Request: Please Critique This iWeb Site

Hello all! I'm hoping you can take a few minutes and look at a site I've created in iWeb. It's about 80 percent complete, so you will see some issues such as missing text, pink text, a few missing pictures, etc. The entire "Give and Support" section is still being written.
I'd really appreciate feedback from this community because I've relied heavily upon you and this message board to build this site. Your past discussions have been awesome resources.
It's for a place called Mt. Irenaeus, which is a Catholic Franciscan Retreat located in Western New York. It's run by a great group of Franciscan friars and I'm trying to help them communicate with a larger audience. Most of the people who know about this great place are graduates of a nearby university. For more objective details, read The New York Times profile in the Mountain Media section.
A few notes:
-- I use MassReplaceIt for a variety of tasks, including changing the link colors. However, within the last three weeks, that code has stopped replacing and I've been left with Apple's default colors. Can anyone help?
-- Plan to add comments to the blog section once I receive more blog entries and as we get closer to launch in the next few weeks. It appears that Haloscan is the best option?
-- The embedded Google Calendar works only sometimes on Safari. Works fine on my PC. Any ideas?
-- I can't seem to get the RSS feed for the blog to save properly in my RSS reader. It ends up titled as "MyBlog."
Here's the site:
http://www.mounti.com/Mount_Irenaeus/home.html
The URL will change when it goes live; everything is in a test folder right now. Pages will move the root address when live.
In addition to the questions above, what do you think of the overall presentation? Content? What other iWeb gems can be added? As total strangers, does this site help communicate what the place is about?
Thanks again, all.

In your website, in order to protect your content, you have this notice: "Copyright 2007, Mount Irenaeus Franciscan Mountain Retreat". But in the two "Mountain Chronicle" videos it appears that you are using a copyrighted soundtrack by Ennio Morricone from the film "The Mission". ...I say "appears" because I don't know for sure - I suggest you determine what the music is and check whether you can legally use it.
For works created in circumstances of employment or works known as “works for hire” (as is Morricone's composition) the term of copyright is 95 years from the date the work was first published. ...If the copyright owner were to discover your use of his work, you would probably receive an attorney's "cease and desist" order.

  • Check This iWeb Site Out!

    Good afternoon fellow iWeb users,
    I transfered my portfolio website into iWeb that I originally created using Dreamweaver. Although I found iWeb to be more constrictive than Dreamweaver, I did enjoy the simplicity of iWeb. Having knowledge of the html script language allowed me to transfer my Dreamweaver site over to an iWeb site flawlessly.

    Good evening Gjmnz,
    First, I would like to thank you for the compliment.
    Second, here is the step by step directions to add the .pdf file for download into your site:
    1. Put the .pdf file you want to add to your iWeb site on to your desktop.
    2. Select that .pdf file and in the upper menu (or finder bar) go to File and then select "Compress”.
    3. On your desktop a new file will appear named your.pdffilename.zip.
    4. Go into iWeb to the page on which you would like people to be able to download the .pdf zip file you just created.
    5. If you have an image and want people to be able to download the file by clicking that image: select the image, open the inspector and go to the link section, select enable as a hyperlink, in "link to" there's a teardown menu where you select "a file" and select the .pdf zip file you just created.
    If you want to have people to click on text follow exactly the same steps but instead of selecting an image select text for making a hyperlink.
    6. That's it, you're done! When you publish your changes the .pdf zip file will be published too. You don't have to do anything else, and you can delete the .pdf zip file from your desktop.
    Third, yes I have a visitor counter on my contact page.
    I hope this helps you out. Good luck.

  • Please critique this workflow

    I have a pile of miniDV tapes that I want to use as source material for various video projects.
    To do this I plug in the camcorder, find the right tape, capture the entire tape and then edit in iMovie.
    Now I have discovered OneStep iDVD so I'm thinking of adopting this workflow:
    1) Convert all my tapes to DVDs using OneStep iDVD.
    2) When I need the source material, I use Handbrake or DVDxDV to extract the entire DVD or portions of it.
    3) Import the resulting MGEG4 movie into iMovie.
    Before I go ahead with this, I wanted to ask if anyone sees any problems with this workflow. Specifically, am I going to lose any quality as I do the conversions? Will the scene breaks be preserved?
    Thanks.

    Personally, I think of DVDs as a final delivery format.
    In other words, once a movie is on a DVD, that's it. I don't try to bring it back into iMovie. Sure, there are workarounds to do so. But there is a loss of quality so I avoid it.
    How many tapes do you have? Can you log them on paper and use that to create a "paper edit" of you movie first to work out which tapes you'll need to import from.
    Ultimately, there's no way around it. Video editing requires a great deal of disk space.

