Print iWeb blog into book

I want to make my iWeb created blog into a book. Is there an easy way to do it? I found a post about saving the page as a PDF but if the blog post is too big the photos are cut off. I resized the PDF but then the font is tiny and the page looks weird. (I previously had a blog on Blogger and would use Blurb.com to make a book. iWeb doesn't slurp into Blurb.)

This might not quite be what you're looking for but last year I printed my travel blog into a "home made" book.
What I did was print out the blog pages double-sided on my Canon printer that allows double-sided printing. I used good ink-jet paper so the colours wouldn't bleed through. Then I used a Canon +Photo Album Kit+ and +Image Buddy+ to arrange the blog's album pictures on the pages to print the pictures. The Canon Album kit comes with 10 double-sided pages and a hard-cover to slide all the pages into. I used their thin paper as a separator between the photo pages. I ended up using more double-sided Canon photo paper and also more regular paper to add things like maps, itinerary etc. Even with all the additions the whole album has held together over the whole year and probably holds about 100pp in all.
It's not quite as professional a product as an Apple-produced hard-cover book, but we thought it quite acceptable and while it was relatively time-consuming the first time round, it did do what we provide the book for us.

  • Iweb blog to book?

    Is anything available yet to take my iweb blog entries & print them off in book form?
    I have iweb version 3.0.4

    No.  That's not an option in iWeb.  You'll have to copy and paste each page of your blog into whatever document you choose for creating the book.

  • Turn blog into book?

    Hello! I use iWeb to write a blog and I also use iPhoto to make books of our photos. Is there anyway to transfer the content from my blog into a book? If not, that would be an awesome function to add to the next iLife update!
    If there is no way to do this within iPhoto or iWeb, does anyone know of an online service that will successfully pull the content from my iWeb blog using the RSS feed and put it into a book?
    Thanks in advance,
    Chanda Schuh

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That question has been asked before and there's no way to download all of the archived content so you can add to an iPhoto book.
    You might be able to take screenshots of the site, section by section and use them. Or there's an application, Paparazzi@, that can take snapshots of long web sites in pdf, jpg or gif format. Then you could crop the long image file down to sections that would fit an iPhoto book.
    Might be a lot of work, however.

  • Transfer old 1.0 iweb blog archive into a new template

    I want to change templates for my iweb blog. Is there a way to copy my old blog archive into the new site. I'd hate to loose all the old content.
    Thanks

    Unfortunately, as of this moment with iWeb 1.1.1 there is no way to change themes/templates for pages that are already published. You will have to recreate your blog in order to use a new template. Alternatively, I guess you could just start a new blog with the new template.

  • Moving existing Blogger blog into iWeb site

    I have an existing web site and am recreating it using iWeb
    This includes a blog of some years which is created via Blogger.
    Can I import my blogger blog (or the code from it) into an iWeb page so that it has the same look and feel?
    I'd also wnat to ensure that whenever I publish changes to the iWeb site that it does not overwrite the Blogger Blog page - is this possible?

    Keith ~ iWeb doesn't have an import capability. And even if it did, I would recommend you stick with Blogger — that way you'll avoid recurring problems such as these:
    Changed theme on main blog page, lost all entries
    Lost two years of blog comments
    ...iWeb's blog is simply not a robust one — see the following thread started by a concerned person which has a satisfactory ending with a non-iWeb blog:

  • Can photo albums be viewed on iWeb blog if you don't have 08?

    Recently tried to create a blog with a couple of my photo albums on it. Unfortunately I am having some trouble doing it. I hope don't need the new iLife to do that task. I tried to click and drag he photo album from I photo onto the iWeb blog page...to no avail.

    bitslap47, thanks for your input as well.
    Unfortuneately, I'm a real newbie, and though I have Outlook 2002 I never used it for my contacts, so I have to input them somewhere, so I 'think' the easiest way for me is to input them directly into the Outlook Express and save me the 'possible' pain of transferring.
    But THANK YOU for the information which I will save for future use.
    Thanks again:)!

  • Iweb Blog ftp or mobile me?

    I have just designed a website in iweb that I ftp through godaddy. Took a while to make that decision, but at least I have complete design control! I am doing pretty well and now at the search rankings stage and realize that iweb isn't great at that. Read some of the articles here on search rankings and downloaded the SEO guide and going to take actions with that, and also bought the godaddy search optimisation pack and intend to place the metatags/descriptions etc on my pages.
    BUT, I now want to design a second site which is just a blog, which obviously isn't showing up through godaddy, so need to mobileme it. But, with a blog, how do you add the metatags etc to the pages, and are their individual pages for each blog posting? Does mobile me make it easy to go into each file and make the blog searchable? Just not sure whether to just design blog pages myself in iweb rather than their formatted ones, and use godaddy instead?
    So, in short - mobile me with formatted iweb blog? or design own blog and ftp with godaddy - which makes the pages more searchable?

