Photos in Blog Excerpts

I've been working with I web a while. I'm trying to create a blog that not only displays the entire entry in the except, but displays a few of the images within the text of the blog. It seems that all the setting only allow for the "placeholder" image to appear. This is confusing because the inspector option reads "display photos" plural. Is there a way to create a blog where people wont have to click into the entry and still display the photos.

You are trying to get fancy, you are making too many changes to your template. The original photo on the template page is the one that is linked to the blog index. You probably deleted that one because it wasn't taking your photos aspect. Unfortunately if you delete it, you have lost that blog entries index photo.
To fix this, create a new entry and copy and paste all the contents from your broken entry into the new entry, but LEAVE the initial photo on screen and just paste your index photo into it. If it is not the right aspect, click the Unmask button so you can see all of your photo. Don't forget to double click on the date and set it to the date of the original entry. Once the two entries are identical you can delete the original entry.
The entry will replace the original and the photo will show in the index.

Slow download speeds for my photo/travel blog downloads- how can I speed up

I am trying to make some modifications to my iweb photo/travel blog site to shorten the time it takes to download, particularly on visitors using pc's. It takes over a minute to download a days post if visitor has ultra fast connection speed and 2 or 3 min. with average DSL speeds. My archive page is the slowest as it has now become the longest page... tho it has no pics and graphics to speak of.
My pics are hi resolution, is that the problem or am i posting too many... usually 10 to 15 per daily post with some text boxes to boot??? on the archive page, can I split it up some how into 2 or 3 pages or by month?? thanks for helping a new mac user. mark.

It's a function of your iPhone's data speed, which is a function of your physical location and your carrier. Talk to your carrier about increasing your data speed (probalby unlikely) or get dedicated internet to connect your computer to, i.e. cable, fiber, etc.

Blog excerpt text but without a pic

Hi There,
Is there any way of showing blog entry excerpt text on the blog home page, but without showing the pic?
When I move the excerpt length slider, it jumps from a pic and some excerpt text, to no pic and no excerpt text (Just the entry title and date).
Any help would be much appreciated.

hi ben,
you need to delete the WHOLE pre-set picture place holder in the one entry. If you then place your own photo (in NO place-holder) it will show a longer excerpt but without the picture!

Double-click on photo in blog to enlarge?

Is it possible to enable my blog so that viewers can double-click on a photo to enlarge it?

Thanks Staussa.
I've already been to preferences in iweb, iphoto, finder and back again.
Can't seem to find anything that works.
Seems like there should be a simple solution!

How to post more than one photo on blog page

Can you post more than the top placeholder photo on a blog page? I'd like to post photos as they relate to the blog I'm writing but can only use the placeholder photo at the top of the entry page--is it possible to place more photos on the page or do you have to use a web layout and not a blog layout?
Thanks.

It is possible because I Do it on my blog. All you have to do is click he media button and get the photo you want, I then drag it to the desktop, and then drag it into my blog. For some reason iweb can get a little wonkey and makes it look like it can't be done, but it can. Good luck!

Iweb doesn't publish blog or photos correctly + "Blog Summary Widget" error

Hello,
I recently upgraded my iLife to 08 and am having trouble with iWeb on two accounts.
1. My blog doesn't display online correctly, and instead I get the "Blog Summary Widget" error.
2. Any new albums do not display the photos.
In both cases I cannot see my menu at the top but get a black dot instead.
I have updated to 2.0.4 in iWeb but this hasn't solved anything.
I have tried rebuilding the blog but that doesn't work either.
At this point I have simply put a message on my blog saying it's down, but need to find a problem.
Any solutions? I haven't foung one on here yet.
Thanks.

To see the problem go to http://web.mac.com/robruhn
I don't seen any problem. Perhaps it is just your local browser cache? Try clearing your cache and using another browser.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how the pc
user can form the link?
http://web.mac.com/robruhn should work just fine, unless the person at the other end is mistyping it or something. I would suggest that you get rid of the space in your site name and republish, as that might cause problems for some systems (i.e. change Site 3 to Site3 or Site-3 or Site_3).

