Success designing on iweb and posting to yahoo server

Just wanted folks to know that although a bit complicated I had success designing a site on iweb and uploading using Fetch to the yahoo server. It can be done
The site is www.eugeniagarrity.com

I did too, but what a pain! iWeb likes to create .png files, and no matter what you name those images the link looks like 'my%20photo.png' and the file name looks like 'my phot.png' when the file name is 'my_photo.jpeg'. iWeb insists on changing anything like that to a spaced name which Yahoo won't allow. So you have to manually edit the name everywhere. This also happened with my podcast, after renaming using the _ it stuck. Don't know why the images are screwy though.
I think I've found an actual bug? I have renamed the file numerous times and re-inserted it into iWeb, yet in the inspector the file name is still the old one. I can get the cursor into the file name field but cannot type anything.

I have a web site built by Yahoo Web Site Builder which does not have a Mac version, is there any compatability between Iweb and the old Yahoo program?

I have a web site built by Yahoo Web Site Builder which does not have a Mac version, is there any compatability between Iweb and the old Yahoo program? If not how do I clear off the old site so as to re publish with Iweb.

iWeb cannot import published files so you would need rebuild the site.
Yahoo hosting is notoriously poor and their tech support is awful. I would suggest you look for new hosting and start afresh. Some pointers for choosing hosting...

If you do choose to go this route, transfer your domain name registration away from Yahoo to your new host.

How do I delete sites created with iWeb and posted with .mac after a format

I am confused about how to delete a couple of sites that I created with iWeb and posted with my .mac after I did a format reload?
I have tried everything. The original files are not on my MacBook Pro because of the format.
I also see them in my idisc, but I is my understanding that on my MacBook Pro that I can delete the files, but they are hosted online. On the online idisk I cannot delete them because there is no option. Please help!!!

Using the file menu in Finder:
Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/YourSitesAreHere
Highlight selected files and Command/Delete. You will receive a drop down asking you if you are sure; click OK and the files/sites will be deleted immediately from the iDisk.

IWeb and posting movies for download

I've built a website to showcase a short film trailer I made. While Mac users generally have no problem viewing the basic iWeb movie page with the QT viewer in the browser, the occasional PC ludite has problems. I guess there are a lot of computers and users out there who have never downloaded QT (or updated) onto there PC's. To solve this problem I created a .WMV version of the same movie (with the program CLEANER) and posted it as a link in the site. I intended for the file to be completely downloaded to the users computer upon clicking the link but instead find that while some computers download, others open the file and stream it directly into Windows Media player. This process is awful since the file first buffers, then starts playing in a choppy fashion while the remaining file completes the transfer of data. Any ideas how I can create a glitch free work flow so that anyone, on any computer platform, upon clicking my hyperlink will simply download the 18MB file to their desktop where they can then view the file as a separate, non-streaming, movie? Or any solutions as to how to create a non-choppy streaming .wmv file. Even though we shun those users, sometimes we still need to reach people on PCs for business. It's a bummer but a reality as well.
Thanks

Cleaner works great here is what I did and a modifcation (suggestion for download)
You need to make a non-movie page, any will do. Start your movie and take a photo of it with shift-apple-4. This will give you an image of the movie and also the Windows Media Player frame. Place this image on your page, give it a title etc and make sure the image is selected. Using the inspector, chose Link to File. When you do thius, navigate to the wmv file that corresponds. When you upload your site, that file will be stored along with it and when the link is hit the wmv movie will launch. ~NOW~ for the PC users that will give you what it sounds like you already have done. WHAT I DID was just add a link "To download movie right click and "save target as" when they "right click on the "frame" or the link they can download it as opposed to viewing it in the media player
Hope that helps!

Design in Iweb, post to current blogger address

I have had a blogger address for years and do not want to change address.
But now have a Mac and would like to design in Iweb, to be posted on blogger site.
Want comments available. Can no longer get MobileMe account.
Can I do this and how please?
IWeb is much easier to work with my photos, and I enjoy the freedom it allows.
I am pretty computer ignorant, so cannot do the HTML myself.
thank you!

