Figure 16-5. Building a Welcome page from a template in iWeb ’08
CHAPTER 16 iLIFE ‘08 277
Once you select a theme and a template to begin with, you simply start editing the template
with your content, replacing the placeholder content as you go. To replace images, you can select
any image from the Media Browser or the Finder and drag it over an image placeholder. To
replace text, just select it and start typing. Most of the image and text boxes on the page can be
selected and relocated by clicking an item and moving it where you want it to go. If you’d like to
insert additional content, iWeb allows you to insert Web widgets, which includes Google Ad
Words, Google Maps, and the ability to insert any HTML code into your page.
As you add pages to your web site, iWeb keeps track of the new content and automatically
updates the links on all the related pages on your web site.
When you have done what you want, iWeb will automatically publish your web site, either
directly to your .Mac account or to a folder on your computer that you can host from your computer
or upload to another web site.
NOTE Recently, Apple started offering domain web hosting through .Mac. This will allow you
to use iWeb to publish web sites available at www.yourdomain.com through .Mac. The one
downside to this is that, as of yet, this only covers web hosting—for e-mail services for that
domain, you will have to look elsewhere.
