How do I add a blog to my Muse site?

Is there a widget or something I can throw onto a page and have people post comments?
Or more importantly, can I just allow my customer to post "News" through In-Browser editing? (Do I just throw a text block on a page and title it, "News" and let them add to it)?
What if they wanted to add photos to their "News" or "Blog" page?

You can absolutely insert a blog into your Adobe Muse site. Most instructions for doing this involve creating a WordPress hosted blog, then embedding that into a Muse page with 'Insert HTML', which creates an iframe with your blog inside.
While embedding an existing blog with an iframe within a Muse page works, it isolates the blog's content from being considered in the main site's SEO, since it's pages are not actually on the site's server.
The simplest way, and it's very simple, is to install a WordPress, or any other, blog into a folder in your site named 'blog'. Pick a theme that enables you to mimic your main as closely as you care to. Then create a link in your main site's menu to link to the blog folder. Here's an example...
http://creativeillusions.biz
You can also use a blank WordPress theme with no header or footer at all - only the blog posts and sidebar(for categories and recent posts, etc.). Use that theme with a locally installed WordPress blog, them embed that blog in an iframe, and you'd have a very functional blog that can perfectly fit your Muse site's theme, since it's header and footer will actually be the ones on your main site. Plus, since it's actually hosted along with your Muse site's files, it's available for the site's SEO.
For SEO purposes, you'll need to add your blog folder manually to your sitemap.xml. This is a bit of a hassle, since you'll need to add the blog's entry into your sitemap.xml each time that you re-upload your site, since that actually writes a new version of the sitemap.xml over the existing one. Still, it's a very simple way to add a blog to your Muse site.

Can Someone PLEASE Tell Me Why My Muse Site Will Not Work Upon HTML Export?

Sorry for the long title!
I've had a few threads going regarding troubles with my Muse site. These issues have been on-going, and once I was no longer able to upload to Fetch—and had to export to html via FileZilla—it just seems the problems continue to snowball.
I have a web site. I will disclose the URL here now: www.jamescdarling.com
When this site was html-based (its original form), using my yahoo small business web host and Fetch, it worked like a charm. All Flash files functioned at 100%, embedded videos/players all played great, etc. Then, I switched over to Muse 1.) because I was excited by the potential, and 2.) I wanted to re-design my site, anyway.
So, I created my site in Muse, and uploaded it all into Fetch. I soon found that some of my Flash files and videos were not working. This was the case for a long time. I finally gave up after trying everything and asking lots of questions here.
Just recently, I set out to fix these issues as I was afraid this half-assed site would appear to make me look unprofessional and like I had no idea how to use Flash. I had some problems with the new Muse Update (had to ditch Fetch and use "export with html" using FileZlilla). Changes made to my Muse file were not taking... and each time I viewed my updated site, the updates were not there—it still looked like the previous incarnation of the site. However, with some help from some of the good folks here, I was able to make my site not only update, but work nearly perfectly—or so I thought!
I just clicked on my personal web site URL link in my LinkedIn page, and I see the old-looking site! The bookmark I have of my site is near-perfect—only the videos still will not load. However, it would seem that my site only functions as well as it does on MY computer only—that is, URL's I have been sending out probably are of the old non-functioning site? The changes I make are not being recognized.
If you will, click on my above URL (in bold)..... If you click on "Resume", you should see light blue rules separating each section. But I bet you will see heavier gray bars with headers inside them. Also, if you view my Flash work, go to the "Epiphone Casino Mini Site".... the "Finshes" and "Features" pages' interactive elements will not function as they should (never mind the video page!)—but they work perfectly when accessing my site from my bookmark on my computer.
Can someone please tell me how to make my site update web-wide, and how to get my Flash files to function?
Thanks!!!

Hi, I'd like to add some typekit fonts to my Muse site but- ?

I know this website:
How to add Typekit fonts to your Muse site
from Muse Insider,
but it totally doesn't work for me, I tried a lot of times and I don't know what I'm doing wrong (I know that I have to publish the site first to see the added font but it still doesn't work ) I'm really confused, please help! (the fonts I want to add is Brandon Grotesque, Activ Grotesque).
Looking forward to hearing from you soon...
thanks,
Karolina

