Using iWeb for a persoanl web site.
Hi everyone
I have used iWeb to create a web site to upload to my .mac account before and its really easy.
Now my question is, can I create a web site with iWeb but upload it to a web site of my own on a third party web hosting company?
if yes, can you also explain how to do it?
Thanks a lot
Bob
Yes, you can. First, you probably want this 3rd party hosted site to be separate from your original site. This might entail making a separate Domain file for iWeb to keep the sites separate. Another way to do this would be to create a separate system login account with its own instance of iWeb and separate Domain file. Again, this is a way of keeping the sites in different Domain files so that you can publish both sites independently and to different places. If, instead, you are basically starting over and don't mind erasing your previous website then you can disregard this.
Assuming that you have the particulars of preparing your separate site worked out (as above), then all you have to do is to design your separate site and then in iWeb choose "Publish to Folder". This will place all the files needed for this website in a folder on your desktop. Then you will need to get ahold of an FTP program of your choosing (Fetch and CyberDuck are two that are mentioned all the time). You will also need to figure out exactly where you 3rd party webserver wants you to upload files. You will use the FTP program to navigate to the desired web server directory and then upload the site folder that iWeb made into that directory. That's it!
Here are some tips from Tom Gewecke...

Suitability of iWeb for architect's web site
I am an architect, and need to set up a website that is set up to show several categories of building types, and then under each category show several projects, and under each project show multiple images of that project. Can iWeb do this?
Also, I already have a domain name, and need to know if it can be used for my iWeb site.
Any comments out there?
thx.Darryl ~ One thing to bear in mind is that iWeb is designed for personal websites, not commercial ones — so it lacks integrated Search Engine Optimization (SEO). If SEO is important to you, you may want to consider alternatives to iWeb — such as _Sandvox Pro_:

Sandvox Pro's "Pagelets" may be useful for this:
http://docs.karelia.com/z/Pagelet.html
...They say elsewhere: +"A good web designer should be able to work out navigation so the important categories are along the main menu, and then the sub pages would be listed as a Collection Index in a Pagelet."+
Although I haven't used Sandvox Pro, some ex-iWeb users who have made the switch report superior results over iWeb for commercial use. -
Using iWeb for non dot-mac sites
Hi all,
I own a number of domains that I'd like to use iWeb on. Am I able to utilize iWeb for a non .mac domain, or do I need to use something like Dreamweaver?
Many thanks.
-HughNo, in fact I have a sneaky suspicion that not using dot-mac sites will eliminate a lot of problems other people have. You will also lose some of the effects like the nicer slideshow etc.
I have never used dot-mac and never encountered any of the uploading/publishing problems that are so often mentioned on this forum.
Here is what you do:
After editing your website you choose :Publish to a folder.
This lets you choose a location on your hardrive into which all the necessary files will be compiled/rendered. In this folder you will find an htlm file plus a folder with the necessary files for easch of your pages.. This publishing is done lightning fasy pecause it is done locallly and not trhough your internetconnection like when you published to dot-mac. Also post-editing is easy and hassle free.
For editing and uploading my website I use "Transmit" but there are lots of other applications like "Fetch"
What to upload?
Well I believe the jury is still out on this.
I just upload the contents of the published folder and that works for me. Other publish the whole folder plus the dummy "Index file" that is generated outside that folder. You will heve to find out for your self.
If any changes or editing has to be done afterwards, I republish and then just upload the altered files.
There is one more thing I do, and I believe others don't. I keep my domain file in the same folder where I keep the Published folder.
E.g. there is a festival website, so I have a folder "Festival" in which I keep the domains file, and the published "Festival website" folder.
This way it is easy to keep various different websites.
When you want to edit one of them, go to that folder and double click the domains file, this will start iWeb with the right website for you to edit.
Really very easy.

