SLOWWWW Iweb website

Is it me or are iWeb websites just much slower than others.... particularly if you want a website with lots of photos.
I built one with many photos but just couldn't get it to download quickly enough.... so I removed all photos and just had one welcome page with only a minimal amount of text.... still markedly slower than most other sites...
I have 8 meg broadband so thats not the issue here.... the problem may seem to be when routing it through a .Mac account, which is what I am doing.
Anyone else experiencing this slowness with iWeb through .Mac?
Regards

I used Dreamweaver too until a few days ago when I switched to use Cyberduck as I discovered how to get it to upload only the files changed since the last time I published...
The problem about Dreamweaver MX (maybe also newer?) is that it doesn't allow to use long file names and crops them adding strange numbers bla bla bla... Also don't use special characters èà'" in page names...
However when you select files it asks you if you want to upload dependent files too => Yes
Sometimes it asks if you want to Overwrite newer files on the server => I used to put there Yes to all
When it seems it is skipping files usually it isn't skipping anything. It may be Dreamweaver already uploaded them previously (say it uploads the html file including dependent files, afterwards the app tells itself 'I have to upload the folder which goes with that page' but it already uploaded the content of the folder while uploading the html file) or they are so small they seem to be skipped
You can also just select pages in the Dreamweaver server/machine up/download browser and upload them, have look at the website I posted previously on this thread to know which files are needed for the navigation bar.
About the friend... He is wrong... I used Dreamweaver successfully for over half an year to upload my iWeb created website... Just took the folder and uploaded... Without moving/changing anything... Thus no problem don't mind about that...

Cédric

My iweb website i posted through Fetch isn't working...

i posted my iweb website using Fetch to my godaddy.com web address, but it's not working. it keeps coming up with the "this page coming soon" page instead. is there a certain folder i'm supposed to post it to? do i need to delete the "this page coming soon" file from the ftp server? i can't figure out what i did wrong.
can anyone help me? my website is www.dianne-spence.com, by the way.
thanks!

I think you uploaded the wrong index.html file. You are saving your sitefolder into the Sites folder on your hard drive, which is not wrong but it is confusing you tremendously.
Here is exactly what I want you to do...
1. On your desktop make a new folder...call it "iWeb FTP stuff"
2. Open up iWeb and select "Publish to Folder".
3. In the field for URL, type in "http://www.dianne-spence.com"
4. Up above in the file window, select the folder on your desktop "iWeb FTP stuff" to save your site into.
5. Click on Go. iWeb will now publish your site to the "iWeb FTP stuff" folder on your desktop. Quit iWeb when it is finished.
6. Now open up the "iWeb FTP stuff" folder on your desktop just to explore... see how there are only two things inside there? An index.html file and then another folder named after your site, right? Perfect. These are the two items to upload to your server. Don't bother with the sitefolder.
7. Now launch Fetch and enter in your GoDaddy account info. Navigate to the "iWeb FTP stuff" folder and select the index.html file and the sitefolder (named after your site). Start the upload.
That should do it. Let me know what happens.

How do I create an email list sign up form for my iWeb website?

Well that's the question - how do I create an email list sign up form for my iWeb website?
Could someone tell me what's the simplest way using iWeb to create an interactive option
for users to enter their email address and the info be forwarded to me so I can add to an
email list?
It would be great if, since I'm using a Mac computer & iWeb, there was a way to have the
submitted emails automatically added to a group in my Mac Addressbook.
I got this MacBook Pro in Sept 2010 so I believe that's iWeb '08 I'm using.
Anyway I'm thinking there should be a way to do this with some system involving an HTMK
Widget and an email account.
By the way this is for hosting through a 'real server', not MobileMe (which I plan to get later
when I can afford it).
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Website forms require some code in a snippet and a formmail.php script on the server to process the form and send the info to the required email address. You can do all this when you switch to a "real" server.
In the meantime you can use a form or marketing service or, better still, an application like MailShoot which generates the form, handles the database and sends out the bulk emails.

Can you export a published iweb website back into iweb?

I have created my own iweb website which I uploaded to my own domain using transmit. Since creating the page, I had a had drive die on me that I can't access and don't have my site in iweb to edit as I have resorted to a back up made just before I made the site. So I want to know if I can access the site from Transmit and put it back into iweb for editing the site?
This is my first site I have made entirely on my own and have been learning as I go. If I can't access the site as I made it, I may try accessing the files from Transmit one by one to re-make the pages.
Any help on this will me very much appreciated.

