Uploading a site with iweb

I've created a site in iweb.
Does anyone know how I upload it to my existing domain?
Cheers
Chris

Chris ~ If, where your existing domain is registered, they also provide hosting, you can publish your site to a folder and then upload it via an FTP app to your host. Alternatively, you can publish to MobileMe and point your Domain name there. More info here:

Reassociating a site with iWeb 06

I need a bit of help here from some bright person who use iWeb/Tiger .
I did a clean install of the whole computer. I reinstalled iWeb from '06. I had previously published a site to iDisk created in iWeb.
I had also published it to a folder, but I thought I could just download it back from iDisk after the fresh install. I did that. However, every icon is associated with a browser and not with iWeb. It is the same on iDisk.
I can find no way to re-associate the site with iWeb/open the site in iWeb. Thus I am dead in the water. Again, all the icons are "Safari" or internet associated. In iWeb there is no "Open" and dragging an icon onto iWeb does nothing.
how can I open a site created in iWeb after a clean install on the computer???
I truly need some help here. The site is dead in the water as it is now
thanks

I have created a site with iWeb. I have replaced the iWeb Nav bar with a vertical one I made myself. Problem is, my top button disables itself if it overlaps into the "hidden" nav bar area. I can cmd click and drag it into this area, but then all the rest

I have created a site with iWeb. I have replaced the iWeb Nav bar with a vertical one I made myself. Problem is, my top button disables itself (and the animation doesn't work) if it overlaps into the "hidden" nav bar area (indicated by a blue rectangle). I can cmd click and drag it into this area, but then all the rest of my site is pushed down the page. Don't know what to do about this. I don't know how to bring the rest of the page up without dragging it also into the designated nav bar area. Also, by doing this, is it affecting my site in ant way? see my site here at www.steveburrowsimages.com
The home page is with it all draged into the nav bar area and the about page is with is outside the nav bar area (notice that the top button does not animate or work as a button.
Getting confused here. Anyone got any ideas?

Well, you made a good start with SEO by getting rid of the iWeb default navigation since it doesn't help the spiders and, out there in the real world, there are more people than you would think with javascript turned off in their browsers.
One of the downsides of iWeb is that it doesn't allow for the alt attribute in the img tag. Its well worth adding these to give you extra keywords even if you have captioned all your images. Use iWeb SEO Tool for this...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Tags.html
iWeb, just like most drag and drop software, creates a huge amount of code which causes the pages to load slowly in the browser. Running you files through an optimizer will help to reduce this problem and further reduce the size of image files even beyond the initial optimization you do before loading them into iWeb...

How to upload an Hompage with iWeb with other website nam

I'm an Amateur in this and wanted to ask how can I upload a Website with iWeb or other Programm with an other Address
Thanks

Actually, forwarding has nothing to do with name servers. You should not need to alter these at all.
Did you fill in your personal domain in your MMe account to use the CNAME forwarding option? If so, then at your host you should have gone and altered the DNS settings. You need to enter something similar to www, then select the CNAME option from a drop down menu and then forward to web.me.com.
If you are not using the CNAME option, then you can use ordinary web forwarding which entails going to web forwarding and forwarding your domain to web.me.com/username/sitename.
Name Server settings should not enter into any of this, it should just be either your DNS settings or web forwarding.
So, if you entered your personal domain name into your MMe account and forwarded to web.me.com, then somewhere along the line, you should have entered and set up CNAME in your DNS settings.
If you did not do this, then I believe that the "Kind folk at the Apple store" have given you incorrect information.

Business sites with iweb

Hi
I've a few questions about creating my new business site with iweb and whether it's worth doing it with iweb (loving the designs I can do) or stick with dreamweaver or use sandvox.
I've built one site already with iweb http://www.weddingcooperation.co.uk
I've got this entered onto google using the webmaster tools, but i'm not sure if it'll be found properly. As it's a directory I need the company names and categories to be found, but I'm not sure if that'll work as they're imbedded into images. what's the best way around this, and does it work as it is?
My main worry is doing all the work in making it look pretty in iweb and then it not being found.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks

angela,
your one page looks lovely - and since you did it so nicely on iWeb, i suggest you do the other site on iWeb two! its just so much easier!
and if you want to get your site on google - you always have to do something, wether sandvox or dreamweaver.

ADD form.php to my site with iWeb, possible?

