Publishing Blogger blog to iWeb site

I just set up a blog at Blogger.com and I want to publish it on my website that's hosted on the .Mac server. Blogger.com asks for the settings like the FTP address, blog url, ftp path, blog filename, feed filename, FTP user name, and FTP password. I'm not sure what these settings are, and I haven't created a page or file for this Blogger.com blog yet. How do I do that? Do I use iWeb to do that? My website was created and published through iWeb '08 and uses my domain name of www.felacofamily.com. Thanks for your help!
Krista

Hi there Krista, hopefully this will help you some. I will list my settings for my domain "www.theblackhole.se" below. However, i do not use .Mac rather an external webhotel/host.
FTP server - ftp.theblackhole.se (the FTP servername my webhost gave my account)
Blog URL - http://www.theblackhole.se (your domain basically)
FTP Path - left it blank
Blog filename - blog.html (I am pretty sure this is what contols what your final URL will be for your Blog as my Blog URL ended up as being blog.theblackhole.se with these settings - just experiment)
Feed filename - atom.xml (i think this is generated automatically, otherwise just enter what mine says)
FTP username - In my case this is whatever i use to log in at my webhost controlpanel, my username that is.
FTP password - see above.
Perhaps you should contact Apple regarding this, or switch to another host then .Mac
Good luck, let us know how it turned out!

  • 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:

  • Transfer Blogger blog to iWeb/MobileMe

    I want to move a blog from Blogger to iWeb and then publish it to MobileMe. The blog is currently published to my own domain and now I want to move the whole thing. How do I do that?

    Blogger has various features you cannot duplicate in iWeb's blog. I would recommend you keep it and either link to it from an iWeb site or use an iframe on an iWeb page to incorporate it.

  • Can't publish my blog, new iWeb user.

    I created a blog for a trip to Europe but I can't publish it. I selected publish a the bottom of the page and I get the option to open a  mobile me account or not. If I select mobile me I'm moved to a new screen that says Apple is no longer offering mobile me. If I select no the screen goes away and I'm back at my Blog page. But I'm not published and there doesn't seem to be another way.
    Any suggestions??
    I'm using a mac book pro that I purchased in February this year. This is also my first MAC, so I'm still learning the system.

    Apple will discontinue MobileMe on June 30, 2012, and is not accepting new accounts.  Since iWeb's blog relies on the MMe server for comments by blog visitors I suggest you use a 3rd party blogging site and create your blog there. You can embed your 3rd party blog into one of your iWeb site pages as shown in this demo: Embed a Site Within an iWeb Page.
    When you have your site designed and ready for publication you will need to get a 3rd party hosting site to host your site. This following will be of interest to you in that regard: Life After MobileMe.
    Also you should be aware of the following:
    It is now known that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken.  If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
    Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.

  • Help adding blogger blog to MUSE site

    I want to add my blogger blog to MUSE, i pasted the RSS/HTML to the arbitrary HTML box, but it doesnt show up in any preview. Anyone have the same problem? Know a solution?

    Hey Courtney,
    I've been looking for something simple like the atom.xml solution provided over PM but for the RSS, and there isn't one avaialble.
    Because Muse does not have a "native" RSS feed widget, you'll have to use that at least for the moment (source) or you can look up an alternative solution like this one.
    Cheers,
    Cristian

  • Can't publish my blog with iweb

    I have a .mac account and prepared my first ever webpage, a blog and a photopage on the same site. Everything was more than easy, but then I couldn't publish it. The response says: Publisher Error : An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/Sites/iWeb/mylife/Blog”. I tried File/Publish All to .mac and got the same reply. I put it also to a folder (File/Publish to a folder) but I don't know what to do with it from there.
    I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, or what I could try, help!

    I got it fixed, thanks to help from another post. I had created my own nav bar and the links were to .Mac not .Me. What finally fixed it for me was:
    1. Publishing all to Mobile Me.
    2. Fixing my links so they linked to the .me pages.
    All comments work as expected.
    If others are using a CNAME this would add a new dimension to the problem. My personal domain is simply Domain Forwarding so it seems to be O.K
    What a mess!

  • I used to publish a blog on iWeb.  Haven't blogged in a long time, but want to again.

    Haven't blogged in a long time, but want to again.  I am not super tech savvy, I just want to write.  Any suggestions for painless, post iWeb blogging?

    You can still use iWeb to create and maintain a blog if you don't want to allow comments by visitors.  Otherwise you'll need to use one of the established blogging sites.
    You could add a separate comments page with links to it on your blog pages. For that you can use DISQUS - Elevating the discussion or IntenseDebate comments enhance and encourage conversation on your blog or website.
    If you use an established blogging site it can be embedded into your iWeb page as shown in this demo page: Embed a Site Within an iWeb Page

  • How can I publish to my non-iWeb site

    I want to use iPhoto but not iWeb.
    It doesn't give me an option to publish any other way.
    Can someone help?

    You need to use File->Publish to Folder... which will create your site in a folder on your Mac. Then you need to upload the contents of that folder to your website using an FTP client.

  • Can i publish on another's iweb site?

    my wife has a web site and will be out of the country for a few weeks and i need to up date it for her
    can i edit her site from my computer?

