Url IWeb, mobileme

Hola, tengo una duda, he hecho una pagina con Iweb y la he publicado en mobileme redireccionando esta a mi propio dominio, al busca la pagina me la busca poniendo mi dominio que es www.dinoaldolor.com, pero en la url me pone la dirección donde se aloja en mobileme, se que esto puede hacerse pero no se de que manera.
Gracias!
Hi, I have a question, I have a page with iWeb and have published it in mobileme redirecting this to my own domain, the search page looks for me putting my domain that is www.dinoaldolor.com, but gives me the url address where you are staying in mobileme, I know this can be done but not that way.
Thanks!

Yes, that is how it works. If you want to have the following in the URL window, http:/www.dinoaldolor.com/noaldolor/Page_Name.html, you'll need to use CNAME forwarding to your site from your domain name provider.
This web page tells you what to do at the MobileMe end: iWeb: Using your own domain name.
You'll need to check with your domain name provider for what to do at their end.
If you want just www.dinoaldolor.com to be displayed in the URL window of every page on the site you'll need to use regular URL forwarding with MASKING. However here are the draw backs to that method.
1 - visitors can only bookmark the first page of the site.
2 - refreshing a page will that you back to the first page.
3 - search engines will only be able to index the first page of the site for use in it's ranking. This can limit a site getting recognized effectively by search engines.

Keeping the right site tied to my short url on MobileMe

I have maintained multiple websites in multiple domain files, all published to MobileMe since iWeb first came out. I have one site which serves as an index page to all the sites I maintain. This index site is designed to be tied to my short url at MobileMe (http://web.me.com/username). That way from my short url I (or others) can access all the sites.
Prior to iWeb 09, I knew how to make sure that site remained tied to my short user name. Namely, I only published website changes using "Publish to MobileMe" and never "Publish All to MobileMe."
I recently bought a MacBook Pro, with iWeb 09 installed, and have shifted to using it to maintain my websites. But now, any time I update a website (using "Publish Changes"), that website "takes over" the short url.
Is there a solution to this? I did try searching the forums before posting, but my search turned up so many "false matches" I'm afraid I gave up slogging through them all.
kabing

With iWeb 09 the last published site is the one that the will be the default site when entering the minimal http://web.me.com/username URL. You can fix that using the method Wyodor posted here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10748607&#10748607 .
Or you can purchase a domain name for that entry site and use simple domain name forwarding with or without masking. The domain name would be pointed to the URL http://web.me.com/username/EntrySiteName/. Then it won't matter which site is the last published site.
My tutorial site, http://toadstutorials.info, is setup with the simple URL forwarding with masking. Then down side to masking is that visitors can only bookmark the first/entry page of the site.

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

Aperture - iWeb - MobileMe... WORKFLOWS WANTED!

