Published site looks good on safari (mac) NOT good on firefox (mac)

Any person who knows how this comes?
site I'm talking about: www.dinarodrigues.com
fonts looks thicker in FF
shadow behind text isn't there in FF
How can I resolve this issues?

Shadows have been a problem for a while in Firefox.
Take a screenshot of your text with the shadow and drop the JPEG onto the page instead of the text.
I could live with the thickening in the font as it is easier to read.

Dreamweaver text looks fine in Safari but not Firefox NEED HELP!!!

Dreamweaver text looks fine in Safari but not Firefox, all my text goes out of alignment and the fonts look like different sizes. Please let me know your thoughts. Here is a link to the page I'm having problems with. http://www.alexandrasantibanez.com/bio.html

Published site looks different on mac and pc?

having (finally) published my site, why do the fonts and layout look different on my mac to my husbnad's pc? v odd???

because different browsers interpret CSS files indifferent ways and because fonts that are installed on your mac may not necessarily be installed on your husbands pc. It is a common gripe of web designers (not just those using iWeb) that margins and padding (for example) are all read differently by IE than by FF.

Iweb revisions not publishing - site looking crazy. why? what to do?

Hey there
I'm trying to publish my site (www.whereidstay.com) - and it keeps publishing a crazy version for about 3 of 7 of the pages, with enornous and misplaced text, etc. I've tested the connection to the ftp server, and that seems to be working fine. I'm not a pro at this stuff, so I'm stumped!
Any ideas? I'm hoping to send out a blast email today since our business will be featured on HGTV's House Hunters Intermational tonight, but i don't want to if the site looks crazy!
With thanks in advance
Ashley

First clear your browser's cache (Command+Option+E for Safari) and reload the site. Check the pages to see if they appear corrent now. I loaded your site and it appears OK but I don't know if any text is missing. What's there looks OK.
If there's missing text can you include a screenshot of the page in iWeb for comparison?

Published site looks too big in Internet Explorer.

My site is published to an ftp site and looks fine in Firefox and Safari (Mac), but when viewed on Internet Explorer on a PC it looks horrendous. Type spacing is off, the pages are way too big for the window, black squares appear behind objects in random places. On one page a fairly large Album doesn't show up. Do I have to use MobileMe to avoid this?

IE is the worst browser in the world and the most popular.
I am on a never ending mission to make my various elements of iweb work in IE.
Web safe fonts, .SWF, Flash etc. Nightmare!
I wish iweb could include alternative or work arounds for IE as it does for fonts.

Why does my published site look nothing like the Muse site I designed?

I have published and taken live several sites and they all looked as expected. The most recent site looks nothing like the Muse site I designed. I published it and BC took me to the home page, where all the background images, graphics, slide show are all missing. Text looks like regular text, not html formatted text. I can't show this. What happened?

Similar situation just happened to me this morning. Opened a Muse site I was working on and when I preview it the web fonts are not showing and alignment is wierd. ??? Was working fine last week.

Publish site looks doesn't look the same on a PC

You're probably using a font that is not present on the PC. In this case your text is converted to a graphic and jumps out of line.
huh?
You should either use a font from the web-safe Mac/Windows list or convert your text into graphics in iWeb by typing it into a shape or adding a slight shadow.
double huh?

When publish site button on iWeb 09 is not highlighted, is it in the process of publishing?

After Mobile Me ending, I had to switch to Go Daddy for my hosting site. I just upgraded to iWeb 09 and after clicking the "Publish Site" button, it is no longer highlighted - does that mean the site is publishing? Thank you in advance!

No problem. It's worth doing a connection test by clicking on the Globe symbol next to your site name in the top left corner & then clicking on "Connection Test" under "FTP Server Settings". This will confirm your settings have been entered correctly etc.
I love iWeb also. I upgraded from the iLife 06 version (1.1.2) a while ago & I think it is great. That's a shame you have had trouble with GoDaddy.

