Shuffling around blog entries?

Hi All,
A while back I created several blog pages with iWeb. I did this because it seemed like a way to have categories for my entries. Now I'd like to re-organize my "categories". Which is to say I'd like to move blog entries from one blog page to another one.
I see where I can duplicate an entry and delete an entry, but I can't figure out how to simply copy and paste an entry to another page.
I tried creating a entry in the target blog page, deleting its contents and pasting the contents of another entry. But that didn't work. I ended up with the original empty template content as well as text boxes from the original entry.
The only thing I found that would work is to duplicate an entry in the target blog page, and then copy and paste each of the text fields from one page to the other and then set the date by hand. I don't want to do this for all the rest of the entries. It is tedious, error prone, and tiresome.
Anyone have a better solution?
Cheers,
Chris

Nope, you can't do this. Sorry!

  • Blog entry didn't show up on blog summary page. ¿Por qué?

    RE: Blog
    Last night I wrote a blog entry, but the first few sentences did NOT show up on the blog summary page. I previously had set the blog entry length to be short (toggled far to the left), but there is a difference between a short length and NO length at all.
    Why do you suppose this happened?
    INFORMATION: Prior to writing the blog entry I was having difficulty with the picture not showing up on the blog entry page, and in trying to edit it and move text around I might have messed up some registration lines, or LINES. Could that have had an effect? I must say that of all the things involved in iWeb, this Blog feature has given me the most problems and made me the angriest. Just thinking about it right now has created a tight knot in my chest.

    Go back to your main blog summary page in iWeb. Open
    the Inspector to the RSS tab and slide the text
    excert slider to show ALL (all the way to the right).
    Does ANY of your blog text show up in this
    particular entry?
    .......... Lorna says ................................................
    Well, Inspector Tseng, I toggled to the *Show All* position, and heheheh, none of the blog entry showed on the blog summary page.
    If not, then perhaps you entered
    your text in a different text box....did you add a
    text box to the page? If it does, then maybe you
    have some preceding spaces in the text box? Or
    maybe you inserted a photo into the text box
    inadvertently?
    .......... Lorna says ................................................
    James, last night I was having so many dang blasted flippin cockamamie problems with the picture that I moved a bunch of things around and recall making a new text box and typing into it. Grrrr.
    I am going to return there and copy and paste and delete that page. I feel very bad that I cannot master the blog after so much stupid time. I also think that the blog needs to be more idiot proofed so that normally OK actions in other iWeb scenarios don't end up as yet another disaster on the ash heap of broken iWeb dreams.

  • How do I change the order of blog entries?

    How can I change the order of my blog entries? I want to add some extra items with an earlier date but iWeb won't let me drag the entries around and insists they must stay in the order of the creation date. What do I do?

    Chris...
    yeah, I'm probably not making myself clear... change the date on the podcast page entry. Select the entry you want to edit, then move your mouse down to the actual page that appears below. On that page, below the title, is a date. Change that. It will change the date published in the entry list above.

    This is the standard listing... day spelled out, Month and day number, year. iWeb has to see it in this format to make the changes above.

  • Issue with Blog entry length

    Okay, so i create a blog with pictures that are very long (several pictures made into one in photoshop). When i'm editing the blog entry in iWeb, everything looks fine. When i view it in the browser the page cuts off half way and moves the next and previous buttons up to where it cuts off. In iWeb i set the page length to be 4000pixels, which is more than enough...but it doesn't show up that way in the browser.
    My solution right now is to open the html file in dreamweaver and change the length pixels to 3000, which works fine. The problem is that anytime i do work in iWeb, it'll automatically save it back to it's version...so i'd have to change every blog entry every time i do anything to the website! WHAT A PAIN!!!
    Anyone else had this problem? Is there a solution? Is Apple listening? FIX THE BUGS!

    This seems totally illogical to me, because if the picture is in the body, the footer should come after the body. I should have to extend a footer to have an entire picture in the body show up.
    Either way, i obviously did it (because all your other advice is accurate), and of course it works....sort of.
    Okay, so now i CAN see the entire picture, however, Next and Previous still show up mid way through the picture. yet in the editor they are under the picture. SO, i thought i'd just drag them down a ways and sort of gage how much extra space is needed. So in the editor there would be a huge gap under the picture before these arrows show up. Unfortunately, this didn't work, the next and previous buttons still who up mid way over the picture. GAH?
    Is there a fix for this? I haven't really bothered playing around with it, 'cause i spent soo much time last night trying to figure out why adding another blank page caused all my other pages to alter.
    Thanks for your help on all my issues Ethmoid!