I come seeking advice, and hoping this online essay will spark some discussion on the much-needed integration of Apple-apps online photo sharing and display capabilities -- and I promise to keep the rants to a minimum...
*What I'm trying to do:*
Create a series of Aperture-published (or at least Aperture-based, since that's where my pictures reside) photo pages, pages on which visitors can...
1) Quickly peruse the thumbs (with column&row arrangement, sizing, and framing options all determined by me), while also reading some descriptive text I've provided re the overall event being showcased;
2) View individual shots at a modest but adjustable display size in Slideshow mode (with transition options I've set), and simultaneously see the associated Caption, Date and whatever other Aperture-stored metadata I've chosen to be displayed for that set of images; and then, if they so desire...
3) Download selected images at their original, FULL-pixel dimensions (assuming I've set the page to allow that).
4) PLUS, I want to have each of these individual pages indexed on an iWeb "Album Page", which allows for the contents of each individual photo page to be mouse-skimmed before actually clicking and going to that page.
*An Impossible Dream?*
Not really. Everything I've just described is relatively easy to do -- but only in bits and pieces, it appears -- using Aperture, Aperture-published MobileMe Albums (aka Galleries) and Aperture-published Web Pages, iWeb '09, iWeb's Media Browser, and a MobileMe account. So now I find myself playing Dr. Frankenstein (that's "Fronkensteen"), and trying to stitch together a new form of photographic life online.
In other words, I'm just trying to create the kind of truly functional and flexible photo pages which SHOULD be a no-brainer by now, since all the features I'm imagining already exist! (Then again, I shouldn't ask for too much -- I mean it's not like Aperture, iWeb, and the MobileMe service are all from the same company, right?)
*In OTHER other words...*
I want to publish Gallery-esque pages from Aperture, but ones which automatically include and display whatever combination of Caption, Title, Date, or any other Metadata I select. And ones which can be INDIVIDUALLY indexed on an iWeb Album Page, as opposed to simply dragging in iWeb's MobileMe widget (which so far as I can tell just gives you a single link to ALL your Galleries in one quick but inelegant whack).
OR...
I want to publish Aperture Web Pages, but ones which aren't given a ludicrous "homepage.mac" URL (cripes, how old is THAT code?), and which can be easily seen by iWeb once published, so they can then be dragged into iWeb Album pages for convenient indexing and one-stop skimability by the user. (Also, pages for which Aperture has some sort of "Settings / Visit Page / Announce Site" pull-down button as it does for every MobileMe Gallery -- that's just being consistent.)
OR...
I want iWeb's Media Browser to let me select and drag into iWeb the contents of specific Aperture Projects and/or Albums, but with all Caption, Date, and other metadata for the selected images included, AND (if I so choose) at their FULL resolution -- rather than only at their currently-designated Preview size, which is now the case.
*Whichever way you describe it...*
I'm not really asking for anything all that new, just for some long-overdue integration between the already-existing photo-publishing abilities of Aperture, iWeb, and MobileMe. But before I start submitting more pages of "isn't this obvious?" input to their respective Feedback sites, I'd love to get anyone's thoughts, reactions, or best of all, suggestions as to how to at least partially achieve, the kind of Aperture-based photo publishing & sharing sites I'm still hoping to create.
Many thanks (if only for reading this far!),

Many thanks to both David and Bob for the above posts -- it's just nice to know I'm not alone in this frustration.
Sometimes I desperately wish Apple would appoint a CAO (Cross-Application Ombudsman), a "Minister for Inter-Application Affairs", someone whose only job was to track the functions and features in different Apple apps, to correlate that understanding with relevant user input from a dedicated AppleWorkflows Feedback page, and whose mandate was to then:
a) make sure that the interface of each app behaved in a consistent and predictable manner (so that, for example, Option-clicking a disclosure triangle in a Viewer window list of video filters in FinalCut had the same functionality as Option-clicking a disclosure triangle in a Finder window list of folders and sub-folders -- which it currently DOES NOT);
and
b) - most importantly - make sure the individual apps talked to each fluently and interacted in logical, productive ways (the subject of this thread being a prime example of where that's NOT happening).
This person would have the authority to force the programmers working on different apps to actually talk to each other BEFORE new versions get released; to imagine intelligent, creative ways in which the different apps should interact-- and then require the programmers to implement those scenarios. Essentially, the CAO's only reason for coming to work each day would be to oversee the conception, development and implementation of cross-app workflows which benefit and free up (rather than block and frustrate) the multi-Apple-apps user.
The key is that this person (or persons) would have to be given some real power -- not just to recommend, but in many cases to actually require. (For instance, this person would long ago have required the Aperture team to release a free update which no longer published anything to a "homepage.mac" URL. All together now: "Duh".)
And, as mentioned above, they would have their own separate and well-publicized AppleWorkflows Feedback Page (plus a dedicated public discussion forum as well?), to which users would be actively encouraged to submit their ideas on Inter-App problems and possibilities.
Call me crazy -- but that's my dream, and I ain't givin' it up.

Iweb, mobileme, and godaddy HELP!

