Path in menu

iWeb uses a JavaScript to generate the menu bar at the top of the page.

In Thingamablog you have to add a command tag for Thingamablog to interprete when it generates the pages.

Here's what needs to be changed.

This (partially shown):

'.', {"path-to-root": ""

becomes this

'$BaseURL$>', {"path-to-root": "$BaseURL$>"

Display the source of an iWeb page to see the JavaScript. It starts with new NavBar(.

Wrong MIME type stylesheet

When viewing this blog in Firefox/Flock/Camino on MobileMe, the pages didn't display correctly. While they do display correctly when published on Personal Web Server on my Mac and on another webserver I use.

I couldn't figure out why, since the pages are the same.

Then in Flock I noticed a menu-command to display the Error console. It said the stylesheet wasn't loaded because of a wrong MIME type.

I opened the file to see what was wrong, but couln't determine. So in a hunch, I duplicated the Blog.css file that iWeb creates. Copied/pasted/renamed the Blog.css code to styles-site.css and used that file.

Now the pages display correctly.
