Posting Your iWeb 08 site to IPOWER for Test, how I did it

Hi,
I wanted to update (completely re-do) our old marching band web site. I used iWeb for the first time for this, and created a complete site. As a test I used the MobileMe trial, everything worked well.*
Next I wanted to test the iWeb site within the old site's host, *without deleting the old site*.
The old site is on IPOWER; I could not find specific instructions for uploading the iWeb files to the IPOWER domain folder, but their live chat pointed me to the Fetch site and then a second live chat gave me the Fetch field settings.
The old site name is www.wmbpa.org.
• In iWeb, I selected the site at title level and saved; then I published it to a new folder on my desktop (not within Sites), which I named with the domain root name (in this case, "wmbpa")
• Opened Fetch and in New Connection filled in the fields per instructions from IPOWER live chat.
• After connection, I created a "wmbpa" folder INSIDE the public_html folder.
• I selected that nested folder, and in the blank fetch window "put" the index file and site folder, which had been inside the folder I created on my desktop.
• Once transfer was complete (14 minutes for about 87 MB), I was able to view the site in Safari by adding the nested folder's name to the url:
http://www.wmbpa.org/wmbpa
• When ready to get rid of the old site, I can delete all of the old files, and move the iWeb files up one level, to directly inside the public_html folder.
Hope this helps some folks.

I meant "Back to album" in the previous post; and it does not work in Safari, but it does work in Firefox. (bug?)
Anyway, the site is live now.
http://www.wmbpa.org/Welcome.html
IPOWER uses the old "public_html" root hierarchy. I created a "directory" (folder) under /public_html and I "moved" the entire old site into that folder (could also have used ftp, but no drag-and-drop).
Then (after re-publishing the iWeb site to a desktop folder) I uploaded just the *contents of the inside folder* to the server inside /public_html:
(desktopfolderImade)/index.html + (iWebsitenamefolder)/(all contents of inside folder: Welcome.html, Welcome_files, etc.)
I uploaded that way, thanks to the many posts and repeated instructions about shortening the url so the site name doesn't appear twice, mostly from the iwebformusicians guy, thank you!!

Post your iWeb '08 Sites

I would love to see what everyone else is doing with iWeb '08. Post your sites so we can all see! I will start by showing mine, any constructive feedback is appreciated!

Greetings Aimmekat (is that right?)
Hey I like your web site, generally speaking. My suggestions would be more in the arena of spacing of text. I find, as a designer, that the more 'air' I put between text lines the better it is for the eyeballs. The tighter the text lines are, the less likely are people going to read your message. That was my initial impression, at least. You'll see; if you simply spread the text a bit -- add space between the lines, you'll notice an immediate improvement in the 'feel' of the page.
Here's my site. It's my portfolio site, which I am also going to make my blog and personal site. But until I get those pages going, for now it serves as my portfolio only.

(Sorry, wasn't sure how to make it a link in this forum -- maybe you can share?)
Please know that because I am a designer, I make no claims to expert analysis of your site. The suggestions I offer are my opinion only. I'm only almost 50, so I have many years of experience to gain before I can call myself any sort of expert. Man, now that I look at what I typed, I sound like a really old ****. 50 -- can that be true?
Hey, thanx for starting this thread, It's good to see what others are doing and find some stuff I can steal and claim as my own. Isn't that what good design is, after all?
Thanx

Iweb built site moved away from mobileme, how to delete from mobileme?

I built an iweb site for a local nonprofit using mobile me to host it as I built. After it was completed, I published to a folder and ftp'd it to another host.
http://www.neverquitneverforget.org/NeverQuit_Never_ForgetGala.html
Just can't seem to figure out how in the **** to get the old stuff off the mobile me site.
I can't delete the pages in iweb. I can't delete them by going to mobileme.
Can anyone direct me to an easy solution?
Thanks in advance

Do not delete the site from iWeb whatever you do unless you have a back up of it, or you will end of re-building the site in iWeb. iWeb has no import facility, so if you don't have the relevant domain.sites2 file, then you will need to re-build the site.
You need to log into your MobileMe account and delete the site directly from your iDisk. When logged into MMe under system preferences, iDisk should come up as one of your options, so click that and delete your site from there.

Mailing off macbook for repair--how long should it take?

Sometime next week I will be mailing off my macbook to have the optical drive replaced under warranty. Since I'm mailing it to some shop in Texas and I'm not taking it to an apple store, I assume they will have the parts on hand and will fix it immediately--by the day after they receive it--right?
For those of you who HAVE mailed off your macbook for repair: how long did it take to get it back? A week? 2? 3?
Thanks!