Forwarded to godaddy domain. works on safari but not explorer or firefox

I finally figured how to use my website so that when you type in the domain it redirects to the mobile me website. However, it is working just great on safari but not on explorer or firefox.

I have always used GoDaddy's forward and masking utilities and its worked great. When Apple updated iWeb to 08 with the ability to auto forward, I had lots of issues and thus went back to setting up my GoDaddy preferences to auto-forward and mask my site. GoDaddy has the very best phone support on the planet which makes up for one of the worst websites on the internet. Call them up and have them walk you through auto-forwarding and masking.

Making IWeb sites look good.

I've seen a lot of iWeb sites, and for the most part they're not bad, but generally they look really generic. From my graphic design point of view there are a few things that people can do to improve the "look"of their site.
1. Delete the auotmatic navigation bar that iWeb creates when making new pages. This can be done under the page tab in the inspector. Anything can be turned into a hyperlink, so make your own buttons, instead of letting iWeb do it. This means graphics and any kind of text you want. Be creative.
2.A. Typograghy please. Its a good rule of thumb to only use a few different fonts. Doing this throughout the website will add consistency to the overall design. iWeb allows for strict control over type (take advantage of this) text type (paragraph length type) looks best at a smaller sizes ie. 9-11 pt. Also increase the leading (the amount of space between lines of type). This will make the text easier to read.
2.B. Choose your own fonts. Don't use iWeb's default fonts. Generally text size can be reduced as well. Type makes the page, so pay attention to it.
Hope these tips help someone.

Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hello all,
I would like to add to red.sea's comments. The reason : I have over 60 emails to reply on the topic of iWeb design from forum members.
It's a hard question to answer when someone asks you ways to improve their sites ... without wanting to hurt their feelings. I have to consider the fact that because I do this comfortably for a living, design comes as natural to me as painting. But what I have always enjoyed in my life, is seeing someone try ... and ultimately enjoy what they can achieve. Imagination is surely one of the greatest virtues.
Having said that, I would like to add a couple of points. This principally applies to people who wish to build a site entirely from scratch using a white blank page. But some of these methods will apply to template users.
Before designing a site, sketch it out on paper. Each slip represents a new page. Mark out roughly the topics, the placement of pictures, the amount of text involved on the page. This will save you a lot of time - believe me.
FONTS
Refine what you have just done in (1) by selecting different fonts as red.sea mentioned. Choose fonts according to the theme of the site. E.g. Romantic wedding sites, use fonts like Zapfino, Mona Lisa Solid, Bodoni etc. - script as well as serif fonts. Modern sites - sans serif fonts seems to be the trend, and it has been for a number of years. Examples, Gill Sans, Optima. The default Helvetica isn't bad, but try using Light instead of Bold. Use large point size. I use Avenir and Nobel on my sites.
N.B. The only area to leave as template default, is the blog - in case you want to use the Search feature.
IMAGES
Work your images to 100% of the size you intend to use in iWeb. Resizing will blur the images. This has been mentioned many times over, so I won't touch on this further. 72dpi images work fine with me and if you must, tweak your colours before dragging them to iWeb - if you are using Photoshop, for instance. Unsharp mask can help sharpen your pictures. I use NIK filters.
COLOUR (I was raised in England, so I spell with a 'U')
Theme colour is important. Many folks feel that white is boring. That really depends on how you use it and design normally plays a part in this. Should you choose to use colours, there are millions to use on the palette. Avoid strong primary colours unless you have a good design-sense. As mentioned, check the mood, the topic, the theme. If you have black and white photos, use black, grey or white as background. Light (often pastel) colours work well with B&Ws too. This can be a very in depth discussion, but I think you get my drift. Lastly, try and maintain a flowing look/theme to your site. It's very pleasant to browse through sites like these.
TEXT
Placing of text is by far the biggest issue for most iWebbers. Some sites have the right colours but is ruined with text running everywhere. One site had long sentences and paragraphs (11pt font size) stretching 600px from left to right which went on forever. It's an eye sore and nobody is going to read it, especially folks above 40 something. Make columns instead. The guides work beautifully on iWeb, just like in Keynote. Make sure under preferences > Alignment Guides, both are checked. Keep these columns tidy and aligned to something on your page - a photo, your headline - something the body copy can have affliation to. Play with the leading (space in between the text).
There are other things I would like to add ... maybe later.
I hope this helps rather than offend. Over the last couple of weeks, I have met and corresponded with many members from this forum. It's been a delight. I thank you for trying.