I purchased a domain from godaddy.com, designed the website on iweb '09, and have chosen to host the site through mobileme.
After an initial CNAME error on my part, I have been assured by godaddy reps that everything is correct on their end. I have set up the personal domain on my mobileme account, and have published the site from iweb '09 to mobileme. I have waited for the site to propogate onto godaddy servers, and the website is not pulling up. I get an error message that states that the website is temporarily unavailable. I tried republishing through iweb, and nothing seems to help.
My mobileme account is not set to private, and all of the mobileme information is showing correctly.
What do I do to fix this--fast?
Thanks!

Thanks for your help. I spent 4 hours yesterday at my local apple store to see if anyone had additional ideas, and finally a representative deleted the site from my iweb and had me create a new user on my mac. I set up the site through iweb under the new user, but we were still having issues, so we went into godaddy and changed the url forwarding and then masked the site. It was the only solution that worked, and I am thrilled that the site is up and working. I had followed all of the godaddy instructions on the site, and so did the apple reps, (we were troubleshooting mobileme, iweb and godaddy simultaneously) but nothing provided by the godaddy site or godaddy representatives worked. It was just a long process of trial by error that eventually brought us to a solution.
Thank you, everyone for your suggestions, and please know that I tried each one--multiple times. I truly appreciate the help.

Iweb & mobileme

Using iweb I have vids stored on mobileme that are viewed by my iweb pages. When mobileme ceases to exist these vids will not be seen via iweb. What are my alternatives please?

Put your vid files in a folder named "videos" located in the root directory/folder on your new server. Then the URL to those video files used in the HTML snippets would be:
http:/www./your_domain_name.com/videos/video_file_name.m4v.

Dashcode And iWeb(mobileme) upload problem

Long story, short, I'm trying to make my Mobile Me Blog RSS feed into an iphone web app. In Dashcode I have the rss template set up and in the Application attributes URL Feed I have : http://web.me.com/username/MyAnnouncesments.rss.xml.
I have already uploaded the site in iWeb.
When I try uploading (deploying) the webapp in DashCode I get this error:
The deploy domain “idisk.me.com” is different from “web.me.com” used by data source “feedDataSource”. This can cause the web application to not function properly.
What is wrong? They are both mobile me hosted so I don't see the problem.
How Do I fix this?

For some reason, iWeb thinks I own the domain name www.katiehughes.com and tries to post the pages there.
It doesn't actually try to "post the pages there." The only place it can post your pages is web.me.com/username, even when it says otherwise down at the bottom. So it really doesn't matter as far as what is happening to your site.
But go to your MobileMe account settings/personal domain and delete anything which is in there. If nothing is there, you might put in a nonsense url and see if that will replace katiehughes, and then delete that later.

Is iWeb + MobileMe hosting reliable enough for a small business?

I have a small business and am trying to get a website up. It will be less than 10 pages, mostly static informational stuff that will almost never change. I will have a few pictures and maybe about 10 documents that clients can download. I won't be doing any e-commerce, no shopping cart, etc...
I'd like to use iWeb '09 to create it and then just host it on my MobileMe account since that would obviously be the cheapest solution. But I didn't know if that was going to be as reliable as using a hosting service like GoDaddy or AT&T's service (that's who my business DSL is with). Those 2 are only about $15/month for everything (domain, hosting, etc...)
My other question, more related to iWeb, is whether GoDaddy's WebSite Tonight program was any easier to use than iWeb. I'm a complete novice to web page building. I've seen some really nice sites people have posted here that they created with iWeb, but I'm wondering how long it would take me to learn to do something that nice.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Judging by what most people complain about, MobileMe's reliability (uptime) appears to be satisfactory — there are more complaints of MobileMe being slow, but perhaps with only a few pages and pictures your clients won't notice.
If being found by Google is important to you, bear in mind that +"iWeb websites are not made to be search engine friendly."+ ...Read more here:
_SEO For iWeb: How to get your iWeb Websites into Google & Other Major Search Engines_
iWeb is designed for personal sites and so Apple apparently assumes you'll simply pass your site's URL to friends & family. Web-design apps for business sites tend to integrate search engine optimization — Sandvox Pro is an example:

IWeb, MobileMe, google webmaster difficulties.

