Publish iWeb blog from Windows

Hello everyone. I just created a blog in iWeb and publish it on an FTP server, but the blog will be managed by a friend and I, and my friend uses Windows. I want to know if there is any way for my friend to post on the blog from Windows.
Thank you.

Frankly, there must a way around this. Granted, there's no chance your friend on the PC can run iWeb, but all iWeb does (assuming you're using a local folder and not MobileMe) is edit the html and xml files. In theory, if your friend can edit these files from afar and update your files with newer versions, there stands no reason that this shouldn't work.
Come to think of it, you could use DropBox. Saving your site to a local folder in your DropBox folder (my website, for example, uses this trick), you can give your friend the authorization to access the folder, which only requires an internet connection to access. From there, he or she may be able to edit the code (adding a new post, for example) and saving the changed documents in the DropBox folder. You can use whatever FTP program you like to upload your website from said local folder.
Does any of that make sense? I'm facing similar problems, trying to give non-Mac authors access to post on my iWeb-constructed website.

Publishing iWeb pages from 2 different Macs

I have recently bought a MacBook to complement my G4 Powermac desktop - the desktop has iLife05 installed and the MacBook iLife06.
I am really enjoying using the iWeb application and would like to be able to publish iWeb pages from both my MacBook and my desktop mac. Is there anyway I can get iLife06 transferred onto my desktop. I have already been firewiring files between the two - can I do the same with software or do I need to buy iLife all over again?

Hi James,
Your response definitely helped me since my boss and I are trying to maintain a website on both of our computers...
BUT, i have a huge problem. Before I knew how to transfer or find the domain files, I used the "FIND" option to search for the domain site on my computer and when i clicked it open, my site didn't come up but rather a prompt asking me what type of website I'd like to create. For months, the website we created showed up every time I opened iweb but now when i simply clicked on domain.site or whatever it was that turned up in the "Find" folder, I can't bring up or locate the site I created on the computer so I have no way to update it or put it on a disc for my boss... Do you have any idea what caused my site to disappear simply by clicking on domain or any idea where i could find my site??
please help!! thanks!
Vanessa
one more thing: is it possible for my boss to edit the content of the website without iweb? could she do it through the actual website with a password or something? just curious... also if i can't get that original domain site back, is there a way i can transfer my website to a different website other than iweb so that i can keep updating without having to redo the whole thing? even being able to transfer separate blogs from iweb to the original site would work too - anything to not have to redo the welcome page and picture pages that are already online

IWeb blogging from mobile devices

I know this has been discussed before, but I think that the arrival of the iPad means that it's time to push it to the front again:
I have a personal homepage that has been created with iWeb on a Mac and is stored on my MobileMe account. This homepage contains a blog, which I usually use when I travel (instead of sending postcards). I used to take my MBP with me when traveling, but will probably switch to the iPad now. Unfortunately, this means that I have to switch the blog for a Wordpress based one, since there still is no way I can blog in iWeb/MobileMe from any other place than my MBP.
Apple: For a "Mobile" company that is a bit embarrassing. Since there already are apps that directly access content on MobileMe, I cannot imagine what the difficulty can be in creating a simple app people could use to blog from the iPhone or iPad. So, please, provide us with such an app and spare us the bag of pain that including a Wordpress blog in iWeb is.
Maybe, if a few people support this request, Apple could spare somebody who could probably program such an app within a few days.

Welcome to the discussions.

You can link to an external blog from iWeb's navigation bar:
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).

How can I update my iWeb blog from multiple computers/iPhone/iPad?

I want to be able to update my iWeb website and blog when I am not at home.
I tried making a copy of the iWeb folder from the Library folder. This did not work.
How I wished it would work......
iWeb should work like Aperture, and iPhoto. I mean when I am at a friends computer I can open Aperture with my files and not theirs by choosing the Library file initializing the software. Why can't iWeb be configured to do this?
Is there a way to update iWeb created websites when away from my home computer?

