Photos on front blog page

Hi. I know that in my blog, I have a choice in the
inspector as to how many lines show up on the main
blog page -- none or all of them. But what I can't
figure out is it I can also show the photo(s) in the
entry(ies) without making a person click on "read
more."
If you look at sites at blogger.com, you can just see
everything without ever clicking, unless of course if
you want to leave a comment.
Just wondering if this functionality is somewhere and
I missed it.
Thanks a lot.

I'm a beginner and have a photo on front blog page but nothing added to either 'entries' or 'archive'. Can't I just publish a blog page plus several photo pages without having to create 'entries' and 'archive' pages? Trying to make things simple for my first Web page. (Not using .Mac)

Photo slideshow on Blog Page

Question specifically for James Tseng...
1. how do you get photo's to appear randomly and overlay one another on your "blog pages"
2. And how do you get multi images to display as mini slideshows within the i-web photo template pages
Are these third party tools you've used or features readily available within i-web.
Can't help but admire your creativity. Thank you.

Hey great work so far Mr Peebly! So sorry your thread slipped past me.
So when you open up your slideshow, check out how it interacts with the browser window. Resize the browser window by dragging the lower right hand corner smaller and larger. You will see that at a certain "wideness" your slideshow starts to recenter itself in the browser window. And at a certain "narrowness" your browser starts to put horizontal scroll bars on. This point is the exact minimum width of your slideshow and will need to be the minimum width of your <iframe>. Remember that your iframe functions like a mask, so you will want your entire slideshow to show through centered in the iframe....so you must adhere to this minimum width.
The vertical width is going to depend on how many photos and in how many columns you choose to put them. You see how your photos overflow the vertical dimensions of the page? you can go back later and experiment with iPhoto Export and see if you can better fit your photos into maybe 7 columns. but then check the minimum width as above again!
So basically to get the dimensions of your slideshow, the main thing is the minimum width. For the Postcard Viewer vertical dimension is not as important, but you want to be able to see your whole slideshow. So once you have your slideshow fixed (thumbnail-wise). Drag the browser to the point where there are no scroll bars and no re-centering. The easiest way I know of to get the dimensions of something is to use the screengrab function Apple-Shift-4 and draw a box around the slideshow. The do a Get Info (Apple-i) on the screenshot file and you will see dimensions listed there under more info. These will be the dimensions to use in your <iframes> expression as well as the size of your text box to make in iWeb.
So here we are...almost there... so far your iframes expression looks like this...
<iframe src="http://homepage.mac.com/paul.best/Slideshows" width="xxx" height="xxx" scrolling="no" border="0" style="border:none;" frameborder="0"></iframe>
Keep up the good work! I'm looking forward to seeing your finished product!

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!

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

Blog Page doesn't display all entries

I have built a site using Modern Frame template. I am using the Blog page to display member profiles. It appears the front blog page has reached it's page length limit. The oldest displayed post is not the oldest if you see what I mean. Please see http://www.dfgs.co.uk and click on the members page.
If you go to the oldest entry (member), open their profile and click next, you will note there are further entries not displayed on the blog page. Most frustrating. Anyone any suggestions? or have I exceeded the blog page length.
Thanks in advance for amy support.

What I really meant to say is, in the Inspector, how do you extend the blog page to accept more than 50 entries? Help please......

Adding a photo gallery to a blog page?

I see the last queries about being able to do this are from 2006. I'm wondering if it is any easier now. I'm creating a website for a film series project. I used a 'blog' template so I could easily manage about 20 separate films (without having scores of pages to deal with). Right now each of those 'blog' pages has a large number of free floating photos (shots from the film). They take too long to load. I'm wondering if I could create a photo gallery instead, ON the blog entry page, that would contain the pics, and allow for fast loads?
Just wondering how one might create a photo gallery on a 'blog' entry page.