  • Made a tool to reduce iWeb site size

    Hi!
    I created a small tool to reduce the size of iWeb sites.
    The manual can be found here:
    http://software.bitwaves.de/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=6
    The tool can be downloaded here:
    http://software.bitwaves.de/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=5
    (Uses java webstart to always give you the latest'n'greatest version)
    I don't have iWeb, since I live in germany and have no copy yet. As soon as it arrives I will do some more checking.
    In the meantime, please download the tool and send me info on how well it works for you in the forum:
    http://software.bitwaves.de/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=6
    (Please backup your iWeb sites prior to using this tool on them, it's in beta stage)
    Regards,
    Normen

    It does work, to a extent. The navigation bar images dissapeared but the links stayed there. The quality of the jpg pics was decreased too much. Anyway, a great attempt! The only critic I have for iWeb is the inefficient use it makes of files that repeat in more than one page and this program does a good attempt trying to solve it. Let me know when you have v. 2.0

    Hi,
    I am in big problem. I had deployed a web application on IIS 7.0 which have windows server 2008 r2 installed. We have some reports in web application. Everything is working fine in web application except when I export content feom SSRS reports to PDF or CSV
    format then I am getting following message
        Unable to open this Internet site.  The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found.  Please try again later.
    This message comes only on IE8 as I had installed Mozilla but that issue is not coming on Mozilla. I don't why this issue is coming and how to solve this issue. I had gone with every possible results which I found in google but noting seems to be helpful. Please
    help me as it's urgent and I am deploying on production server.
    Thanks...

    Hi Awadhendra,
    This error usually occurs if IE is configured with the "Do not save encrypted pages to disk" advanced options setting or the server is using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and has added one or both of the following HTTP headers to the response message:
    e.g: Response.AddHeader "Cache-control: no-cache" or “Cache-control: no-store”.
    To solve this issue, please try to cancel the “Do not save encrypted pages to disk” option in the advanced internet options or setting the “BypassSSLNoCache” registry. For more details, please refer to

  • I'd like to publish an iWeb site within iCloud account.  How do we do this please?

    I'd like to publish an iWeb site within my iCloud account.  How do I do this please?

    To publish your website you need to choose a hosting service. Here are some some pointers about what to look for...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Website-Hosting.html
    Most hosting services will also offer you at least on free domain name registration.
    Since you are using iWeb '08 you will need to publish to a local folder and upload the files using an FTP application...

    I have just created an iweb site which worked fine and was able to visit using the safari button on the bottom of the iweb page which directed me to http://web.me.com/mmerry/Mikes_Inks/Welcome.html
    I have added a domain name ‘mikesinks.com’ with go daddy which worked fine to start with but now when I go to the safari button it directs me to http://web.me.com/mmerry/Mikes_Inks/Welcome.html along with the message Safari can’t open the page “http://www.mikesinks.com/Mikes_Inks/index.html” because Safari can’t find the server “www.mikesinks.com”.
    this also happens in firefox.
    please can someone help.

    Try it without the "
    http://www.mikesinks.com/Mikes_Inks/index.html
    Use the shortest URL possible to arrive at your site.
    This will work : http://www.mikesinks.com/Mikes_Inks/
    This will work : http://www.mikesinks.com/
    And this link : http://mikesinks.com/ uses URL forwarding.
    Use forwarding to : http://www.mikesinks.com/

  • Have your iWeb site critiqued.

    If anyone would like to have their iWeb site critiqued post it here. All graphic designers and professionals alike are encouraged to critique as well. I have been working as a graphic designer for over 8 years, and am working towards my masters degree in graphic design. I have strong knowledge about typography and layout, and can offer constructive criticisms to help improve the look of your site. Anyone who is interested is welcome to post.

    Juejuegirl:
    I think you have some nice things going on here. What I like the most is the "Blog" page. I think the background here and the fonts fit your theme more so than the other pages.
    An important thing in design is to be consistent, especially when designing a multiple page layout. This will bring the site together as a whole. Having the navigation menu change for each page can be a bit confusing and can "throw off" the viewer.
    Maybe finding a page you really like (my vote is for the blog page) and matching the other pages to this style would bring the whole site together.
    Also, you don't want to use too many different type faces. I would use the same font and style for subheadings throughout (say Garamond semibold 14 pt), and then for the paragraph text below a contrasting font (say Arial or Verdana 10 pt.) This will embed in the viewers head and they will be able to navigate through the site easily.
    For example on the "who are we" page you have the subheading "who lives downtown", and then paragraph type below it. This looks nice, but then immediatly below it the next subheading "featured product" and its paragraph type changes. Make these the same throughout and your site will become more cohesive.
    If you stick with the first page, bring up the blog button so the nav menu is on one line. Its hanging by itself right now, and needs to be with its buddies.
    Hope this is useful. Nice job.

