TS2167 iWeb blog publishing help?

I am having trouble publishing an iWeb blog page.  I keep getting "Publish Error" unkown msg.  I have an iWeb website already and wanted to add a blog.  Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks

ok I know I am going to come across really dumb here but....
Ok, thanks for the help.  However, the file you indicate is missing - what is this where should it go and what do I do with it.
I have no idea why the domain name is also my site name these were the details given by my host people, although they did say they would sort it out to look better in the browser etc.
Not sure what you mean about making something an image if it's a text?  I have chosen the text 'cracked' so assuming everywhere I have used this (alot) I should split the words individually?
I have gone through all the links at the bottom of my page and they all go to where I want them to go within the website design on iweb, I've tested all ?
Sorry if I am being a little dumb here but the program was easy to use without further IT knowledge, i really appreciate your feedback as I am very keen to get my site live asap but please could you expand on your feedback so I can put these wrongs right.
many thanks

  • TS2167 iweb not publishing

    Please can someone help with some useful advice.  I have just created a website for my new company, published to FTP server (not mobileme) and the first page is uploaded no problem (www.peakskiholidays.com) but if you click the link on any of the other pages these do not load and state and error.  I am pulling my hair out now and I know some will come back to me saying what do you expect from iweb but I wanted to be in control of my own website and found it so easy to use.  I haven't gone made with pages and links etc in the website and I have used this before with my previous website (www.peaktherapies.co.uk) and had no issues at all.
    If any one can suggest why this doesn't work and how I can get the whole thing uploaded it would be much appreciated.
    many thanks

  • Publish iWeb blog from Windows

    Hello everyone. I just created a blog in iWeb and publish it on an FTP server, but the blog will be managed by a friend and I, and my friend uses Windows. I want to know if there is any way for my friend to post on the blog from Windows.
    Thank you.

    Frankly, there must a way around this. Granted, there's no chance your friend on the PC can run iWeb, but all iWeb does (assuming you're using a local folder and not MobileMe) is edit the html and xml files. In theory, if your friend can edit these files from afar and update your files with newer versions, there stands no reason that this shouldn't work.
    Come to think of it, you could use DropBox. Saving your site to a local folder in your DropBox folder (my website, for example, uses this trick), you can give your friend the authorization to access the folder, which only requires an internet connection to access. From there, he or she may be able to edit the code (adding a new post, for example) and saving the changed documents in the DropBox folder. You can use whatever FTP program you like to upload your website from said local folder.
    Does any of that make sense? I'm facing similar problems, trying to give non-Mac authors access to post on my iWeb-constructed website.

  • Strange issue with iWeb site, please help

    Hi everyone,
    Until recently, I've been keeping an iWeb blog of my time in India. Nothing too complicated, just stories and photo albums. However, recently something strange has happened, and the website is no longer displaying correctly. It looks fine in iWeb, and when I publish it in a folder and open it locally, everything is fine. However, after uploading it to my hosting provider, it looks like this:
    http://www.egbertopreis.nl/India/
    (screenshot of what it looks like here: http://egbertopreis.nl/website_screenshot.PNG )
    This is a screenshot from iWeb of what it should look like: http://www.egbertopreis.nl/iWeb_screenshot.png
    I'm using the 'darkroom' theme, but as you can see, something is clearly wrong. It is not displaying the menu correctly, the layout looks strange and it isn't loading any of the articles. The other pages are accessible if you navigate there directly, but there you have the same problem.
    It looks like, for some reason, the CSS and javascript elements cannot be loaded, although I have no idea why this might be the case. They are all just static files, and it worked fine until about a week ago.
    Although I'm an IT professional, I have literally no idea what could cause a problem like this. I went with iWeb because I wanted to use an 'easy' solution and not over-engineer something for once
    Usually what I'd do in a situation like this, is just purge the whole site and re-upload it. However, since I'm traveling around, I don't have fast internet access anywhere and the site is now so large that it would take forever to completely re-upload. This is also the reason why I can't troubleshoot it properly myself...
    Any help (or even words of encouragement :-)) whatsoever would be extremely welcome. Thanks in advance!
    Message was edited by: Heliode
    Edit: Forgot to mention what I already tried myself;
    - deleted the HTML and XML files and let iWeb do 'publish changes'. Everything was re-uploadeded, but issue remained.
    - Deleted the 'Scripts' folder on the remote host, and manually re-uploaded from locally published folder. No effect.
    - Tried randomly changing layout items in the hope that any potentially corrupted files might be overwritten after publishing. No effect.

