Newbie with iWeb ...

I'm planning to give a try to Mobile Me specially to check if I will be able to finally build my first website but I have initial questions ... lol
How can I figure out the size of my website built with iWeb 08 ? I would like to know if the space reserved in Mobile Me plans to host a website will be enough to hold my site .....
Can I register a personal domain name (anywhere) and have visitors writing it on their browsers and be redirected to my site at Mobile Me ?
Pictures: Should they be .jpeg or .png ?
Videos: Size ? Data rate ? .mov or flash ?
Thanks in advance ....

I've been reading some post ... about "drag and drop" movie files on iweb pages, making it "bigger, havier and long loadings" and/or place them somewhere, like idisk, and have something like an url pointing to them
That was a suggestion for the old version of iWeb where the movie was uploaded every time you changed something on the page (I did not check this)
Since you have iWeb '08 : forget that tip.
(streaming ? )
No, MobileMe does not give you QT Streaming Server capabilities.
I guess people doesn't need to have "my movies" phisically on their computers.
Indeed no, they do not need to save the movie on their computer.
But the movie will have to be "loaded" on their computer in order for the browser to play it.
That way, I believe I should compress my videos, for example, as H.264
Yes !
And also it wouldn't increase my Data Transfer Limits on my MobileMe account.
No, the opposite : when they "save" the movie they can play it 100 times from their hard disk = 1 x Data Transfer.
When they visit your website 100 times to see the movie = 100 x Data Transfer.
So, keep your movies small.
If you need the movie to be big :
_ you can buy more Data Transfer on MobileMe,
_ put the movie on YouTube or Vimeo and on your page : hyperlink to them (Not in an iFrame on your page!)
Kind regards,
Leo

Newbe with iWeb question

Hello all new here and no computer expert by all means so please bare with me.
Trying to create a web page for a for a friend
What i would like to do is have a bio section for crew members. What would be the best way to do this??????
I would like to have one heading that says (The Crew) and then sub headings with each persons bio.
The only way i see how to do this is to create multiple (about me's) this would be fine but i would like them all under one heading.
Thanks for you help

Rather than use a template you can start with a Blank page in whatever theme you are using.
Drag photos onto the page from the Finder or iPhoto and resize then to suit.
Insert text boxes for headings, sub headings and content. Make sure you use a web safe font.....

Newbie with Mac iWeb, but have used Dreamweaver in Windose ......

Hi all, i used Dreamweaver with good effect on my Windose Lap top, i now have the free App "iWeb" on my new Mac.
I have had a quick look at what is can be done with iWeb, it seems to have a few Templates built in, but i don't see any facilities to use Templates from anywhere else or any possibility of Editing any Web Sites i have previously created.
Have i missed something significant, i guess to have the same facilities given me by Dreamweaver i have to spend some more money !, or Dual Boot with Boot Camp.
Any suggestions would be appreciated

There are 3 themes in iWeb that can be customized extensively by the user: Black, White and Modern Frame. The Formal theme can also be customized in all page layouts except for its blog page. Each theme will have a different navbar font and color scheme. So choose the one that would work best with your design.
There are numerous 3rd party themes that can be purchase and added to iWeb. Just do a Google search for "iWeb 3 themes".
Does Dreamweaver have a "crossover" deal where you can get the Mac version for a greatly reduced price if you already have the Window version like Adobe does for Photoshop?

HELP! Can I view a site I created with iWeb using a personal domain?

Sorry in advance if this question has already been addressed. I too am sort of a newbie to iWeb. I just purchased a domain name through Google Apps. I would like to create my website through iWeb using the domain name ("www.youngvoters08.com") that I already purchased through Google Apps.
At this point, I'm incredibly confused. Is it possible to type in my domain URL (that I purchased through Google Apps) and have my iWeb website come up? I set up my personal domain through .Mac and I even tried publishing its contents to a folder (that was even more confusing). The personal domain option says it will take up to 48 hours to link to my domain.
All I want for Christmas is to be able to type in "www.youngvoters08.com" and be directed to the site I created on iWeb (as opposed to creating my site through Google Apps). Is this at all possible? And does it require me to be patient for 48 hours?
I'm afraid that the .Mac personal domain option means that I have to have already created a website with another service provider, and it doesn't mean that the personal domain I already purchased ("www.youngvoters08.com") will take me to the website I created through iWeb. I'm also weary that I wasted $10.00 by buying a personal domain through Google Apps, especially if I cannot create the contents of my website through iWeb.
Did that make any sense at all??? (Sorry for the confusion and redundancy:)