The place you're mailing it to in Texas is one of the main facilities where Apple fixes portable computers in the US. Their turn around time is typically same day, or usually within 24-36 hours. Factor in shipping to and from (Sundays if involved) and you'll get your machine, barring any shipping incidents within 5-7 days (or less).

Is there a way to have files available for download on your iweb site?

Ok here's the question. If I wanted a image file or music file to be available for download on your iweb site.....would that be possible?
Kind of like when you go to a website and sometimes it has a link you can press to download a file. If you click the file then the "save as" or "download" window opens depending on your browser.
Is something like this available on an iweb site? If so then how would you create something like that? Any help would be appreciated.

audiophiler,
There are two ways to link to files with iWeb. The approach that iWebFaq outlines results in iWeb making a copy of the file in question and storing it in the domain.sites file. Then, when it publishes your website, it puts a copy of the file in the right place in the folders it publishes. Visitors to your site then download that copy.
You are correct that you can put things in your public folder of your iDisk for download. But the process of linking to those files is different. When you set up the link in iWeb (using the inspector) you need to choose "external link" and provide the url of the file in question.
For more background on the differences between these approaches, and the advantages of each, see this thread. That thread also has some good links for sorting out what the url of the files in your public (and other) folders of your iDisk are.

How to PROMOTE your iWeb site...............

iWeb is soooooooo user friendly.
I'm new to creating a web site and I
was wondering, how you go about
promoting my website on search
engines such as Yahoo and Google.
Any suggestions?
Cheers

Here are some more details on how to get your site listed more/better/faster:
1. Go to http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl and submit your URL. Submit both yourdomain.com and http://web.mac.com/yourusername
FYI, if you use forwarding on yourdomain.com, Google will be happier/more likely to index your mac.com addresses. No way around this.
2. Submit your site (either URL) to http://www.iwebusersites.com
3. Get other people you know to post links to your site, and you should include your url when you post in bulletin boards/forums, etc. The more places your links are, the more likely Google is to find you.
4. Add Meta tags to your pages.
Get MassReplaceIt
http://www.hexmonkeysoftware.com
Here's a page on how to use it:
http://web.mac.com/will.englefield/iWeb/WillG4PB/MRI.html
Tell it to search for
</head>
Replace with
<meta name="description" content="insert description of your site"><meta name="keywords" content="keywords for your site separated by commas"></head>
5. This is a big one: Check the text on your page - perhaps it is being converted to images. Make sure you use a web safe font, put text in text boxes, not shape boxes, and don't add effects (shadows, etc) to the text or text boxes. This way Google has something to search on your pages.
6. Create a sitemap and submit it to Google
https://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/docs/en/about.html
in conjunction with this
http://www.sitemapdoc.com/Default.aspx
There are instructions for doing this all over the forum if you do a search.
7. Wait patiently. It takes time

Have your iWeb site critiqued.

If anyone would like to have their iWeb site critiqued post it here. All graphic designers and professionals alike are encouraged to critique as well. I have been working as a graphic designer for over 8 years, and am working towards my masters degree in graphic design. I have strong knowledge about typography and layout, and can offer constructive criticisms to help improve the look of your site. Anyone who is interested is welcome to post.

Juejuegirl:
I think you have some nice things going on here. What I like the most is the "Blog" page. I think the background here and the fonts fit your theme more so than the other pages.
An important thing in design is to be consistent, especially when designing a multiple page layout. This will bring the site together as a whole. Having the navigation menu change for each page can be a bit confusing and can "throw off" the viewer.
Maybe finding a page you really like (my vote is for the blog page) and matching the other pages to this style would bring the whole site together.
Also, you don't want to use too many different type faces. I would use the same font and style for subheadings throughout (say Garamond semibold 14 pt), and then for the paragraph text below a contrasting font (say Arial or Verdana 10 pt.) This will embed in the viewers head and they will be able to navigate through the site easily.
For example on the "who are we" page you have the subheading "who lives downtown", and then paragraph type below it. This looks nice, but then immediatly below it the next subheading "featured product" and its paragraph type changes. Make these the same throughout and your site will become more cohesive.
If you stick with the first page, bring up the blog button so the nav menu is on one line. Its hanging by itself right now, and needs to be with its buddies.
Hope this is useful. Nice job.

How do you hyperlink a rollover to another page from within your iweb site?