I created a page, but when I go to publish, iWeb is greyed out and I cannot choose to publish there under applications. So I published to desktop, but when I go to try to visit, it says the address does not exist.
Safari can’t find the server.
Safari can’t open the page “http://home.cdhoelscher.net/home.cdhoelscher.net/index.html” because Safari can’t find the server “home.cdhoelscher.net”
I see ur pages, just not having luck on my own.
Thanks

IWeb and Yahoo Small Business

So I reserved my domain name and paid for yahoo small business web hosting. I created my web pages using iWeb. I used file>publish and loaded the pages into a file on my desk top. That's where I'm stuck. I had been working on two separate sites. Both Site and Site1 were added as FOLDERS in my designated desktop folder. I then went to Yahoo Small business. It asked me to upload FILES. There are several files for each folder. Do I upload each one? Am I missing a step completely? Thanks.

It asks me for my server.
Yahoo provides you the info to put in the ftp forms: server, username, password, directory.
In terms of the previous reply in addition to the index file there are a number of other .html files and associated folders. Upload all of these??
You upload the folder that contains all of these, plus the index.html file which is outside that folder. The folder has the name you gave your site inside the iWeb app. So you really up load two items.

Created site in iweb 08 and posted to netfirms... the pages are all loaded up but there is no nav bar, it comes up on each page as a small black dot. How do I get the nav bar to load up and show?

I created site in iweb 08 and posted to netfirms... the pages are all loaded up but there is no nav bar, where the nav bar should be is only a small black dot on each page. How do I get the nav bar to load up and show? It was a disaster loading up my site as it changed the case of the letters and at first no pages were seen, so I had to go through and change the letters that were supposed to be cap, back to cap in every file. I don't know if this has something to do with it or not. The tech support doesn't have an answer. Please let me know if you have any ideas and solutions. Thanks bunches!

I've lost iWeb and thus my web design. I must start from scratch. Should I reinstall iWeb 09 and use that, or is there a better way?

I've lost iWeb and thus my web design. I must start from scratch. Should I reinstall iWeb 09 and use that, or is there a better way?

The file you really need is named Domain.sites2 which resides in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb foldler. It's independent from the iWeb application. If it's not in there do you have a backup of your hard drive from an earlier time?
Resinatll iWeb 3 from the iLife 09 disk or wherever you got it from originally and then try what's described below:
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 press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
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.

Iweb 09 and posting to your own domain name -- how does it work?

Dear Apple geniuses,
What I always hated about iWeb was the long web address -- I am thinking about buying 09 and a domain name so I can have a simple address. (I am on iLife 07 now) But I am not exactly sure how it works can you help me!
Question 1. Once I get the domain name for example, www.christine.com, and post my iwebsite to it will people be see it just by typing in www.christine.com? (I won't have to add anything else to the address).
Question 2. Can you suggest a domain registar that works well with iWeb (I read something about needing one that will allow a setting for CNAME).
Question 3. Will this website come up in google searches?
Question 4. I plan to use the widget to have youtube video on my website because I want the video to play quickly so people don't have to wait for it to load-- will all of that work if I post to my own domain?
Thanks and sorry for my computer stupidity!

1. No, you don't have to add anything to the address and people should be able to get to your site by either typing in http://yourdomain.com or http://www.yourdomain.com.
2. GoDaddy are very good and I have a domain name registered with them. Also, Network Solutions too. You only need a registrar/host that provides CNAME forwarding if you are intending to purchase a MobileMe account and publish your site to MME. However, you do not need to do this to be able to use iWeb. You can purchase your domain name, plus a Linux hosting option from GoDaddy and you can then upload your site directly to your hosting space using a dedicated ftp program such as Cyberduck.
3. Your site will come up in Google Searches yes, but you need to notify them that your site exists first.
4. Posting YouTube on your site will work if you publish to MobileMe and upload directly to your server. If you want quick loading, however, I would suggest that you upload directly to your server as at times MobileMe is notoriously slow. I upload directly, as I have business site and I wanted faster loading speeds that MME could not give me.
Your version of iLife will be 06 and not 07 - as far as I am aware that does not exist, it went 06, 08 and now 09.

It's often asked and answered.
Search this forum for similar disasters : lost iweb file
The answer usually is No. You'll have to start from scratch. Unless you have a backup.

No.

Would like to re-create the webpages created with iWeb to iCloud and post

Would like to re-create the webpages created with iWeb to iCloud and post to the internet

Unfortunately, iCloud does not support the hosting of webpages. You will need to find a 3rd party web host in order to publish your web sites.
Depending on the version of iWeb you are using you have a couple of publishing options:
iWeb '09 (3.0.4) you can publish to an FTP Server or a local folder. ( With the built in FTP in iWeb you will end up with an address like "www.YourDomain.com/sitename/Home.html )
iWeb '08 you can publish your website to a local folder. Then upload to your host with an FTP application like CyberDuck
I have been using IX Webhosting for several 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. The have plans that start at $3.95 a mo (USD) and their customer service is top notch.