    Hi Roddy, thanks for your reply. It wasn't just me though; a lot of other people from back also reported the same issue. I was also getting the same thing from behind a wired connection. You can still see and experience the issue yourself if you look here.
    I've since 'resolved' the issue by getting a .Mac trial account. A friend helped me move the whole blog over there, where the site works as it is supposed to:
    http://web.me.com/eggmeister/India/
    Therefore the issue has to be with the hosting. Right now I'm suspecting it might be some obscure configuration issue with the hosting company's server. Maybe something like too low a setting for Apache's 'MAX REQUESTS'. This might cause issues with all the javascript going on in the iWeb pages, loading elements back and forth. I'm in contact with the hosting provider, and will let you know what I find. Might be useful for future reference.

  • IWeb blog - How much to upload?

    I have an established blog on my iWeb created website, in my own domain. http://www.cuppa500.com/CCC/CCC.html
    To add a new entry to the blog I complete the following procedure:
    Compose update & save in iWeb
    Publish to a folder (on my desktop)
    Transfer the updated material to my web site using FTP (Fireftp in Firefox).
    This works ok ...BUT... each time I have uploaded the entire blog even if only correcting a previously uploaded spelling mistake! With the increasing size of my blog, this is becoming quite a lengthy process.
    QUESTION
    Is it possible to upload individual blog entries, & if so how?
    Very soon, I will wanting to update my blog more regularly whilst travelling, Mobile broadband is expensive so a method to cut back on the amount of data I upload is pretty essential.
    Thanks
    Cuppa
    http://www.cuppa500.com

    If you update/correct a previous entry you can upload the files for that page only. If you do this for a new entry you will break the file structure.
    I don't use the iWeb blog because it is restrictive and soon becomes unwieldy as you have discovered.
    Consider starting a new blog for your "travels".
    You can publish several blogs as sub sites and upload them to your server as separate entities and link to and from your main site.
    Using a better FTP application will help. I use Yummy which has a ton of options.

  • Iweb blog remote updating

    I will be going on travel and would like to update my blog on my site. problem is i will be traveling with a pc laptop from work. is there any way to update the iweb blog remotely?

    Phil ~ I don't know how practical this would be, but...
    ...is a free, cross-platform, remote desktop system that you can use to access your Mac from almost any system. You could log in to LogMeIn, open iWeb and edit & publish your site remotely via your home system.
    ...for iPhone and iPod touch provides instant one-click access to your LogMeIn computers, directly from your Apple device. Make your iPhone or iPod touch an extension of your work or home computer:
    • Use a program that's on your office computer
    • View a photo on your home desktop
    • Help a friend troubleshoot his or her computer
    • All from the palm of your hand, from wherever you are.

  • IWeb blog squished

    I found that when I publish my iWeb blog with several text boxes, HTML snippets, and pictures it does not display properly. The items tend to run together and cover each other up. This problem is especially bad when viewing the posts on iPhone. My post will look fine in Safari on my Mac but be all squished when viewed on my iPhone. Is there anything I can do to anchor the items in place?
    I appreciate your help!

    Click on Inspector (bottom left in iWeb). In Inspector, click on RSS (fourth from left on top). Click on "Blog." Under "Blog Main Page," you'll see "Number of excerpts to show." Adjust the number and Voila!!
    Good luck and Happy New Year.

  • Updating iweb blog

    I've built a website with iWeb and moved it to a third party ISP.  How do I update the blog efficiently?  Don't see any help on the topic.

    You are aware that by publishing an iWeb blog to a 3rd party FTP server you will lose the following features, right?
    Features Unavailable When Publishing to a 3rd Party Server:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments

  • Managing multiple sites in different iWeb versions - PLEASE HELP!