  • What about my IWeb site??? Will that transfer also? Please reply. Thank you. Carol

    Please reply with information whether IWeb sites will be transferred to the cloud or are we to find a new host before 2011?

    Look, why not read the many post on the forums first before posting something like this.
    We are not employees of Apple and are just forum users like yourself here, so we really don't know what will happen. 
    Nobody knows and we will just have to wait and see.
    Before you start panicking, MobileMe hosting will be around for at least another year, so if you have MobileMe now, you can continue to use it.
    Wait for Apple to announce the plans, like the rest of us will have to and read the other forum posts on the topic and send Apple feedback.

  • This web site must be created on a server that is running Microsoft Sharepoint Foundation. Please choose another Location

    Hi all, I installed microsoft sharepoint designer 2010. It was working perfectly up until yesterday when I create a new site, it gave me an error that said " This web site must be created on a server that is running Microsoft Sharepoint Foundation.
    Please choose another Location " Now I can't create any sharepoint site and it freaks me out. I tried repairing, unistalling and reinstalling but still i get the same message. 

    You have to have SharePoint 2010, either SharePoint Foundation 2010 or SharePoint Server 2010, installed somewhere in order to be able to create SharePoint sites with SharePoint Designer 2010. SharePoint Designer 2010 is a client-side product, which is usually
    installed on end user machines and then used to connect to a server-side edition of SharePoint 2010 (either of the two I mentioned above) to modify the SharePoint sites hosted on that server-side product.
    It is possible to install SharePoint Foundation 2010 on a client operating system (Windows 7), but it is much more likely that a production environment will involve installing SharePoint Foundation 2010 or SharePoint Server 2010 on a server operating system
    (Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2) on a central server that can be accessed by multiple users.
    If you are looking to do testing, you can either install Foundation on Windows 7, or use a virtualization product such as Hyper-V, VMware Workstation, Virtual Box, to name a few, to build a virtual server hosting SharePoint.
    You aren't going to be able to create SharePoint sites with SPD until you have SharePoint Foundation 2010 or SharePoint Server 2010 somewhere for it to connect to, sorry.

  • Have published iweb site for five years with no problems and just opened a new site and get - 404: Page not found  This error is generated when there was no web page with the name you specified at the web site.-is the problem with iweb or with hosting?  T

    I am sorry if thie is republished-My first time doing this and I am not sure what goes where and where to hear feedback.
    Have published iweb site for five years with no problems and just opened a new site and get -
    404: Page not found 
    This error is generated when there was no web page with the name you specified at the web site.-
    Troubleshooting suggestions:
    Ensure the page you are linking to exists in the correct folder.
    Check your file name for case sensitivity . Index.htm is not the same as index.htm!
    Temporarily disable any rewrite rules by renaming your .htaccess file if it exists
    is the problem with
    iweb or with hosting?
    One Apple tech started to fix Iweb and had to end session and the next said problem with hosting at Network Solutions as it published
    to local folder. NWS has checked sttting a few times-
    Any help would be extremely appreciated as trying to fix this for about five weeks
    Thanks VG
    <Email Edited by Host>

    It's a really bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it. (Even though I've now noticed you mis-spelled it! - anyway, never post your address in a forum.)
    You have a site here: http://virginiagordon.com/www.virginiagordon.com/WELCOME.html
    If that's not the page you are having trouble with, what is that page's URL?

  • Server was unable to process request. --- ERROR: This site is not hosted on this data center C#

    I am working with the API for the first time, and I am currently trying to figure out how to pull a list of products from a cat using the Product_ListRetrieve, I keep getting this error
    Server was unable to process request. ---> ERROR: This site is not hosted on this data center

    Okay so if anyone else is having these issues I found an answer for MVC3 C#:
    Go into the Web Config and look at the Application Settings, by editing the URL there you can find a value containing the service url. add the subdomain there:
    Example-
      <applicationSettings>
        <ITCatExtend.Properties.Settings>
          <setting name="ITCatExtend_CRM_CatalystCRMWebservice" serializeAs="String">
            <value>https://Add the Sub Domain Here.worldsecuresystems.com/CatalystWebService/CatalystCRMWebservice.asmx</value>
          </setting>
          <setting name="ITCatExtend_Ecom_CatalystEcommerceWebservice"
            serializeAs="String">
            <value>https://Add the Sub Domain Here.worldsecuresystems.com/catalystwebservice/catalystecommercewebservice.asmx</value>
          </setting>
        </ITCatExtend.Properties.Settings>
      </applicationSettings>
