The cool little features in iWeb templates

Hi all,
I was just wondering how to get the cool little add-ons that the iWeb templates have on my site?
For example, iWeb has scissors on one of the sites. Their are also others like.. doodles, post its, "hello, my name is" I know I can simply cut and paste, but I'm looking for additional add ons. is there a stock pile of these somewhere on the web or maybe on my mac?

You can add scrolling banner text, blinking text, mouse rollover, Fancy Zoom, Show and Hide text and many other enhancements.

Can I modify the blog page in an iWeb template?

Specifically, iWeb has it set up to have a "teaser page" for blogs, but the teasers are the entire blog entries, minus the pictures or media I put in the blog. I'd like for those teasers to be much, much shorter so that people are more likely to click on the actual blog entry.
Any help is appreciated. Cheers - Rachel

While on your main blog page, click on the RSS tab in Inspector. From there, choose Blog. You can then adjust the excerpt length as well as the number of excerpts to display.

Where are the cool Nano features!?

What features besides audio, file storage and basic alarm clock/watch are available on a Nano? I really want a 6th gen on my wrist to tell me upcoming calendar entries, missed calls, caller ID for starters (imagine the apps!).
Any tips?
Thanks guys!
Bill

Well, it does not do quite as much as you hope it would. It has:
Video playback
Podcast playback
Music playback
Clock
TImer
Stopwatch
Nike+ Fitness
Radio (via an FM tuner)
If you want calendar entries, call info, etc. get something like the Pebble smartwatch
since it is the same price as a Nano but is a dedicated wrist device.
EDIT: The Pebble also can download apps, play music, function as a watch, etc. as well

Does and one know if you can change the navigation menu at the top of the iWeb template pages?

Does and one know if you can change the navigation menu at the top of the iWeb template pages? I need to make the background a little wider.

It depends on which template you use.
You can also hide the default navigation and build your own which allows more freedom of design and is better for search engine optimization...

Make sure you use web-safe fonts in your navigation...

Cool features in iWeb NO LONGER work in IE8 - PLEASE ADVISE!

There are so many things broken in IE8 now with my iWeb sites I hardly know where to begin...and I am totally freaked out about this error below. It occurs whenever one trys a photo or blog page on the mobileme servers, and then tries to see it using IE8. FF works fine. My clients are freakin, and I could have sworn this used to work...so either MS or Apple changed something in an update:(?

Uh, not helpful, but I agree with u on getting professional help. Look, are you saying that features that iWeb crams onto a webpage and can't be displayed by IE, which has a major percentage of browser marketshare, is OK with u ?!?
Other items not working: png transparency, a well known problem. Picture frames, probably related to previous. COuntdown widget is also throwing an error and not displaying...the list goes on...
But perhaps there is just a problem with the script:

It's not the hosting server, as I tried putting this iweb site on a "normal" web server, and I get the same error. So now what?
thx!

How come my iweb template is half the size of my web page is their any way to expand it.

How come my iweb template is half the size of my web page is their any way to expand it.

The Inspector is the blue circle with the I.
The Inspector has 10 icons.
Each icon represents a purpose :
Adding hyperlinks,
Changing the textformatting,
Changing the width and height of objects,
Changing the page settings,
If you're familiar with a wordprocessor you will recognize most icons.
There's also an often ignored word in the menu bar : HELP
See if that helps you any further.

Can iWeb templates be modified?

