Publish a Dreamweaver designed Site to a Wordpress hosted Domain

Hi everyone, I'm very new to this, and been relying on some amazing YouTube tutorials out there!
I've come across a slight problem. I brought a domain name using Wordpress.com and have a rough blog there - very messy.
I've since redesigend the entire website on Dreamweaver CS6 (very proud!) and now have come up against a slight problem - I have no idea how to publish it to the domain name.
I've tried installing wordpress and using MAMP, but havn't been able to find a way at all and been unable to find anyone experiance a similar problem - leading me to belive I'm doing something stupid!
Any help would be very much apreciated!

OK it is pretty easy to do.
1) Contact Wordpress.com guys and tell them you want to host a static site somewhere else because they don't allow static sites on their platform; Therefore, they should give the name of your registrar or you could tell us what is your site called so that we can tell you exactly who your registrar is.
2) You need to find another host to upload your site to. There are plenty out there; some are pretty cheap and some are little bit expensive. Some are free and still very good.
3) Ask them or find out yourself by logging into your account,what the DNS is so point to your your site.
4) You now need to log into your registrar's website and enter the dns details for your site.
5) That is it in a nutshell.
I know for sure that wordpress.com WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO UPLOAD YOUR OWN SITE. They say security risk but it is to do with their set-up.

CMS for Dreamweaver designed site

HI, I designed an 8 page website for a friend with dreamweaver cs3 and he would like to access the pages himself to make text changes from his own PC.
Is there a CMS that he can download and use to change text and images on a website desinged with CS3, I see from other discussions Webassist and Cushycms mentioned, but are they suitable for CS3 designs.
Thank you

This should have been discussed & in your contract well BEFORE you began buiding the site. It costs more and requires extra coding to make a CMS site. I hope you plan to bill for all the extra work involved.
#1 find out if your client's server supports PHP & MySql. This will be required for just about any CMS you decide to use.
#2 The CMS you choose will depend on 4 things:
     a) your coding skills,
     b) client's requirements,
     c) your server's programming languages,
     d) project budget.

Entire Dreamweaver-designed site not showing up in IE

Hey there, I'm a novice web designer building an html website. This is my 4th website I've built using these techniques and for some reason only the background is showing up on Internet Explorer and none of the content. The site works fine in Mozilla. Can't tell what I've done wrong here, can anybody help?
Here's the site: http://www.lawofficesofeliotgorson.com
I also welcome any criticism of the coding etc. Anything that'll make the site better. Thanks

This is probably the bulk of it right here:
Line 1,         Column 1:     no document type declaration; implying "<!DOCTYPE HTML SYSTEM>"<html>
The checked page did not contain a document type ("DOCTYPE") declaration.      The Validator has tried to validate with a fallback DTD, but this is quite likely to be incorrect and will generate a large number of incorrect error messages. It is highly recommended that you insert the proper DOCTYPE declaration in your document -- instructions for doing this are given below -- and it is necessary to have this declaration before the page can be declared to be valid.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
      <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">

I have just uploaded my iWeb site to a FTP host and most of the site is ok however a lot of the text has gone very strange! How can i get it to publish the same as I designed it? Thanks in advance....

Please help! I have just uploaded my iweb site to a FTP Host and most of the site is ok however a lot of the text has gone wrong! Many thanks...

Maybe you could let me know which hosting service you are using so that I can add them to my list of those NOT recommended for iWeb users!
I just dealt with one today who claimed the iWeb sites were incompatible and that the first line of code should be deleted from every HTML file before upload to their server.
They didn't even offer the information that it would be a lot easier to modify the .htaccess file never mind offer to do it for a customer.
Nobody should expect to pay for service like this and the answer is to dump them and go to a company that gives you some value and support for your money. If the ones on this page don't meet your requirements for cost and service...

... search this forum for those recommended by other users. There's a long list of them.

Want to publish an old iWeb site - struggling!

Hi, hope someone can help me out.
Approx 5 years ago, I created a website for a mate in iWeb and published it using an old .Mac account. I've since changed Macs and while the website design remains, .Mac is now Mobile Me and my mate has lost the log in details. The account is still live as my mate had the Mobile Me annual fee deducted from their account only recently.
To make matters worse, we registered a domain name and pointed it to the .Mac created domain. However, my mate failed to renew the domain and so there's no way of us seeing the website.
Finally, the email address registered to the .Mac address is now also defunct.
We've now bought the same domain name back and want to publish the iWeb site to that domain, but with no Mobile Me details I'm wondering what the solution is. Any thoughts?
Cheers in advance

You will have to recreate the web site from scratch since you don't have the domain file that was used by iWeb to create the site in the first place. Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the recreation of the site.
As for the domain name once you have your site created and published you can forward it to the new site. You can obtain an account on a 3rd party web hosting server like HostExcellence.com and publish you site there.
However, if you have a blog or one of the items listed below they will not be supported on a 3rd party server:
Features Unavailable When Publishing to a Non-Mac Server:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
From iWeb 3's Help
Many 3rd party servers do support php which will allow you to protect pages or the entire site. 3rd party hit counters which offer much more than just the number of visitors can be added. And you can use a 3rd party blogging service to create your blog and embed its page into one of your iWeb pages with an HTML snippet and iframe code.

Can I publish a site to a non-.mac domain?

