No thumbnail when i link my (Iweb) site onto Digg or Facebook

Hello everyone!
I looked everywhere to find a way for having a thumbnail of my Iweb website appear when I put its link on Digg or Facebook.
I have found this:
Enable Thumbnails | Digg About
about editing the metatags.
I have checked the html file of my homepage (i want the thumbnail to be the picture displayed on my homepage) and i already have "title", "description" and "image_src" as they request, but with a lot more stuff in between.
Any help would be great!!!
Thanks,
Brian

How do I link an iWeb site to a Yahoo store?

Hi all,
I designed an iWeb site for a friend, she is hosted at Yahoo Small Business. She also wanted to use Yahoo ecommerce does anyone know how to link an iWeb site to a Yahoo store? Yahoo uses store tags which they tell me can't be used in iWeb I was hoping to just link the ecommerce store I created in Yahoo to a store link in iWeb like a separate page. But I don't know how or if that will work. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Marilyn

Hi,
LOL, you are absolutely correct I am moaning and groaning and you are correct about the tech suport the reason I am so frustrated.
The website is www.papeteriecollections.com (iWeb)
The Yahoo store is store.papeteriecollections.com
The yahoo store is set up to the point of store tags. I was able to link the store to the site itself but not the items in the store to the items in the website. That's where the tags come in. From yahoo I copied their code from the item and then pasted it into iWeb. The link worked from iWeb back to the yahoo store, but not after publishing it. So then I tried the (html snippet) in iWeb and pasted the store tag code in there at the bottom of one of the items in my site, and order button appeared. (good thing) but it didn't work either. please see below:
I hope this makes better sense and I apologize for being a baby!
Thanks

Dead links in iWeb site - IE only

I have just published my first iWeb site: www.envisioningchange.ca
All seems to work great in Safari and Firefox (though plug-in for social media sharing "Add This" is down right now), however many of the links, some of them in the text (not just nav links) are dead when viewed in Internet Explorer. I have searched for a solution to this on various forums and have not found anything specific to this issue.
Anybody able to help?
Many thanks!

Hi Roddy
Thanks so much for the replies and the super informative links! Unfortunately, following the instructions to insert drop shadows before putting images into iWeb resulted in a slightly different appearance and alignment to the image...one I'm not totally pleased with. If it's the only thing that works, I may go that route. The thing is, each page seems to behave differently, so I am unconvinced that this is the problem, since each page has an image with drop shadow, but some have active links and others do not.
I would rather not watermark the images for a few reasons. I'm actually rather pleased with the transparent overlay to prevent right-click downloading.
I checked the site on IE this morning and did not see any of the text mis-alignment you mentioned. Any chance you could send a screenshot?
Problem continues to be a mix of link issues, including seemingly randlom links that are completely dead (both external and internal links), some with only half the link active (need to move mouse over the whole text to find an active part).
One thing I did notice this morning is that as the home page was loading the image, the split second before the image was up, the links were active. As soon as the image was up, the links were dead. And this was after I removed the drop shadow on that page!
Any further thoughts would be most welcome!

How to link 2 iWeb sites

I created two seperate sites and now want to combine them. This is my layout in iWeb--> http://home.cogeco.ca/~tarkin/iWeblayout.jpg
How can I get the Camping 2006 site into the Our Photo Album site? I want a link at the top of the page to display along with the others, "Camping 2006" but I want the individual pages in Camping 2006 to only be accesible through Camping 2006 and not at the top of the page of Our Photo Album.
whew!

You cannot actually combine the two sites, but what you can do is create a page in the Our Photo Album site, and name it Camping 2006; (this way it will show up in the nav bar of the 'Our Photo Album' site); then, on that page, just create a link to the Camping 2006 site. A suggestion for the link would be to just place a main photo from the Camping site, on the Camping 2006 page, and then enable it as a hyperlink to to the site.

