Trying to add blog entry causes iWeb to crash

I am trying to update my blog on my website and every time I hit "add entry" it closes the entire program. Happened 4 times in a row. Anyone else experienced this?

Blog entry in iWeb via e-mail?

Hello,
I have an iWeb blog on MobileMe and wondering if it is possible to add blog entries via e-mail? (This feature would be very handy if one is away from his Mac...)
Thanks,
Attila

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you don't have a lot of comments and posts to your current blog I urge you to give careful consideration to what Ethmoid suggests.
The "commercial" blogging sites are so much more robust and versatile and have the capability of being posted to from any computer anywhere and from mobile devices, i.e. smart phones or iPads.
You can design the site to approximate the design of your iWeb site and embed it into a page of your site like in this demo: Embed a Site Within an iWeb Page.
In the long run I think you'll be much better off if you can convert now.

Add blog entries from other computers?

I use iWeb on my home machine, but sometimes want to post a quick update from work. Is there any way to do this? Seems like a reasonable feature to have.
Jason

iWeb stores your site data in a domain.sites2 file in Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
Each of you would have to have access to the latest version of this file to be able to add blog entries.
The easiest way to do this at home is to network the two Macs and use file sharing.
To add an entry you would drag the domain file from the Shared folder to Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb, launch iWeb, add your stuff and then place a copy of the updated domain file back in to Shared.
If you are working remotely, you can keep the file on your iDisk or simply email it.
The advantage of having a copy on your iDisk is that, if anything goes wrong, you have a backup - off site.

Can't find my blog entries in iWeb.

I had just made several days worth of blog entries in iWeb and saved them.
I went to publish them, and now all of my blog entries seem to have disappeared.
All I see is my "About Me" page. I see no blog entries.
My desktop file does not appear to have been updated with the blog entries either.
I'm hoping my new entries are not lost as I spent hours making them.

The "http://web.mac.com/yourname/" approach only seems to show the very first site I made. Is there any way to list all pages I have made? Without using iweb?
Well, your old page might still be there. Check in
this path:
iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/...
Do you see two folders or one? If you only see one,
then your old pages were probably overwritten. If
you see two folders, then presumably the folder names
represent your old site from the old powerbook and
the new dummy site that you just created. If so,
then you can just point your browser to this address
to access the old website...
http://web.mac.com/yourname/iWeb/oldsite/
The new sites that you publish on your new MBP (I'm
jealous, btw) can be accessed via the usual URL...
http://web.mac.com/yourname/
Unfortunately, even if the folder containing your old
website is on your iDisk, there is currently no way
to get it back into iWeb for editing or revising.
Your only recourse is to recreate the site on your
new MBP. In the future, if you ever move machines
again, just be sure to transfer the "Domain" file
which is located in this path...
Users/yourname/Library/Application
Support/iWeb/Domain
This file is where iWeb keeps everything about the
website that you create. Transferring it to a new
machine enables iWeb to pick up right where it left
off on an old machine.
Of course, I've assumed through this whole message
that you don't have access to this "Domain" file from
your old powerbook, do you? If you do, then you're
in luck!
Good luck!

Asking for a password when trying to add an entry to /etc/hosts

I am trying to add an entry to /etc/hosts using Terminal. When I type the command: sudo nano /etc/hosts it asks me for a password. I have never set a password so I have no idea what this would be. My admin pw is blank (I just hit enter) and this is not working. Is there a defaut password or how can I reset this? Thanks

Can I add blog entries with my ipad??

I started a blog in iWeb on my macbook and then wondered if I could add entries with my iPad and iPhone since I'm not going to be traveling with my macbook. Trying to do a travel journal via this method.

If you use Wordpress as Koeklin suggests you can embed that blog into an iWeb page as shown in this demo page: Embed a Site Within an iWeb Page. That way visitors don't need to leave your site to see your blog and you can add to it from your mobile device(s).

Adding Blog Entries Without iWeb

Is there anyway to post blog entries without using iWeb. I feel like I already know the answer to this, but I was hoping that there might be some way.

Trying to add an attachment to an email crashes Thunderbird, why

I,ve been using Thunderbird successfully on my HP Pavilion p6060a (Vista) including attaching documents (pdf and/or Word) to outgoing emails via the notice that appears at the end of the draft email when the words "attach" or "attached" are inserted. However, in the past few days this facility has not worked, and when attempted, leads to a "crash" of Thunderbird. I've tried uninstalling Thunderbird and reinstalling it but it still doesn't help. I've also sent off several reports of the crashes to Mozilla with no response. Help!

It works OK now. Earlier today I received an email with an attached slide show. I downloaded the slide show, watched it, and closed the email. Afterwards I tried to create an email with an attached photo and it worked!
I used to do Fortran programming on a 7090, but it seems that the home computers containing all sorts of software from who knows where and with who knows what faults, do not always work as they are supposed to. Whatever happened to logical certainty?
Thanks anyway for your help. Jim

I run windows 7 & firefox crashes all the time - no common factor - have tried disabling add-ons & have sent lots of crash reports

I only have one add-on and I disabled it. Took a bit longer to crash but then kept crashing. I play games from big fish and sometimes download stuff. I also get a message from Norton telling me Firefox has high memory usage. Other than that, I have just normal usage like web browsing and emails. Any ideas? Thanks.

These are likely out-of-memory crashes where all available memory is used up.
You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox (you need to close and restart Firefox).