I was pretty disappointed to find out Muse didn't support the full Typekit library when Typekit became available to Creative Cloud members. It's clearly one of the biggest drawbacks in a Muse vs. Dreamweaver comparison. There are hacks available to incorporate Typekit fonts into Muse, but the "how to" procedures are not very user friendly. Muse Themes has a Full Typekit widget, but even it's not all that easy to use. They have a nearly 9 minute long video on their website describing the procedure.
Adobe Muse Full Typekit Library Widget | MuseThemes.com
Additionally, I was pretty disappointed by the number of typefaces in Typekit that were web only (such as Brandon Grotesk) or had only one or two of several font weight available for the desktop/print version (such as Trajan Pro and Trajan Sans Pro).
As a consequence, I haven't messed with Typekit very much and honestly don't find a lot of value with it -at least not much of the access being blocked. So I'm still looking out for new fonts at bargain introductory pricing at sites like MyFonts or keeping an eye at some free sites like Font Squirrel.
Incidentally, the "Edge" fonts in Muse pale in comparison just with what's available for free at Font Squirrel. Within Muse you'll get a pretty limited number of weight/style choices with the Edge fonts. At Font Squirrel some of those same fonts have many more styles/weights available to them.
In the end, it's just a whole lot faster and easier to either buy or legally acquire web fonts either through pay sites like MyFonts or free sites like Font Squirrel and end up with the system and web fonts you can use on your computer in Muse without any crazy code hacks.

Muse site doesn't display properly

Here's the deal. I created a site in muse, then exported to html. Muse created index.html inside of the folder where the muse doc is located. That's exactly what I expect. Now, when I ftp to my webserver, all I get is plain text. I don't think the server is the culprit, because it hosts other muse sites properly. if I navigate to the UNC path and launch index.html, it displays properly. it's only when I hit the url from a browser. What could I possibly be doing wrong here?

Hello Matt,
On running the pages locally from the location where they were exported to, if they look fine and load up as they are supposed to, then it confirms that Muse exported the pages fine. This then leaves only two possibilities where things might have gone wrong, as mentioned below:
1. Either the upload didn't go fine. In this case, try re-uploading using both the "File -> Upload to FTP host" and "File -> Export As HTML" and then using an FTP client to upload to the host.
2. Or the host isn't rendering the site as it should. In this case, have the host "Reset your FTP permissions" and then reupload the site to see if that resolves the issue.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Merging two separate MUSE sites into a single MENU system and Paid & online BC eCommerce site

Hi all! I am stuck trying to figure out a Process Conundrum:
1> I have a BC site with e-commerce ready to go - paid - online with store template in place.
2> I also Have a 2nd MUSE created web site (with the client content/pages) that needs to merge with that E-commerce BC site.
What is the move to merge the two separate sites into a single site with the Menus all in proper order?
Is this simple and I can not see it? (merge the two sites in a folder and reopen in muse for new menus?
Or do i need Dreamweaver to assist in the merge?
In other words:
What is the PATH/PROCESS to merge a 2nd MUSE designed web site (sans e-commerce), in order to tie into the online BC e-commerce template paid site - so the menus update together as "one" site?
Menu Update Concern: merging two separate MUSE sites into a single MENU system with the "Paid on line Active BC e-commerce Template". How do it do it Process wise so that the menus adjust automatically... so they are "one" menu.
Reminds me of an old joke: Q: "What did the Buddhist say to the hot dog vendor at the ball park?"
A: "Make me one with everything!"
ONWARD>>>>>
Possible paths I am about to take attempting to Solve the problem - and scale the learning curve...
download the BC e-commerce site into Dreamweaver -
export the 2nd muse site by publishing it to a unique folder.
combine them by going back into dream weaver and attempting to figure out linking the menus. - perhaps they are automatic there too.
or load them both up to BC and back down to MUSE to fix the menus?
I appreciate Any recommendations, hits or humor that you could help on this.
Cheers!

Thanks, Liam... I will get it eventually...
Sadly: I do not have a budget to hire this out...
   - I have gone through lots of the BC and Muse training exercises. Adobe
   and BC Gurus.
But... if the only problem is that I need to work though my partner site BC
interface...
   - that would be fine...
   - so would using dream weaver....
I will go back and review the BC interface and also dreamweaver
capabilities.
without a budget... i need to figure it out... please do point to any
material or training you might be able to point me to.
I don't have to use muse, if that is my sticking point. I just need to get
the project up and BC looks perfect.
Thanks.

Hosting Muse site at BC

I have a full CC subscription and therefore am permitted 5 free BC sites.
Are these only for 28 days or whatever for testing and sharing, or can they be hosted long term within the terms of the 5 free sites, without additional charges?
Sorry to be thick, but it doesn't seem to be clear from what I read on the site.

