Using iweb to create an HTML email

Simple question and I'm sure it has been asked, but I can't find the answer. I am pretty new to html coding and was wondering if I could use iweb as a sort of wysiwyg editor to create html emails. Would this work? Thanks!

It doesn't always work that well, but the way to do it is to publish your page and then view it with Safari and use File > Mail Contents of this Page.

  • 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.

    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

  • How can I use iWeb to create website that contains a lot of downloadable audio files?

    Hi
    How to use iWeb to create a website that contains a downloadable audio files.  I'm uloading about 15 GB of audio files.  I need to creat folders "albums" and then put the files in these folders.   Any advise?
    Thank you very much for your time to this
    W B

    The important thing is not to put the audio files directly into iWeb: if you do that then every time iWeb decides it needs to upload the entire site you will find yourself uploading all 15GB of audio files, which won't make you happy. Start by uploading the files to the server - in folders as suits you - and then link to them in iWeb.
    If you want them to download rather than play, you may be able to set up an .'htaccess' file in the folder which will force a download - it depends on whether your hosting service will allow this. The method is described here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/missing/download.html
    Here is an example of a simple link which produces a download (without the process described the audio file would play in the browser in a blank page):
    http://rfwilmut.net/stars/dawson2.mp3
    Then all you need to do is to provide a link, designed however suits you, in your iWeb page. If your server won't allow the .htaccess file then you will have to ask visitors to control-click (Mac) or right-click (Windows) on the link and choose 'Download linked file' or equivalent - not so convenient; or otherwise zip the files first, which won't much reduce their size but will force a download (and of course the recipients will have to unzip them).
    If you want the files to play in a player in the page, you can use an html snippet to provide a player as described in this page (you will also need to upload a script to the webspace - this is provided in the page):

  • Can I use iWeb to create a website with visitor purchasing options?

    I'm wondering if it's possible to use iWeb to create and publish a website for a small business like mine where visitors to the site can select items and have the option to make credit card purchases from the site. Obviously all the security for online purchasing would need to be there also. Is iWeb capable of that or does Apple offer a different web page software that can do this?
    Thanks to anyone who can help,

    Welcome to the discussions. Not natively.
    ...or does Apple offer a different web page software that can do this?
    As far as I know, Apple has no s/w offerings of that sort. Bear this in mind when considering e-commerce and the MobileMe Service:
    “The Service is designed for personal individual use and is not intended to be used for commercial business purposes, including, but not limited to, transacting online sales or software distribution via an e-commerce site.”
    ...Quoted from the MobileMe Terms of Service. PayPal buttons can be inserted into iWeb pages via the HTML Snippet window — but you may want to consider more complete alternatives such as this:
    http://blog.weebly.com/2/post/2009/05/announcing-weebly-e-commerce-features.html
    ...You could hyperlink from iWeb to your "shop" there and there's even a way to hyperlink to it from iWeb's navigation bar.

  • Using iweb to create a webpage but wrong fonts are displayed

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a front page for the followoing site using iweb '09. Whenever i publish the site the font that appears is totally incorrect. However when I view the site on my imac, it looks as it should do.
    I've seen numerous threads on this but the fixes haven't seem to work for me. The font I am trying to use is VAG Rounded.
    Can anyone help?
    <Link Edited By Host>

    Your font is most likely not available on any computer :

    To display custom fonts on webpages read this :

    Then perhaps this :

    Then learn about embedded fonts :

  • PLEASE HELP!! I've used iWeb to create multiple sites, all published to third party servers.  The very last site I made changes to is showing up in any domain file I open - despite their different names and locations on my iMac.  I just switched to Lion.

    Please HELP!!  I just switched to Lion.  I have created multiple websites using iWeb  3.0.4 and despite my having saved their 'domain' files in various locations and using different filenames, upon opening the domain files I keep getting the very last site I published.  All the sites were published to third party servers.  The domain files (still have a preview that look correct and have different file sizes) but keep going back to the last site published. HELP ME PLEASE!! Are the old files still available?!!

    In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • I have a domain name with go-daddy can i use iweb to create my page?

    I'm trying to help a friend set-up a website.  he has a domain name with go-daddy but hasnt set-up the web page at all can i use iweb and upload it to the domain name he already has bought?  I'm a first time iweb user please help!!

    Your friend needs both a domain name and a web hosting account in order to get his website online.  If he has both with GoDaddy.com then yes, you can create and upload the site. 
    If he has purchased only a domain name he'll need to get a hosting service.

  • How to use/import CM Tags in html email templates?

    Hi guys
    I would like to start designing html email templates and send mailings for my clients. Can anyone tell me how I can easily insert CM tags so that the template will be easily adapted to the content of the certain email in the email manager like Campagin Monitor?
    Thanks!
    Bob

    Hi Nancy O.
    I would like to design my own templates and instantly insert the right tags and so, so that I can import the templates to websites like Campaign Monitor and my clients can open templates when sending new mailsings.
    The goal is to have my own designed templates for my clients with their layouts which they can use for their mailings. Also extending the newsletter (adding new article fields) should be possible etc.
    Can you tell me what codes I need and what I should pay attention to in order to design nice templates that will appear correctly in nearly each mailbox?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Is it possible to create an HTML email newsletter using Muse?