Having looked at your site, I would say that you layout is very artistic and would be completely ruined by using a photos template.
DPI doesn't realy come into it as this is used for print. iWeb does have image optimization but its better to turn it off and reduce the image to the dimensions (in px) that it will appear on the web page before dragging it into the app.
If you want to maximise the SEO and make the pages more interesting for us humans, I would add descriptive captions to the images and put them in the spaces between the staggered image layout.
If you are comtemplating designing for mobile devices, you need to use every trick in the book to to reduce file sizes and cut content to the bone.
I have been using responsive designs for quite a while now and learned a lot of hard lessons along the way on what works and what doesn't on mobile devices. Some more examples HERE.
iPads are big enough for a traditional website to work on them as long as you pay attention to making the links and other user controls finger sized. I did figure out a way to make an iPhone compatible site using iWeb if you are interested...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Mobile-iWeb.html
I must admit that I detest Wordpress although there are some responsive desgns available now. I did a test with one of the free ones but its a total pain and there doesn't appear to be any plugins for HTML5, responsive media players. I had to figure this out all on my own. If you click the Blog button on this page you should get there.

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.
If you look at this page about navigation you'll see that the main navigation uses eternal links and the sub navigation internal ones....

My iWeb's main blog page has photos of entries all mixed up

My site is egsilberman.com and all but the main blog page is functioning. The index.html looks perfect, the page listing all the blog pages using the index.html in the browser looks as it should.
But after uploading the site to my FTP - using iWeb SEO Tool - the main landing page of the blog has all the photos, except the most recent entry, mixed up. The blog entries are in order, listed according to date, but the photos associated with the entries - the key photos shown on the main blog page - are all goofed up: randomly placed throughout the entries.
Oddly, all the blog pages are functioning fine. It's just the main blog landing photos that're off.
On the iWeb side I've reloaded everything from scratch...trashed caches, plists, etc, but it doesn't seem to be the problem. Again, the index.html site and blog (main page) are all in order. I'm not an expert by any means, so the change in the blog is confounding me. It was working fine until earlier this week.
Is it the SEO uploader? My FTP/host? Something I could do to help? I do not know what to do. Any advice or direction would be appreciated.
Thanks for considering this question.
Evan

Roddy, thank you for many things.
Firstly, for your clear direction in encouraging me to upload my site AFTER SEO'ing it using a dedicated FTP. I used Cyberduck. Then, following the line of thinking that the index.html needed to be uploaded as well, I did that. Simple as it sounds it took a bit of courage on my part.
This got my blog summary page photos back in line with their individual entries.
Bigger still was seeing that the index.html file I uploaded made a /Site/ reference to the "Site" folder that's local on my desktop but not present in my server's folder. And seeing this in the browser address bar, I altered the text of the index.html by eliminating the /Site. Cyberduck offered ways to do this. I pushed save.
Cedric at http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWeb_Folder_FTP.html has a helpful step by step on using FTP and Cyberduck. I followed his instruction as I went.
As tiny as this is to those of you who know the workings of your sites, it, for me, is like looking under the hood of a car and being ABLE to fix it. Not something I normally do. Maybe it'll break down in a mile. But for now it's fixed, and humming along.
I'm looking now toward getting an optimization app. If I'm correct, and I follow your publishing workflow path, Roddy, http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Website-Publishing-Wo rkflow.html, I will, after optimizing, then upload again to my server - using the post-optimized folder as the final source of feeding the server. Then you list other steps - uploading new sitemaps to all the major search engines - I purchase Rage's Sitemap Automater - will use that for that.
There is a methodical flow to all this, and I will learn it and implement it. Leaving MobileMe and moving to FTP and FTP practices was a leap.
Thanks again for your help.

Blog page not showing photo

Hi,
Quick question I just created a blog entry and the main photo from the blog entry is not coming up on the blog page.
You can see it when you click 'read more'.
thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul,
This has happened because you probably deleted the placeholder photo (the one with the stock photo of the skiers or whatever) instead of dropping another photo into it. I did this a couple times in the past, too. I really wish Apple made these placeholder boxes undeletable like the text placeholders.
Anyways, the only solution to your problem is to redo the page from scratch. I mean you can cut and paste stuff, but you need to add a new entry and then make sure to drag the photo that you want displayed INTO the placeholder box. It will replace the stock photo in there and then if you click over to the main page, you will see the summary preview photo there, too.