Linking to Adobe PDF on blog entry crashing iWeb

Help! I have been using iWeb to create a website and blog. In a recent blog entry, i linked to an Adobe PDF file on my computer. The link was functioning and working fine, and then I saved the entry and iWeb crashed. I managed to open it back up by sending photos from iPhoto to iWeb. The other pages of the website work fine, and other blog posts also work fine. I tried publishing and the site published. However, in both iWeb and online, the blog post with the linked PDF is now just blank. The PDF works fine on its own and is not corrupted.
I have tried editing the post as well as deleting it in iWeb, but every time I click either button iWeb crashes and gives me an error message. I cannot duplicate the blog post either. This would somehow be okay, but I cannot add a new blog entry in iWeb either (it crashes). other pages are unaffected. I have not attempted deleting the entire blog portion of the website yet. Is there anything I can do to get rid of the malfunctioning blog post besides deleting the whole website and starting from scratch? Bear in mind the back-up of the Domain I saved was after I saved the blog post. Is there a 3rd party app that I can open my Domain in to manually remove the blog entry, or someway to access the code to delete the data that way?

This JUST happened to me as well after linking to a PDF file but now I can't get iWeb to load up, well, it opens and I can see the inspector pane but that is all...the main window is not there and I can't seem to figure out how to get it.
I also noticed a bunch of iWeb stuff in the trash now in a "recovered files" folder.
Any ideas?

Web Based iWeb Blog Entries?

I just came across an instance where it would have been handy to add blog entries to my page created in iWeb, from a computer that does not have iWeb loaded. As far as I know there is no way to make blog entry additions like you can in the more conventional web-based blog applications (Myspace, Blogspot etc...).
I am pretty sure I have run all the traps on this one, but does anyone know if an option to allow this is available, or is in the works?
It would be great to be able to travel and make additions to my blog at any computer kiosk.

No, that's not the problem. I am talking about adding a blog entry from a kiosk type connection, not your mac connected to the internet.
It sounds like you ae having a problem publishing to iDisk. This can happen with complex network connections (wireless, routers, switches, and firewalls at hotels).

Issue with Blog entry length

Okay, so i create a blog with pictures that are very long (several pictures made into one in photoshop). When i'm editing the blog entry in iWeb, everything looks fine. When i view it in the browser the page cuts off half way and moves the next and previous buttons up to where it cuts off. In iWeb i set the page length to be 4000pixels, which is more than enough...but it doesn't show up that way in the browser.
My solution right now is to open the html file in dreamweaver and change the length pixels to 3000, which works fine. The problem is that anytime i do work in iWeb, it'll automatically save it back to it's version...so i'd have to change every blog entry every time i do anything to the website! WHAT A PAIN!!!
Anyone else had this problem? Is there a solution? Is Apple listening? FIX THE BUGS!

This seems totally illogical to me, because if the picture is in the body, the footer should come after the body. I should have to extend a footer to have an entire picture in the body show up.
Either way, i obviously did it (because all your other advice is accurate), and of course it works....sort of.
Okay, so now i CAN see the entire picture, however, Next and Previous still show up mid way through the picture. yet in the editor they are under the picture. SO, i thought i'd just drag them down a ways and sort of gage how much extra space is needed. So in the editor there would be a huge gap under the picture before these arrows show up. Unfortunately, this didn't work, the next and previous buttons still who up mid way over the picture. GAH?
Is there a fix for this? I haven't really bothered playing around with it, 'cause i spent soo much time last night trying to figure out why adding another blank page caused all my other pages to alter.
Thanks for your help on all my issues Ethmoid!

Blog Entries Saved to Folder

Hi all:
I hope those of you who have already used iWeb 2 can answer me. One of the worste thing of the previous version of iWeb was that when I added a new post to my blog and saved it folder, it saved AGAIN all the other unedited posts and pages too. Therefore, when I add the 301th post I have to wait for iWeb to save all the 300. And this is pure madness.
Can I save only the new blog entries with iWeb 2?
Thanks,
-Antonio

I have note tested this yet but I feel quite sure nothing has changed for you.
When you add an entry to your blog your blog's base page has changed it's content; you understand that it must regenerate and upload that page anew. Your archive page too has changed in the respect that it has had the last listed entry on the base page added to the top of it's parade.
It only makes sense that it would have to upload both of these. So I assume it is storing these as two basic pages. One of which, in your case, is extremely large, the archival one. It's true a better approach would be to save 300+ pages and just use url's, but apparently they have decided against this.
I might suggest that you make an entirely separate page for your archival construction and route to it from your base page, rather than letting iWeb take care of all of that for you. If your home-made archival page never changes, it won't upgrade.
So you have your base page with 5 or 10 entries, your archival page with say another 20 or so, then you have your mega-archive as a different blog page inside iWeb, and route user with a url at the bottom of the iWeb archive page.
iWeb isn't the best tool for all jobs. If I was that industrious and had a 300+ entry blog I'd use iBlog (which is a **** of a nice program) or blog.mac, also a great program. Just a thought.
Good luck!

Adding blog entries via email

Suggestion: to add blog entries (text and/or photos) to iWeb via email.

I'd done something similar long ago, sent an email to my home machine, AppleScript intercepted the email, parsed the subject line and turned on X-10 power module. It was like having Tom Bodett at home.
As for iWeb, the concept is do-able. But at the current state, iWeb is not quite scriptable. You can add a photo blog entry, but it only has images property, so you can't enter any text for it.
Perhaps, next rev.