My site looks ok in IE but not in FF - I have validated my code

Hello
my site is www.pondviewtech.com
I have validated all of my pages of my site at validator.w3.org. I had errors and fixed them and now they all pass. My site still does not display properly in FF. I looked through my code and I can not find anything that sticks out. I read that % are not good to be used in the code for firefox but I do not have any of those. I searched for a FF code validator but all I could find were add-ons.
I attached my index.html file. I didn't create the site so if it is a total mees it will not hurt my feelings if you say so.
I am new to this so any direction would be helpful.
Thank you very much for any help

It is a bit of a mess in there. Your floats are getting tangled up. I'd like to see you have contentLeft2 and contentRight2 both floated left. Make contentLeft2's markup come BEFORE contentRight2's content. Perhaps something like this?
<div id="contentLeft2" style="float:left;width:300px;clear:both;margin-right:10px;">
        <p class="style24">ACS can help your firm...</p>
... snip...
        <p class="style46 style51 style54"> </p>
      </div>
      <div id="contentRight2" style="width:460px;float:left;">
But it still doesn't look right in CS4's Design view, and it should. Hmmm....

"publish site changes" writes to a subdirectory, not correct directory

Heres a poser.
I enjoy iWeb because I can update my pages, and then iweb updates just those changes to my host. Been doing this for years. As my web site is fairly large, I have a main web site, and have created sites under that, which reside on the same root, that links in the main web site connect to.
Well, I just made some basic changes to three pages of one of my sub-sites, and when I updated changes, iWeb wrote the folder not to the root like the original, but inside the directory of the top web site.
So original files were never changed. I had to remove old folder from root, move the new folder to the root directory for the new files to appear. Very strange, since iWeb wrote the original folder and files in the root, but wrote the changed folder and files to a different place.
In the iWeb FTP Server settings, the directory path indicated does show the top or main site on the root level as the directory/path. If I remove it from the settings (leave directory/path blank), the whole site goes red, implying the whole thing needs to be updated. And if i start that, it states there is a folder already there with the original name, do i want to replace it.
What is mysterious to me is that iWeb wrote these sites for me, has updated these sites for me no problem, till now, when it writes changes to a subfolder instead of original folder in root.
Has anyone run into this? I am baffled, and have not made any changes to iWeb, my site, my settings which would explain this to the best of my knowledge.
using iweb 3.0.4, in OSX 10.6.8
thanks so much.

If anyone figures out why iWeb of its own accord started writing subsite folders to the home site folder instead of the root, let me know!
When iWeb publishes a website it publishes a site folder and an external index.html file. If you leave the site folder and index file in place on the server it will publish the new or changed files to that folder. That's how iWeb works.
If you want to avoid having the domain name twice in the URL change the site name to something other than the domain name. Then your URL will be www.domain-name.com/site_name/page_name.html.
When you publish just the contents of the website folder to the server you will get rid of the duplicate domain name BUT you lose the ability to use iWeb 3 to publish directly to the server. You will have to publish the site to a folder on your hard drive and use a 3rd party FTP client like Yummy, Transmit or Cyberduck to upload the contents of the webfolder to ther server. Wyodor's link explains it in more detail.
Or you could just leave the double domain name in the URL and not worry about it and rely on the content and appearance of your site to keep bringing the visitors back.
