Q: Publish site changes not working

I have iWeb '09, and when I make minor text and widget changes to pages and try to 'publish site changes' only to my hosted site...some changes make it and others don't. For example, I added an RSS subscribe widget and made some text formatting changes, and added a logo with hyperlink.

Everything made the upload but the text formatting & text addition changes. Do I have to publish the entire site again to get all these changes loaded? Why doesn't the software work like it's supposed to?

Mac Pro workstation, Mac OS X (10.6.2), FCP v5, iWeb '09

    Are you emptying the browser cache before visiting the published site?

    Are you using iWeb's built in ftp client to upload to your server? Other users have found that using Cyberduck or another 3rd party ftp client that can upload only changed files will work where iWeb fails. You'll have to publish your site to a folder on the hard drive and upload all of the files the first time. From then on, as long as you don't delete the contents of that folder, you can upload only the new or edited files.

    Web Site Maestro will do the same and optimize your files for faster downloading as well.

    I am having a sort-of similar problem. I am trying to use Cyberduck to update my Iweb website. I drag my desired folder into Cyberduck and then in my Iweb HTML Snippet box, type the web address. The following message comes up... "Forbidden. You don't have permission to access -------- on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to se an ErrorDocument to handle the request." I have successfully updated before... Any suggestions??

    I don't publish to a ftp server so don't know what to suggest. You should add the HTML snippet to the page before you publish the site to the folder and upload with CD.
