Redirect iWeb Pages To External Sites?

I have a persona domain that I have linked to my .mac account. I have a previous blog that I am trying to substitute on my site instead of having to create a whole new one using the iWeb blog feature. How do I do this?
Currently, I have tried to change my CNAME records at my Domain control panel. I use blogger.com so I entered in a new CNAME record that would direct to the correct destination field.
All I want to happen is to have on my navigation bar where it says blog to redirect to myname.blogger.com. I can not figure out how to do this. Maybe I am just making it too complicated.

I was struggling with this same problem for a few hours tonight and finally got it figured out.
1. Create a blank page in iWeb and set it to be included in the navigation bar.
2. After publishing your site, find the file iWeb creates called "index.html" and open it with a text editor. (I like TextWrangler, but TextEdit should work as well.)
3. The file should be very short. Find the section that looks like this:
meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url= PageName.html" /
4. Replace the portion after "url=" with the full external URL you want the navigation bar link to point to. For example, your final line might look like this:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://myblog.blogspot.com" />
5. Select "Save as...", and use this file to replace the blank iWeb page you created for the Navbar. (If you made Blog.html, this will become your new "Blog.html" file. (Don't just save the file, or you'll screw up your index file. We're just using it as a template.)
For an example of this fix in action, here's my site where I did this exact same thing earlier this evening:
www.timelypersuasion.com
(click on the "blog" link in the navbar to see the external redirect)
Hope this helps.

Link iWeb Page To External Page

How do I link a page I've created in iWeb to my Blogger site? Meaning - when folks click on "Blogs & Podcasts" in the iWeb index, they will be automatically brought to my Blog site (external page)? I've tried everything and nothing seems to work!
I don't want to have an image on my iWeb Blog page where it's hyperlinked...I literally want folks to just be brought to my external Blogger page. Is this possible?

Hi Juliet,
You could create an auto-popup window you will find instructions on the following page
http://alyeska.altervista.org/en/iWeb_Music.html
BUT the auto popup window will not work for those whom have set their browser to block popup windows (for security reasons and because they're annoying sometimes...)
Another solution would be to embed the Blog into an iWeb page using an iframe like the example on this page:
http://alyeska.altervista.org/en/iWeb_Blogging.html
Another solution is provided here

Redirect from page within one site to an entirely new site?

Hi folks,
I have created a new website: http://wakatipucollection.co.nz as a replacement for a page I had been hosting at http://arrowmark.co.nz/clients
At the Arrowmark site I have updated the menu bar and text links to take visitors to the new stand alone site but I still have collateral out there, including business cards and QR codes, that use the old arrowmark/clients address.
I have inserted an iframe into the old page so that visitors see the same information as at wakatipucollection but it's not really ideal and I don't like its appearance.
Is there any way to apply a redirection to just one page in a site to another site altogether? Or if not, is anyone able to suggest a workaround that is more attractive that this iframe?
Thanks in advance for advice,
Jo

Thanks for replying.
arrowmark.co.nz/clients is not in a separate folder - all of my pages are in the root directory. Do I HAVE to create a separate folder for the page for this to work?
Also, how would I know if the host is verified?
The php solution will pose a bit of a problem as all the links/images in the page you are tring to 'get' will need to be absolute path links - http://wakatipucollection.co.nz/images/lake-hayes-panorama-2012.jpg - any scripts you'll need to use the absolute url as well:
<script src="http://wakatipucollection.co.nz/SpryAssets/SpryEffects.js" type="text/javascript"></script> and any css links.
You can change all those and it should work.
The other possible way would be to use your htaccess file if you have one!
Insert the following which should redirect anyone who accesses your old site to your new one.
redirect 301 http://arrowmark.co.nz/index.html http://wakatipucollection.co.nz/index.html
However the branding wont be preserved but can't you just add a subtle logo or something at the top of the page saying 'formerly Arrowmark' I mean who looks at the url address bar?

Add iWeb page to exisitng site?