I am running 10.6.8 and using iweb for my web site. After several SEO analysis they all indicate I need H1-6 header tags. After looking at the source code I see there are none in iweb. Are they necessary to add? Why would one add these tags and how do I add H Tags to iweb? And are there examples to look at? I am slowly learning about simple web design and assumed that iweb was stand alone without having to write code. Is this one of the reasons iweb is no longer supported? Thanks for looking at this!
A simple text page like this:
Heading
sub heading
text paragraph ....
Is traditionally represented by html tags like:
<h1>Heading</h1>
<h2>sub heading</h2>
<p>text paragraph ... </p>
I would guess that the use of h1-h6 tags helps search engines to understand the structure of a page as the tags imply a certain structure.
This can be compared to more generic tags like <div> that could represent any kind of content - and may be what iWeb uses (you'll have to check yourself).
I would generally recommend that you use some kind of up to date blog/site building tool, perhaps Wordpress or Squarespace (I haven't used either one myself) that support current web technologies - this should reduce your SEO issues and make it easier to properly support mobile/tablet users. -
IWeb vs. RapidWeaver for small business web site development
I am going to develop a web site for our small tour business that would contain descriptive text, pictures, testimonials, and an e-mail link that cannot be swept by bots. I have been scouring the forums about iWeb 2.0 and am hearing that there are a number of factors that limit it's suitability for a commercial web site. I would appreciate some feedback on the following points.
1. Would using an iWeb 2.0 template cause display problems on a PC running Internet Explorer; Microsoft does not follow approved web standards?
2. I would want search engines to find and index our site so that people could find it using Google or Yahoo. I understand that .Mac blocks access by spiders, but you can manually list your site with Google. Is this true?
3. I want to use our domain name in the e-mail address, is this possible with iWeb?
4. I would also like to use my .Mac account to host a site about my grandchildren using the iWeb generated URL, this doesn't seem possible if I have listed my business domain name.
5. Does anyone have any experience using RapidWeaver? This seems to be very iWeb like and may be a better solution for a small business.
6. Should I just use iWeb for the grandkids and RapidWeaver for the business, I have never written an line of code in my life and need something that is truly WYSIWYG.
Thank you for your feedback!Hi There, I'll give you my info based on what I know and i'm sure otheres will correct me where they have other experiences....
1. all websites have niggles regardless of what program you use to create them with, iWeb sites are pretty good for compatibility, but as with any site, the more 'stuff' you add, fancy code or funny image types there wil lbe a number of people who have problems. I've found iWeb to be far less troublesome than sites generated from scratch using other programs, even dreamweaver (i'm a graphic designer).
2. dunno about .mac blocking stuff, but i've done commercial sites for clients that I've submitted to Google and they show up just fine when searched for.
3. e-mail address can be ANYTHING. for example you could even put a link to send me mail if you wanted. it is literally just a link to open someones mail program and add a mail address / subject ready for them to send.
4. You can set iWeb / .Mac to use a specific address that you have purchased. and you can have multiple domains from within iWeb.you can't directly publish sites to more than one address, but you can publish to folders and upload to different addresses, or if you make more than one site in iWeb, the first in th elist will become the one that your browser goes to using th emain address (www.yourdomin.com), but you'd stil lbe able to have other sites with their own sub address (www.yourdomain.com/grandkids) for example. you can even add password protection to different sites so your clients don't see photos of you and the grandkids lounging in the garden the day you said you were doing their job!
5. I can happily use Flash Dreamweaver, iWeb and plenty of other stuff, but found Rapidweaver to be a poor version of iWeb. It has certain benfits, but it is nowhere near as user friendly. I'd start with iWeb regardless, and see how you get on. Plenty of people have trouble enough with iWeb and it's basically a no-brainer compared to anything else out there - (short of yahoo webbuilder (pretty good for freebie!)
Just beware of the iWeb templates, they are getting very well known and don't lend themsleves to looking very professional. but use iWeb as a program to put together a simple site and it is easy to use and gets pretty tidy results. see here for simple site done with iWeb without using templates, and resulting in a more pro look and doesn't look like everyone elses site.
http://www.garethmorris.com
6. if you've never even tried editing HTML you want iWeb i promise you. it really is the best for starting offf with, and like i say if you design your own site rather than just using the templates without changing stuff you can get some good results - and quickly / easily. -
Can the WLPI be used for a perl web site
We have a client, which has a perl(Apache/mod_perl) based web site. Cutomers submit orders on the web site and right now there is an order-processing system, but the client is looking for workflow/process product which will ease with all this order processing stuff like acknowledgement, approval, shipping, etc....So my question here is, can they use the WeBLogic Process Integrator for this purpose? The reason I am asking this is, looking at the WLPI docs, it looks like a Java/WebLogic only product and cannot be used for a perl web site.Thanks,Shireesh Thanneru
Yes.
However I would not recommend it, at least as your primary connection for the SmartTV. Relying primarily on VZW data plans is a bad way to view video services such as Netflix at the moment. It is very easy to chew through your plan with only a few videos depending on the resolution and a few other factors. Not only that but a smart TV may be periodically checking the internet from time to time to download firmware updates or provide reporting stats to the manufacturer.
VZW Jetpacks continue to be a poor choice for home primary internet replacement. The data plans that come from VZW and all other metered wireless providers are not friendly to this kind of internet traffic. Letting your guard down for a moment could result in costly overages and once you accumulate them you will be liable to pay them. A normal cable or DSL line with a high/unlimited cap would be more appropriate.
If the Jetpack is a backup or temporary internet connection then go for it. This is what a Jetpack is designed for, you can get by every now and then without too much risk. Just make sure you are powering your Jetpack down as soon as you are done streaming and keep a close eye on your data plan before and after any major viewing. -
Help.I uninstalled ios8 using the directions on the web site and now all my apps,mail are gone.I backed up to iTunes first but when I try to sync to get everything back,it starts and then says it has failed.What do I do now.Thanks.Jane
The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone. -