If you have both sites on one domain file - that is they both load into iWeb at once - click on the name of site 2 in the sidebar and drag it to the top of the list so that it is now in the #1 position. Now do a "Publish all to .Mac".
Your domain name URL is being directed to the index.html file in the Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites folder. This file opens the site that is at the top of the list in iWeb or, if you are publishing your sites individually, the last site that you uploaded.

How do I add a type tag to my enclosure with iWeb?

I encode my video with QuickTime, manage my website with iWeb, and upload it to the web with Transmit.
A few episodes ago, my podcasts stopped updating on Podcast Alley. Tech support pointed out the problem: There are no type tags on any of my enclosures.
From what I gather, the type tag tell you what kind file it is - ie, a .m4v
I don't have any idea how to add a type tag to an enclosure using iWeb, and I don't even know if its possible. I would think that iWeb would do it automatically.
Also, how do I change my feed? I originally just used the feed iWeb created:
http://www.leilajones.com/jonescast/...esCast/rss.xml
But then set up a feedburner feed - which I now submit when I submit anywhere new.
http://feeds.feedburner.com/jonescast
But how do I change the rss feed on my website with iWeb... I love the simplicity of it, but it's so limiting...
Also, how do I change the feed in iTunes to the Feedburner feed?
Thanks for your help,

Setting up Online chat or realt ime messaging with iWeb

I am new to this, so apologies if question is niave.
I want to be able to to set up a messaging system through a web-site (created with iWeb) & have an online chat facilitiy preferably in real time, rather than posts on a messge board, so I can ask questions & direct the chat.
Its for a structured discussion for some PhD research I am doing.
Is there some way to combine iChat & iWeb. I was thinking through the 'group' service on dot.mac, using jabber on bonjour?
BTW (I have never used jabber or bonjour before, so all advice gratefully received).
Many Thanks

Unfortunately this first version of iWeb doesn't really lend itself to doing what it is you are trying to do. In order for you to achieve this you will have to get under the bonnet so to speak. You can either have a link such as the one you will find here: http://web.mac.com/justin_stevens/iWeb/Lounge/About%20Me.html which will initiate an iChat / AIM session with you directly. (If you wish to do something like this I can help you manually edit the necessary files). Or else you can try something slightly more clever as outlined here: http://homepage.mac.com/cherrypop/iblog/C1900478167/E20060301171845/index.html The advantage of the latter is that your web site will show your offline / online status as well as initiating a chat session with you when clicked. Hope this is of some help to you. Don't hesitate to get in touch should you require anything further.
Kind Regards,
Justin

I have made with iweb a website on my macbook, now i want to change it, through my imac, how can I get in the program , which is on the mac book. On both computer I have Lion

You need to transfer your domain.sites file from your MacBook to your iMac. This is the file where iWeb stores all info and can be found under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
Transfer this file from your MacBook to the same place on your iMac and double click the domain.sites file and iWeb will open it on your iMac and you can update your site from there too.

How many website can I create with iWeb?

How many different webpages can I create with iWeb? I just created a site to show friends a slide show from a recent trip, but I need to create another webpage that will have video on it. It would be a totally different subject matter. I do have a .MAC account and not sure if I need to do anything with that so I can have more webpages.
I guess what I am saying is that I am going to need different URL's for the webpages I am going to need to create and want to know how many you can have or create using iWeb.

You can have multiple websites, each with multiple pages depending on the need. To make managing multiple sites easier, take a look at iWebSites. The limiting factor, as was pointed out, is the available space on your iDisk. I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.

Can I set up a Web server for my internal network with iWeb.

I'd like to set up a web page that is only accessible from my internal network and hosted on one of my macs. I'd like to host home movies in quicktime format that I can stream to my iPhone and iPod Touch. Can I do this with iWeb? Do I need additional software to serve the site off of my mac? I would also like to set up passwords on a sub-page that will contain PG-13 and R rated movies - is this possible as well?
Thank you.