When you save an iweb site, where is it located. I need to hand edit it

I want to hand edit the lines in my website. When I click to save the site, the OS sens it somewhere but gives no clue where. How do I find the html file for my site

Here's a short tutorial to find the Domain file.
Copy the line below :
~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
Then in the Finder, do Command-Shift-G and paste the line.
Hit return.
You can also record the events with QT X screenrecording. Then you can play that movie again in case you forgot where the domain file is.
You can also look it up in the iWeb Help.

Blog entries disappear when I save my iWeb site to a desktop file

I have designed a website using iWeb 08, and when I upload it to MobileMe, it looks fine. But I want to upload via FTP to another server. The first step is to save the site to a folder. Once I've done that, I'm invited to "visit site". When I do so, I see that entries on my blogs simply aren't showing up - blank pages with headlines instead. Any suggestions?

This might explain it:
Features Unavailable When Publishing to a Non-Mac Server:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter

Transferring an old iweb site onto iweb on a new computer

Hi,
I made a website using iWeb '08 on my laptop and managed to publish it onto the web using an FTP. My hard drive then blew up and i stupidly hadn't backed up anything. Anyway I now have managed to download it onto my laptop on a file but cannot work out how to get it back onto iWeb so i can continue to edit and update it.
Sorry for the essay and any help will be much appreciated!
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. iWeb cannot import files only create them. So you'll have to recreate the site from scratch. However, Chapter 2.3 of tje iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the published files in the reconstruction of the site.

How do I remove old web site when publishing new site with same URL in iweb? Hit replace when publishing new iweb site (so we could have control over changes) but new site name is attached to old via a / after our www address we want to keep.

I hit the replace when publishing the new iweb site (so we could have control over changes - last one was not an apple based site) but new site name is attached to old via a forward slash and underscore after our www address. Makes it very messy with a very long web address. Original address now followed by iweb site name followed by name of first page? Went for iweb as not that computer literate - all going so well?! Cheers for help in anticipation. Have to get off to work now but be great end to week if we could be sorted tonight. Rupes

Well yes of course, if you try and publish through iWeb there won't be an option to publish without your site folder which is exactly why I told you to download Cyberduck and use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server having published your site from iWeb to a local folder. That is what you need to do if you don't want your site name to be included in yoru url.
It would have been easier also if you had used Cyberduck initially to connect to your server and delete your old site yourself - at least that way you would have deleted the correct files rather than relying on your hosting service to do it and doing it incorrectly.
Download Cyberduck and then select the publish to a local folder option from iWeb and then use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server, but rather than uploading the whole site folder and separate index file, upload ONLY the contents of your site folder and then your url will be http://www.domain.com/page_name.html.
It really isn't rocket science!

Can I merge an iWeb site into a regular site?

I have an existing site which was not made with iWeb. I've wanted to update it so I decided to use iWeb 08. I'm a bit concerned that when I publish the iWeb site into my old site that things will be written over. Will this be the case? I have a lot of other programs on my old site like php and mysql based things and I can't have those be over-written.
Thanks,
Tom

Thanks for the help. Here's the latest, I changed my Site name to Documents, so that it would match my webserver's information. (I changed my current Documents folder to Documents-bak so I wouldn't destroy it.) I published the new Documents iWeb along with some changes. After publishing, I took a folder with some pdfs in it from my backup and manually copied it to the new Documents folder. Checked the website and everything worked. Then I went back to iWeb, added a new Album, the published it. The folder I copied over was gone....poof!
This leads me to think I should have a splash page under my webserver root directory (/Documents/index.html) that links to /Documents/Site/index.html (with Site being my iWeb site) and leaving all the other items under /Documents. This would prevent the deletion of files that don't relate to iWeb since it is in a different directory.
Sorry if I'm being confusing, for the last 15 years I've built sites with things like Frontpage, Dreamweaver and other programs where I didn't have to worry about this stuff. I love iWeb because the site I'm talking about is my personal site with kids' pictures and it's pretty easy to use.
Question, say I add an album to my iWeb. Do I need to republish the WHOLE site again? I can't find a way to just publish changes rather than the whole site.
Thanks - Tom