I published a website using iWeb. I began using iWeb to create a second site and now I can't find my original site's work on my Mac.
If you're publishing directly from iWeb 3 to your FTP server then you'll have the following in your accounts root directory:
Site 1 folder
Site 2 folder
Site 3 folder
index.html file from last published site directling to the last published site.
If you want to keep Site 1 as the primary site you'll need to publish it one more time to the server so you get it's index.html file uploaded.
Now you'll have to publish Sites 2 and 3 to a folder on the hard drive and use a 3rd party FTP client like Cyberduck, YummyLite or Transmit to upload only the site folder (and not its external index.html file with it).
The url to sites 2 and 3 will be:
http://doman_name.com/Site 2
http://doman_name.com/Site 3

Turned on computer this am and firefox icon not there. Used Internet Explorer to access web sites. Was able to access my Yahoo home page but not able to open my e-mail account. I am not savvy enough to change settings by myself, so I really need help.
Thank youHi--I tried your suggestion and no dice. A window came up with the following:The item 'Firefox.exe' that has this shortcut will no longer work properly. Do you want to delete?
Another window said 'C:Program files (x86) Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe' specified in the target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct.
I have no clue as to what that means. I did delete the shortcut.
Finally went into our Kaspersky virus protection and found Firefox is in quarantine and that is probably why I am unable to uninstall and reinstall.
Any ideas????

Use case for describing a web service
Dear all,
I have a fundamental question for describing a web service.
An analyst will first write (1) a use case for describing the web service and (2) wsdl and xsd files for describing the web service.
As a developer, I would say that artifact (2) is enough. As an analyst, I would still need to document the requirement in the format of use case specification. However, it is not clear for me what should be put in this use case specification and what is the added value of such a use case.
Have you any sample example of this kind of use case in order to describe a web service?
Thanks in advance.

Second, why would you think writing a use case for a Web Service would be any different than any other use case?Sorry for posting twice. I thought the first one failed due to a system error but I was wrong.
From millions of use case I can not find a "good" one.
I have in fact two conceptual questions:
1. I have not much to say about the flow of events. It is simply a request and a response. This is much simpler than a "normal" use case. Am I right?
2. However, I don't know where to put the description of business logic: 2.1 the data sets to be put in the request and response; 2.2 the business logic to construct the response from the request.
I would appreciate any hint or discussion.

Hi
Iweb Wont open on my desktop. in the tab it shows that it is open but i cant see the iweb page?
thanksTry the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.
If Roddy's suggestions fail to help continue with this:
1 - open iPhoto and select a couple of photos.
2 - use the Share ➙ iWeb ➙ Photo page menu option.
Give it a couple of tries if the first one doesn't help.
