The font I use on my Iweb is not the font i see on my iphone or pc.

Ok so the font i'm using is Skull Typewriter which i downloaded from a free font website. So I checked out my site on a pc and on my iphone and my font is switched to a common boring font. Why and how do i fix this so that everyone across the globe can see the font I intended to be seen.

It's not about being dangerous, it's about being annoying. If I visit 1,000 websites and each one of those websites requests that I download a different custom font, it's a massive waste of my time and space. Not to mention all the issues that occur with spacing and layouts, Mac/PC cross-compatibility issues, screen resolutions and browser compatibility all working against each other.
If you want something to be viewed consistently in the same font and layout, your only guaranteed choice is Flash, which then presents a whole host of other problems to you.

Some fonts I use for my iWeb-made site are not properly displayed on other computer. How can I sort it out?

Hello everybody.
I have made a website and I have noticed that some fonts and some background shapes are not correctly displayed on other computers (non Mac users).
Could you help me to sort out this problem?
Thanks
Andrea

It's not a browser issue per se either.
You see the Font because the font is your computer. The same font has to be on the computer of your visitor.
iWeb use a substitute font based on a font list it uses. If that substitute font is missing too, the browser chooses a similar font, which is not always the one you want.
You can force your font to display on a PC (but not with Internet Explorer) using a custom stylesheet with an embedded font. See it here :

IWeb is not working for sending podcasts to iTunes, so I need a new web building tool. What is the closest thing to iWeb that I can use, which also supports podcasts?

iWeb is not working for sending podcasts to iTunes, so I need a new web building tool. What is the closest thing to iWeb that I can use, which also supports podcasts?

There's no reason you can't go on using iWeb for this - with iWeb '08 you have to publish to a local folder (i.e. on your Mac) and then upload the contents of the folder (not the folder itself) to your hosting service: and you have to make sure you enter the new URL in the Publish information or the feed won't work properly; this done, an iWeb podcast should work fine.
Of course there is still the problem that iWeb is not supported and sooner or later a system upgrade may break it. You could look at RapidWeaver: you can make podcasts with that, though the last time I looked into that - which was admittedly some time back - I didn't feel it was ideal for this. There are lots of other podcast creation programs or services around. WordPress is OK but it may be a bit of a steep learning curve: Libsyn is an online service that seems to work reliably. Blogger writes messy feeds but does usually work. Podcast Maker used to work well - I used it myself a few years back - but it rather looks as if it's gone moribund and it may not be reliable with Lion/Mountain Lion, so you would want to check into that.

Using 10.6 iweb 3.04 . I make a small change on a page , then choose publish changes , but seems to take hours and seems to want to publish the whole site , not just a small change?

Using 10.6 iweb 3.04 . I make a small change on a page , then choose publish changes , but seems to take hours and seems to want to publish the whole site , not just a small change?

Doing the following wouldn't hurt either:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.

launch iWeb and try again.

Using 'Multisite for iWeb' and the new iWeb 09

I use multisite for iWeb by Clarkwood software to publish multiple sites I have designed with iWeb. Now that the NEW iWEB 09 has the essentially same ability (to upload/manage multiple iWeb sites) I was wondering if anyone else is using 'Multisite for iWeb' and has ran into any problems when upgrading?
Thanks!

With the disastrous introduction of iWeb '08, I rebuilt all my websites on new, blank domain files.
I have 26 sites with each domain file in a separate folder. These are kept in a in a folder - iWeb - in a second dock.
I can launch any site with two mouse clicks - far quicker than launching Multisite or iWebsites.
I have dealt with many instances of domain file corruption in this forum and it doesn't seem to matter which method is used - splitting domain files, iWebsites or Multisite.
I followed the advice of Cyclosaurus and Suzanne of 11 Mystics and have had no problems at all.
I'm not throwing any accusations at any of the above methods of handling multiple domains - I'm just not prepared to risk using them.

Using DISQUS in iWeb

Hello,
*I want to add the Disqus system to my iWeb website in time for the 2nd season of my webradio show called Gatinorama.*
*I opened my account at Disqus and tried a test page (see link at http://www.gatinorama.com/GATINORAMA/%C3%A9pisodes/Entr%C3%A9es/2010/2/1%C3%89pisode_N%C2%B00____%C3%87a_fait_trop_mal_der%C3%AAver.html).*
*I have a few issues:*
*1-When getting the code from Disqus, I am asked to change the "disqus_shortname". I was also given to option to add a "disqus_identifier" and a "disqus_url".*
*I tried adding the code in a snippet and changing all three coding options, but iWeb refused to publish it.*
*If i add only the shortname, then I get the Disqus logo in iWeb and the publication works.*
*2-After publication however, I have the following problems:*
*-The font is something like 'Times New Roman' --not the font I see in other sites.*
*-The snippet seems to be too small for some of the dialog bubbles. For example, go to my page and try the 'like' button. It will be partially invisible. It is not a big deal, but it is more problematic when I am trying to use my administrator options.*
*-Is there a way to get a smaller font size ?*
*Many thanks,*

Coppermine is a gallery based on PHP and SQL. Coppermine is installed separately on the server at GoDaddy or local (MAMP). You can easy install Coppermine at GoDaddy (Go Daddy Hosting Connection) Quick-Install. When it's up and running, you can use an iFrame in a html-snippet, with the url towards the Coppermine Gallery, to show the gallery in iWeb. Almost all photogalleries, (with upload features for your friends), are using a database like MySQL.
The downloaded Coppermine files aren't usable without installing them on a webserver.

