours. Thank you for your patience.
    You have chosen to purchase the following service(s):
    Domain Registration: lightkeysandcodes.com , Paid Domain Registration, 1 year(s)
    Hosting Plan: Basic Plan, Quarterly
    There was a problem creating your order. One of our support specialists is already working on processing your order, but if you would like a status update, please feel free to contact our support department.
    Wyodor mentioned starting with my own ISP. What info do I need from them? (we have Verizon).
    I am now looking over the link Old Toad provided. Appreciate that.
    Do i now start with Fetch or one.com to store my pages/files on?
    Thanking you all!

  • How to publish iWeb online but not through iCloud but someone else?

    How to publish iWeb online but not through iCloud but someone else?
    Mybe Google or woodpress, 
    Or publish iWeb online with iCloud WITHOUT upgrading Lion?

    iWeb will still be around but as Jeff pointed out if you want a blog with visitors comments you should consider converting your iWeb blog to  WordPress.  Rage Software has created an applicaiton that will convert your current iWeb blog w/visitor comments to a Wordpress blog. You can get the application here: Convert Your iWeb Blog to a WordPress Blog.
    If you don't have visitor comments then the iWeb blog will continue to work for you on a 3rd party FTP server.
    If you have photo pages in your website with the accompanying slideshow you'll need to read the following:
    It's now confirmed that iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken.  If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    In addition the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on.
    HOWEVER, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still currently available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those copies still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD.

  • Can i publish an iWeb website to any host?

    I want to use iWeb to build a website but i don't use mobile me.
    I have a domain name with 1&1 and I have all the relevant ftp information but i can't see how you can publish a site made in iWeb unless it's through mobile me.
    So does anyone know how I can get a site i've just made onto the internet without using mobile me? my web hosters are 1and1.
    many thanks
    Joe

    Joe:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Yes you can publish an iWeb site to any host server. It involves publishing to a folder on the Desktop (or anywhere you want it to reside on the HD) and then uploading the contents of that folder, a site folder and an index.html file, to your server using an ftp client like the free Cyberduck.
    Enter the ftp information into Cyberduck and upload.

  • My hard drive crashed a month ago. How do I edit my iWeb website now?

    My hard drive crashed a month ago. My website was published through iWeb and now on the new drive all my old info is gone. I want to get in to edit my website, but I can't figure out how to do that through my new iWeb software on the new drive?? What do I do?

    Everyone else would install the Domain.sites2 folder from a backup copy. Do you have a backup copy?
    iWeb can't import your published files.

  • Had to re-install Mac OS X- My iWeb website has disappeared

    Has anyone had this problem?
    Today I had to reinstall my Mac OS 10.4.6 operating system. When I launched the also freshly installed iWeb application and logged in with my correct User ID and Password, my iWeb website did NOT appear.
    The application screen is completely blank and almost every menu item is grayed out. There is no option to download pages from server, import or anything esle that seems like it could fix it.
    I dragged the plist for iWeb from the old System folder Preferences file into the new one, hoping that would help. No deal. Does anyone know how I can get my freshly installed version of iWeb to see my previously posted website?? (I have a back up copy of the website files on my desktop, but don't know how to get them recognized by iWeb). Thanks!

    newposting,
    Has anyone had this problem?
    Yes. Many people; you are not alone, by any means. Here's the problem:
    iWeb can't edit html like other mainstream web apps. It keeps everything you put into the application, as you build, in a single file, called Domain.sites. This file lives on your hard drive here. When you are finished creating in iWeb and you use the Publish command, it's at that point that iWeb draws on the Domain file and other resources in the application, and writes the html.
    Without this Domain file, you cannot access or edit work created in iWeb. Published files cannot be imported back into the application.
    Backup this file frequently from now on. Varkgirl has given us a great little automator app which can be downloaded free here.
    You can probably fix the greyed out menu options by launching iPhoto and, using the iWeb icon at the bottom of the window, send some pic media to iWeb. Sometimes it can take a number of tries.