  • I want to insert a picture into a body of text in a blog entry page.

    This has me stumped. I did it once but cannot do it again.
    How can I place a picture into a body of text? I have a print-out from the HELP menu but it is not clear. It talks of inline and fixed objects. I think I want a fixed object -- one that does not move along with the text as the text grows/moves along the page incrementally.
    Because I am working with the photo on a blog entry page I cannot do the Choose Insert > Choose > Select the file, and click insert. I cannot because (1) The picture has to stay on the page in that Magic Frame, and (2) the choosing capability of the iWeb program does not enable someone to go inside the iWeb program and land on a certain page.
    I am working on the blog page. Instead of a tiny little picture of a doll at the top of the page, I want to raise all of the text and put the little doll's head inside the text body.
    I am so stumped. The instructions are not clear at all.

    Well i did exactly what your trying to do...go to
    http://www.mac-switch.com
    and view the blog "power button shortcut"
    Go to the section you want to add the photo
    to...Click "insert" then "choose" and choose the file
    you want to put in there.
    Good luck
    Rob.
    Hi Rob......
    You know, I went to that Power Button Shortcut blog and for the life of me, your point went flying over my brains -- I just did not get what point you were making to me. The Power Button thing was not what I was trying to do. I was trying to put a PICTURE of a doll's head inside a body of text. That means I had to get text wrap to kick in, and..........
    But the bottomest line is, I finally did it. I don't know how I did it because I was in a state of just clicking around, trying to move text. It's a long story to duplicate, but I went through several steps and since it was just desperation moves I was doing, I don't have a set of notes to go by for the next time.
    The hard part, or one of them, was to get the Text Inspector to make he Text Wrap workable. For a long time , no matter what I did, the Text Wrap option remained greyed out. It was maddening. Then for reasons that I cannot recreate in an orderly fashion, I got the Text Wrap option to get bolded out, and thus an option.
    Thank you for trying. BTW, I think your pages look wonderful and very slick (which I think is the right look for what you want to do with your website).

  • Please help with creating more diverse iweb blog entries

    I have a blog about sports memorabilia that I use iweb for: http://www.hoopography.com. I have come to a road block in creating blog entries. I have two issues:
    1.) I would like to include more than one image for each blog. I tried to just add images and wrap text around when I create the entry in iWeb, but the images do not show up on the homepage where the blog section is located. I'm assuming I need more than one "place holder", but I have not been able to add more than one. Here is an example of another blog that has multiple images for one entry. Essentially, what I am trying to accomplish: http://offysports.blogspot.com/
    2.) I would like to add YouTube videos so that they not only appear in the individual entry, but also on the homepage where the blog section is located (Otherwise, visitors to the site need to click on the entry to even realize the image is a video. I would like readers to be able to play it right on the homepage.). I have tried to use the "YouTube Widget" to add the videos when working on the entry in iWeb, but the video appears as a still image on the homepage's blog section.
    I have some knowledge of iWeb and Macs. I have been using a Mac and iWeb to work on this blog for about 6 months now, but these 2 problems have stumped and constrained me and the blog. Please help!!!!!! Thanks You.

    I tuned the Place holder into a YouTube Video Widget, and it does display on the homepage, but it does not display as a video. It displays as a still image that the reader has to click on to access the entry and then play the video in the entry instead of playing right on the homepage.
    For the multiple images, are you saying that I can only have one placeholder? I do not follow. I want multiple placeholders for multiple images throughout the single entry (ex: http://offysports.blogspot.com/2010/05/2009-10-panini-studio-basketball.html)
    Thanks

  • IWeb Blog Entries - search, keywords, and categories?

    Hi all
    I've been looking around these forums and elsewhere for help on this, but not having much luck...
    I'm wanting to put a search box on to my iWeb site. I am not a MobileMe customer and therefore realise the default search field in iWeb will not work. Does anyone know of one/a way that will allow me to:
    - Search blog entries
    - Add keywords to blog entries created in iWeb
    - View blog entries that have been assigned to a particular category (e.g. A 'holidays' topic would show all the entries with the holiday keyword, the 'work' topic would show all entries with work...etc.)
    All of this would need to be integrated in to my site, and ideally not be done on a 3rd-party site.
    Any help would really be appreciated. Like I said, I am not a MobileMe user and would be publishing the site on my own webspace.
    Hope someone out there can help!
    Thanks, and happy holidays!

