Thanks for trying, Nancy, but I am comitted to my current platform (loyalty good or bad?) I'm an accomplished artist, but not so interested in web programming, so Muse allowed creativity without technicality. The few sites I have remaining, I would like to keep going if possible (Client does not want to change the look, and I am not up to recreating them on another platform.) I have tried Wordpress in the past, and have been able to do some simple things, but the depth of the Wordpress ecosystem is confusing at best. Every plug-in requires its own, payment, password, updates, upgrades. And will it work with any other plug in?? So if you want to have web design be your major thing, well maybe OK. Happy New Year again. I guess I will go back to seting up my new computer and just fire up the old Trashcan (Late 2013) when I have to update a Muse site.

It's Now 2023 and I think maybe I have hit the Muse wall because I just got a new computer. For some sites I have been using WO/code. https://www.wocode.com/ A couple of others are still running on Muse. I came her to find the download link for the old software, but the installer does not work on my new system Ventura 13.0. I am debating weather the Protools link (recommended elsewhere on this site is worth trying) I have enjoyed WithoutCode. I like the people running the latform. It is a bit blocky but has been working for the small sites I do. I really miss Muse.

I would pay good money for something like Muse - and yes we know it's ALL about money.

Thank you, for still supporting Muse Users. I know Muse is EOL and I have been looking hard for a replacement, but NOTHING that I have found will allow me to do what I have done with Muse with anywhere near the speed and creativity. No Thank You to Dreamweaver! I tried that at the beginning and as a graphic designer - my mind just does not work that way. I can do a beautiful site for a small non-profit in no time at all and bring to bear all my photoshop/page layout skills. It does not bother me at all that I cannot expect to be programming big complicated sites in the future, but it is really frustrating that a tool that is perfect for me is being feathered by a company that I have supported since Photoshop one! (I have the poster) I have used After Effects since CoSA and Indesign since Pagemaker but there is no path for me after Muse. Please Adobe . . . have some integrity and sell/give Muse to someone who will upgrade it.

I don't really know what to call this question, so I'll describe my situation. I produce a quarterly web magazine - The Isle - Cover- from Freeport LNG-- It has a desktop version and a phone version, I publish to Business Catalyst. When the Quarterly issue is replaced by the new issue, I need to archive the old issue. There is a list of links on the archive page to old issues. I had been uploading the out of date issues to a special folder i.e.: http://www.theisle-gallery.com/sum16/index.html and that's working except now the client wants me to link from the archive to individual articles within the issues. That also works, except it is not reliably directing to the phone version in the back issues. The phone version now loads the desktop version when I do this. This index of old articles is very important to my client. Does anyone have an opinion about best practices for this situation? I would love to be able to paste copies of full sites into an "archive" document with the index page used as the main page on a new site at a new location. But I would have to copy and paste each Muse page individually, for the entire list of back issues. Hopefully I am missing something. Thank You. Barbara P.S. I am really enjoying the collect feature you added a while back. It has made my life much easier!

Just got off the Chat with Adobe. I am on a Mac running Yosemite. They made me create a new user account via remote control support, even though I told them I did not want to end up with an extra admin account. From what I can gather this is a mysterious problem that is in some way related to permissions (they told me to contact APPLE - which does not make much sense to me as Windows users are here, too) If you create a new ADMIN account and install all your apps that way, then your old account can use the apps but they did not solve the issue so that my updates will be smooth - I think I will have to always install via the other Admin account until the problem is fixed. I wish they would just admit the problem here on the forums so that we would not all be beating our heads against the wall over and over again. Here is the pertinent paragraph from my support chat Date: 2015-08-12 23:45:53 UTC To: Everyone From: 24717356 Once you updated all the apps through new admin account. Log in to your normal account. All the apps will work without any issue. ---------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2015-08-12 23:46:37 UTC To: Everyone From: Barbara Mills And the next time the aps are updated I will have to do the SAME thing all over again. That is not acceptable. ---------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2015-08-12 23:47:48 UTC To: Everyone From: Barbara Mills Is Adobe trying to fix this issue? ---------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2015-08-12 23:49:35 UTC To: Everyone From: 24717356 Adobe is trying to fix this issue. Has anyone here fixed this issue? - has anyone talked to Apple about this problem?

What the heck does this mean? I am the only administrator on my machine, the only user. What does it even mean to create another account? This does not make any sense. Why can't we get support on this?

My site is working well. My domain nam is correctly directed. The problem I have is smaller than that. my domain name is sewniceandeasy.com When I published the site, I named it sewnice&easy in the box labeled "Site Name" - this is just the name of the site for Muse, i believe. It does not seem to be connected to the actual domain name. Anyway, little did I know that when I put the ampersand in, it would save it as "&" giving me the wierd site name sewnice&easy. I understand that this does not really affect the workings of anything, and as I say, my site is working well. When I publish changes they are uploaded fine. But that site name bothers me. Is there a way I can change it without messing everything up? Thanks, Barb

So, you want topical categories, back index of months, RSS feed. You want Muse to be able to handle a couple of hundred pages, all linked chronologically. Now they know what you want. I need that linking feature, too - I want Muse to be able to link pages automatically in a series. I have 41 pages in the site I'm working on now that I need to link in sequence. I want Muse to be able to handle lots of pages, too. And keywords are cool. If we post it here maybe the widget writers will come. After having used Blogger and Wordpress and wasting lots of time sizing pictures to my liking and trying to get captions to work and converting pictures to formats that Blogger and Wordpress accept and uploading to their picture "systems", and not being able to control type well, making an extra page and linking some stuff on the sidebar seems an alternative that I cannot dismiss out of hand. I think I could do it pretty quick in Muse. Quicker than getting a nice looking caption in Blogger. Cheers, Barb

I have really been enjoying Muse and find little to complain about. I can see where a blogging feature would be useful, but it also seems to me that it would be pretty easy to just create a template, add a menu item "My Blog" and pretend you had a blogging feature. That's why the Adobe person was asking what features you were looking for. For example, do you need to be away from your desk when you blog and submit by phone? Or is it just that you don't think the look and feel would be the same? Are you looking for the sidebar functions - Keywords, List of posts by date? I'm betting these widgets will be out soon if not already. BTW I am uploading content for some clients who are using services other than Business Catalyst and it is working pretty well with FTP upload (The FTP upload is a little tempermental)