    Welcome to the discussions. You'll probably have better luck making your blog pages more searchable if you use a dedicated blogging platform — most of them allow tags to be specified.
    MobileMe is slow and problems with iWeb's blog are a recurring theme on these forums. For a success story with a non-iWeb blog hosted on WordPress, see this old thread:
    To blog or not to blog
    And to link to an external blog from iWeb's navbar:
    Create a blank internal page titled "Blog" (Actually you can name the page whatever you want.) Then in that Blog page add an HTML Snippet with the following code:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    parent.window.location = "http://www.yourblogname.com"; // change this to your own URL
    </script>
    ...Once published, clicking on "Blog" in the navbar will immediately redirect to your external Blog page. (Thanks to Cyclosaurus for the code).
    SEO is important to you, but iWeb is designed for personal sites and, as such, Apple apparently thinks there's no need for Google. Web-design apps for business sites tend to integrate SEO — Sandvox Pro is an example:

  • How to copy iWeb blog to new iWeb site?

    Hi Folks,
    I am able to successfully move, via drag and drop, my blog from an old iWeb site to a new one in iWeb.
    However, what I want to do is to preserve the old blog as a backup, and them start updating and chagging the blog contet in the new iWeb site. I actually use the blog on my site as a way to list courses.
    I've tried to copy files in the iWeb site files, and then reopen iWeb, and I can't see the blog page listed.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Inoshi

    To be able to drop and drag from one site to another in iWeb, you firstly need to have iWeb 09.  You then need to open the relevant domain.sites file and you need to have the sites underneath each other, so Site1 above and then Site2 below and all you do is just click on the Blog page on Site1 and just drag it over and down to Site2.
    You can't do it individually, but you need to drag from one site to another.
    I would also advise that you don't use the iWeb blog, as it is not that good and there are better alternatives out there.
    You might like to look at some new software too such as EverWeb - http://www.everwebapp.com.  It is very like iWeb, but is actively supported and developed whereas for the last 2 years, iWeb has not been and has not been sold by Apple either.
    If you wanted a better blogging system, you could transfer your whole website into WordPress.org.  You need to install it on a server at your web host, but it might serve you better and you can create a blog it you want to and you can extend it with the use of plugins.  Would not take too long to re-create depending on the size of your site and it is relatively easy to use compared to the other CMS's.
    Think about changing before iWeb becomes unusable.

  • IWeb Blog to non-.mac Domain

    Hello good folks,
    I have my business Website at its own (non apple) domain. I would like to use iWeb to create a blog, and then attach that blog to my business Website. (Therefore, it would be an alternative to wordpress, blogspot, etc.)
    Is this
    -- possible?
    -- advisable?
    -- easy?
    -- pain?
    A secondary question: If those answers are a reasonable "yes," then is it possible to update my blog from both my Mac Pro and my PowerBook, and still keep everything reasonably organized?
    Many thanks, as always.

    Mireille,
    The helpful tips and product review 'blog' is an 'add-on' to our online store which has a shopping cart and it's SEO set ups that work well. It was made from a template in GoLive. The store is the primary concern and the blog is intended to be a convenient format to provide useful dynamic content to drive search engines and customers to our store.
    If I could figure out to use something besides a frame I would as I understand the frames are not search engine friendly either. After submitting the sitemap for the blog, it was interesting to see that only the apparent entries get listed in Google. So, it appears that it is dependent on how many 'excerpts you show' in iWeb and not the archives and it's content.
    If there is a sitemap generating app that will point Google to the content in the archives, I'd be very interested to know about it and how effective it is. I've found site search options I can add to the blog content if I load it directly to the site and set up pages versus frames....if the content can be searchable and generate the proper site map.
    Here's an interesting page from Rage: http://www.ragesw.com/blog/2008/04/12/seo-for-iweb-how-to-get-your-iweb-websites -into-google-other-major-search-engines/ (which I notice you responded to....:-) )
    What does Rage do that this free option I used do better? http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/

  • Move iWeb blog to WordPress?

    Hello,
    I hope someone can help me. I have a blog at a MobileMe site that will soon disappear. The address is web.me.com/tjkk2 . I now have a WordPress blog and would love to move the entries at this old site into the new WordPress one. Is there a way that this can be done? If someone could point me the way forward to do this, I would be most grateful.
    Thank you very much.

    Not sure if you already went through with copying and pasting your blog posts, but I just found this tool that lets you import your iWeb blog posts and comments to wordpress.