Ive made a bunch of rollovers for my iweb navigation bar. If youve created a rollover you know you have to link the images to a image hosting site. here as you would just normally drag and drop a image from your desk top. Because of the way iweb works, if you are using images from a image hosting sit, you can no longer adjust the characteristics of the images i.e. colors, size, and in this case the hyperlink. More specifically you cant change the hyperlink to a page within the iweb site.
So the problem im trying to figure out is how to link the rollover to a page within my iweb site.
now you can actually change the hyperlink of the rollover. however you must do this by adjusting the html within the snippet of the rollover. The problem i found is that iweb doesnt creat sub domains for each page. a entire iweb site with multible pages uses only one domain which is the homepage. so i cant just type a subdomain of another page into the snippet hyperlink because the subdomain doesnt exist.
here is the link to my site. youll notice i did figure out a work around with the "contact us" button but its a huge pain in the butt. i had to create a new domain and a new site then attach the referal index.html to that new domain. todo this for every single button is very difficult.
http://springgardenranch.tk
so i guess the bigger question is, is there a easier way to do this?
perhaps if there was a way to create a subdomains like springgardenranch.tk/contactus withing iweb for each page. but i dont even know if thats possible.
thanks for you help.

Because of the way iweb works, if you are using images from a image hosting sit, you can no longer adjust the characteristics of the images i.e. colors, size, and in this case the hyperlink.
Then use your own images. Then you can create them the way you want.
Here's how I do it :

And here's the menu in an iWeb page :

And here you can learn how to do it. Follow the links to the How-To pages.

You may have to learn HTML. CSS, JavaScript, AJAX, DOM and how iweb creates its webpages.

Using iWeb to build a Blog for an existing non-MobileMe Site

I have a large, existing website that is hosted on One World Hosting (OWH). I have liked creating blogs using iWeb.
1. Is there a way for me to create a blog using iWeb and then upload it and embed it into my OWH website?
2. That website was largely created under Adobe Creative Suite 1. It will soon have a new website side, CSS and Javascript navigation system in the Head and in the Footer or each of its page. I would assume that I would need to replace or modify the iWeb created Head and Footer source code by copying in my new CSS and Javascript code so that the blog will look and operate seamlessly with the rest of this site. Will iWeb give me problems if I attempt to do this?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The following are features lost when publishing iWeb sites to a non MobileMe server:
Features Unavailable When Publishing to a Non-Mac Server:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ Enhanced slideshows
So if you want comments and searches in your blog you'll have to go with a 3rd party blogging site. Actually you would be better served using a proven blogging site and then embed it in one of your iWeb site pages like in this demo page: Embed One Site Within an iWeb Page.

Hosting Your iWeb Site From Your Mac

If you don't have a .Mac account or you don't want to pay a monthly fee to host your new website you created with iWeb, you can use OS X's built-in Apache Web server. To accomplish this, follow the steps in the link below.

I was able to get this to work, using the same configuration you mention. The way I did it was to set up the IP address on my LAN using fixed static addresses, and to have the router "forward" the http packets to the Mac running Apache. In Network system preferences panel, you also need to set the DNS servers address to the address of the router on the LAN. In order to reduce hackers trying to break in, I don't use the standard port 80 for my address, but use some other 4-digit port (e.g., 8182), so my website address ends up looking like www.whatever:8182. Instead of "no-IP.com" I used the free dynamic name service from http://www.dyndns.com/. I also put the web content on a firewire disk, which requires a little editing of the httpd.conf file. This was another security precaution. Anyhow, its been working great -- not a single problem. Also, Weblock is great shareware that lets you assign login IDs on the web folders.

Can my iWeb '08 site be fixed,or do I need to just wait for an iWeb update?

Ever since my "upgrade" to iWeb '08, the text in my webpages does not appear. I haven't changed any fonts or colors. I have had to put my website back to it's iWeb '06 version.
Cyclosaurus mentioned that my "text box elements has attribute style.visibility set to hidden" and that I might be able to correct it if I were javascript saavy, I should be able to turn visibility attribute to visible with a few lines of javascript.
How do I do this? Does anyone know any quick javascript that I could cut-and-paste, maybe within an iWeb HTML Widget, that could counteract the "attribute style.visibility set to hidden"? Perhaps I can do this until Apple fixes this Bug/Glitch in iWeb '08.
Can my iWeb '08 site be fixed,or do I need to just wait for an iWeb update? Please help.
Thanks.

Why there is no MBAM product at Connect Microsoft Portal? I´m not so interested into login some 3rd party partner site just because of providing feedback for MS. Isn´t MBAM important service for MS, that you don´t added it to your regular feedback site?
Hope you take this feedback forward. I would also like to submit, that 2.5 verson has some lacks when controlling Windows to Go aka USB stick encryption. I would love to see MBAM Client to take full control of it, not OS.
Thanks :)
