Transfer Blogger blog to iWeb/MobileMe

I want to move a blog from Blogger to iWeb and then publish it to MobileMe. The blog is currently published to my own domain and now I want to move the whole thing. How do I do that?

Blogger has various features you cannot duplicate in iWeb's blog. I would recommend you keep it and either link to it from an iWeb site or use an iframe on an iWeb page to incorporate it.

Moving existing Blogger blog into iWeb site

I have an existing web site and am recreating it using iWeb
This includes a blog of some years which is created via Blogger.
Can I import my blogger blog (or the code from it) into an iWeb page so that it has the same look and feel?
I'd also wnat to ensure that whenever I publish changes to the iWeb site that it does not overwrite the Blogger Blog page - is this possible?

Keith ~ iWeb doesn't have an import capability. And even if it did, I would recommend you stick with Blogger — that way you'll avoid recurring problems such as these:
Changed theme on main blog page, lost all entries
Lost two years of blog comments
...iWeb's blog is simply not a robust one — see the following thread started by a concerned person which has a satisfactory ending with a non-iWeb blog:

Publishing Blogger blog to iWeb site

I just set up a blog at Blogger.com and I want to publish it on my website that's hosted on the .Mac server. Blogger.com asks for the settings like the FTP address, blog url, ftp path, blog filename, feed filename, FTP user name, and FTP password. I'm not sure what these settings are, and I haven't created a page or file for this Blogger.com blog yet. How do I do that? Do I use iWeb to do that? My website was created and published through iWeb '08 and uses my domain name of www.felacofamily.com. Thanks for your help!

Hi there Krista, hopefully this will help you some. I will list my settings for my domain "www.theblackhole.se" below. However, i do not use .Mac rather an external webhotel/host.
FTP server - ftp.theblackhole.se (the FTP servername my webhost gave my account)
Blog URL - http://www.theblackhole.se (your domain basically)
FTP Path - left it blank
Blog filename - blog.html (I am pretty sure this is what contols what your final URL will be for your Blog as my Blog URL ended up as being blog.theblackhole.se with these settings - just experiment)
Feed filename - atom.xml (i think this is generated automatically, otherwise just enter what mine says)
FTP username - In my case this is whatever i use to log in at my webhost controlpanel, my username that is.
FTP password - see above.
Perhaps you should contact Apple regarding this, or switch to another host then .Mac
Good luck, let us know how it turned out!

You haven't a problem. You simply did not read the iWeb Help :

How to put some iWeb pages onto my Blogger blog?

I am using iWeb '09, 3.0.3 (501)
There are two pages on my website that I would like to put on my personal Blogger blog. The iWeb page has a hyperlink that opens up another page. That first page also has some lightning flashes behind the old haunted mansion. (The URL links to those pages are below.)
I would like to somehow get the HTML of the first page and the page that comes up when a person clicks "Enter."
*Please, how can I do it? Theoretically, I see that if I can get the page into HTML and then paste that HTML into a Blogger page, then I can get the page. But how do I get the HTML from my iWeb page?*
The page is here: http://web.mac.com/lorna6/Websiteof_Lorna_Alexander/TheyreAlive.html
The page that comes up when a viewer clicks the "Enter" link is here: http://web.mac.com/lorna6/Websiteof_Lorna_Alexander/OldMansion.html
Also, the link on the Index page is here: http://web.mac.com/lorna6/Websiteof_Lorna_Alexander/SITEMENU.html
and I want to put that into a gadget in the sidebar of my Blogger blog. How to do it?
The story that I had earlier intended to put into this website is now going to be in my blog.
-L

As iWeb only creates the html pages upon publishing you need to publish your site from iWeb to your desktop and it will then appear in your site folder. Double click one of the pages in your site folder and Safari will open it.
To get the html, you can either open the page in Safari and click on View Source and copy the code from here or you can download a text editor such as TextWrangler and open your html page with TextWrangler and copy the code from here.
iWeb code it quite messy so copying and pasting it to your Blog might not work that well - it can be done in iWeb, but not sure about Blogger?

Using my Blogger blog on website instead of iweb blog?

Hi guys... does anyone know if we can somehow link our blogger to the blog on iweb? I would much rather use my blogger blog, but i want people to get to it from my website in iweb.
Thanks.

You can embed your blogger site into an iWeb page using an HTML snippet and iFrame code like done on this demo page: Embed One Site Within an iWeb Page. The code used is described.
The biggest problem is the size of the blogger site and how it will fit within your iWeb page. You can always increase the width of the iWeb page, I used 980 for the demo page but the embedded page wasn't too large.

How does Blogger compare to iWeb 09, and starting tips?