...is a free, cross-platform, remote desktop system that you can use to access your Mac from almost any system. You could log in to LogMeIn, open iWeb and edit & publish your site remotely via your home system. Note that LogMeIn is downloaded only to the Mac you want to remotely control — your office computer needs nothing new. See HERE.
...for iPhone and iPod touch provides instant one-click access to your LogMeIn computers, directly from your Apple device. Make your iPhone or iPod touch an extension of your work or home computer:
• Use a program that's on your office computer
• View a photo on your home desktop
• Help a friend troubleshoot his or her computer
• All from the palm of your hand, from wherever you are.

Maintain IWeb site from Windows (Vista) based machine

Just checking...I don't suppose there is anyway in <edited by host> I can manage or update an Iweb site from a windows based machine - which I've been asked to do. If this is possible, I'd love to hear how it might be done.
TIA

Welcome to the discussions, CabanaKid.
No, it's not possible. iWeb keeps everything in it's Domain file and only iWeb can open and publish from that file.

Director 11 - Publishing Mac Projector from Windows

When publishing a Mac projector file from Windows XP, the
files created do not function correctly when I test them on a
Macintosh computer (OS 10.5). Even though I publish as a projector,
the application is not self running and will display a message that
Shockwave is required to run the program. The program will run
properly on Macintosh computers that have Shockwave installed.
It seems that the files that are created in the Frameworks
folder (within the .app/Contents folder) have data in their
resource forks and this gets stripped off on the Windows system. I
thought Director 11 had resolved this issue so that you could
publish a cross-platform projector that would be ready-to-run.
If I move the .app folder to a Mac and replace the Frameworks
folder with a Frameworks folder that has been created with Director
11 on a Macintosh system, the program runs correctly without a
Shockwave install.
Has anyone else run into this, and if so, is there a fix for
it? I need to be able to publish both Windows projectors and Mac
projectors from my Windows system.

Hi Phil,
thanks. You're right, it's impossible to set icon or background image, but it seems to work stable.
Do you know, if the D11.5MAC-generated projector works under MAC OS 9 / WIN95/98/NT/2000/Vista/7?
I feel sorry for you because of the UDF file system. Therefore I have no idea.
But apple has changed the way how files are connected with their applications. You can now (since 10.5) define that all files with a certain file extension has to be opened with a concrete program. But I also know that it doesn't work correctly in all cases. So may be it has something to do with that instead the way how the ROM is read with 10.5+ opposed to 10.4
Am 11.12.2009 um 16:20 schrieb PhilGibson:
From what I understand, the "Mac & PC" option in Toast will make a disc that is pretty much compatible with most OSs.
It allows you to specify separate files for the Mac and the PC side of things. What it doesn't do is let you set icon layout or a background image for the window, like the Custom Hybrid option does.
I've personally used "Mac & PC" discs on Mac OS X 10.4-10.6, Windows 98 SE, XP, and Vista with no issues.
This is great if it can solve you problems. I just wish there was a solution for making the Mac projectors work as ROM content on DVDs (UDF volumes), which is what I'm working with 75% of the time as of late. It's primarily 10.5 and newer where the issue pops up, as Apple seems to have done something with how the ROM portion is read with 10.5+ as opposed to 10.4.

Published iWeb Blog and Snow Leopard

Published iWeb with iLife 08 to Mobile Me. Want to continue publishing to this site, but can't get Snow Leopard to connect to the iWeb published page. Don't think I should have to start over to add more content.

Snow Leopard is an operating system and isn't used to connect to web pages. What did you do and what do you want to do?
Did you install Snow Leopard and lose your ability to use iWeb to edit your site? If so you need to get a copy of the Domain.sites file that iWeb 08 used to create the site in order for you to be able to continue editing. It's located in your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder.
If you don't have that file then you'll have to rebuild the site from scratch. If that's the case Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing image, audio and/or video files in the published site in the reconstruction of the site.
If you don't have a backup maybe it's time to consider and begin a backup strategy.