    Do you both work off the same computer or from your own computers?  If it's off the same computer then just log into her account and run iWeb from there.
    If it's from separate computers you and either user her computer or copy the Domain.sites2 file that is in her your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to your computer.
    Next, create a new user account on your computer and put her domain.sites2 file in the Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder for that account.  Then go to the System/MobileMe preference pane for that account and log into her MobileMe account.  Now you an log into that second account on your Mac, launch iWeb and update her site.
    To make switching accounts more convenient go to the System/Accounts preference pane and setup Fast User Switching.

    Remember when you wife returns you will need to copy the domain.sites2 file you've been using for her back to her computer and replace the old one in her  Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder.

  • Embedding a Blogger Blog into my Muse Site

    Hi is it possible to embed a Blogger blog into my website? Or does Muse have a RSS Feed?

    Thank you for posting.
    Muse being a designing software, doesn't have RSS feed option. However, if you publish your site to BC, you will have the RSS feed and blog features as well. But if you want to host the site externally, you can embed blogger blog into muse site using iframe as mentioned in this doc https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/blogger-help-howdoi/Jy1sjSCTslE. You need to get the iframe code and insert it as html in your muse site.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to publish self-contained iweb site?

    I'm trying to publish a self-contained iweb site on a cd that will autorun, but I've had some problems:
    1. The disk refuses to autorun on either a PC or a Mac
    2. When I open the index on a PC, all of my text is highlighted in blue! It looks terrible!
    Any suggestions would be great.
    G5 tower/MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Assuming that you are not using any .Mac specific features, like counters or slideshows or passwords or search or comments...then using the "Publish to Folder" option would give you for all intents and purposes a "self-contained" website suitable for something like a CD. What you will end up inside your folder are two things....an index.html file and a folder (with the name of your site) containing all the pertinent files for your website. Simply drop these two items on your CD and burn.
    All someone has to do is to click on the index.html file and it will launch a browser and your website. In terms of how to make it autorun, I'm not sure what to tell you. There are ways to do this, but I am not so sophisticated. I'd rather keep things simple...
    What you could do rename the index.html file or an alias to the file something like "CLICK ME NOW!" and position it in the CD window so that it's the only thing visible to your viewers. That's how I would do it.

  • IWeb site publishing....

    Can someone please help me! I am kinda new to iWeb but, have successfully published sites in the past. I made a couple of changes to one of my sites and tried to publish it but, it is trying to launch it to an existing domain name that I own but, is being hosted by yahoo. Why will it not just publish it as and iWeb site. It is very important that I correct this problem ASAP! I am out of work and a potential job rest on me getting my site launched. Can anyone please help me?

    Where do you want to publish your site? To a MobileMe account or to your Yahoo hosting account? If it's the latter you need to give the new site a different name so that it will not overwrite your existing site.
    If you're publishing the new site to MMe, click on the site icon in iWeb and change the location of the hosting server in the resulting window.

  • How to put some iWeb pages onto my Blogger blog?

    I am using iWeb '09, 3.0.3 (501)
    There are two pages on my website that I would like to put on my personal Blogger blog. The iWeb page has a hyperlink that opens up another page. That first page also has some lightning flashes behind the old haunted mansion. (The URL links to those pages are below.)
    I would like to somehow get the HTML of the first page and the page that comes up when a person clicks "Enter."
    *Please, how can I do it? Theoretically, I see that if I can get the page into HTML and then paste that HTML into a Blogger page, then I can get the page. But how do I get the HTML from my iWeb page?*
    The page is here: http://web.mac.com/lorna6/Websiteof_Lorna_Alexander/TheyreAlive.html
    The page that comes up when a viewer clicks the "Enter" link is here: http://web.mac.com/lorna6/Websiteof_Lorna_Alexander/OldMansion.html
    Also, the link on the Index page is here: http://web.mac.com/lorna6/Websiteof_Lorna_Alexander/SITEMENU.html
    and I want to put that into a gadget in the sidebar of my Blogger blog. How to do it?
    The story that I had earlier intended to put into this website is now going to be in my blog.
    -L

    As iWeb only creates the html pages upon publishing you need to publish your site from iWeb to your desktop and it will then appear in your site folder. Double click one of the pages in your site folder and Safari will open it.
    To get the html, you can either open the page in Safari and click on View Source and copy the code from here or you can download a text editor such as TextWrangler and open your html page with TextWrangler and copy the code from here.
    iWeb code it quite messy so copying and pasting it to your Blog might not work that well - it can be done in iWeb, but not sure about Blogger?

  • Living in Brasil can I publish my iWeb site on a foreign hosting site?

    Hello folks,
    I have a web site developed with iWeb and presently published in a hosting site in Brasil, but I am unhappy with such hosting site for several reasons,  the main one is that it doesn't "speak" iWeb  and Apple language, making almost impossible to update my site, but also, their cost and Customer Services aren't good.
    Mobileme ends today and iCloud won't host iWeb sites, so I wonder if other, iWeb friendly sites, not located in Brasil, or even Brazilian ones,  would host my site?
    Thanks in advance   Paulo

    You can host your website with a host from any country. The only thing you may run into may be the added cost of telephone support. Most of the larger webhosts also provide pretty good instant chat or email support. I have not actually had to call my current webhost for any of the minor issues I have ran into. They have been able to solve my issues within quick order via intant chat or email. 
    I have been using IX Webhosting for several years now with little to no problems "usually the problem was something I did" and they have been quick to solve any issue I have come across.