IWeb losing, and then corrupting photos in Blog entries

I have an odd problem, and really need some help!
I've been posting blog entries with pictures at the end of the text for many months now (over 150 entries), and only recently have run across this problem. After creating a new blog entry, I post the site, and after the site is published, will go to the site and see that the picture in the blog index is fine, but when anyone visits the page of that blog entry, the pictures at the end of the text are gone, and the picture at the start of the blog has a box with an X in it. When I go back into iWeb, the file will either be fine, or will have the X and all of my past posts will have it as well. When I try to re-drag the picture in, it is saying the picture is corrupt. Yet somehow, the next day on the web, the pictures magically appear and all seems fine (after trying to republish several times). This has happened for the past week or so, but seems to be worse as of late.
I don't know if this is because of occassional connection outages (which seem to happen fairly often) and pictures not completely loading, even though iWeb thinks they are, or if this is from problems on the .mac servers, or problems on my computer with iWeb. I've tried quitting and rebooting, which worked the first time or two that this happened, but no longer helps.
It's one thing if iWeb is not working correctly, but if this is now corrupting my photos in iPhoto, this is a serious defect! Apple, PLEASE make the next version more stable - we're I just getting started and seeing this, I would have dumped iWeb, but after 4 months and many many entries, it is not easy to move this to a TypePad or other site.

I'm having this same problem. Is this a known bug?
On my iWeb site, the pictures in my blog keeping getting "corrupted" and are unusable, and the only way I can get iWeb to accet them again is to export them from iPhoto, do a save-as, and re-import them into iPhoto.
Please tell me there is some sort of fix.

Photos in Blog Summary Not Appearing

Here's my site:
http://www.msadesign.com/msadesign/Blog/Blog.html
Notice that there are no images in the Blog Summary. This is really confounding. The image in the summary should be the same image that is ion the top of the blog post.
Here's a post as an example:
http://www.msadesign.com/msadesign/Blog/Entries/2010/6/3A_Xeric_DemonstrationGarden.html
I've tried changing the type of placement, but I do not know what else to try.
Anyone had this issue?
Michael

That's what I thought, too, but since all of the posts are without the image, I'm thinking it must be something else.
or you may not set blog summary to display the entry image place holder.
in iweb, in blog summary page... click on the entry excerpt and you get a HUD, you can select different Placement display (upper left, and a small downward triangle to the side).
iweb generates iweb:image element in the blog-main.xml (rss file), that in turn; it is used by blog summary widget to render the preview image in blog summary.
I'm hoping that you'll provide a translation here? Sounds like something I can fix?
btw, your blog-main.xml does not have any iweb:image element.
Ditto. It is the image element that is missing but how is it replaced?
the image place holder in blog entries tell iweb to generate the code or you didn't set the correct placement as I mentioned above.

Arranging photos in blog

Hello All,
I am trying to right justify an inline, text wrapped photo in a blog. I have the text wrapping okay, but I cannot get the photo to right justify. The "Arrange" menu options normally available for fixed photos become grayed out when I make the photo inline. Being an inline photo I have also tried right justifying it from the text section of the inspector, however this is also grayed out. The "X" and "Y" position options are also unavailable in the "Objects" section of the inspector.
I'm out of ideas here. Anyone have any thoughts?
Steve

Thanks for the reply Wyodor, but I already have the picture pasted as an inline object with the text being successfully wrapped. My problem is that anything I do to align the picture to the right side of the text box does not seem to work. If you have any videos that can show me how to accompish that one further step I'll be all the way home.

How to Link to iWeb Photos from Blogs

I used one iWebsite to serve as a repository for photos I'd include in various blogs I write. I had always been able to easily drop a link into the graphics insert window when creating a new blog.
With the upgrade to v2 of iWeb as part of iLife '08, those links are all gone. As well, I can't seem to figure out how to reestablish the links to the photos on iWeb - all I can do is create a link to a slide show or the page on which the photos resided.
Would appreciate help.

