Using IWEB for Documents

Hi can someone please help???
I would like to use IWEB to set up a central location for all my documents, can anyone advise the best way to do this?
Many thanks

If you put your documents in iWeb itself they'll be stored in iWeb's Domain file — which is vulnerable to corruption. The following alternative is not necessarily the best way, but take a look at the variety of document types you can store for free on Posterous:

...And if your docs are PDFs, Posterous will automatically display them in a nice viewer, e.g.

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. Is it necessary to add? If so, how do I add H Tags to iweb.

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.

Can I use iWeb for my own domain without .mac

I want to use iWeb for creating a simple website. But how can I upload this website to my own domain? Do I need another program. I myself use Dreamweaver. Can I copy the website made in iWeb to dreamweaver? Or... Who can help me out!!!!
margriet

You publish to a folder and use an ftp program like Cyberduck, Fetch, or Transmit to upload. I recommend you not use Dreamweaver. Some tips:

How to use IWEB for multiple websites?

Okay.
I have two websites. One on a 3rd party, one on .MAC.
Computer 1 = .MAC website
Computer 2= 3rd party website
I want to use computer 2 to edit my .MAC website and moved the DOMAIN file but haven't open it in iWEB on the second computer as I need to know how to open and not destroy the 3rd party website.
How is this done?
Thanks.

You can rename the domain file to something descriptive of the site and open them manually. But I find it much safer to use iWebSites for managing multiple sites, over 25. I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.

Would like to use iWeb for a photography website

Hi all,
Please bear with me on this. The question I am going to raise has been asked on the forum in bits and pieces but don’t think I was able to find a comprehensive solution to it.
I currently maintain a photography website which is hosted overat my-expressions.com. Link - http://staticmemory.my-expressions.com/
I love (for the most part) how I have got my site laid out here. The problem is that the host is no longer supporting the platform and hence it means no additional storage space to buy, etc. Basically the hosting platform is going to be abandon-ware in the next few months. Hence, I have decided to build something out on my own. Have purchased a domain and currently have got it to point to my existing photo site.
My Question – Now that you guys have the context, I would like to use iWeb to replicate something similar and host the new site on my own domain. Unfortunately, I know no code but if there is something reasonable, I am willing to spend time and figure things out. I can really see how iWeb can come in handy to create the pages, etc. It’s the adding the comments piece underneath each photo and the option to purchase prints is what I am having concerns about. If you take a look at my website, you will see how one can click on the Purchase Print link right below each photo and that will provide them with options on the print size and then taket hem over to paypal. Works great in the current environment.
Any pointers on replicating the Comments and Purchase Printfunctionality in iWeb will be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
RG

BNN, even though I understand what KT is saying, your thought resonates with mine. When it comes to building and maintaining my website, I see myself more as a photographer than as a web designer. Hence, even though Apple may not be actively developing (and we are guessing on this one, arent we) iWeb, the existing functionality should do plenty of good to me for next couple years at least.
That said, they released a point update a few days back and with the whole cloud thing building momentum and mobile me going for free, why would Apple want to pull the plug on such a fantastic product?

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!

Using iweb for school website

Hi
This may have been answered before but I cant find it in the discussion. I want to set up a website for a very small school (24 students)using iweb. Do I have to use Apple for the ISP and if so is it the same rate as for a private individual?
Anyone out there done the same thing? I have been using the moogle style and they are unbelievably complicated for someone like me! Iweb seems to solve those tech problems and I would love to use it.
Thanks

It is extremely easy to produce a site like this within iWeb. Just start with a white template so that you can design is yourself as they have done.
To get the colours, what they have done and you can do is create a text box and then use either colour fill or gradient fill to achieve the contrast in colours. They have then placed photos and their logos over this. You could even achieve the same effect with a shape too with a rounded or a square edge that is colour or gradient filled.
For the navigation bars, all you need do is to go to the Inspector and hide the page template nav bar and create your own as they have done. They have probably created theirs by using either shapes or text boxes that are again colour/gradient filled. You can then enhance the look by using picture frames to make them stand out more. Don't forget to hyperlink them though. The other nav bar is just done using different text styles and colours.
It is really as simple as that and to make it even more effective you can change the colour of the page background and also the browser background for even more effect. Just open Inspector and go to Page Layout where all these changes can be made.