  • Google Analytics Automator breaks iWeb blog comments

    Hi
    I added a blog for our Small Business site that I created with iWeb. We used Google Analytics and the Automator script add the HTML snippet to track visits on our site. Since I added the blog I realized that after running the GA automator script the "Add a comment" link disappears.
    Kinda defeats the purpose of the blog. I have to choose between tracking how many visitors have been on the blog, or visitors posting comments, but I can't have both. How can I fix this and track how many visitors were on our site, and have a blog where visitors can leave comments? Any ideas and solutions would be most welcome. Thanks,
    Zoltan

    Unfortunately, as you have discovered, inserting Google Analytics into your site requires post editing. This means that you cannot just publish directly to MobileMe from iWeb - to insert the analytics you need to publish to a folder, insert and then place the Blog directly on your iDisk - unfortunately, this way you loose the features that your iWeb blog provides when published directly to MME - i.e. Blog comments.
    Do you have an ordinary website too or is it just a blog? If you have an ordinary website, what some people do, including myself, is set up a blog with WordPress, E-blogger, or http://www.posterous.com and link to it from your iWeb site.
    If you are just after setting up a blog on its own without a site, then I would suggest you look at http://www.wordpress.com, http://www.eblogger.com or posterous (link provided). You can set up a blog with any template you like and can add entries on line at any time, rather than being limited to updating with the domain.sites file as you are with iWeb.
    In WordPress, you can also add as many pages as you like, so you can effectively have a website as well as a blog, so the other alternatives might be a better bet than iWeb and I think they have their own built in analytics too.

  • IWeb Blog Theme, how increase number of entries shown

    iWeb , Blog Theme, number of entries is 5 only, the rest spill over into archive. How do I change this?

    Click on Inspector (bottom left in iWeb). In Inspector, click on RSS (fourth from left on top). Click on "Blog." Under "Blog Main Page," you'll see "Number of excerpts to show." Adjust the number and Voila!!
    Good luck and Happy New Year.

  • IWeb Blog: I would like users to Register....

    iWeb Blog: I would like users to Register first in order to post a REPLY.

    All you need to do is create your second site in iWeb, move it to the top of lhe list of sites in the left hand pane and publish to your MobileMe account. You must make sure the second site has a different name from the first.
    Then setup domain name forwarding to the second site following Apple's instructions here: iWeb: Using your own domain name. You will need to setup forwarding at your domain name provider also. 
    The key is that the second site (with the domain name) must the top top size in iWeb.
    Note:  with MobileMe scheduled to be discontinued on June 30, 2012, you might begin looking into obtaining another host.  When you do you'll find that both sites will need to have a domain name. 
    When the time comes take a look at HostExcellence.com.  I've had excellent results with it. They have a couple of packages that offer free domain names.  And most important they have outstanding 24/7, ear-to-ear customer support.

  • Scripting iWeb blogging

    Hi!
    I am using iWeb '09 to update my website, hosted on MobileMe using a custom domain. I have been using Posterous for blogging, as I liked it's update via email feature quite a lot. Now I am planning to move from Posterous to an iWeb blog. The only thing stopping me is mobile posting. As my Mac is always on and connected to the Internet, I'd like to implement the same email posting feature Posterous has using AppleScript and Mail.app rules.
    Up until now I have been able to write a script that takes the needed info out of the message and parses it a bit. The thing I do not know is how to make a new blog entry in iWeb with AppleScript. Here's what I scripted:
    on performmailaction(theData)
    tell application "Mail"
    set theSelectedMessages to |SelectedMessages| of theData
    set theTitle to (subject of theSelectedMessages)
    set theEntry to (content of theSelectedMessages)
    try
    set theImage to every attachment of content of theSelectedMessages
    end try
    set mailbox of theSelectedMessages to mailbox "Completed rules"
    end tell
    end performmailaction
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "blog"
    set theReadyTitle to theTitle
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "#end"
    set theReadyEntry to first word of theEntry
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {""}

    I believe if you are able to use the script to update vie email when you open the blog with iWeb those additions will not be in iWeb and if you publish from iWeb it may wipe out what was added earlier.
    Why not just keep the Posterous blog since it does everything you want and embed it into one of your iWeb pages as in this example:Embed a Site Within an iWeb Page.
    That's what some of the serious blogger recommend. This way if, for some reason, you drop your MMe account or want to move to a 3rd party hosting server you won't lose all of your blog entries. They are stored on the MMe server and will be lost if you drop the account or move.
    Just some food for thought.

  • Export iWeb entries into Pages

    I'd like to export my entire iWeb site into Pages so I can edit and print as a document. Is it possible to do this other than using copy and paste one entry at at time?
    Thanks for any assistance.

    pbm,
    welcome to Apple Discussions.
    No, you cannot export to Pages. Even if you open the HTML file exported to a folder, you get different "layers" (background, text, images) on separate pages in Pages.
    (Why do you want to edit the content in Pages and not in iWeb?)
    To print as document, you could just print it from Safari.