I've been working on a website that is designed to represent a small business I am starting.
I purchased a domain name and I use my MobileMe account to host it, I subscribed to MobileMe solely for this reason.
I have made a small site, 12 pages or so, in iWeb and uploaded it to my personal domain name.
I then subscribed to google webmasters product and subsequently it seems like I have a penalty on my domain which means that google don't index it and it is excluded from searches.
I have been told that this is something to do with the way iWeb creates sites.
My sites homepage appears like this www.mydomiain.com/Site/Home.html
I would like it to simply start at www.mydomain.com
Firstly, how do I do that?
Secondly, how should I go about making my site google friendly? I use iWeb SEO app but until I can figure out how to reverse the violation penalty that iWeb has caused iWeb SEO software is not particularly useful.
I would like to delete all unnecessary iDisk folders, all I want to use it for is hosting my domain name. Which ones can I delete?
Many thanks.

MobileMe cannot host your domain name, only your website. There is no reason to delete folders from your iDisk as it won't host your domain name.
Apple is not a domain name registrar and you can only host your website with them, not your domain name.
You purchase your domain name from a domain name registrar and they are your domain name hosts - all you do with MobileMe is link your domain name to your iWeb created site hosted on MobileMe.
You must then proceed to link your domain name to your website, so you must enter your domain name into the personal domain name settings of your MobileMe account and then you must go to your domain name registrar and log in here and set up CNAME forwarding to link your domain name to web.me.com.
You are still always publishing your site to MobileMe and never directly to your domain name, but you are simply linking the two together.
As for the site name in your url, this is normal site structure for iWeb and if you are using CNAME forwarding and publishing to MobileMe there is not really a lot that you can do about this.
As for iWebSEO, this works well and I use this for my own website, but for it to work, you do need to use it post publishing, so you would need to publish your site to a local folder and open the html files using iWebSEO and then adding what you want to and you can then use iWebSEO to upload your site or you can simply drag and drop the files to your iDisk.
There should be no problem and your site should still be found.

Why does email announcement give wrong URL (iWeb 3.0.2)

I just completed the first draft of a new site, hosted on mobileMe, using the latest version of iWeb 09, 3.0.2. I accepted the invitation for the program to generate an announcement email, but the URL it generated just pointed to my generic web address on MobileMe, so that a browser using this link picks up the first site on my iDisk, not the new one. I was able to work out the correct URL by adding the specific name of my new site with underscores replacing spaces, and thus alter the announcement email, but why did this happen? I think it may be a bug and have reported it, but maybe it's something I did. Any ideas?

Move iWeb MobileMe Blog to Wordpress

I had to migrate my private Blog about my 2 years old little daughter from Apples mobileme servers to a wordpress account.
I wanted to keep all the comments too (Marlas birth..). So i wrote a perl script to do the job. It is far from beeing perfect, but it works for me. So it may work for you too. You have to adjust some things, that‘s for sure.
Features:
-Keep Comments
-Keep Images (hmm mostly)
-Sets email-adresses for comments by Name
-Sets Tags by text strings occured in title or body
-Free, but my daughter will get every euro you donate! THX!
Note: The script works only while the apple servers are up. After 30. June all your comments are gone!

sorry, i'm just can code some little perl. Applescript is completly new to me. I don't think it's worth the time since the mobileme servers are shut down in june.