I last used iWeb to set up a travelogue in 2006. I have 3.0.4 ('09, I think).
I may be remembering why I didn't use a template before--because I wanted something I couldn't get with the templates.
Am I correct that I can't change a background or text color, or choose to center text which is flush left on an iWeb template?
Karen

Jeff, you're a prince. I've printed out your last posts & dragged & dropped the 2 samples to my desktop, from which I can then use them I was able to do the web browser background instructions. It worked! Cool.
I'm sure this will turn out to be embarrassingly self-evident, but how did you 'copy the page background image and paste it into preview'? It has no 'handles' allowing it to be selected. Nor could I locate 'Preview'.
Now trying the paper maneuver you explained, I'm a bit stuck. What do I select for 'Page Background? I now have removed the Formal Theme text boxes, have changed footer pixels to '0', and have a horizontal rectangle of the ivory paper there. How do I make it disappear so I can then replace it with the size-able box as you describe?
By the way, I noticed right off in your video was how you changed the width of the page immediately. How did you choose 900--and I forget the vertical pixels you chose but will check again. I hate how small the page content size is. Is there a 'standard' size these days for website width & height?
Again, thanks.
Karen

Free iWeb Templates and other goodies?

Hey, it's me again!
I was looking for FREE iWeb templates but I haven't been able to any find free ones or great ones.
Do you know where to get them?
I was also looking for other free goodies that are on iweb, such as little doodles and pieces of paper. You know what I mean?
Do you know where to get them?
You're always appreciated :)

Always nice to hear from you.
As you, I did an extensive search (3 months ago) on Google and Ask, only to find out that there is a poor choice of great / free templates for iWeb '08.
There are 1 or 2 "user understandable" manuals on how to make your own templates, but I found it less time consuming to choose the "blank" template from a theme, adapt it myself with the tools provided in iWeb and then copy this "custom adapted" template.
I know this is not the answer you are looking for but it is the best I can provide.
Hopefully, someone else has found the gold somewhere...
Kind regards,
Leo

IWeb templates & modifications

I just installed iLife 08 on my iBook. There were some features that I really liked and wanted. But, it looks like you don't have as much freedom of design as in the previous version. In IWeb 06 you could set gradients, pictures, etc. as background on your pages. You could also resize the page. I don't see that in ILife 08. Am I missing something?

How did you get your site to fit in the rectangle shape like that? I'm trying to figure out how to customize my pages so I can have that kind of look, only more grunge.

Where are the cool extras?

I've been learning how to use the graph capability in Illustrator CC and the help references the Cool Extras that should be in the program folder under "Cool Extras". Well I find the Cool Extras folder and all it has there is templates. It doesn't have the graph designs. Does anyone know how to get those?

Well, that's too bad. It was a good way of getting started when you're unfamiliar with a particular feature.
They should update their current help documentation because it still makes reference to the extras.
Thanks.

How do I use the address book feature which allows you to connect your contacts to their social networking profiles? (in Lion)

When I look up the 250+ new features of Mac OSX Lion, under address book, there's a new feature that interests me.
"Address Book lets you quickly access the social network profiles for your contacts, including Facebook. Press and hold an email address to select the appropriate profile."
Somehow I can't get it to work. What do I do?

Make sure it's on the Template (see the entry for Twitter):
Then update the contact with the relevant info.
For Twitter you can then click and hold the Twitter tag to either View Profile or Send Tweet.

How to change the cooler on Satellite M30-344?

Hello,
I´m pretty lucky with my Satellite M30-344 but since 2 months the cooler starts to get louder every day. Is it possible to change the cooler on my own and how expansive is the original cooler? Do you know something like a tutorial for the changing process?
Originally 2 256MB Ram pieces is installed. Now I´m thinking about a bigger RAM piece. As far as I know the are only 2 slots for the RAM or am I wrong. Is it possible to install two 1GB RAM pieces???
Thank you for your help!

Hi
The replacement of the internal devices is not easy and a little bit risky.
I would not recommend replacing the cooling module yourself.
You could damage something on the board and as you know the motherboard is a one of the expensive parts of the notebook. The manuals are not published because such documents are only for the technicians and service partners.
Therefore I think you should ask a service partner for the help because these guys have more experience in such procedures.
I found a online site with the memory modules for Satellite M30-344
http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=6958&ft=m&st=3
It says that its possible to update the memory to max 2GB. Therefore I Think its possible to use 2x 1024MB module.