Take a look at this article - http://helpx.adobe.com/muse/tutorials/launching-muse-site-push-live-1.html.
You can create a maximum of 100 free trial sites with your Business Catalyst free Partner account, you would usually use these for previewing and testing purposes or sharing the work with your clients for review. A trial site remains active for 30 days following the last time it is published to.
The free Business Catalyst sites that you push live (max 5) renew automatically with your Creative Cloud subscription. So you just need to pay for CC subscription and your free sites hosted with Business Catalyst remain "live". These sites are webBasics by plan (and can always be upgraded to higher), read more about site plans here - http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/kb/detailed-plan-breakdown.html.

How do I add an already built Shopping Cart (PHP and MYSQL) application to a page in a Muse site?

How do I add an already built Shopping Cart (PHP and MYSQL) (Cartweaver 4) application to a page in a Muse site? Do I have to export the Muse site as Html to dreamweaver and them use the extension to bring the shooping cart in or can I do it directly in Muse?
Message was edited by: mgv2048

We have experimented with doing this with some good success. We have been working on adding Cartweaver to a Facebook page by essentially adding a Cartweaver store to Facebook in an iframe. The "store" would be pages with just your basic product display, cart, and checkout functionality, with none of the "window dressing" - just use CSS to match the color and general look of the design it's being added to.
The one problem with this for Facebook is when it comes time to check out toy have to leave Facebook and go to your server where an SSL is in place. Fortunately in this situation this would not be the case, you can have an SSL installed to the root of your site and you'll be okay.
This is an interesting project. Give this a try and let me know how it goes and if you run into any snags, please make a post on the Cartweaver forums: http://forums.cartweaver.com - I'm really confident that this can work, and not only work, but work well.
Looking forward to hearing how this goes, and being of what help we can.

How do I Add Google's Universal Analytics to a Muse site

I'm trying to add Google's new Universal Analytics code (.js code) to my muse site. I've added the js code into the Master page that every page uses but that doesn't seem to work. I've also tried adding it individually to each page (removing it from the master) but that also doesn't work. Google's tag manager says it is installed, but Analytics says it isn't.
Does anyone know how I'd install it? Here is the website in question.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
There are multiple ways in which you can add the HTML code to your site. Few methods are :-
1) Copy your HTML code, In Muse -> Select Objects-> Insert HTML . Paste your HTML code on the page. Please reer to this screenshot :- http://prntscr.com/52vprn
2) If you want to add the HTML code in the Head section of your page, Go to Page Properties-> Metadata-> HTML for <Head> . Please refer to this screenshot :- http://prntscr.com/52vpx5

How do I add cookies to adobe muse site?

Hello,
I am creating a site in Adobe Muse, which I also host through the webbasic adobe business catalyst account.
I want to add a cookies message onto my site and to that of client sites that I create.
I searched the forum and there appears to be a guide showing how to get the cookies set up in adobe business catalyst itself. However, when I try to follow the instructions, I fall at the first hurdle because it tells me to go into Site Manager and then into Pages. However, I don't have anything that says Pages. Mine only has two options; Web Forms and System Emails. The only thing in the Web Forms folder is Contact Form.
I have no idea how to get the cookies message onto my Adobe Muse site. Please...does anyone know the answer?
Also, if someone from Adobe reads this, it would be great if Adobe Muse had a widget for this...considering it is now a requirement for all websites that use cookies to be able to get consent. I hope it's in the next update.
Cheers
Sebastian

Refer to this thread for instructions on adding a Manage cookies form - http://forums.adobe.com/message/539301
The online content editing is disabled by default for sites published through Muse to BC and hence the Pages tab doesn't appear for you under Site Manager. However, you can always enable the Online Content editing feature by logging into the site admin -> going to the My Details section (by hovering over your name at the top right) and enable the option as indicated in the screenshot below.
Please refer to the following post for a reason as to why the option is incompatible with Muse (but doesn't affect any functionality as such if you enable it).

Edge Animation having troubles with iOS devices within Muse Site

Hi All! I've been creating a mobile version of my website www.rinkdesigns.com and have it all complete. I created an animation/navigation bar within Adobe Edge Animate and imported it into Muse. It functions AMAZINGLY on my Nexus 4 (Android) in Chrome but on a buddies iPhone 5 Chrome only loads about 3/4 of the animation/nav bar, in Safari the animation does not load at all and half of the page background does not load either. Please check out the preview site here http://rinkdesignsmobile.businesscatalyst.com/phone
Has anyone else been having animation/mobile troubles with iOS devices? Any hints as to how you fixed your errors would be extremely helpful! I also posted this question in the Muse forum and haven't gotten a response...
Thanks,
John

Or, how about this:
Does anyone know how to have Edge Animate objects that utilize "_top" in an open url trigger make the Muse site that they are a part of open a new window/tab with that action (as opposed to having it open the url in the current page, or using "_blank" in the trigger)?