Cyclosaurus, what an excellent idea! MirkoW, I gave it a try and got it to generate a file, but wasn't successful yet. I originally published my blog to a folder on my computer. The way my blog is set up, I have three separate sections, each with its own archive and RSS feed. Don't ask me why - it was the only way I could think to separate several different years of posts on my blog.
Hmm, we have to see if we can get the images right. The main problem is that iweb uses the same shapeimageXYZ.png shema for every post and wordpress need to have unique filenames. So my script is guessing the filenames wordpress makes out of them by importing. sorry my english is not as good it should for explaining in detail. Example
iWeb hat 2 posts both with
shapeimage_1.png
So the first post get's the filename shapeimage_1.png but the second post get's the filename shapeimage_11.png.
But what if you have later an image which has already the name shapeimage_11.png?
You got the problem?
For me it works with some tricks. so don't be afraid, i can look into it if you want.

Does the perl script need to be in the same folder as the posts I want to export?
No, the script does not use any local file, it get's all information directly from the mobileme servers.
Thanks for your patience - I do appreciate your help on this and I see the potential for your script. It's the closest thing to a solution I've seen so far. Worst case scenario, I'll get an engineer at work to help me figure out what to do!
can you give me the link to your blog? so i can look into the html code. I think that would be the fastest way to help you.

Aperture iweb mobileme

Hi all,
Im trying to setup an nice looking photographers website using Aperture2, iweb hosted on mobileme...
I would like to keep it all looking simple with a black background.
I like what aperture creates and the way it sync's to mobileme, but im looking to have a homepage with links and other content.
I can create a black homepage, with a link to an aperture created gallery on mobileme, but my question is this.. how can you link back from mobileme to the homepage?
or is there a better way??

IWeb Mobileme gallery cannot be found

I use iphoto to publish my pictures to my MM gallery this all works a treat and i can view them without a problem. When i want to share these pictures i always used iWeb and then the Mobileme widget, but lately it cannot find any MM galleries the list is blank. There are over 40 in there and it used to work i think it has happened since i put snow leopard on any ideas ?

Are the albums "hidden" or password-protected? If so, try temporarily undoing that and see if it makes the other 40 albums available.
If not, try creating one new MobileMe album in iPhoto, publish it to MobileMe and see if it makes the other 40 albums available.
...The above ideas are from this old thread:

IWeb & MobileMe Gallery ????

Can someone explain to me Apple's strategy or idea behind having the MobileMe "Gallery" functionality in Mobleme and iPhoto, Aperature etc and also having iWeb ? Especially considerng that they publish to different places.
Is there any way to get iWeb to publish to the MobileMe "gallery" instead of iDisk ?
I just don't understand where Apple is going with both "tools". Anyone got any ideas as to what all this means long term? What does Apple have to say about the two disparate environments ?
TIA,
Peter

Peter ~ I suppose the answer is that the MobileMe "Gallery" functionality in MobileMe, iPhoto, Aperture, etc. is necessary for those who want to simply publish photo galleries without learning a website creation tool such as iWeb. And +"also having iWeb"+ is necessary for those who want to publish web pages that aren't simply photo galleries.
PeterWor wrote:
Especially considerng that they publish to different places.
It's probably a wise move on Apple's part that they do publish to different places — not all the eggs are in one basket. Also, a photo gallery is just one type of web page and it's reasonable that iPhoto & Aperture can publish the photos in their photo libraries to a special type of web page called a MobileMe Gallery. Plus, the integration is tighter from those apps than it would be from iWeb's indirect access to photos via the Media Browser.
...But I admit that the variety of ways to publish and access MobileMe web pages and Galleries can be confusing at first.
PeterWor wrote:

No — The Galleries have a special location and structure on iDisk that iPhoto, iMovie and Aperture set up during publishing. iWeb doesn't set up that Gallery environment. iWeb does, however, allow you to embed an existing MobileMe Gallery in your iWeb site — see this video tutorial:
http://www.apple.com/findouthow/web/#mobilemegal
PeterWor wrote:

I doubt that you could find something written by Apple that would discuss them as "disparate environments". I suspect Apple considers that the different environments it offers are necessary to provide flexibility and choice — but admittedly the result of that can be confusion, especially when first starting to review the different approaches. Some, despite having successfully published their galleries here:
http://gallery.me.com/membername
...are unaware that they can then control some aspects of it from here:
http://me.com/gallery