Is there a way to "fully" disable, or delete, the passcode lock feature on an iPad?

i am incharge of 50 iPads for ur schol district and have been creating profiles and enabling restrictions on the iPads. today i came across the 'passcode lock' feature, that i am sure all are fimiliar with. if i set that with a code, any student can use that same code to reset the passcode to anythng their little hearts desire. ca this feature be removed from the iPads .. or at least hidden?
Michael

Sorry but no, there is not, at least none I've heard of. There are several such issues that complicate the use of iPads in classrooms. Most school districts I've read comments from here seem to just have gotten used to the idea that they'll have to reconfigure the iPads from time to time.

Is it possible to widen the page view when drafting iWeb pages?

I'm drafting web pages via iWeb and figured out how to make the page content wider (in page layout/content width), but would like to be able to have a view of the entire page while I'm rearranging the text and images on the webpage. I cannot figure out how to be able to view the page without having to scroll left and right. Is it possible to see what the finished product looks like in its entirety before and/or after publishing to iWeb???

Seems like my iMac with a 21.5 monitor should do the job. The webpages look great online, but how can I widen my draft-view so I don't have to keep guessing as to alignment of my text and images? Please advise.
I'm not really understanding your question since the way things look in iWeb is pretty much the way they look online.
In what way do your iWeb pages not look like what you see online?
This is really a feature in iWeb (and one which costs iWeb excessive code if anything): to be able to provide a WYSIWYG canvas on which to build.

Most needed new features in iWeb

I have been using iWeb since the beginning of it and I really didn't know a whole lot about SEO back then, etc...But now I do...I also use Rapidweaver and Wordpress.
Knowing that, going back to iWeb, it can still make some very original and nice looking sites if you start from a blank page, one can basically do what you want. It does its own graphic design, very easy drag and drop.
However since people LOVE blogs and make them alot, Rapidweaver and Wordpress are much better for search engines and SEO. Even sites like Blogger and Posterous are better blogging platforms than iWeb...that being said, iWeb blogs can be very nice looking. But are almost invisable to be indexed.
Heres why...first, the main blog page in iWeb (the summary part) is in javascript _*without .xml text*_.
This results in a search engine not seeing the actual blog entrees and therefore cannot follow the link.
The actual page where the post is written is still in java but the text is in .xml, which is readable to search engines. One has to a massive work around to get this done for indexing.
There are no categories, no tags, _no readable archives._ It is java also. What is readable by search engines is your RSS feed. Thats good.
Back to my title of the topic, what is needed in iWeb for its blog is catagories, tags, indexing archive links.
What is also needed is to re-do the html snippets to *not be an iframe*. Its not really a huge deal but has an interesting effect when building sites....I have two examples here for you.
First I built a little search engine in iWeb and also added it to a test site in Rapidweaver for the same search which Rapiweaver site is published on Mobileme.
When I add the code in iWeb I have to make the snippet window huge in order for the search to work on a published site, or you will just see the search box.
In Rapidweaver or Wordpress I add the code and thats it...when a search is typed in the box the results window automatically expand or the webpage itself expands to accompany the results. It is not an iframe like iWeb.
Also needed in iWeb are an adjustment in its URL publishing without having to go to an alternative FTP client, which takes a bit of extra time, but works. But for some can be confusing as apposed to just clicking the publish button.
I just love iWeb...but wish it would get its internet standards up...hope its not too late.

this is incorrect, iweb has blog-main.xml for blog summary page, ajax widget fetch data from the xml files and populate summary page.
The actual page where the post is written is still in java but the text is in .xml
this is incorrect, the text is on the entry page.
Back to my title of the topic, what is needed in iWeb for its blog is catagories, tags, indexing archive links.
that can be done, but you need to know iweb widgets, google 'iweb blog tag cloud' and look for my blog.
as for indexing, submit a site map to search engines and include iweb blog's xml files and your blog will be indexed.
What is also needed is to re-do the html snippets to not be an iframe
that can be done too, here is my example:
