Deleting visitor comments and attachments

If you allow visitor comments and attachments on your website’s photos, blogs, or podcasts, you might want to delete some of them. For example, it’s a good idea to delete attachments that contain material for which you don’t own the copyright. To delete an attachment, you must delete the comment it’s attached to.

Using iWeb:

  1. Select the comment to delete:

    • To delete a blog comment, select the blog’s entries page by clicking Entries in the sidebar on the left of the iWeb window. Then select the entry in the Title list at the top of the page that contains the comment.

    • To delete a comment on a photo, select the photos page in the sidebar that contains the photo, and double-click the photo to go to its detail view.

  2. Click the Delete button (it looks like an X) next to the comment.

    If you’re connected to the Internet, the comment is deleted immediately from the website (you don’t have to republish). If you’re not connected to the Internet, the comment is deleted the next time you use iWeb while you’re online.

Using your browser:

  1. Connect to the Internet, and using Safari or another browser, go to the webpage that contains the comment you want to delete.

    If the comment is on a photo, click the photo from the photos page to go to the detail view.

    If the comment is on a blog entry, go to that entry.

  2. Click the lock icon that appears to the right of the Comments title.

  3. Log in to your MobileMe account.

  4. On the Manage Comments page, select the checkbox next to each comment you want to delete, and then click Delete.

    Comments are deleted immediately; you do not need to republish your site.

Important:Before posting anything to your website, make sure you own the copyright and other rights to what you or others are posting, or that you obtained all necessary permissions.