HT4686 How can I publish my website developed using iWeb and have all functions of the blog page work as it did with MobileMe?

I have developed a website using iWeb and it includes a blog page selected from stock pages in iWeb. I'm publishing it with GoDaddy and when I do that the interactive functions of the blog page don't work. (Adding comments and photos as well as searching). Is there any simple way to host this site somewhere so that those functions work?

No, because all those functions were MobileMe only and now that MobileMe has gone, they won't function any longer.
To enable these to function, you either need to add them yourself or change your blogging platform to something else such as WordPress etc., and create a link from iWeb to your WordPress blog or embed the blog page using iframe into your iWeb site.
Commenting systems such as Disqus or http://www.intensedebate.com work quite well.

How do I make a photo span two facing pages?

I'm doing a magazine layout in Pages '08 and have run into a problem I haven't been able to solve to my satisfaction. I want a photo (or any type of graphic) to be able to span across two facing pages. As soon as I drag the handles on the photo over past the center border between two facing pages, the part of the photo dragged to the second page disappears. I've tried bringing it to the front, duplicating the photo and placing one on one page and the second on the other, then nudging them together, but this is a really poor solution. Has anyone been able to place a photo across two facing pages? If so, how'd you do it?

Pages has never allowed an image to span a page gap. You can see how I've done it in this post.
If we expect this to change in any future versions of Pages, we need to leave feedback for the Pages team.

Can't find heading on blog page to delete...

Hello, working on a web page for my church. I used one of the "my travel" blog templates for our Pastor's Blog site. However, when you click the RSS button it takes you to the page to subscribe. At the top of that page is still says, "My Travels" I can't find it in IWeb to Delete. Any Suggestions? Here is the link.
feed://www.nwbcardmore.com/NWBC/Pastors_Page/rss.xml

The only place I see "my travels" is in a text box on the main blog page in Iweb to the right of the first photo in the template.

Having photo enlarge in Blog...need help

I need to be able to double click on photo in blog and have it enlarge to full size. This question has been asked here before but was never answered as I can see. This is a must for me to do what I need to do. I appreciate any help.
Thanks

I'm not sure that includes recommending a non-iWeb blog, but if you click once on the first photo here:
http://www.posterous.com/faq
...it will enlarge — although probably not to full size. (Click once again to return to its original size.)
And by using a non-iWeb blog, you'll avoid recurring problems such as these:
Changed theme on main blog page, lost all entries

Adding blog page + First upload - Takes a while! - Then watch it fly!

I just thought that I would share this with everyone
Having been running my site for quite a while now, without too many problems I decided that it was time to add a blog!
I follow this forum and one thing that I have noticed in the past is comments about upload time. But luckily for me this has never really been a problem, I add one page and upload it, and never has it been unreasonable (a couple of times I had to resubmit because it didn't like a picture). But I have never changed the picture, just hit Publish again! So I was really shocked last night when I published my first blog page, two failures due to pictures and on the third attempt it went through, but it did take a loooong time..
Looking at my iDisk, all of the .html files in the top level folder were modified during upload, but I stuck with it.
Today I added a second entry to my blog, and I must say, WOW! Back to the old speed that i love and know!
It seems that the first blog creation takes a while but after this all is back to normal.
Will

Jo
Yes photos in both blogs.
I have two photos the same as you, one large (I should have resized!), one not. When viewing the site you only see the smaller one.
Yes I have RSS, and when I click the button, in safari, I get an RSS feed of my blog and the large images are there as icons, which when clicked load in safari.
I am just off to resize them now, i think 800*600 should be enough.

Missing text in posts in Archive on Blog page

I need help! When I go back through my archive on my blog page for the previous 10 months through iWeb, my entries start to appear as first, missing the text, and further back, missing text and pics! I am using it as a digital diary of my baby's development so am freaking out a bit. Any idea's on what is going wrong?? Thank you!

Welcome to the discussions. It's a common problem:
_blog archives missing text but photos still show_
_Blank Blog Archive Page?_
...and you may find more threads by searching for "archive" in the +Search Forum+ bar on this forum's main page.
