iWeb and Blogger

Question

iWeb and Blogger

I have been checking around on here to see if anyone has discussed using iWeb and a previously started Blogger page. Seems folks are touching on it but not quite discussing it fully. I even googled it and came up with nothing. Guess it's still too new?

Is it possible to post a blog made in iWeb to a Blogger page?

Is it possible to do it without having to host it on .Mac and then bounce the link?

Seems like there has to be a way but I am just not clever enough at this yet. Thanks in advance for any advice!

I asked the same question and got a couple of responses but there really hasn't been much discussion on this. I did try to drop in some of the html code into a blogger site when you go into the template area. I know nothing about HTML but what did occur was the general image of the iweb theme did appear on top of my old blogger site but not all of the photos came along for the ride. I'll go on a limb with this and hope I'm not way off but until someone who knows what they are talking about can verify this, I would take this with a teeny, tiny grain of salt:

You could probably integrate the theme of a iweb site into blogger but to get the blogger functionality into the site, that may take a bit of HTML programming skills - such as implementing comments, photos, and how new blog entries would be insterted. As I posted elsewhere, I'm a little less concerned than most about comments as should i make a site, it would be mostly a travel blog with photos, videos and perhaps some ramblings on places I've been but my biggest concern is .mac - it seems absurdly slow and I'm really not sure if I uplaod more than 3 or 4 travel videos that i'll have much storage space left - 1GB these days seems like a lot but it really isn't.

Yea, I am not too worried about any of the comments features or any of that sort of thing.

My biggest question is how does one get their Blogger site to redirect to the .Mac/iWeb site? I have tried mseeing around with the FTP server info in Blogger's settings but none of it seems to work. I am really just trying to get it so that as soon as people visit my usual Blogger site they are sent immediatly to my new iWeb site.

Any suggestions or tricks to get the Blogger FTP settings to work well with storing my iWeb files on my iDisk?

The standard way to redirect a page is to put an index.html file in the directory with the code

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://www.mydomain.com/mypage.html" />

in the "head" section. Is that what you are talking about?
