Are you hosting your iWeb site on your server? That means that you can’t use the built in comments feature in iWeb. It only works if you have a MobileMe membership. Well here comes iWebUnlimited to the rescue. Now you can get comments into iWeb no matter who your hosting your website with. Just follow the steps in this video and your set!
If your doing the iFrame way use this code below to create a blank HTML page:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /><title>Comments</title></head><body><!-- Add Comment Code Here --></body></html>

is there a way to get email notifications when you have a comment? whether in mobileme or the other services you mentioned?
Jeff, Both Disqus and Intense Debate offer that as a feature. MobileMe however does not, but iWeb will have a little red tick on the icon showing all the new comments (similar to Mail).
thanks. I will go ahead and try that.
hello, i paste and saved the Disqus code in .html via “text edit”. the issue is that when i uploaded to the server via cyber duck the universal code is not translated into the Disqus comment box. it works fine in the iweb snippet. any advice?
thanks,

:( whats a basic page setup, I tried making a .html and did not work.
http://www.greentagclothing.com/GT/comments/pagecomments.html
only this was shown: blog comments powered by Disqus
never mind it works again when i tried after 3 times. lol
I see you are using something called transit to upload to your server, is there anything built into iweb for me to do that because otherwise there is no way to add the iframes one, it would be greatly appreciated thanks.
Hello,
A couple of questions. I’ve been trying to add a comments section via your tutorial, but I am having some issues. I publish my site through FTP, and don’t know where all my web files are saved. How do I access them through Finder?
Also, I have a website with two different blogs currently running. If I want a comments section for each blog posting, does this mean that I have to do this for each blog entry I write?
Thanks
Erin
thank you!
Hello. I’ve tried to do the iFrame thing with both Disqus and Intensedebate, but I can’t get it to work. When i upload it to my server, it just shows the HTML code (try visiting http://therecovering.com/pagecomments2.html). Here is what I have uploaded. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
Comments
var idcomments_acct = ‘d3d26a08718fad744227f4de42319bb9′;
var idcomments_post_id;
var idcomments_post_url;
Take a look at your source code. You have the HTML code used as just text rather than actual code. Cocoa HTML Writer doesn’t seem to be doing it for you, you need to actually use an HTML Editor, take a look at my video tutorial. Try just using TextEdit or Coda, but my video tutorial explains how to do it.
Oh, sorry, when i pasted in html code here it didn’t stay that way. If you go to the webpage you can definitely see it though.
i was tryng to use the facebook comment plug in but the xfbml was a very confusing part for me. help?
Why is the style of the disqus comments all messed up. In the preview on the disqus site it uses nice fonts and when I integrate it in my page it uses Times New Roman or something similar.
Do you know a way to fix this… ?
Thanks in advance
Hi there,
I have followed the steps in the tutorial and they are great and easy to follow. I am trying to do the comments the iFrame way. However, when I publish the blank page (using text edit) with the code that is provided above (I have included the Disqus code) and publish it on the server, I am only able to see the code on the website.
As you mentioned I have saved it in html and also checked the box “Ignore rich text commands in HTML files”. But the website only displays the following: http://www.backpackertransfers.com/index/Comments/disqus_blog.html
What do I need to do so the page would show the Disqus features and not the html text?
Would you be able to help me?
I appreciate your help!!!
Thanks for this. Excellent info.
At 10:50 you zoom in and i cant see what you’re doing. Can you please fix this so I can understand what you are doing?
same problem as listed above me. Once u zoom in at 10:50 i can’t figure out what u are doing. Please help!
I am using disqus, but was told by disqus that iWeb HTML Snippet or iFrame is the cause of a problem I am having with different browsers. When comments are posted in Safari they are not visible in FireFox or Google Chrome or IE and vice versa. Is there a way to change this so no matter what browser you post from all views are can the comments?
