Here is an answer to a recent question I received.
Just want to let you know I really like your site and what you have done with the WowSlider. I found you through the Apple forum and I’ve checked out some of your other work- very creative!!
I’m wondering if you might be able to point me in the right direction for how to use iWeb (’09 version) with wow slider. I still publish to Mobile Me which will change obviously in June – but for now, I would love add it to my site but I can’t get it to work. I have tried following the instructions from wow slider but I get tripped up when it comes to publishing – since I use mobile I’m not sure how to get it to work. I tried putting it in my disc folders per some of the suggestions I’ve seen on the Apple forums and in some articles – but so far no luck in getting it to work (I feel like an idiot cause I can’t figure it out!!). Since I really like how it looks on your site, I figure I’d come right to the source and ask how you did it!!
I appreciate your time and would welcome any ideas at your convenience. Thanks for the inspiration and I wish you the best in your next endeavor— which I look forward to seeing – whatever that may be!
In my case I uploaded a folder called “slideshow” to my server resulting in a page like this ” http://jeffnitschke.com/slideshow/ ” then I used the view source menu to see the html code & then selected all the text “command A on the keyboard”, copied, & pasted the code into a new text edit document “just because it is easier to read & edit then in the little snippet window in iWeb” then anywhere you have a href=” or src=”
you will need to add your mobileme info something like this ” <link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” http://web.me.com/MMeUsername/slideshow/engine1/style.css” media=”screen” />”
Hope this helps you out. For web hosting I use IX Webhosting they offer lots of 1 click installs like this wordpress blog and have excellent customer service. Their “expert plan” starts at just $3.95 a month and allows for unlimited domains & email address and also comes with 2 dedicated IP address’s. All plans also have unlimited disk space, data transfer, & bandwidth.
hope this helps