In the past, when I'd establish a link to a photo on one of my iWeb pages, I'd open the photo by clicking on it - a new window would appear with ONLY that photo on it, and I'd drag and drop the photo into the link drop box on the blog site's graphic insert index.
NOW, when I click on the photo, I get slide show or download options - if I try to drag the photo into the link drop box on the blog site's graphic insert index, the entire web page URL is what is inserted - and you see an image of the entire web page.
Each photo doesn't have it's own URL anymore - so how can you (can you?) establish a link to an individual image on a page?

Photos in Blog entries

Okay so the photos that I put into blog entries are default 400x300. If I try to put in a picture with different dimensions it cuts part of the picture off. Now if I delete the placeholder image and then insert the pic I want that works fine but then when I look at list of blog entries that does not show up I have to actually go into that blog entry to see it.
What can I do to either change the behavior that placeholder image uses to not cut images off that are bigger than 400x300 or make it so that once I delete that place holder the image I use shows up in the blog article list not just on that entries page.

I had this headache awhile back, and I put up this page that kinda describes what's going on. And, there's a workaround as well.
http://web.mac.com/makentosh/iWeb/tipsfromtheiceberg/Blog/54D7F1A1-8604-4723-838 B-C3C164BD5102.html
The problem is, the workaround means that there's empty space between the edges of your pic and the border. What you can try to do is fix up your so that dropping it in the placeholder makes it look good on the entries page, then go into the inspector and set that placeholder's image opacity to zero. Then, just drop in the image you want to display on the entry page.
This way, you get an image that you've customized specifically for the main page, plus you can still display the image as you want to on the entry page.

I have problems viewing photos in blogs using Blogger

I have a couple of blogs that I frequent and lately (within the last month or so), I am having trouble viewing photos the bloggers have posted. Sometimes the first photo will seem to load, but by the time the entire page has loaded, where there is a photo, all I can see if a small rectangle. These are bloggers who are using Blogspot/Blogger. No one else seems to be having a similar problem.
I have Firefox 3.6.13.
I have tried all the recommended things, clear cache, cookies etc. and I still can't see the photos.

Thanks cor-el
Tried all of the suggestions and it seems not to be due to an extension or theme.
The problem only seems to occur on blogs at the *.blogspot.com address, who are using Blogger software.
I wonder if there is some incompatibility between a recent version of Blogger and Firefox?? I have tried contacting Blogger, to see if there are problems, with no success, although I have found 2-year-old posts on the Web indicating some problems at that time -- nothing recent though and no suggested fix.
Any ideas?

Missing photos on blog page

OK... I'm loving iWeb, but having a strange time when adding photos to my blog page. I'll add a photo at the top of the new entry page, but when I go back to the blog page... or try to look at it on the web, some of the photos are there and some aren't and I can't find a reason for it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Not sure exactly what you are tring to do and I'm not really sure just how the blog page is supposed to work, but I delete the latin text in the text block that is attached to the bottom area of the page. the area where the apple logo, etc is. I collapse the box as small as it will go, grab the box itself and move it down to allow more room for pictures. I just keep moving it down as necessary stacking pictures as I go. Seem a bit cumbersome, but it works.
hope that makes sense.
good luck

Photos to blog

I am looking for a website that I can load photos from iPhoto to in order to download them to my blog. All of the sites that I have found seem to just work with windows. Any help would be appreciated.

Try copying them and then inserting/pasting them into the text box. This demo page shows how: Photos and Shapes in Text Box with Wraparound. The video at the top shows how in action.

Photos on blogs entries

I've successfully created many blog entries. I always use the standard new blog entry and put a photo in it. Twice, I have gone back after publishing and changed the photo on the blog entry page. After I publish though, the main blog page never updates with the new photo. As a result, two of my entry pages out of about a total of 30 have a different photo then what appears on the main blog page. Is there a way to correct this?

The photo on a blog page is dropped into a placeholder. When you changed the photo you probably deleted it and dragged in a new one. By doing this you deleted the placeholder.
Go to another "correct" blog page, highlight the photo in the placeholder, copy it and paste it to the page you are trying to repair. Now you have a placeholder and can drag a new photo in to replace the one that's there.