Re-Publishing an iWeb site with GoDaddy

I am having a very frustrating issue when a attempt to re-upload my already made iWeb site onto a domain that I am paying for through GoDaddy. I started the site two years ago with a two year plan for hosting on GoDaddy. Everything was fine for those 2 years. Then, just recently those 2 years ran up and the web page went blank. So I payed more through GoDaddy to extend my hosting plan for 3 more years. Through doing this, GoDaddy gave me a new web hosting username and password that they told me to put in iWeb when i launch the site. So I went back to iWeb and when I click the "Publish Site" button, a notification drops down and says that the site cannot be published because the username or password are incorrect. However, it displays the OLD username and there is NOWHERE to change it to the new one that GoDaddy has given me. I have been through every menu I could find in iWeb (I am using the iLife '11 version) and cannot find anywhere to change this username and password. This is extremely frustrating because I am paying for the hosting time even when the site is not running. Please Help!!! THANKS!

@Shawn2375 - This may assist you with uploading the site: http://x.co/mXkk Also in hat article it links you to the FTP article to help reset the password if need be. Support is also open 24/7 to assist you as well. Thanks for posting! ^Colby Go Daddy Social Media Team

Published iWebsite pages turn red when scrolling pages in iWeb

Hi everyone,
Just wondering if I'm the only person who has this issue; when I publish my iweb sites and pages (to MobileMe) all goes well, but when I then scroll my page up and down in iWeb the site turns red again as if I have changed its content.
I've tried the usual stuff (deleted caches, prefs, logged into MM under a bogus username and password) to check if the problem is a MM issue but this also occurs when I publish to a folder...
I've repaired disk permissions and did a fresh install of OS X (10.6.7) two weeks ago.
Does anyone have any other suggestions which might solve this issue? Or perhaps even the same problem?
cheers,
koen

Brilliant OT!
Although immediately posting to the discussions group says something about my personal opinion on the reliability of iWeb ... the problem was caused as you expected; the double digit finger action.
So 'no swiping in iWeb' I suppose.
The 'turning red' of published site pages was 100% reproducible by scrolling down using my trackpad, but it doesn't happen when I use my mighty mouse or the arrow buttons/scroll bar thing. (Even although nothing was selected in iWeb, bit of a bug if you'd ask me)
Thanks again for pointing out the logical and to me not so obvious
cheers,
koen

How do I get my old iweb sites into the new iweb 08 after upgrading?

I upgraded and now the new iweb 08 does not see all my old web site pages. How do Igetnthem into the new application?

I had a similar issure after buying a new iMac and trying to get my iweb sites onto the new computer. I called Apple tech support and they told me to copy the file "domain.site" form the user/library/application support/iweb folder from my old imac into the iweb folder located in the same directory on my new computer. Once it is copied to the new location, double click on the "domain.site" file and it should open in the new iweb program. They told me to check all the pages to make sure it works OK in the program. My problem is that the new iweb program crashed everytime I double click on the "domain" file. Hope this helps.

Migrating iWeb site from '06 version to '09 version

I recently found that I could not publish a blog page using my old '06 version of iWeb and was instructed to upgrade. I just upgraded to the '09 version. It was also recommended to me that I first save my iWeb site onto a USB, which I did. I now have the new version installed on my computer and need to know how to transfer/migrate the website onto the new iWeb version.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
It was also recommended to me that I first save my iWeb site onto a USB
The file you should be backing up is named Domain.sites which is located in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. The published web site can be found on your server and doesn't need to be backed up.
With the new iWeb installed, and a backup of your domain.sites file on the USB drive, launch iWeb and it will open the domain file, convert it to the 09 version.

Hosting for IWeb Site

I created a beatiful website using iWeb - don't get me wrong, .Mac is great, but not what I am needing to promote my business. What are my options for getting my iWeb site onto the WWW? What hosts are out there that are compatible with iWeb?
Thanks,
Craig

nearly every host allows you to get your site online for iweb! common ones include:
http://yahoo.com http://godaddy.com http://1and.com http://strato.de
depending on your country - there might be better hosts!
here is how you upload your site:
