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.

  • 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 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.

    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.

  • Photo problems in blog entries...

    I am having problems with photos and images displaying in blog entries. I am able to place photos in the text of my blog entries but upon publishing some will display and some won't (in any web browser or system used).
    I have tried emptying Safari caches and reloading pages but to no avail. Some photos are still missing (they are displaying as a small question mark when viewed online).
    What's worse is that reinserting the photos in iWeb and then republishing will make some of the missing photos appear on my site while others that were displaying okay previously will now be gone.
    The result is that many of my blog entries are always missing photos.
    Examples of this can be seen by clicking to view the various entries here:
    http://web.mac.com/jtbcmac/iWeb/MaiTai/MontrealTiki/Archive.html
    and here:
    http://web.mac.com/jtbcmac/iWeb/MaiTai/OtherArticles/Archive.html
    I am currently trying to reload things, so pages may or may not look ok when you view them.

    UPDATE:
    All seems to be fine now... after making minor changes on each of the affected pages and republishing a couple of times.
    But I have a feeling the problem will re-occur... as it has in the past... when I make a new blog entry.

  • 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.

  • Drag multiple photos to create many blog entries at once?

    I wanted to make many blog entries at once from some photos. This is trying to catch up with many entries at once, and make basically photo pages with one photo and more than just a caption (like you get with a photo page).
    I did this by the usual method when I first tried iweb (try something, it works...). Then I noticed that it just assigned today's date to all the entries. I didn't want that, so I deleted all of them. Then I found out you could edit the dates...
    Now, I want to recreate all those entries again, and I can't for the life of me repeat that initial 'try it, it works' of just making many blog entries all at the same time. I can't remember if it was a drag in, or what...
    help!
    Doesn't help that iweb goes to SBOD when I first open the media browser for 10 min...

    Peter...
    I have not tried this myself, so I'm not sure if this is what you did....but try this...
    In iPhoto, select all the photos (Apple-click to select multiple photos) that you want to send to your blog pages. Then do you see the iWeb icon at the bottom of the iPhoto window there??? Click on it and select "publish to photoblog". See if this is what you were looking for...

  • Blog entry without photo

    Is there an easy way to add a blog entry without a photo? It defaults to the page with the photo. I deleted the photo, but then the text remains in the same place with a large blank space between the top of the page and the text. This seems cumbersome to add a simple text-only entry.
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    When I delete a photo from the entry page I would like the text at the "main blog page" to use the whole width of the entry. Instead is a big white hole where the photo should have been and the text is still formatted to the right or left of the empty photo holder. Any way to get around this?

  • Blog entry didn't show up on blog summary page. ¿Por qué?

    RE: Blog
    Last night I wrote a blog entry, but the first few sentences did NOT show up on the blog summary page. I previously had set the blog entry length to be short (toggled far to the left), but there is a difference between a short length and NO length at all.
    Why do you suppose this happened?
    INFORMATION: Prior to writing the blog entry I was having difficulty with the picture not showing up on the blog entry page, and in trying to edit it and move text around I might have messed up some registration lines, or LINES. Could that have had an effect? I must say that of all the things involved in iWeb, this Blog feature has given me the most problems and made me the angriest. Just thinking about it right now has created a tight knot in my chest.

    Go back to your main blog summary page in iWeb. Open
    the Inspector to the RSS tab and slide the text
    excert slider to show ALL (all the way to the right).
    Does ANY of your blog text show up in this
    particular entry?
    .......... Lorna says ................................................
    Well, Inspector Tseng, I toggled to the *Show All* position, and heheheh, none of the blog entry showed on the blog summary page.
    If not, then perhaps you entered
    your text in a different text box....did you add a
    text box to the page? If it does, then maybe you
    have some preceding spaces in the text box? Or
    maybe you inserted a photo into the text box
    inadvertently?
    .......... Lorna says ................................................
    James, last night I was having so many dang blasted flippin cockamamie problems with the picture that I moved a bunch of things around and recall making a new text box and typing into it. Grrrr.
    I am going to return there and copy and paste and delete that page. I feel very bad that I cannot master the blog after so much stupid time. I also think that the blog needs to be more idiot proofed so that normally OK actions in other iWeb scenarios don't end up as yet another disaster on the ash heap of broken iWeb dreams.

  • Blog summary page echoes blog entry but not the pic...?

    My blog summary page echoes my blog entries' text but not the image file.  I either get the stock photo that comes in the template, or no image at all.  What's wrong?

    Never mind folks...Once I submitted this, I found an identical query in the "More LIke This" box at the side of this page that gave me my answer.  I have another question now that I'll pose in a new thread...

  • Linking to Adobe PDF on blog entry crashing iWeb

    Help! I have been using iWeb to create a website and blog. In a recent blog entry, i linked to an Adobe PDF file on my computer. The link was functioning and working fine, and then I saved the entry and iWeb crashed. I managed to open it back up by sending photos from iPhoto to iWeb. The other pages of the website work fine, and other blog posts also work fine. I tried publishing and the site published. However, in both iWeb and online, the blog post with the linked PDF is now just blank. The PDF works fine on its own and is not corrupted.
    I have tried editing the post as well as deleting it in iWeb, but every time I click either button iWeb crashes and gives me an error message. I cannot duplicate the blog post either. This would somehow be okay, but I cannot add a new blog entry in iWeb either (it crashes). other pages are unaffected. I have not attempted deleting the entire blog portion of the website yet. Is there anything I can do to get rid of the malfunctioning blog post besides deleting the whole website and starting from scratch? Bear in mind the back-up of the Domain I saved was after I saved the blog post. Is there a 3rd party app that I can open my Domain in to manually remove the blog entry, or someway to access the code to delete the data that way?