How do I link an iWeb site to a Yahoo store?

Hi all,
I designed an iWeb site for a friend, she is hosted at Yahoo Small Business. She also wanted to use Yahoo ecommerce does anyone know how to link an iWeb site to a Yahoo store? Yahoo uses store tags which they tell me can't be used in iWeb I was hoping to just link the ecommerce store I created in Yahoo to a store link in iWeb like a separate page. But I don't know how or if that will work. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Marilyn

Hi,
LOL, you are absolutely correct I am moaning and groaning and you are correct about the tech suport the reason I am so frustrated.
The website is www.papeteriecollections.com (iWeb)
The Yahoo store is store.papeteriecollections.com
The yahoo store is set up to the point of store tags. I was able to link the store to the site itself but not the items in the store to the items in the website. That's where the tags come in. From yahoo I copied their code from the item and then pasted it into iWeb. The link worked from iWeb back to the yahoo store, but not after publishing it. So then I tried the (html snippet) in iWeb and pasted the store tag code in there at the bottom of one of the items in my site, and order button appeared. (good thing) but it didn't work either. please see below:
I hope this makes better sense and I apologize for being a baby!
Thanks

Issues with loading my iWeb site on my Yahoo hosted ftp

I consider myself pretty good at troubleshooting applications on mac but iweb 09 has really stumped me. My gut feeling tells me its more of a Yahoo site ftp issue but not sure. I'm not sure if anyone else has had this issue with Yahoo web hosting but after I have built my site on iWeb and hit upload it says successful. I go to my website and nothing is there at all. Nothing except an error. This is the site im building for: http://www.peterherro.com/ As you can see there is nothing. Yet I have tried uploaded via FTP in the settings. i even tried using mobileme and having it redirect from the site to the mobileme hosted site. iWeb always thinks it did it's job when i upload but it isn't doing a thing. If i go to my mobile me it shows that my site is uploaded but if i click the clink i get an error. this is the link. http://www.peterherro.com/Main/Welcome.html
I hope this makes sense and I am hoping someone might be able to give me some insight. I hate feeling defeated by this but i am at a lose. Thanks in advance!

Cany you tell iweb to redirect people from your domain name (EX: www.PeterHerro.com) to http://web.me.com/PeterHerro ?
You have it backwards. You tell the place where your personal domain name (Yahoo?) to point that name at your site hosted on iWeb. You can do this via url forwarding, where you just type http://web.me.com/PeterHerro into a form. Or you can do it via CNAME, where you set the www CNAME to web.me.com (plus put your personal name in the MobileMe account settings).

Suggest alternatives to IWeb and GoDaddy?

Hello - As we are all aware there are limits to IWeb and GoDaddy. I'm a Macer in a PC world (this is changing but slowly). My PC pals have a difficult time viewing my website/blog and I want to upgrade my site so my pictures can load and fonts translate to PC. I do not sell anything it's just a site for friends and family but I would like to upgrade the look, enhance the capability with PC and Google and am willing to spend a bit of cash. I've heard of Dreamscape? Does anyone have other suggestions? I do the complete ease of use of IWeb despite some of the drawbacks. Thank you. Tami

Hi Tamis,
You have asked several questions in your post. I will try to answer each one. I can see from your website that you like the free form style possible with iWeb. I have to caution you that achieving maximum compatibility with all browsers, especially Internet Explorer comes with a price.
There are a limited number of fonts that are considered web safe. A quick search in wiki will give you the list. Using any other fonts will risk problems with certain browsers. If you want to use a special font in a limited way, for example a title, convert it to an image first then place it into iWeb. The price you will pay if you over use this method is a much slower download time for your pages.
iWeb uses a number of features such as shadows and reflections that can cause problems with certain bowsers. I have found that it is best to prep your images to the display size needed and save them as jpegs. The results are quite predictable with this approach.
Choosing an alternative to iWeb will require a change in your approach to web design, a trade off you may not be willing to make. To get a feel for an alternative check out Rapid Weaver. I have used both and they each have their pros and cons. Rapid Weaver will force you into a template design. If you decide on Rapid Weaver there are two plugins that add some of the simplicity of iWeb, Stacks & Blocks. You probably will only need one of these.
Here is a website created with Rapid Weaver, www.quilts4u.com
Good luck with your website