Update iWeb blog from Internet

Is there any way I can update my iWeb blog when I'm not with my macbook?

I came across this solution: http://automator.us/iphone
It is geared towards using the iPhone, but it would likely work from any email app.

Posting to an iWeb blog from an iPhone

I'm about to do a big charity walk (Wainwright's Coast to Coast). I'd like to post to a blog on my iWeb website. Can someone tell me if I can do this easily and how please? Many thanks Ian Smith

I think you need to ask in the iWeb forum, or find some people who really use iWeb blogs. My sense is that the iWeb platform is pretty limited, but I don't really know.
I'm pretty sure there is no iWeb app for the iPhone. Ask Apple for one here:
http://apple.com/feedback
So one question is--does iWeb let you use the XML-RPC protocol that seems to be the standard for blogging clients? Or some other standard? If so, presumably an iPhone blog client like this could be set up:
http://appshopper.com/social-networking/iblogger
but you need some people who know iWeb to help you figure out what the settings would be.
Or maybe iWeb has a Post-by-Email capability? Again, ask iWeb experts.
If iWeb doesn't support any of those, you could certainly set up a WordPress.com blog or something--they have both post-by-email and a blogging app. Or Blogger/Blogspot or any major blogging platform. Maybe iWeb has the ability to show an RSS feed on your iWeb blog, so that it would show links to the WP.com posts that you make.
A charity walk sounds made for Twitter, though, if you ask me.

I am using Microsoft office 2011 for mac, publisher is not included, meanwhile I have publisher files saved from windows, is there any recommended software I can install on the mac so that I can open the files?

How can I be able to use my Windows publisher files on my Mac computer, since Microsoft office 2011 for Mac doesn't have Publisher? What's most recommended software to use for this purpose?

Just an FYI here Allan, and clinton.
Version 4.0 or newer of Libre Office can open and edit Publisher files, this is fairly new, you may not have noticed it yet,
I tested it last week for another OP, it works very well, so finally there is a Mac application that can replace Publisher.
Here's a link to the post.
VikingOSX deserves the credit for finding it.

Import previous iweb site from the internet? No old iweb files

My mac crashed and I lost all the information I had stored in it, including the iweb files of the blog I created using Iweb. Is there a way to import my iweb blog into a new Iweb in the mac I purchased? The iweb site I created is still up, so I am wondering if I can import the entries from my old iweb blog into my new mac/iweb using RSS or some other mechanism to capture the text and pictures in my old iweb blog and transfer them to my new mac. I also use idisk, so when I log in to mobile me I see links to my old iweb blog under if I click on Idisk and then go to "site". Any ideas about how I can import my old iweb blog from the internet?
The iweb version I have in my new mac is Iweb 3.0.3 (501)

Jorge ~ Welcome to the Support Communities. Apple says:
"iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). If you no longer have this file, you can view your currently published pages and manually recreate them within iWeb, but there is no way to import published pages back into iWeb. You can manually back up the Domain file, or use Backup to back it up.” (Source)
...If you don't have a backup of your Domain file (e.g. via Time Machine), paragraph 2.3 of this FAQ page gives some tips on how to use published files, graphics, photos, etc., to help rebuild the site from scratch:

Can't post to Blog from iOS

I set up a blog using iWeb on my iMac with the intention of posting pics and text while abroad on vacation. Since I plan to travel without my laptop, taking only my iPhone and iPad, I hoped to be able to post comments and attachments to the blog remotely. In testing it out it worked fine when posting comments and pics using Safari on my laptop. But when I tried to do the same thing using Safari on my iPhone and iPad, everything worked except the attach photos function. The button to do that is grayed out. So I can post text comments to my iWeb blog from abroad, but not any photos I take. Any idea why that is? Plan B is to set up a photo gallery on my MobileMe account and post photos from my iPhone to it. Hopefully there is some way to put long captions under the photos to act as my blog text.

