iWeb 09: Publish Features

iWeb 09: Publish Features With the new release of iWeb 09, many new great features were added. Many of these were requested by iWeb 08 users. Particularly users that have there own web host rather then Dot Mac or Me Dot Com. Now iWeb 09 users can not only publish to there ME/Account but also to a specified folder & ftp/sftp account. Maybe one of the best features is now that when you update your site it only updates the site your working on rather then all of your sites, and to the selection you picked for it.

So if you build sites for others they no longer need to be on you Me/Account they can be saved somewhere else. Another great addition is the FTP upload directly within iWeb 09 is self. This is great if you don’t already have a ftp client of your choice to use.

Feel free to comment or leave your suggestions on iWeb 09.

Have Fun & Enjoy.

Using iWeb Blog or Podcast on Personal Host

Using iWeb Blog or Podcast on Personal Host, Here we will go over a few ways on how to take control of your iWeb site when using the blog or podcast pages on your personal host rather then on dotmac.

When you first create your site you will give it a name for example: Site.
Then you go ahead a create your first page which is usually named Welcome or what ever it may be. Now what we will do it take that first page & rename it to “index” minus the quotes. Go a head & create your pages as normal including your blog & podcast pages. Once you have completed that, we will need to modify a few things.

First of all on a personal host the Search & Comment section is not available to us. So do not include that in your pages. Then if your gonna use the RSS image use your own custom image rather then the default that is used by iWeb due to the way the URL structure is setup then manually add you RSS link to it based on your actual domain name. For example: http://www.My Domain Name.com/Blog/rss.xml same can be done with the Podcast RSS as well.

Now if you want to add a comment section to your blog or any page for that matter you will need to sign up for a free account with http://www.haloscan.com Set it up how you like and use their code to add the comment section to your pages. Now I have modified my code to be able to use any color for the text and pipe bar on my pages so I will provide it below.

< head >< script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.haloscan.com/load/Your-Haloscan-Name-Here"> < /script >

< a href="javascript:HaloScan('Put Page Name Here');" target="_self" class="style1">< script type="text/javascript">postCount('Put Page Name Here');< /script >< /a > |< /span > < a href="javascript:HaloScanTB('Put Page Name Here');" target="_self" class="style1">< script type="text/javascript">postCountTB('Put Page Name Here'); < /script >< /a >< /body >

Update iWeb Via SSH using RSYNC in Terminal In this tutorial I will show you how to use Terminal in MAC OS X to upload & update your iWeb Site via SSH using RSYNC in Terminal. This will save you lots of time in having to re-upload your entire site especially when you use you own host rather then a DOTMAC account to host you own iWeb Sites. Since many host will allow Syncing via FTP that is great but with iWeb when you publish your site to a folder then upload it to your site, then the problem comes up where all the dates have changed. Even though you may have only changed a file or two. Thus forcing you to have to upload everything again unless you know exactly what to upload your self. So by using the RSYNC in Terminal it will do all the dirty work for you.

Terminal Command Needed:

rsync -avz Sites/mysite/ username@webhost.com:webroot/

I will update this post at a later date with a larger preview of the video for download.