I've never had a blog site, but I would like to start one, with an 'About me', posts, and comment ability that I can handle. Some have recommended opening a free site with Blogger. Now that I have iWeb 09 (3.0.1, still unopened) and a MobileMe account, I'd like to ask:
1) How does iWeb compare to Blogger (or any other blogging software)
2) What should I know before starting a blog with iWeb?
Best regards, Isshi.

If you use one of the industrial strength blogging sites that have been suggested here you might be able to add it to an iWeb page using an HTML snippet and iFrame code as in this demo page: Embed One Site Within an iWeb Page.

Scripting blogging in iWeb

Hi!
I am using iWeb '09 to update my website, hosted on MobileMe using a custom domain. I have been using Posterous for blogging, as I liked it's update via email feature quite a lot. Now I am planning to move from Posterous to an iWeb blog. The only thing stopping me is mobile posting. As my Mac is always on and connected to the Internet, I'd like to implement the same email posting feature Posterous has using AppleScript and Mail.app rules.
Up until now I have been able to write a script that takes the needed info out of the message and parses it a bit. The thing I do not know is how to make a new blog entry in iWeb with AppleScript. Here's what I scripted:
on performmailaction(theData)
tell application "Mail"
set theSelectedMessages to |SelectedMessages| of theData
set theTitle to (subject of theSelectedMessages)
set theEntry to (content of theSelectedMessages)
try
set theImage to every attachment of content of theSelectedMessages
end try
set mailbox of theSelectedMessages to mailbox "Completed rules"
end tell
end performmailaction
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "[blog]"
set theReadyTitle to theTitle
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "#end"
set theReadyEntry to first word of theEntry
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {""}

I believe if you are able to use the script to update vie email when you open the blog with iWeb those additions will not be in iWeb and if you publish from iWeb it may wipe out what was added earlier.
Why not just keep the Posterous blog since it does everything you want and embed it into one of your iWeb pages as in this example:Embed a Site Within an iWeb Page.
That's what some of the serious blogger recommend. This way if, for some reason, you drop your MMe account or want to move to a 3rd party hosting server you won't lose all of your blog entries. They are stored on the MMe server and will be lost if you drop the account or move.
Just some food for thought.

I haven't been able to follow any Blogger blogs since downloading Firefox 5.0

I'm able to do this using Explorer but not Firefox. It happens for every Blogger blog. Someone on the Blogger forum suggested there was a problem with your cookies so I've cleared my cache several times but the problem persists. Any clues?
Firefox 5.0; XP

Why don't I ever get replies on here?

In trying to erase an image from Amazon in by Blogger blog I somehow blocked all Amazon images in all blogs. Amazon says this may be a browser question.

This is my second request. First I was asked to verify my account, which I did. All Amazon images are blocked from all my Blogger blogs. How can I unblock?

Did you block image from a domain via the right-click context menu?
You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
*Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
*Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
*Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
*Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
*Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
*If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Exporting images from iPhoto to a Blogger Blog

I have just set up a Blogger blog and am having soem issues with sizing my images correctly for the blog. When I export them even as large images, I have to resize within the post in Blogger, the images then lose their clarity and just look terrible, Does anyone have any experience with this themselves, how have you managed to successfully export good quality images.
I use a Canon DSLR 400D camera in case that is required.
Many thanks in advance for any replies.

Either export as a smaller image (reducing image quality) or use the custom export option to set the maximum Pixel dimension you want (reducing the actual size of the image is better than reducing the image quality) - see the User Tip on exporting for details on the options available

Google finding iWeb mobileme site

I have an iWeb mobileme site and a separate domain name linked. Google can't find it.
Does a site have to be hosted separately for this to happen?

In terms of SEO, iWeb sites aren't that different from any other site. It's slightly more challenging to accomplish some things, but for the most part, you can nail all of the important on-page optimizations on iWeb that you could if you were to have an HTML/CSS website.
But anyways, if your site isn't commercial and traffic isn't a big issue for you, then you don't really need to worry about SEO or hosting. If you want to be found to some degree, ie. typing your site URL into Google, then you just need to create and submit an XML Sitemap and you're good to go.

Domain IWEB Mobileme

Hi, I have a question that is driving me crazy! I want to publish a page made with iWeb mobileme, I took an all-in hosting domain to redirect to mobileme and leave the url of the page I want. The page is www.dinoaldolor.com I have already added the mobile domain and post me what I published as www.dinoaldolor.com / NOALDOLOR and what I want is that I published as www.dinoaldolor.com. So I can not visit the website or do anything because the domain does not match the one I've purchased. X Please Help!
Thanks