I am a real new mac user, less than a week. I just got a power mac G4. I bought iLife, and set up a web site. I have had my own domain for a few years now. I published my site to my .mac account, and pointed my domain to it. The domain is www.hanklambert.com. My question is can I also create sites for others who have their own domains (my mother) and publish it directly to her hosting domain? If so, where can I find out how to do that.
Thanks in advance,

Yes, you can. But to keep things simple, I would suggest that you create multiple accounts on your computer to publish the different sites. That way you don't run into issues with two or more sites in the same Domain file, switching Domain files, etc.
Just create a new login account to your computer...say, for your Grandma's site. Open up iWeb there and you should see a blank slate. Once you have her site designed, just publish to her .Mac account or "publish to a folder" and you can FTP it to her webhost if she doesn't have .Mac.
The whole point is to keep your site separate from other sites that you might design. The easiest thing would be to have a different user account for each site if you are going to be administering these sites regularly.

Worst designed site ever

look at this
http://www.tpub.com/content/medical/14295/css/14295_225.htm
at first you will noticed that all of the text seams to extend out of the borders and otehr boundries as if tehy are just background images
but if you look at in with operas inspect mode you will notice that each individual line of text is a span element.
Am i correct in believing that this is a stupidly designed site?
or am i missing something here?

My i web version is 2.0.4. Can I publish my i web site directly to a FTP server address?

After Apple stopped hosting with Mobile Me, I moved hosting for my i web built web site to Network solutions. I was told by a Network solutions technician that I can publish an updated iweb site directly to a FTP server address. But I do not see that as an option with my 2.0.4 i web version. Can I update my
version of i web? Or do I need to purchase a later version of i web for this function?

You can open your iWeb 2 site in iWeb 3 and continue as before with the addition of FTP. However you should be able to upload with no problem in CyberDuck or Transmit - both are easy to use and reliable. Note that when you publish to a local folder you should usually upload the contents of the folder to the server, not the folder itself, unless you want the folder name (which must have no spaces in it) to appear in the URL.
Cyberduck is free (donation requested): Transmit is $34 but I think better. You will need the server address (your hosting service can tell you that), and your username and password for that service.

How to upload and publish a non iweb site to mobile me

How do I upload a website I made from a flash template to my mobile me server, I had a iweb website published there, now I want to use my same domain name and publish the new flash site I created to the mobile me server and disable the iweb site.

Just log into your MobileMe account and go to your iDisk and delete the iWeb site that is there.
You can load your other site there by simply dropping and dragging your files for your new site to the Sites folder on your iDisk. Alternatively, MobileMe uses webdav so you can use Cyberduck to publish too.

*** Publishing only one iweb site to .mac

I have a number of different sites creates in iWed that I normally upload to my own server and NOT my .mac account. I would like to clear my .mac space to 0 and then upload 1 of my entire movies there. I'd like to create the backdrop in iweb and publish this entire movie to my .mac account but I know that if I just go file>publish to .mac, that all my pages will upload to .mac.
Is there a manual way to control this? Ideally I'm hoping it's possible within iweb, but I'm guessing it's not. If it's not, will it work if I publish my pages to a folder, and then select my movie .html and files folder and manually drop them into my idisk/movies folder? Will that then publish only my movie site to my .mac account?
I'm not at the office today, so I'm just wondering if someone can give me a heads up if this may work. I'm trying to research in advance!
Thanks everyone!

Hi
Your iWeb sites are contained in a domain.sites file, which lives here:
User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites
To separate sites, you need to have seperate domain files. You can do this by simply creating a second User Account on your Mac and creating the website there, and then use Publish to .mac.
Or you can swap out the domain files manually or use something like Domains Juggler, from Cyclosaurus.
There is some more info. on the How2 page of my site, www.willg4pb.com.

Hi, I have a site developed by myself usinf iWeb and as iWeb are no longer hosting teh sites in 2012 i have found another domaine. It is with Go Daddy and the domaine / name is live. I have tried to publish site using fttp but keeps coming up wih a common error message saying the info i have input is incorrect. I have tread this may be an issue if host is a windows based host???
appreciete your help

Not all of my photos upload to my website when I publish it. when my site finishes publising I get an error that says, "There was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again later, or check with your service provider."

Not all of my photos upload to my website when I publish it. when my site finishes publising I get an error that says, "There was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again later, or check with your service provider."

I am publishing directly to an FTP server (option 1). Is this the optimal method or should I be publishing to a folder and then (how do/would I?) publish to my hosting domain?
I'm wondering if this has really anything to do with the publishing process, or whether it just has to do with the photos and/or the photo albums. I've deleted the photo albums with the missing pictures from my site on iweb thinking a file might be corrupt. (I'm getting the albums from iphoto -- drag/drop method into iweb) I then replaced these albums with the same albums as the previous ones from iphoto and then published my site again -- and the EXACT same photos were once again missing in the NEW albums as were missing in the old albums...
Maybe it is a publishing issue, or it could be a photo/file issue. However, these albums aren't very large -- the largest containing 135 photos --
Please! if you have any suggestions or ideas as to what is happening I would be greatly appreciative!
I'm pulling my hair out here trying to diagnose the problem...

How to start BPEL process with publishing initiation form designed in ADF

Hii All,
Can Anyone please tell me how to Start my BPEL process with publishing initiation forms designed in ADF fusion.
I am using JDevloper 11g and Oracle SOASuite 11g toolset in windows platform.
Thankx in Advance,
Deekay.

Hi,
I assume you mean the JMS example under the $OH BPEL examples area. Unfortunately, this only shows how to get a BPEL process kicked off by awaiting a JMS message - but there is no test code there! There are specific examples which show off the testing framework facilities but it appears that all the examples which use async type of interactions are in the middle of a process which is kicked off by a normal synchronous client interaction.
Any further help much appreciated.
Colin.