Hi, is it possible to add a form.php to muy site done with iWeb? thank you.

thank you for your kind reply, the thing is i ignore how to do this by programming php, i use Rapidweaver for the forms and i have them done, getting stuck with adding the forms to my mainsite, done with iWeb, because RapWeav also makes a complete site out of it and i only have one domain with a host that supports php, where the mainsite is located. so what i need is some how achieve to split the php form and upload them, but does'nt this create a duplication of sites on the host?, while i have two index.html, one for the main site i want to link to the forms and one for the RW made site with the forms? wow! thank you for your help, maybe there is no solution if i don't manage with programming php and so.

Help uploading Entire Site from iWeb

I'm really struggling here. I cannot get iWeb to publish my entire 4-page website. It uploads the site to GoDaddys servers, but when viewed online only the home page is visible..
I am on an iMac runing Safari 6.0.5 and iWeb is version 3.0.4
I have emptied my cash several times and visited the site on other computer but only the home page is viewable.... GoDaddy tried but could not help me.........anyone have a fix?
thanks in advance,

Create an e-commerce site with iWeb?

I know iWeb has some e-commerce features like the ability to place Google Ads, but I want to create a full e-commerce site with features like an ordering page that takes paypal and credit cards, autoresponders, a pop-up form on the home page that offers to subscribe visitors to my newsletter, possibly a popup that asks visitors if they really want to leave without subscribing, etc. These advanced features are beyond my capability to learn easily, and I understand that I should be willing to hire someone to do this if I ultimately want to earn some money. BUT, what if I want to create the site in iWeb? Would I have to hire an HTML expert who’s familiar with iWeb? Is iWeb up to this task or should I use a different editor for this purpose?

Timothy ~ iWeb is intended for designing personal websites. It doesn't have the level of control at the HTML level to create sophisticated e-commerce websites. You could consider using a web store builder such as eCRATER or Shopify.
The free, web-based Posterous blogging system has an integrated connection with Shopify. You can post photos, video, and documents to your Shopify store blog simply by sending an email with any rich media attached. Read more here.
An alternative to iWeb is RapidWeaver which has a PayLoom plugin which lets you create special pages that interact with PayPal Shopping Cart.

How can i fix this issue?

Hi Ho Yin Wong,
Are you referring to entering the domain name in the 'FTP server' field or the 'Site URL' field?

I'm suddenly having problems uploading my site with Dreamweaver FTP?

I've been using CS6 for a couple of years and suddenly I'm having trouble uploading my site using Dreamweaver FTP?

Maybe your host did something on the remote server side. Have you contacted them?
Do you have enough available server space?
Can you upload files with a 3rd party FTP client like Filezilla?

Creating iPod touch/iPhone web sites with iWeb

I have a web site created with iWeb, i was woundering if it's possible to create a web site specifically for the iPod touch/iPhone platform . Or is there some tamplates in iWeb for creating iPhone/iPod touch web sites ?

Here's a site I created with the iPad in mind.
http://ipad.dailynews.webege.com/
I used a template from iWork's Pages.
Then I made a page setup for the width and height of the iPad screen : 1024x768 or rather 768x1024.
The paper size = 28,40 x 34,50 cm. The papersize is slightly larger because I had a background in mind but changed that later.
The display percentage is 100% so it will look the same as in iWeb.
I copy/pasted the objects from Pages to iWeb.
Then used the iPad simulator to view it. Hopefully it's the same with a real iPad.
See if you accomplish the same for the iPhone/iPod touch.

More than one site with iweb - now my original site forwards to new one

Could anybody help me please?!!
Right. I set up a portfolio website using iweb with a domain from ipage, and that was all fine. Then a few months later, I have set up a website for my Mum's artwork with a new domain bought through the same account on ipage - because ipage allows you to have multiple domains.
Now that I have set up my Mum's site, my own original site just forwards straight to my Mum's. I have checked loads of times that I've entered the right web addresses etc in the bit for the info so that's all correct. I don't know what else to do now. I don't speak the code lingo and am quite basic in my website building knowledge...
Please if there is anyone who can tell me what to do, I'm guessing there's probably a simple solution to this!!
Thankyou!!!
Josephine
P.S I don't know if my version is iweb '08 but it was the only iweb one to select in 'product' options..