Is it possible to intermingle an iWeb page within an exisiting website without creating problems and messing up my exisitng site? Or do I need to add some other way?
I imagine I could uploadt via FTP (to my server's public_html folder???) and use Contribute to link the iWeb page(s) to my exisitng site...
If all this is possible would someone give me the steps?
Mille Grazie,
Rich

Is it possible to intermingle an iWeb page within an
exisiting website without creating problems and
messing up my exisitng site? Or do I need to add some
other way?
Yes, this is possible. You just do this with links in your existing site.
I imagine I could uploadt via FTP (to my server's
public_html folder???) and use Contribute to link the
iWeb page(s) to my exisitng site...
That's right, you can upload your iWeb site folder to your server's public_html folder...just be able to describe the site folder in a URL...
If all this is possible would someone give me the
steps?
1. Publish iWeb site using "Publish to Folder" onto your desktop. You will see a folder containing two things: an "index.html" file and the actual site folder.
2. Upload this site folder to your server using your FTP program. Put it wherever you are instructed to upload HTML files. Upload just the site folder (one of the two items resulting from iWeb's Publish to Folder command).
3. Test out your iWeb site by accessing it from the URL that it should be accessible from your server... this will be the URL that you must provide links to in your existing site.
4. Edit your existing site to provide links to the new iWeb pages...using contribute or whatever you usually use. Link to your iWeb site using the URL you discovered in Step 3.
Hopefully this is all working! Good luck!

Trouble getting iWeb pages to hosting site

I am having trouble getting my updated iWeb pages loaded to my GoDaddy hosting web site. Every time I update a page in iWeb and then upload the pages by ftp to Godaddy, the home page either does not show up or it is badly distored or botched. Godaddy says it is an iWeb problem. The guy said something about "scripting". I am lost and frustrated. Help please!
Thanks.

Thanks for the help. I have rebuilt the Index page, again. I tried the local folder, saved to Sites on the Mac. Then I uploaded just the index page directly to Godaddy using the ftp in my file manager, but this time nothing.
I went back to the iWeb ftp to upload the Index page to the subfolder in my root directory on GoDaddy and moved all the files I could find to the root. THis time I have some of the elements of the index page in place (pictures, links) but none of the template background, colors, or fonts. All the other pages are OK.
Here is my home page: http://www.hijinkscotties.com
Did I miss an iWeb update that has changed anything in the program? Is this a scripting issue? (Whatever that means?)
Thanks-

Iweb page link to site

Can I set a page from iweb to go to a web site?

You can create a link from your site to another site yes.
Type your text and then highlight it and then open the Inspector and choose Hyperlink and then choose Hyperlink to an external page and you have created your link to a site outside iWeb.

Adding Individual IWeb pages to existing site.

I have a website that I created not using IWeb. Can I use IWeb to create a photo gallery page and add just that page to my website. I have a ton of pages and I don't want to start over but I like the way the slide show galleries work in IWeb. I also have good search engine placement and I don't want to mess with a good thing.

I would suggest that it is never a good idea to try creating another page with something other than you created your original site with.
Go back and create a page with the package you used to create the original site or totally re-build the whole site again in iWeb.
I'm not sure you will be able to get this to work because of the way in which iWeb publishes with an html page and the CSS folder that goes with it - most others create the pages and one CSS file for the whole site.
If you just want one page, then why not create it by hand using a text editor such as TextWrangler? Create what you want and just place a link within that page to the CSS folder that already exists for the rest of your site. This way, you will achieve a uniform look to your site with the extra page and you can easily create the links to the rest of your site and then just upload one page using Cyberduck or Transmit or something similar.

WRT54G2 redirects setup page to external website

I have a few WRT54G2 units that I am attempting to administer remotely. When I try to access the setup page I get as far as the authentication popup and then I get redirected to:
http://websearch.linksys.com/error_redirect_site/get_error_redirect?eg=0&job=natipaddress
A little background: These units are all using indentical configurations and use the same IPs. They are all setup in a DMZ in each remote site as Wireless Aceess Points and the necessary NAT policies are in place to allow setup access from my location. I have many WRT54G units deployed in this same manner and have no problems. If I am connected directly I do not see this issue.
Anyone have any ideas how to get around this?

Remote management is for allowing connections from the WAN port. I have the NAT policies connecting through to the LAN so remote management doesn't apply. Basically each site has it's own firewall (Sonicwall) and it's DMZ port is connected to one of the WRT54G2's LAN port. The WRT54G2's WAN port is vacant. The Sonicwall handles DHCP for the DMZ so all the WRT54G2 does is act as an wireless access point. It does work fine with the WRT54G but we had a couple fail and we replaced them with these newer models which work in every every other way but this.