    I'm creating a newsletter for my business and have tried many newsletter online newsletter providers (MailChip, Behance, etc.) but none of them really let me create something freely - I have to stick to their templates which aren't possible to manipulate.
    I was hoping I could use Adobe Muse to create my newsletter to be sent out to my mailing list. I should say I don't know HTML - I just want to be able to export it and send it out without having to use any coding.
    Thanks in advance,
    Zoe

    Hi Zoe
    Muse doesn't output HTML optimized for e-mail output.
    Muse output is designed for the requirements of popular web browsers on desktops, tablets and phones. The requirements for generating HTML/CSS that works well across popular e-mail readers are very different.
    Thanks,

  • Using iWeb to create a site uploaded to another domain via Fetch or the lik

    I'm sorry for the like subject line, but I don't know what to call what I'm looking for.
    I create my website in iWeb, publish to a folder, put it up on my personal domain using Fetch. (www.cynfrank.com) My domain is hosted by a company called Vario.
    My question is how do I add things like a feed from my LibraryThing account that features books from my library on my site? It gives me an HTML code, but I don't know where to put it in iWeb so it works. When I got this same type of code for a video I was posting in a blog entry, I simply dragged and dropped it on my iWeb page, published, put and it worked. It was like magic. Maybe I'll try it.
    Also, how do I put iTunes playlists on my site? Drag and Drop as well?
    CindyLoo

    Thanks for the quick reply. However, after I posted, I was playing around in iWed and stumbled onto the Widget and suddenly, like magic, it dawned on me what it does.
    As for the iTunes playlist....just drag and drop. It's like magic! But then isn't that the standard us MacUser have come to expect from our computers?
    Thanks again.

  • Using iWeb to create an ebay listing

    Hi,
    I am new to iWeb, but love the way it looks, so I decided to create one of my eBay listings in it, and embed it with an 'iFrame' into ebay. Problem is, eBay does not allow iFrames any longer. I was able to pull it in using the 'object data' code but it only shows up on Mozilla and Firefox.
    Here's my question:
    I really don't know much about coding, but is there a way to just create some simple html with iWeb so that it would show up in any html editor (like eBay's). When I copied and pasted the html from my iWeb page into the eBay editor, some of it showed up and some didn't. Is this because there are css files that need to be included in the code?
    Any help would be great. I hope my question made some kind of sense. "-)

  • Can I use RH to create an HTML newsletter?

    My company produces a periodic electronic newsletter, which
    is mailed to subscribers as an HTML file embedded in an e-mail
    message. The content is typically written by an employee in Word,
    after which I edit the document and transfer the contents to the
    HTML file, which I edit in Macromedia HomeSite+.
    Because some of these newsletters are long, the product
    manager suggested reducing each article to a short introductory
    blurb followed by a "click here" link that would reveal the rest of
    the story. (We all recognize this a a drop-down text hotspot, of
    course.) I got the bright idea that I'd try to create this
    functionality in RoboHelp. Not only could I include the hotspots,
    but I'd be able to edit content in a WYSIWYG interface rather than
    HomeSite's code view, which makes cutting and pasting laborious,
    given the inline formatting I typically need to apply.
    Well, I managed to create a nice template for the newsletter,
    and I defined all the styles I needed, and I created the necessary
    hotspots. When I generated WebHelp and viewed the results, the file
    looked great. But when I attempted to send the HTM file to myself
    via Outlook Express (Message | New Message Using | Web Page...), I
    ran into two problems:
    1. The styles I had defined were not used.
    2. The hotspots didn't work.
    I fixed the first problem by pasting the contents of the CSS
    file into the HTM file. But I can't get the hotspots to work in the
    e-mail message: when I click a hotspot, my browser attempts to open
    the information in a new window, which doesn't work.
    So:
    1. Has anyone tried to use RoboHelp like this?
    2. Can anyone fix the hotspot problem for me?
    3. If RH isn't a good tool for the job, can anyone point me
    in a different direction?
    Thanks.

    Probably you need some javascripts that appear in the WebHelp
    output folder. You'd have to zip up and send the entire package,
    and the reader would have to unzip and extract it before opening
    the topic.
    You could send the WebHelp output html page file alone. It
    can't have any graphics or require other external resources. That
    means your dropdowns won't work, unless you embed the appropriate
    javascripts in the file, which would be a hard thing to do.
    As you discovered, you must embed the style sheet within the
    file, or at least enough of it to take care of styles you applied.
    Another angle would be to make all text Normal style and
    apply in-line or embedded styles for variations. The RH help topics
    talk about this. It probably will read OK, depending on the
    reader's browser.
    Here's a way to do it without dropdowns or popups:
    Put headlines only, or the first few paragraphs at the
    beginning of the newsletter. You could use the template to organize
    them. Insert a bookmark (anchor) with each item (explained later).
    Add the "more info" sections -- call them "jumps" -- after
    all the headlines, or after the template, with a bookmark at the
    beginning of each one.
    With each headline include a "Read more" text link to the
    appropriate bookmark below. At the end of each jump, insert a "Back
    to top" text link to a the appropriate bookmark.
    Hope this helps.
    Harvey