    apnewbie/cyclosaurus/roddy/old toad (and any others more knowledgeable than i):
    i've run into a bit of a pickle. i am hoping someone can help straighten me out. i am about to jump out of a window. here's the rundown:
    (for starters, i have a .mac account and am publishing to .mac.) i created a site in iWeb 1.1.2 on my work computer (mac book pro). worked great, really lovely. thought to myself, "hey, i'd like to create another site from home, but i don't have iWeb at home (powerbook G4) - i should buy iLife 08 so i can build these things from home and not have personal files on my work computer."
    so: i had a site that i created within 1.1.2 with files written to iDisk. i purchased iWeb 08 and would like to have another site, but this one is being created in 2.0. i also am using a personal domain name this time around bought with google apps and hosted by godaddy. i published the new work in progress for a test run and...you guessed it...my original 1.1.2 site was rewritten by the 2.0 site. and the 2.0 site comes up as the standard google search page for domains that aren't up and running. whooopsie.
    sorry for the lengthy intro, but that's the background. i guess my specific questions are:
    1) i want to be able to maintain multiple sites from iWeb 2.0...can i open my 1.1.2 domain file in 2.0 and successfully bring that site into 2.0?
    2) what is the most efficient and easiest way to get both of these sites running in 2.0? right now i have two domain files (created on two different computers).
    3) for domain management, is it best to move from the iWeb folder in my home library to different folders (one for each site, with separate domain files, and my 2.0 domain file is NOT called domain, it's the name of the site) to another location? (and of course, i will back these up just in case.) and when i want to update a site, i just open that individual domain file, right? or will these sites publish over each other?
    please help. i am at my wits end. i'm sure this is a relatviely simple issue, but i'm new to iWeb.
    thanks, thanks, thanks for your help guys.

    joojy,
    Welcome to the forums!
    First of all, your original 1.1.2 site may not, in fact, have been overwritten. It is quite possible that the site remains in it's position on the iDisk, Web/Sites/iWeb/YourSite, but because you published to the iDisk (.Mac) from 2.0, a different index.html file has been placed in the root level Web directory which is causing the 404 error. Navigate to the directory on the iDisk, using the Go menu in Finder, and look to see what is actually there. Follow this path:
    Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/YourSiteWillBeHereIfYourLuckIsGood
    If your site is there, great; if it isn't, it's not really a problem because hopefully you still have the Domain.sites file on the MacBook Pro and you can republish it if necessary. If it is there, you can modify the index.html file on the iDisk using a text editor and get your url redirected back to where it should be.
    Second, do not open your 1.1.2 Domain.sites file with 2.0 until you have a backup of this Domain file. External drives are best for this. Assuming the backup is in place, launch 2.0, choose the Domain.sites file, and click on "update". It will be updated to a Domain.sites2 file. If the site looks ok then continue on with editing/publishing.
    Skipping to question (3), by all means, abandon the default location of the Domain.sites file in the Home folder's Library and get accustomed to keeping your Domain files in their own, respective folders. When you want to open one just double-click it.
    You are going to encounter difficulties publishing multiple sites in 2.0.2, unless you keep all of the sites in a single Domain file. 2.0 is publishing to a different directory on the iDisk than 1.0; it publishes to /Web/Sites/, as opposed to /Web/Sites/iWeb/. Publishing a site from a separate Domain file erases previously published sites. I have been able to publish multiple sites, from multiple Domain.sites2 files, by mounting the iDisk and actually moving the Site folder back one level, into the root Web folder, and then publishing. When finished, I move it back again. If you have RSS feeds you will probably get a 'file in use' error. The alternative, (other than keeping all sites in a single Domain), is to publish the site to a folder and then manually drop the Site folder into the Web/Sites/ directory on the iDisk. Of course, some .Mac functions are lost when publishing this way.
    Work through this info and post back.

  • IWeb blog, photo albums requires us to enter the site name on every entry?

    Every iWeb blog entry gets a heading of something like "My Site" or "Tom's Photography." This means we have to retype the name of our site +in addition to+ the actual title of every blog post.
    Does this not seem annoyingly tedious to anyone else? Did the iWeb team really screw this up, or am I missing a setting somewhere? This also happens on photo album pages; the page for every new album dragged in from iPhoto or Aperture gets a generic title of "Tom's Photography" or something. Pretty annoying. Can anyone helps?

    that's cool and everything, but someday when I have hundreds of posts and I want to change the title on the top, I will have to manually change each one. For some reason I think Apple would have thought of this. It seems like a no-brainer...?
    Still need someone to help out on this.

  • Iweb Blog ftp or mobile me?

    I have just designed a website in iweb that I ftp through godaddy. Took a while to make that decision, but at least I have complete design control! I am doing pretty well and now at the search rankings stage and realize that iweb isn't great at that. Read some of the articles here on search rankings and downloaded the SEO guide and going to take actions with that, and also bought the godaddy search optimisation pack and intend to place the metatags/descriptions etc on my pages.
    BUT, I now want to design a second site which is just a blog, which obviously isn't showing up through godaddy, so need to mobileme it. But, with a blog, how do you add the metatags etc to the pages, and are their individual pages for each blog posting? Does mobile me make it easy to go into each file and make the blog searchable? Just not sure whether to just design blog pages myself in iweb rather than their formatted ones, and use godaddy instead?
    So, in short - mobile me with formatted iweb blog? or design own blog and ftp with godaddy - which makes the pages more searchable?