Here's how to have multiple sites in a single MMe account with one or more sites having a domain name.
A. All sites are in the same Domain.sites2 files
1 - only one site can use the CNAME method of domain name forwarding and it must the top site in the left hand pane of iWeb.
Click to view full size
2 - the other sites must use URL domain name forwarding which directs the domain name to the site's full MMe URL, http://web.me.com/MMe_Username/Site_Name, or, if there is no domain name, just MobileMe's full URL.
B. Each site is in its own Domain.sites2 file.
Again, only one site can use CNAME forwarding. This presents a problem since CNAME forwarding directs the domain name to the basic MMe account URL: http://web.me.com/MMe_Username/ which uses an index.html file in the root folder of the account, iDisk/Web/Sites. Each time a new site is published or an existing site uses the File->Publish Entire Site a new index.html file is created in that root directory, iDisk/Web/Sites folder, directing the browser to that particular site. This file is what the CNAME method uses to find the site it represents. Therefore some steps must be taken to assure that the index.html file in the MMe Accounts root directory always points to the correct site. This can be accomplished is three ways.
1 - don't use the CNAME method. Just use URL forwarding . This, IMO, is the simplest method as it doesn't requre any additional effort on the user once the domain name has been set up.
2 - use the following method suggested by Wyodor in this topic: Is it possible to have multiple sites when using ur Domain name?
In iWeb domainfile 1:
Create a dummy site : _dummy
with a blank page.
Create your working site : Whatever
Add pages
Publish both Sites to the same same location on the same server.
Your _dummy site is now the default Site.
Check.
In iWeb domainfile 2:
Create/Use your CurrentSite.
Move a page to the top of the Site and back. Publish the Site.
iWeb will create a new index.html file in the root of the server and from now on CurrentSite is the default site.
Check.
From now on, never move your Whatever Site to the top of the list in the iWeb sidebar and never change the page in the _dummy site.
Simply do not touch your _dummy ever again. And never forget that.
3 - use Ethmoid's suggested method in Using two sites - setting one up with separate domain? or republishing the entire site that uses CNAME forwarding. Just making a minor change and publishing the site changes does not create a new index.html file.
The entire site must be republsihing in order to get that new site.
Or keep a copy of the CNAME site's index.html file on your Mac and replace it manually in the iDisk/Web/Sites fodler when necessary.
NOTE: the CNAME method provides a shorter URL: http://www.Domain_Name.com/Site_Name/Page_Name. CNAME does not have masking.
The URL forwarding displays the full MMe URL:   http://web.me.com/MMe_Username/Domain_Name/Page_Name.   With domain name masking that will be shortened to:   http://www.Domain_Name.com for every page of your site.
However, with masking visitors will only be able to bookmark and enter at the first page of the site. If a page is refreshed the visitor is taken back to the first page. Also search engines will only be able to index the first page of the site.
As you know MobileMe will be discontinued next June 30th. With at in mind this might be of some interest to you at this time: Life After MobileMe.

How do I put a movie on my site with iWeb?

(This is reposted here at Alancito's suggestion. Are there some iWeb '08 tricks which will allow me to do this...?)
I'm trying to have a "before and after movie" on my site. (It's a simple graphic made with AppleWorks Draw, showing the mess before using our service ... and then the solution afterwards.)
I want visitors to my site to see the Before image for about 3 seconds, followed by the After image for another three seconds. And I want this to cycle this way continuously ... and automatically.
I'm using iWeb 1.1.2. (Oh! And the reason I use a Mac is I am averse to technical stuff; I just want it to WORK.)
Alancito helped me with this over at <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9513268#9513268>, but it seems I may need to upgrade to '08.
Yes? No? Other suggestions?

Openning up a site with iweb

o.k. I need some expert help. This is too simple of a problem. My iweb appears where it should on the web, at: http://web.mac.com[yourmembername]
However when I open up my iweb, the site that is listed was just a test site. I went into my idisk and the site files for iweb are there and seem fine. (I can click on the html and the pages appear as they should.
Here is my question, how in the world can I open up my site that I want to work on. The site defaults to my test site. I have tried everything I can think of, dragging, tried to delete the old site etc.
It would be nice if the answer were simple like "file open"
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,

Double-click on the Domain file and it'll reset the default location of where iweb reads that file from.
If you double clicked on a Domain file that was in a different location other than your user/library/application support/iweb folder and worked on it then closed iweb then the next time you open iWeb it'll look for the Domain file in this new location but if you've moved it again since the last time you opened iweb and you open iWeb then iweb will just start a new Domain file at the default location.
What you need to do is double-click the Domain file you'd like iWeb to open.

Building an e-commerce site with iWeb

Hi there. I am building an e-commerce site using an iWeb application. I'm having trouble inserting html code for the purchase options (such as "order"). I've had some success by opening up the html file on yahoo web hosting service and inserting the code there, but it is a super pain in the neck.
Can anyone advise me on whether there is a benefit to buying iWeb08 for this? Does it have a simple way to insert html code (such as <form>)? Is it worth the expense?
Thank you very much.

Roddy --
Thank you for your link and your response.
I'm guessing that the HTML snippet feature is part of Web08. I have an earlier version and there is nothing like that. Does this sound right? If so, I will have to buy myself the new version.
Thanks- ES