Sure, you could syncronize in the opposite direction to get your html files and images, etc back on your Mac. But you will have to drag and drop, copy and paste to get that content back into iWeb.
Your iWeb data is stored, not in your actual html files, but in a file called Domain.sites which is stored in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. If you want to work on your site on another computer, copy this file to a thumb drive to move it around.
You should backup this file whenever you make big changes to your site, because if it gets lost or damaged, you will have to start all over. Sadly, many many people learn this the hard way. Unfortunately, looks like you have too.
I have an Automator app on my site that will help you backup your Domain file(s). Click here to download it or visit http://iweb.varkgirl.com for more info. The app will make a .zip file of your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and save it to a location of your choosing.
Then check out Mozy for an online place to store your backups - I just found this and it seems great. They just recently released a Mac friendly version of their app - it automates the upload and encryption. You select the files you want to backup and it does the rest. You can set it to upload automatically after so many minutes of inactivity or once a day. It does it all in the background so you don't have to worry about it! 2GB of storage are free - plenty of room for most people's iWeb Domain.sites backups!

Having a hard time selecting an iWeb website host

Now that MobileMe is gone and my website is down (yes, i missed the memo)... im researching hosts and having a hard time choosing.
I would like unlimited storage as I have a lot of photos on my site.
RAGE sounds good but seems pricey.
I'm looking for a company familiar w/iWeb so that if there are any issues I have some assistance.
I have searched the community and googled and keep getting just a few answers. Nothing that really gives me a solid sense about the companies. And it seems that RAGE does a lot of self promotion posing as customer which seems a bit sketchy. I might be completely wrong but thats the sense Im getting from the videos and results I'm finding.
Is there a site that gives solid reviews of the web hosting companies?
Where have people here moved their iWeb website to?
Thanks

I have been using IX Webhosting for about 4 years with little to no problems "usually the problem was something I did" and they have been quick to solve any issue I have come across.
As far as the unlimited is concerned they just do not set any pre-determined space or bandwidth.
I have several websites hosted on my hosting plan ( I am currently using the expert plan ) and haven't ran into any space issues here is my bandwidth (traffic) & disk space usage.

Please Help Publishing iWeb Website With ... ??

Please help. This is so unfamiliar!
I am trying to publish my iWeb website not using MobileMe (don't really know what it is).
I need to purchase my domain name but don't know of a reputable company that will give me a web address that just ends in .com without other stuff behind it.
Also, someone said I need a "Bridge" that is Fetch??
Please advise if anyone can! Thank you.
Happy Holidays!

Okay so I have purchased the Hostexcellence basic plan, my domainname and webhosting, and $6 extra for personal information privacy, which came to about $64. At first they kept saying the domainname was wrong or something, until I finally wrote it in in all lowercase lettering, which solved the issue. They said they would connect within 12 hours in their confirmation email... The webpage message said:
ACCOUNT CREATION DELAY
We are sorry for the delay with creating your account. Our systems encountered a small problem and could not automatically create your account. You will receive the account access information within the next 12 hours. Thank you for your patience.
You have chosen to purchase the following service(s):
Domain Registration: lightkeysandcodes.com , Paid Domain Registration, 1 year(s)
Hosting Plan: Basic Plan, Quarterly
There was a problem creating your order. One of our support specialists is already working on processing your order, but if you would like a status update, please feel free to contact our support department.
Wyodor mentioned starting with my own ISP. What info do I need from them? (we have Verizon).
I am now looking over the link Old Toad provided. Appreciate that.
Do i now start with Fetch or one.com to store my pages/files on?
Thanking you all!

IWeb website security question

If I host a iWeb website on my own server, how secure is that?-> what I mean is can someone only access files on the site or can they access the whole Server (running 10.5.6, not OS X server)?

Don't know how to get my iWeb websites to work in Mavericks. Need help!

Trying to put my iWeb websites back on all my user accounts in their iweb folders from dvds' since i upgraded to mavericks. iweb keeps trying to open a brand new iWeb website. I thought if I just put them back in their iweb folders under each user account like I did on snow leopard they would just load when I clicked on the iweb icon but they do not. Please help!

To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible in Lion or Mt. Lion enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Optionsmenu to bring the this window:

Visitors can't subscribe to my iWeb website blog. All ideas are welcome.