    Welcome to the discussions. You'll probably have better luck making your blog pages more searchable if you use a dedicated blogging platform — most of them allow tags to be specified.
    MobileMe is slow and problems with iWeb's blog are a recurring theme on these forums. For a success story with a non-iWeb blog hosted on WordPress, see this old thread:
    To blog or not to blog
    And to link to an external blog from iWeb's navbar:
    Create a blank internal page titled "Blog" (Actually you can name the page whatever you want.) Then in that Blog page add an HTML Snippet with the following code:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    parent.window.location = "http://www.yourblogname.com"; // change this to your own URL
    </script>
    ...Once published, clicking on "Blog" in the navbar will immediately redirect to your external Blog page. (Thanks to Cyclosaurus for the code).
    SEO is important to you, but iWeb is designed for personal sites and, as such, Apple apparently thinks there's no need for Google. Web-design apps for business sites tend to integrate SEO — Sandvox Pro is an example:

  • Most Popular Entries in iWeb Blog. Possible??

    I want to put a box in my iweb blog that will contain the most viewed (most popular) entries I have in the blog so they could be easily accessible. Is it possible because Im searching the net but I cannot find anything... What do you think?

    There is a workaround that involves quite some work to do by hand.
    1. Get a Google webmaster account
    2. Add the Google Analytics code to your HTML files (post publish editing)
    3. Look at the results on a regular base to see what Blog entry is most popular
    4. Show the most popular Blog entry in an iFrame (you'll have to change them by hand)
    This is a summary. Feel free to ask for details.
    Kind regards,

  • How can I redirect iWeb Blog to Wordpress

    Hi - I'm looking to redirect my iWeb blog to a temporary WordPress blog and was hoping there was some code I could use to do this? Or can I do this directly in iWeb?
    * Would I download the Index.html file to do this to add code? Then reupload to iDisk when finished?
    Is there a standard redirect code for me to use? I'm looking to have readers type web.me.com"username" - and be directed to a Wordpress blog site.
    Thanks in advance for any help -

    You can add the following code to an HTML snippet on your iWeb blog page:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    parent.window.location = "URL TO PAGE ON SITE YOU WANT TO REDIRECT TO"; </script>
    When someone lands on your iWeb blog they will immediately be redirected to your other blog.

  • Move iWeb blog to WordPress?

    Hello,
    I hope someone can help me. I have a blog at a MobileMe site that will soon disappear. The address is web.me.com/tjkk2 . I now have a WordPress blog and would love to move the entries at this old site into the new WordPress one. Is there a way that this can be done? If someone could point me the way forward to do this, I would be most grateful.
    Thank you very much.

    Not sure if you already went through with copying and pasting your blog posts, but I just found this tool that lets you import your iWeb blog posts and comments to wordpress.

  • IWeb not publishing movies

    Hey there. I'm new to these forums, so go easy on me. I searched the forums for this topic and didn't find anything related to my problem. Recently, I started using iWeb to build a site, and I had a huge problem, and that problem is that iWeb only publishes some of my movies. Now, the format I've been using is the Apple TV settings in Final Cut Express. I realize that iWeb likes small files for uploading. But, with the formats and files sizes being about the same (150-200 megs) why is this happening? Initially, what I did was delete the movies page, create a new one, and sometimes this would work, but not all the time. That, I think is what is most frustrating - The fact that there is this randomness in troubleshooting. I've brought up the overlay and examined my assets in relation to each other, but I can't see any conflict there. I really don't want to export from Final Cut or Quicktime in a web format, as there is a such a huge loss in quality, obviously. Does anyone know of a workaround to keep these movies in a higher quality and have them be compatible with iWeb. By the way, my iDisk is empty, so that's not the issue either. Thanks in advance for the help.

    Welcome to the discussions. You could try importing your movies into iMovie and then publishing to MobileMe Gallery:
    http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/#mobileme
    Then you can pseudo embed your Gallery movie into your iWeb site — here's a video tutorial briefly showing that about half-way through:
    http://www.apple.com/findouthow/web/iweb08.html#tutorial=livecontent
    ...Visitors will have a full-screen option to view your movies and an advantage for you is that the movies are no longer in iWeb's Domain file — so site re-publishing times are shorter. There's more about MobileMe Gallery here:
    http://www.apple.com/mobileme/features/gallery.html