Just purchased imovie. Created 1:05 minute trailer and get the "Failed to upload to Youtube" message all 5 times I've tried, why? I have over 70 videos on my youtube channel so I know how to operate it.
Repair or Refund?
Thanks for help anyone.

How to publish a BOOK from iWeb blog

During 2011 I kept a Blog in iWeb on me.com when my little 7 year old daughter was suffering from liver cancer. the Blog was read and commented by many people. I have been her Living Donor for the liver, and so far she is a "survivor" with sparks in her eys that represent "life".
We have had a lot of support from people that are close to us and I want to thank them all by "publishing" a book from the blog. I kept it on my Macbook wich also still has iWeb on it. I a 'just a user' and not a freak, so I do not have a clue if this is possible to do or just Wishfull thinking. I presume you can never get back to me.com, so the ' web counter' as well as 'feed back' might have been lost, but I sure want to publish this blog in a book. It would be a great gift to thos who supported us and other people that go through this as well, as well as for my little girl Joy, so when she is older she knows what she has been going throug. Is there anyone that could support in the steps I need to undertake to get this done?

To give you an idea what is possible, I used Chrome on my iPad and printed a webpage as pdf to Google Drive with Google Cloudprinter.
This is the webpage :

This is the result :

Error while publishing Lightswitch application remotely from Windows 7 PC to Windows 2003 Server having IIS 6.0

I am trying to publish a LightSwitch 2012 application as Web Application from Windows 7 PC to Windows 2003 IIS server, .Net Framework 4.0
The publish Summary as follows
Application Name - User Test
Application Version - 1.0.6.0
Application Type : Browser
Application Server : IIS Server
Authentication : Windows Authentication
Database : Do not publish
Error details while publishing with the option "IIS server has lightswitch deployment prerequisites installed".
============================================================================

(15/04/2014 16:24:51) An error occurred when the request was processed on the remote computer. The entry type 'unknown' was not expected at this time. The serialization stream may be corrupted.
When published without the option "IIS server has lightswitch deployment prerequisites installed".
the applications publishes successfully, But when the application is accessed from Browser it says authentication error.
I have searched a number of blogs with the same issue, but none have answered.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

I am once again facing the same issue when trying to publish remotely. But I have done nothing to the server after successful publishing as suggested below,
Not sure why the issue persists again (Could this be a firewall issue?) . Your help will be much appreciated.

Finally, I Could able to resolve the issue. I have identified the below information for a successfull deployment
1. Light switch 2012 application can be published only with Web Deploy 1.1 (which will create Web Deployment Agent Service) in Windows Services list. I had an issue with multiple Web Deploy versions (Web Deploy 2.0, 3.0) which caused to fail the publishing
from Light Switch Development environment. Un-installed all the versions and installed only Web Deploy 1.1 and then published successfully
2. You should use Remote Publish from Light Switch 2012 Development PC as there is no option in IIS 6.0 to import the Package in IIS 6.0 with the packages files similar to the option available in IIS 7.0 and later.
3. You should be able to publish from Light Switch 2012 environment with the option "IIS server has lightswitch deployment prerequisites installed" checked. The application will publish with the option unchecked but it will not work.

Can I publish to blogger from iWeb?

I want to publish from iWeb but I don't want to pay for a website, and I'm only going to blog for a couple of months while I am on vacation. Any Thoughts?

No you can't.
Blogger is Google's blog and it is free, so sign into Google and you can create a blog for free directly there.
Your other alternative is to use http://www.wordpress.com. This is also a free blogging service and if you are on vacation, you will be able to update it from any terminal you can get to - a PC or a Mac and you can do this online. Once you don't need the blog anymore you can delete it from the WordPress servers and that's it. You don't need to pay for a website.
Don't use the iWeb blog as it is too restrictive to use whilst travelling - just use either Google's blogger or WordPress.com at source, with both being free.