Hello, good people. OK. I've figured out the PDF issue. Thanks. Visitors to my iWeb website, nancysolomon.net, cannot subscribe to my blog. It's not that what I have to say is so important, but I would like to offer that option. Because they can't subscribe, I've removed the button for now. I have to get this puppy launched. My target is this Tuesday. I can add the subscribe button later -- if I can ever get it to work. When people try to subscribe, they are sent to my home page. I looked up the issue in Help, but I can't understand the page. I'm going to the Apple store AGAIN tomorrow -- I have one other tweak I need help with. As lovely as they are there, they were unable to help me with the RSS subscription issue last week. I publish to MobileMe, but it's forwarded to or by register.com. One of the Apple guys told me to have register.com remove the URL mask, but that didn't help. In fact, it created a different problem. The mask is back on. It may be that people can't subscribe to my blog. I can live with that. However, your observations and advice are appreciated.

Well, the commas and spaces are not meant to be taken literally, but are meant to represent what you might find on your host's website under the DNS settings (Domain Name System). Every host is different so the way in which you set up the CNAME forwarding will also be different, but it is just meant to be an example.
When you log into MobileMe and enter your domain name under the Personal Domain Name settings, there is an explanation there about how to set up CNAME forwarding.
CNAME simply stands for Canonical Name Records and is an alias. Alias records create an association between another domain or sub domain, so when you set up a CNAME record at your host, then you are creating an association between your domain name and the name of your iWeb site which has been published to MobileMe. Hence, why you need to enter web.me.com to create the association between the two names - your domain name and web.me.com.
Every domain host is different so you need to go to yours and check out the DNS settings to see what you need to do to set it up.
In the long run, this should be better than masked web forwarding.

How do I embed .txt into my iWeb website?

How to I get my iWeb website online without a domain name and using iCloud or .mac....

I want to publish my iweb website online. Since we no longer have mobile me do I use icloud, and if so how do I do it?

No, you don't and you can't do it because iCloud does not offer any web hosting facilities, so if you want to publish your website online, you'll need to go to a web host and register a domain name along with a web hosting account. Take a look at http://www.godaddy.com and http://www.hostexcellence.com. Both these companies offer domain name registration as well as hosting accounts and there are lots of others too.

Iweb website wont go on domain name

i purchased a domain name from network solutions, and made my iweb website, which i will be hosting with mpbileme.
i then changed the CNAME (alias) to web.me.com on www, and followed all the instructions, howevermy website has not been uploaded to the domain name i paid for. It is, however on my mobileme web adress.
any help please?
what am i doing wrong?

I am confused too. The question I want to ask is:
1. Why when you have uploaded your website directly to your server using ftp are you also publishing to MobileMe and using CNAME forwarding too? You do not need to do both.
2. Also, as you have already found out, your blog comments will not work and neither will the MME page counter if you upload to an external server. However, there are third party workarounds such as http://www.hitcounter.com and also using a Wordpress blog instead and linking to it from your site. If you have hosting at Network Solutions, then you can probably install Wordpress directly and can set up your blog like this.
3. When I used MobileMe and used CNAME what I had to do at my domain name registrar was delete the A records completely. There are normally two A records, one with www, A record and then the IP address that points to your server and then @, A record with an IP address that points to your server. What I had to do was to delete the A records completely and then enter www, then CNAME from a drop down box and web.me.com into where the IP address was. I then entered @, CNAME from the drop down menu and then web.me.com where the IP address was. Try and have a look and see if you can do this.
http://domain.com is your actual domain name with http://www.domain.com being a sub domain. That is why you need to enter both www and @ when you set up a new CNAME - www represents the sub domain with @ being the shortened domain name itself.
If Network Solutions have told you to enter web instead of www, then try this, but you still need to alter the IP address that is there and enter web.me.com in its place or the domain name will not be forwarded.
You also need to do the same for the @, so do this and then forward this to web.me.com.
Your problem with using CNAME is that you have a conflict in that you have uploaded your site to the server as well as trying to forward your domain name to MobileMe - you can use one or the other but you can't have both. Preferably, I would delete your site from your server and just use CNAME forwarding to MobileMe if you want the Blog and hit counter to work correctly.

Can I merge various iWeb websites into one ?

I have around 15 iWeb websites each with varying numbers of webpages. I would like to organize them in one website. Is there a way I can take the websites and make them into pages and subpages of a single website?

If your Sites are in the same domain file, then you can drag the pages from one site to the other.
If you have separate domain files, then you have to merge the domain files first with iWebSites.
http://www.wyodor.net/_Demo/Aptana/iWebSites.html
iWeb has no subpages and you don't make them into pages.
To avoid navigation clutter, you can hide pages from the navigation bar.

What browser are you talking about? If Safari, is it the same with the other major browsers (Firefox and Opera)? Could you provide the url of an example?