Posting iweb to an external site--slide show

My wife is considering switching from a pc to a mac. She already has a web hosting site where she maintains a web site. We understand that we can use iweb to create and post the her html to this domain, but, without the enhanced slide show functionality. Does this mean that there is NO slideshow or that some of the functionality (the enhanced part??) is disabled?
Thanks
Steve

There is NO iWeb slideshow at all when not hosted via .Mac. There are alternative ways of doing slideshows however, as discussed in this thread...

Using iWeb, links to external sites revert to the apple site.

I have been wrestling with this for 2 weeks. Even the apple help desk can not sort this out and I have tried all suggestions from the apple support communities so far. When I try to link my web site to LinkedIn, it reverts to apple.live web site. I am going out of my mind trying to fix this. Does anyone have the solution??
Tony

Delete the link and try the following:
Try the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home()/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Track No. of times link to external site is clicked on a page

Question:
Our client strongly promotes another business on their site with a large button to click through to that business' url, which then opens in a new window. Is there any way in the reporting section of BC that our client can prove how many times visitors have clicked this link? i.e. a way that they can show how frequently referrals have come from them?
This kind of link click through tracking is obviously possible in eNewsletters - but what about on actual webpages?
Answer:
One way you could do it is by utilising the ad rotator module.
You can add the html to it then add the module code to your page and it will report on total impressions and click throughs to the link specified.
Then you can also have data on the conversion rate.
Another way would be to send your visitor to a page on your site that is redirected to the external site automatically. That way you can still track it.

Hi Mario
Just found your post after posting a similar / related question (mine has to do with tracking click-throughs from within a secure zone)
Am interested in your statement
'Another way would be to send your visitor to a page on your site that is redirected to the external site automatically. That way you can still track it'
Could you explain exactly how to track using page-redirects?
Many thanks

How to redirect a page on iweb

Hi I have an online store @ cafepress that I built with them..Is there a way to create a page on Iweb that visitors click (the tab) and are then taken to that specific page or is there a way to embed that page into an iweb page....any help would be appreciated.

You can make an external link for taking visitors on that page or you can embed that page in yours through an iframe but that doesn't work very well so I wouldn't recommend you to do that.
Reagrds,

Deleted pages in iWeb and on hosting site but still appear in navbar?

I've deleted a couple of pages in a site built in iWeb and also deleted the files and html of those pages where my site is hosted (Earthlink). However, I'm still seeing the names of those pages in the navbar — NOT in iWeb, but when i actually access the site. The pages themselves are not there anymore, but their names remain in the navbar (and click through to an error msg).
This makes me think I haven't uploaded all the necessary changes. Where does the code for the navbar reside? I reloaded the home file+html (among other pages) but not the index.

If you are using the iWeb default navigation, try publishing to a local folder and upload the feed.xml with your FTP application.

IWeb podcast page in different site.

My current site is many pages, many graphics, etc. .... i.e. it's slow loading, and slow to publish. I have another .me account and was thinking of creating my podcast page there to facilitate faster publishing when updating my podcast. I have feedburner so all I have to do to change it for iTunes is to change the page link on feedburner. So my question is, if I create my podcast page on another .me site page, how is that going to affect my iTunes listing?
Whenever I submit a new podcast to my site and publish it, it sends it to iTunes automatically, soooo, if I create a totally new id with all my podcast imported there (I will need to have all the podcast there as it will be the redirect from feedburner for my podcast), will they all submit to iTunes again and mess up my iTunes listing?
What do I need to be concerned with regarding my iTunes listing and ranking?
Thanks in advance for the feedback and suggestions.

Is your requirement is to have different master page for different site collection. If so, refer to the following posts for more information

IWeb page printed from iWeb site comes out BLACK on some browsers

I made and run a website for a local art group. iWeb works well for this purpose. I publish the site to our domain. The main site is for the public and a second site, password protected and reached through the main site, is for members.
I've put the entry form for our biggest annual exhibition on the website, intending that members can print it from there (most have hard copies as well). Printing works perfectly from Safari. But many members have PCs (grrr) and use things like Firefox and IE.
Firefox prints the iWeb pages totally BLACK. IE prints okay on some computers and not on others. A clue is that, if you look fast as you open an iWeb page in IE, you see all the layout components in light blue; it immediately disappears. But that is the part that prints out black.
What on earth is causing this and HOW can it be prevented?? I have used NO background color on my pages.
Thanx,

That ain't right! What you need to do is use web-safe fonts...
