Recreate a blog page to link with existing entries

My hard disk crashed a while ago, and although it was replaced under Applecare, some of my data was either corrupted at the time or subsequently and hasn’t copied back successfully. The problem I’m stuck with now is that I can’t get iWeb working again properly, and I need to find out if there’s a way to recreate a blog page that will link to the existing series of entries which show up ok in the edit entries area, just not on the lead blog page itself.
Here’s more detailed info:
I've copied the whole Site folder from my iDisk, but can't seem to force iWeb to read from it. I can find the Domain file in my user library, and tried removing it to make iWeb create a new one, which I hoped it would rebuild from the downloaded Site folder which I swapped in for the old one that appears to be corrupt.
However, iWeb is a stubborn little so-and-so, and I just can't get two key parts of the site I've built within it to now see their links. The main opening page of the website is a blog, and that is completely blank, even though the series of entries are present. The archive for this section is also blank. This is my biggest worry, as if I try to publish and the index page is blank then there's no way to navigate to the rest of the site.
The second part that's playing up is also a blog, called Soul Blog, and for this one the blog page is partially there, but missing the list of entries (you can see the header section and a few Google ads down the right hand side). Again the entries are present, although several are missing their media (I think that may be a few files that were lost in trying to reinstall my data onto the replacement hard drive when mine crashed). On this one the archive seems fine.
I've added here a series of screenshots to illustrate what I mean, and whereas with a normal page I could just rebuild it, I can't figure out how to make a blog page and tell it to access all of the existing entries the old one linked to. So if any of you have any idea on how to go about this I'd be eternally grateful! Here are the screenshots, and many thanks for any help.

iWeb doesn't have an integrated way of doing this (perhaps in iWeb 2.0?), so you'll have to do post-publishing editing. One approach is to use a Flash-based viewer...
SimpleViewer is a free, customizable Flash image viewing application:
http://www.airtightinteractive.com/simpleviewer/
Here's an example integrated into an iWeb site:
http://www.rowan-cottage.co.uk/Site/Events_Photos.html
And here's a tutorial on how to do it:
http://www.rowan-cottage.co.uk/Site/SimpleViewer.html
An alternative viewer is:

Here's a thread discussing various alternatives:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4403028#4403028
Bear in mind that with such "viewers" you're not going to have complete flexibility on the placement of your thumbnails. For absolute control of thumbnail positioning and behaviour you would need, for example, a JavaScript script. Softpress' "Freeway Pro" web-design software incorporates a "Slave Show/Hide Image" JavaScript "Action":
http://www.softpress.com/actionfiles/Slave_Show_HideImage/
...but then you would be moving away from being a pure iWeb site.

My main blog page can't find its entry pages

When I make iWeb blog entry pages, the main blog page can't find them. It says "Error. The file cannot be found." (even if I just use the placeholder "Blue bird day" page without changing it!) I'm dragging my image onto the placeholder image on the (Modern) Blog entry page but the main Blog pag can't find it or even the placeholder image on an unmodified new blog entry page. I am publishing to a file and ftp-ing it up to my ISP but I get the "file cannot be found" message even on my own hard drive before uploading. What's wrong?
The blog page of my site is:
http://www.christopherrauschenberg.com/Site/Blog/Blog.html
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Well, not sure of a complete solution for you, but I have found a specific problem.
From the main blog page. . . the link it gives for New York is
http://www.christopherrauschenberg.com/Site/Blog/429B84A8-BD4B-4B30-8A66-017811D F742E.html
However, in checking the directory, looks like that is labeled instead as
http://www.christopherrauschenberg.com/Site/Blog/429B84A8-BD4B-4B30-_124C76.html
That would explain why it couldn't be found.
A little further checking or your root directory shows similar mismatches between various page index files and the folders containing data.
Have you published and uploaded portions at a time? Is ossible after changes we made that all changes were not published.
It might be best to clean out the FTP folder, republish your whole site from iWeb to a folder on your computer and re-FTP it to your site (making sure to enter correct url of your site on the publish screen as well).
(if you think I helped in any way, I'd appreciate it if you could mark my reply as either "solved" or "helpful" using the little buttons in the title bar of the reply. Manythanx! )
Good luck!

Blog Page doesn't display all entries

I have built a site using Modern Frame template. I am using the Blog page to display member profiles. It appears the front blog page has reached it's page length limit. The oldest displayed post is not the oldest if you see what I mean. Please see http://www.dfgs.co.uk and click on the members page.
If you go to the oldest entry (member), open their profile and click next, you will note there are further entries not displayed on the blog page. Most frustrating. Anyone any suggestions? or have I exceeded the blog page length.
Thanks in advance for amy support.

What I really meant to say is, in the Inspector, how do you extend the blog page to accept more than 50 entries? Help please......

Printing pages and links with one click

Is it possible to print a multiple page pdf document as well as any imbedded links in that document - with one click?

Hi Sunnihval,
No there isn't any option to print the mails as well as attachment with one go.
You have to manually open the attachment and print.

Page Indent problem with TOC entries...

I have a few TOC entries running to more than one line. I would like the text to be indented from the existing right indent/margin set-up so that the text does not extend as far as the Page numbers on the right hand margin of the TOC text frame. I have set a right tab so that the page numbers are tabbed over to the right edge of the frame but if I bring the right margin in with more indenting (presently 5mm), I can't have a tab stop for the page outside the right margin.
And if I insert soft-returns/new-line chars they wil get lost every time I rebuild the TOC (there will be a lot of that!)
Any ideas, Im sure this comes up for book designers all the time.

The same way you have a left first line indent, there is a right last line indent. You can set the right indent to (for example) two inches, and the last line right indent to negative two inches, and everything on a single line will go all the way to the right edge of the frame, and any paragraph that requires line breaks will break two inches to the left of the frame's right edge, while the last line will go to the right edge.

HT4686 How can I publish my website developed using iWeb and have all functions of the blog page work as it did with MobileMe?

I have developed a website using iWeb and it includes a blog page selected from stock pages in iWeb. I'm publishing it with GoDaddy and when I do that the interactive functions of the blog page don't work. (Adding comments and photos as well as searching). Is there any simple way to host this site somewhere so that those functions work?

No, because all those functions were MobileMe only and now that MobileMe has gone, they won't function any longer.
To enable these to function, you either need to add them yourself or change your blogging platform to something else such as WordPress etc., and create a link from iWeb to your WordPress blog or embed the blog page using iframe into your iWeb site.
Commenting systems such as Disqus or http://www.intensedebate.com work quite well.

Passing a page link with password embedded?

I did this a few years ago but cannot remember how.
I need to create a link to give to someone to a password
protected site (ASP
and Access db) that will have the password embedded directly
into the link
in order for them to be logged in to the site as soon as they
click the
link.
I tried something like this but it didn't work:
http://www.mysite.com/members.asp?pwd="ABC"

>I tried that link earlier with no luck.
Did you do this? (see below)

Email link - link problem on events and blog pages

I added a email link on a master page - link works properly on all except blog pages and events pages -
on these pages it links to http://www.h2oonstone.com/mailto:[email protected] which brings up a bad request
the link on my celebration page works Celebration | Water on Stone Productions | Art, Music, Magic
but on the individual events pages they don't - example National Wildlife Day -
also doesn't work on blog main Water on Stone Watershed
or on the individual pages Smoothie Love | Watershed | Water on Stone Productions

Hi Sanjit -
The workaround works - but - I had to fix it on the events and e-commerce templates too - and the error template as well.
The problem is is that every time I make a change and upload the muse file I will have to modify these html pages and that is unsustainable… way too much work as I will be modifying the pages frequently till I have site completed.
Also strange - on the Blog pages that when I reimplemented the email link (on the master page) that the normal state does not remain white but defaults to a black - which I suspect has to do with the link default states. I haven't been able to fix this today.
All the other buttons - with links off-site maintain the states and links work.
Thanks, Ann

Can/How can I create a page with all my blog pages RSS??

Hello all.
I have a website containing many seperate Blog pages according to their topics like News, Tech and Scifi.
Is it possible to create a new page, that will contain the latest entries of all these blog pages a one "consolidated" page, maybe perhaps of RSS feed?
Thanks and cheers

Apple states
How can I create a page that aggregates my podcasts?
If you have multiple podcasts listed in the iTunes Store, the iTunes staff can create a single page that lists all of them in one place. We call this page an “artist page.” Note that a podcast can only appear on one artist page.
To request an artist page, navigate to one of your podcasts, click on Report a Concern, and select Remove a Podcast. In the dialog box, explain that you would like an artist page, give us the exact name of the artist (please don’t include “Inc,” “LLC,” etc.), and list the exact feed URLs or links to your podcasts.
at the bottom of this page
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/creatorfaq.html
I hope two is enough and if not that someone contacts me and maybe even changes the info on the above link.
Thank you for your input!

IWeb Page Navigational Links not working with Internet Explorer 7

I'm hoping someone can help me out here? My wife created her 1st website using iWeb. I am testing the sites functionality before we publish it. All the pages and links work fine on Firefox and Safari for windows. However, the page navigational links are not working on Internet Explorer 7. All I see is a dot to the left side of where the page links should be. When I start the site in IE7 I get an Active X script warning and I am asked if I want to allow the script to run; to which I reply yes. After I allow the Active X script the dot to the left side of where the page links should be disappears, but the links do not appear.
Is there anyway to resolve this? Most of the members of her club have Windows based PCs and are using IE7.
Message was edited by: cviz821

Yes, Javascript is running on IE7 and other java script applets appear to be working with the exception of the Navbar script.
It would be great if my wife's friends used a "real" browser, unfortunately 70% of the people on the web use IE7, so this is a real concern if we can't get this to work. I'v seen other iWeb site on IE7 that seem to function fine, so I'm not sure what the issue is here.

Blog page in iweb site not responding or linking like other pages

Hi
This is a new issue for me. I have multiple pages that I created in my iweb site through my personal domain ... studio8films.net
All page hyperlinks will work properly, but the BLOG page seems to stall and when I look at the bottom of the window it is trying to access www.me.com where ALL THE OTHER PAGES show the access to web.mac.com
Can someone tell me why this is the case? It doesn't make sense. And it is a new issue.

Furthermore ...
When the BLOG page finally loads, I click on the 'add comment' and a message comes up that says 'We're sorry. We are having a problem processing your request.
Is there something going on with mobile.me and iweb blog pages or is there something wrong on my end?

Help, please! Any advice on how I link my new iMac and my new itunes software with existing external harddrive containing my entire itunes library?

Hello!
It should be a matter of
Quiting iTunes first if it's running
Connecting your external harddrive to your Mac, use the Finder to browse to it
Find your iTunes folder on the ext HDD and double-click on iTunes Library.itl

Help needed with iWeb- setting up Blog page

I have set up a website including a "blog" page using iWeb. I see that viewers can "subscribe" to the blog- but when I click on the subscribe button- I get an error message. What do I need to do so viewers can subscribe to my blog?

Since you do not provide factual information it is difficult to guess.
Where is the blog? And what is the message?
Anyway, let me guess. Your URL has no sitename in it.
If so, the rss feed links are broken.

Firefox doesn't know what to do with iWeb blog pages.

Why?
Firefox doesn't know what to do with iWeb blog pages. All the entries are missing, and in their place are the words, Blog Summary Widget. Is this a problem with just my version of Firefox (like maybe I'm missing a plug-in or something?) or is this a failure on iWeb's part?

There have been some quantum leaps in design and usefulness between FF1 and FF3. I'm not surprised that FF1 can't handle it. Download the latest FF for Mac and/or Windows here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