    This JUST happened to me as well after linking to a PDF file but now I can't get iWeb to load up, well, it opens and I can see the inspector pane but that is all...the main window is not there and I can't seem to figure out how to get it.
    I also noticed a bunch of iWeb stuff in the trash now in a "recovered files" folder.
    Any ideas?

  • I want to insert a picture into a body of text in a blog entry page.

    This has me stumped. I did it once but cannot do it again.
    How can I place a picture into a body of text? I have a print-out from the HELP menu but it is not clear. It talks of inline and fixed objects. I think I want a fixed object -- one that does not move along with the text as the text grows/moves along the page incrementally.
    Because I am working with the photo on a blog entry page I cannot do the Choose Insert > Choose > Select the file, and click insert. I cannot because (1) The picture has to stay on the page in that Magic Frame, and (2) the choosing capability of the iWeb program does not enable someone to go inside the iWeb program and land on a certain page.
    I am working on the blog page. Instead of a tiny little picture of a doll at the top of the page, I want to raise all of the text and put the little doll's head inside the text body.
    I am so stumped. The instructions are not clear at all.

    Well i did exactly what your trying to do...go to
    http://www.mac-switch.com
    and view the blog "power button shortcut"
    Go to the section you want to add the photo
    to...Click "insert" then "choose" and choose the file
    you want to put in there.
    Good luck
    Rob.
    Hi Rob......
    You know, I went to that Power Button Shortcut blog and for the life of me, your point went flying over my brains -- I just did not get what point you were making to me. The Power Button thing was not what I was trying to do. I was trying to put a PICTURE of a doll's head inside a body of text. That means I had to get text wrap to kick in, and..........
    But the bottomest line is, I finally did it. I don't know how I did it because I was in a state of just clicking around, trying to move text. It's a long story to duplicate, but I went through several steps and since it was just desperation moves I was doing, I don't have a set of notes to go by for the next time.
    The hard part, or one of them, was to get the Text Inspector to make he Text Wrap workable. For a long time , no matter what I did, the Text Wrap option remained greyed out. It was maddening. Then for reasons that I cannot recreate in an orderly fashion, I got the Text Wrap option to get bolded out, and thus an option.
    Thank you for trying. BTW, I think your pages look wonderful and very slick (which I think is the right look for what you want to do with your website).

  • Blog entry: macs can't see, pc's can?

    I am unable to view the text or main photo of my blog entry. It looks fine in iWeb, and all PC users can view - just not those on a mac? I can't see the text or main photo on my mac at work either. I have tried re-publishing several times, but for some reason, this blog entry is giving me problems. Thanks in advance for any advice!

    can't help but noticed your page name, especially this part: %E2%80%A8
    that is unicode escape sequence for line separator:
    http://unicode-search.net/unicode-namesearch.pl?term=separator
    did you happen to copy+paste from another app?
    you need to rename the page with standard ASCII characters and no special characters

  • Is there a blog entry limit?

    I've been searching the forums for an answer, but haven't been able to find one. Before moving from Rapid Weaver to iWeb 2.0 (my blog), I am interested in knowing whether there is a limit to the number of individual blog entries you can have in iWeb?
    Another quick question. . . the iWeb's Help Viewer says that you can add images using a media placeholder. When I insert a placeholder (and image) into a blog entry, the image shows up fine there. But none of the images show up on the summary page.
    I have made sure that the excerpt setting allows plenty of room for the image, in fact, text under the image shows up in the summary, but there's just a blank space where the image should be.
    Does the blog summary page no longer support placeholders/images within an entry?

    There is an *+iWeb '08 Getting Started Manual PDF+* on line:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iWeb08_GettingStarted.pdf
    This is on Page 16 from the above manual:
    "To add a new blog entry:
    1 In the sidebar, click Entries.
    2 Click the Add Entry button.
    The new entry appears below the Title list with placeholder text and graphics.
    3 Double-click the placeholder text to change the title and add your own text to the entry.
    4 Drag graphics from iPhoto or elsewhere on your computer to replace the placeholder graphics. (If the Media Browser isn’t open, click Media in the toolbar and then click Photos to access your photos.)
    If you make changes to a blog entry, such as changing the font or the background color, you can duplicate the entry the next time you add an entry and keep the same formatting."
    There may be more info to read that you may need!

  • Blog entries via email?

    Hi all,
    Anyone know if the new blog utility in iWeb/.mac will support adding entries via email from a handheld device such as a blackberry?

    I'd done something similar long ago, sent an email to my home machine, AppleScript intercepted the email, parsed the subject line and turned on X-10 power module. It was like having Tom Bodett at home.
    As for iWeb, the concept is do-able. But at the current state, iWeb is not quite scriptable. You can add a photo blog entry, but it only has images property, so you can't enter any text for it.
    Perhaps, next rev.

  • 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.