How do I reinstall iWeb 3.0.3? I inadvertently opened an html file of my website and tried to open it with iWeb '09. I get a message saying "Can't open file" etc., etc. I've tried reinstalling the updated version. Iweb will not open.

Delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. Then launch iWeb and see if it opens.
What happened was trying to open the html file reset the file path that iWeb saves in its preference file to tell it where to go when you launch iWeb. Deleting the pref file and launching iWeb creates a new file and iWeb looks in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder for the Domain.sites2 file it uses to create your site.

Can I make an aperture slideshow and use it in iweb?

I need to know if I can make an aperture slideshow and use it in iweb (not making it a quicktime movie)? I don't want to use I photo (I know how to make one in Iphoto and put it in Iweb and I dont want to do this). (dont want a .mac gallery either) Please help. thank you!!!

Aperture slide shows are just for review. They can not be output. TBMK
Honestly, you've exhausted most of what iLife can do, and quicktime will probably be your output even if you go to Keynote to make your slide show.
But with Keynote you'll have more control over how the Quicktime is compressed.
Otherwise, you're looking at the expense AND the learning curve of Flash.
Maybe someone else will chime in with a 3rd party solution.

What's a Good FREE website Hosting site that I should use to import iWeb?

The title basically says it all. I want to make a website. back in the day i use to use GeoCities but i dint really like and i still dont like it. I just want to publish my iWeb materials not using .Mac.

Hi Mike
You might find that your ISP offers you a bit of web hosting as part of your package...
As for free, I have looked around and tried a couple, but decided that there is no such thing as a free lunch! I use .Mac!

Font used in masked component is not rendered

Hi,
I developed a formular using components (Button and List),
that formular is masked and all the fonts used used by my
components are not displayed.
When removing the mask, the component's titles are
displayiing properly.
How can I render the font of my components when masked?
Is there a trick?
Thanks

I found the solution :
the form is contained in a clip called "clip", I merely had
to set the cacheAsBitmap value to true :
clip.cacheAsBitmap=true;

Is there a video tutorial for using cyberduck and iweb?

So, is there a video tutorial for using cyberduck and iweb to upload to a website? The written instructions on iweb are not specific enough.

Might be worth posting that in the iWeb forum.

This is the iPhoto 09 forum.
Also, have you tried searching with google?

In trying to transfer iWeb pages (not uploaded) to another computer I went into the library and transferred the domain onto the desktop. Disaster! On opening iWeb all previous (uploaded) sites have disappeared. Help!

In trying to transfer iWeb pages (not uploaded) to another computer I went into the Library and transferred the domain onto the desktop. Disaster! On opening iWeb all previous (uploaded) sites have disappeared. On opening the domain all I can recover is the many component parts, and when unzipped the code. Help! Mike

Code in a domain file - really? That is not possible because the domain.sites file does not contain any html or css code at all - the domain file is your iWeb data file and you won't see any code until you publish your website.
If you can see html code, then you have the wrong file and it is a published version of your site which iWeb can do nothing with - iWeb has no import facility so cannot open any html files.
Go back and ensure that you have the correct domain.sites files that can be found under your User Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites and if you have Mavericks then you need to go to Go and press the alt key to reveal your hidden User Library, so that you can then get to Application Support and then iWeb and then your domain.sites file.
You will also need to go and download either DomainCracker or iWebSwitch which allows you to open individual domain files under Mavericks, because from Lion onwards, you cannot open individual domain files.
Also, it says that you are still using iWeb 08? If this is so, you'll either need to upgrade to iWeb 09 by going to Amazon and purchasing the iLife 09 or 11 boxed set, both of which contain iWeb 09 or you need to switch to newer software that is actively being supported and developed such as EverWeb (http://www.everwebapp.com).

IWeb does not allow me to 'allow comments' via the 'inspector' to my website

iWeb does not allow me to use the inspector ' blog ...allow comments' in order for me to make comments available on my pages on my website at mobileme

Try resetting your Apple ID password that is associated with your iCloud account > Apple - My Apple ID

My iweb would not publish. I made a desktop folder. How do I publish the folder to iweb on mobleme?

My iweb would not publish, I made a desktop folder for my iweb pages. Now how do I publish that to mobile me?

When you have iWeb open, in the navigation column at left, click first on the NAME of your site that you wish to publish -- when you do this, you should have the Site Publishing Settings show up in the main window at right.
Next, from the popup choices next to "Publish to:" select MobileMe.
If this is the first time you are doing this, you will need to type in your MobileMe account (name or email address), and make sure the proper email contact address is input, too.
If your site will be public, you'll all set; if you need to apply privacy settings, you do so here, too.
Now, click on the "Publish Site" button/icon at bottom in the toolbar, or select the same command from the menu bar in iWeb, under File. For the first time, you should choose "Publish Entire Site" (and be patient, it will take a while). Later, when you make changes, use the "Publish Site Changes" (much faster).
When your site is published, iWeb will present you with a sheet window with options to immediate View your site online in your browser, announce it to others (via Mail), or just hit "OK."
Gooooooooo iWeb!

The font I use on my Iweb is not the font i see on my iphone or pc.