Start your personal webserver.
Put the iWeb pages (or any webpage) in the root folder of your personal webserver or in the webfolder of your Home directory.
Either:
/Library/WebServer/Documents/
or
~/Sites/
Its' an Apache webserver. The manual is on your computer too.
<http://localhost/manual>
Any questions about that server can be found in Discussions. It's not iWeb specific.

Is there are a way to delay the display of a page with iweb 08?

I have a page with a lot of content (SportsOutreachOnline.com -> Sports). The page takes a little while to load and look very unprofessional while doing it. It loads each piece and displays it piece of the website one at a time. I would like it to load like 70-90% of the way before displaying any content.
In other words, I would like the page to load most of the way before displaying itself. Is this possible to do with iweb 08?

I'm sorry, but I guess I don't really understand your answer. I added an HTML snipet which made an invisible frame in the page and i typed in.
"<script type="text/javascript">
parent.document.body.style.visibility = "hidden";
fucntion showBody()
parent.document.body.style.visibility = "visible";
setTimeout("showBody()", 5000);
</script>"
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but I just don't know what.

Go to YT and grab the code.
Paste it in a HTML Snippet.

Problem with iWeb 09, after the publication in a local file.

*Subject: problem with iWeb 09, after the publication in a local file, i can't see my blog, nor my photos, but before that all was working fine.*
After the publication in the local file, I see all my pages, but there is a mistake on the page "Blog" where I just can see the top of my page, it's cut and I can't see it entirely, so I can't see the inputs while I should see 3 news or 3 inputs. And it's the same for the "Photos" page where the page is cut, I can't see the photos, and it's just written : "Put the slide show and subscribe".To finish, when I want to activate the comments, it doesn't work neither.
Please help me.

I want to activate the comments, it doesn't work neither.
The comments feature is only available when you publish to the MobileMe server, so I don't think you can use it when you publish to a local file.

How I do to open a website created with iWeb in other computer

Hi,
My web site was created with iWeb last year in other computer, a dead MacBook. I have a copy of my web files created with iWeb, and moved to my new computer, iMac.
Now I want to edit my web using iWeb, but I can´t find the way to open the files to modify and actualize my web, etc...
Does anyone know how to do this? can iWeb open and edit a web site created by itself?
Help will be appreciated,

Felix ~ No, only iWeb's Domain file can be opened in iWeb. See this Apple doc on How to back up MobileMe data. It says:
“Any websites you have published with iWeb should still be available within iWeb. iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). If you no longer have this file, you can view your currently published pages and manually recreate them within iWeb, but *there is no way to import published pages back into iWeb*. You can manually back up the Domain file, or use Backup to back it up.”
If you don't have a backup of your Domain file (e.g. via Time Machine), paragraph 2.3 of this FAQ page gives some tips on how to use published files, graphics, photos, etc., to help rebuild the site from scratch:

Problems with iWeb 09 on Safari 4.04 on Snow Leopard 10.6.2

My iWeb 09 v. 3.0.1 website comes out funky, with fonts messed up on some pages, missing pictures, etc. Even on Firefox 1.5.0.12 same issues.
Yet, the same site on my old laptop with OSX 10.4.11 and Safari 4.0.3 runs fine. And runs fine on Firefox 1.5.0.12.
Are there known issues with iWeb 09 with Snow Leopard and Safari?
Frustrating!
Thanks

So you started from the normal Tiger system and inserted the SL disc, tried to install but it ejected the disc without an automatic restart?
If you do the installation that way, the system update is carried out while the restart is in progress before the internal HD is remounted (which it why it takes a long time to restart).
If that's failed, have you tried inserting the disc, immediately restarting and holding down the C key during startup?
If that boots you to the installer, you will need to ignore the install screen to begin with, select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu in the top menu bar and erase Macintosh HD before continuing the installation.
What I'm guessing has happened is that the installation has written the system files to their temporary folder from where they would be used to replace the existing Tiger system during the restart. Something has prevented that replacement from happening, but when you now insert the disc, the presence of the temp files inhibits it from proceeding further.
Erasing the Mac HD will remove all of that and should allow a clean install.
However, it will also wipe everything else, so make sure you have a current backup before proceeding down that route.