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.
-Hugh

No, 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.

Can I use Iweb for a domain outside MAC?

Just curious of I can use Iweb to publish a site of my own, not for a .mac account that is held through a go daddy or something like that?

The issue is that when you go to the site, the web address shows www.modnostalgia.com/www.modnostalgia.com/default.html.
That is exactly what is supposed to appear in the address bar. The url you give to customers is still
www.modnostalgia.com
I tried copying the files from the www.modnostalgia.com folder directly into my public_html folder, but then I have issues because it wants to overwrite the index.html file. What do I do?
Let it overwrite the index.html file. A different index.html is required if you want that to work. But truncating the structure produced by iWeb that way will make any RSS Subscribe buttons non-functioning, should you choose to have these at some point.

When I use IWeb for my blog, many people claim they are unable to use the comment window, claiming they get an "error" message. I have check "allow comments" on the appropriate page. Any help would be great.

When I use IWeb to post my blog, many readers claim they are unable to post a comment. When they attempt, they receive an "error" message. I have check and re-checked that "allow comments" is checked in the appropriate window. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can publish your blog on any server but will lose the commenting capability. Since you'll have to find a new host soon anyway since MMe will go away on June 30, you might consider converting your blog to WordPress as that's the only other blog type that an MMe blog can be converted to and keep it's comments, etc. Rage Software has create an application that will convert an iWeb blog to WordPress: Convert Your iWeb Blog to a WordPress Blog | iWeb to WordPress. That way you can keep your blog's continuity.

Using iWeb for e-mail marketing

I am trying to create my own template in Iweb to use for e-mail marketing. However, I am having trouble importing my template into the e-mail marketing program I am using- I'm not really sure what files to choose. I tried to use the css and html files but I previewed the e-mail and all that showed up was a bunch of codes. Any help would be appreciated- thanks!

Any luck with this?? Did anyone reply to you at all?
I designed a beautiful page to use for IContact's email marketing. Then when I went to plug in my webpage for the email, IContact said it could not be used because of JavaScript on the page...AND CSS on the page.
Any ideas?

Ever use iWeb for an eNewsletter?

I'm looking to publish a simple email newsletter for a friend. Instead of going the HTML design route from scratch or using a pre-made template from a mail service, I was wondering if it's possible -- or easier-- to do via iWeb, considering it exports HTML anyway. I'm not a developer so this route would be attractive. Anyone ever done it?
null

You will need to test it across as many email clients, browsers and operating systems as you can because it's very difficult to get HTML emails to display consistently across all possible settings.
You may want to look into redirecting your visitors to a webpage via email.
Also, you're legally obliged to have an unsubscribe option

Using Designer for documents, not forms

Hi,
I am just checking out if you can use Adobe Designer to design documents.
It seems I can import my sample XML file, and then create a form field from one of the elements.
But how would I just get the value of that field?
For example, if my XML contains:
<customer><name>Bob</name></customer>
I want:
Dear Mr. ${customer.name}
Not a form element, like "Name: BLANK."
Is this possible?
Thanks
Daniel

Its easier than all of that. If I uberstand you correctly you want to create a letter template and have a data file (XML) that
contains that data to merge onto the template such that the template will reflow to accomodate data length. If so then
what you want to do is have a floating field to hold or representing that data to be merged. You can add a floating field by putting your cursor in the area of the text block where you want it to appear. Then under the Insert menu choose floating field. Your Text block will look like this:
Dear {TextField1}
The TextField can be accessed in the hierarchy view. By clicking it on it there you can acces that fields properties and change its name as well as set up the binding to the node that you want to use in the inbound XML. Once the merge happens the TextField will take on the XML value and the field will be turned into text. Note that this field is not interactive and can only be set once (when the form and data are merged together).
Hope that helps
Paul
