I have recently (actually already a long while ago) joined Twitter and so I invite you all to follow me. Twitter is actually the reason of why this blog hasn’t been receiving any kind of new content. It just takes to incredibly long to post something. Twitter and Tumblr (my Tumbelog) are just more appropriate for lazy people like me. I hope to see you on Twitter and Tumblr.
I have just released an update for iMap. It includes the following changes:
If you have problems updating, let me know. Keep in mind it’s always best to run the latest version of iMap.
Are you one of those users who would wish to have comments integrated right into your site but you are publishing to a folder and so you can’t do that? Or you want to have comments not just on your blog posts? You want to let people comment on your latest photo album? With this tutorial, you will be able to do this.
With the help of JS-Kit and iTweak this is all possible.
If you want to see how the outcome looks, then head over to the demo.
Apple recently introduced a brand-new version of it’s iLife. Incidentally, the new iLife does include a new version of iWeb (who would have thought that?). Although there are only a few minor updates, some of the new features change things in relation to iMap and iTweak.
Until now, iWeb had two publishing options: MobileMe or a folder. These two options remain. Apple however added a third option: publishing via FTP to your server. Houston we have a problem! All those who used to just publish to a folder and then upload to a server, will now upload directly using FTP. That is good for the iWeb-user, bad for iTweak/iMap user.
When the files go directly to the FTP server, without being published to a folder, iTweak/iMap can not edit the files and so fail to be functional. Neither iMap nor iTweak support the editing of files via FTP. Therefore, if you wish to use iMap/iTweak, then you must publish to a folder and continue to upload via an external client.
Of course, it does quite suck if you have to still publish to a folder even though iWeb now supports direct “FTPing.” We are already working on a way for iMap and iTweak to edit the files via FTP. We however have no plan when the updates for this will arrive. Stay put; subscribe to the blog for updates.
If you have been using MobileMe all along, you shouldn’t be running into any problems at all.
If you watched the tutorial on how to use iMap, then you’ll probably going to like this.
This is the second part to the tutorial. It explains how to use iMap in conjunction with the Google Webmaster Tools: how to get a Google Webmaster Tools project, how to verify your site and add a sitemap. All this will ultimately help you to show up on Google.
If you haven’t watched the first tutorial just yet, then go ahead and do that first.