  • Blog entry template type?

    I want to change hyperlink colors in my blog entries. I followed the excellent instructions I found here and edited the blog template to make the hyperlinks blue. But only the links on the main blog page were affected. Which template do I have to edit to change the colors for blog entries? Thanks.
    David

    Looking around on some of the sites linked from posts in this forum, I found the answer to my question. In case anyone else has this question: the blog template file contains the settings for all three blog page types (main, entry and archive).

  • Blog entry without photo

    Is there an easy way to add a blog entry without a photo? It defaults to the page with the photo. I deleted the photo, but then the text remains in the same place with a large blank space between the top of the page and the text. This seems cumbersome to add a simple text-only entry.
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    When I delete a photo from the entry page I would like the text at the "main blog page" to use the whole width of the entry. Instead is a big white hole where the photo should have been and the text is still formatted to the right or left of the empty photo holder. Any way to get around this?

  • Blog entry issue

    Does anyone know if the new iweb fixes the problem of limited blog entries? I have read many other people having this same problem with not being able to add a new entry unless an older one is deleted.

  • Maximum Number of Blog Entries on the Main Blog Page

    I would like to increase the number of Blog entries on my Main Blog page beyond the limit of 50 allowed through the Inspector Panel in iWeb 09. Does anyone know a work-around to this limitation?
    Thanks, -JAS

    Try creating a new blog page that looks identical to the current blog you have. Then once you start a new blog on the new blog template you just created, simply make a button or text link to your other blog. If I'm not mistaken you can create as many blog templates as you wish.
    Please let me know if I'm wrong.

  • Web-based blog entry

    I want to maintain a daily web log, with tekst, photo's and small video moves.
    This is easy to do with iWeb and publicing on web.mac.com/myname/
    However, does Apple has a solution for adding new blog entries while on the holiday, let's say from a average internet cafe? I could only found publishing on homepage.mac.com/myname/ but that looks rather primitive and appears to be a different site than web.mac.com

  • Customizing blog entries page

    Instead of having my blog entries page just appear as a headline and summary of my blog entries, I'd like to have this page serve as my main page, so that all entries can be seen in their entirety, along with photos and design from the entries page.
    In other words, less clicking around to "read more". I want the blog page to have everything so it's scrollable. Is there a way to do this?

  • How to delete a blog entry in Lion Server Wiki?

    Anyone know how to do this?  It seems that even logged in as system administrator you cannot delete blog entries using the web interface. 
    Wiki help unhelpfully reports that "If Delete Page or Delete File isn't listed, you can't delete the page or file.".  Really?
    Thanks in advance for any help avail.

    The above works most of the time, but sometimes User accounts can be stubborn.  I setup an admin account, perhaps unecessarily, when installing lion on a new solid state hard drive.  After migrating my original Admin account over from the hard drive I had difficulty in removing the newly created Admin (method: I clicked the minus and deleted the home folder, checking 'erase home folder securely') which resulted in the acct. being downgraded to Standard.  Still it would show up at startup login screen.  Although logging in to this account (to attempt to logout and then reattempt the delete) was not possible (never ending spinning beachball - not what you want with 20G RAM and a top end SSD).
    Then I found this -

  • Blog Summary Page: Pictures in blog entries are gone

    All of my blog entries on the blog summary page no longer display images set inside the text of an entry. Is this an iWeb 2.0 bug or "feature"?
    This is annoying, because with iWeb 1 I was able to share these pictures in my blog summary page and RSS feed. Now my blog and RSS readers have to click the "read more" link to see any pictures, even though I have set my blog summary length to the total entry.
    This is a serious loss of feature for no good reason, and I hope this is considered a bug and will be fixed soon.

    I was just getting ready to post a similar question when I ran across yours. I've been using Rapid Weaver for my blog and was thinking about switching over to iWeb, but until the pictures start showing up on the summary page (inside the text of an entry), iWeb is utterly non-functional for my purposes.
    The other thing I noticed is that none of the formatting (like bold or italics text) shows up inside the text of an entry on the summary page either.
    I, too, am very interested in whether this is a "bug" or a "feature."
