Creating a Website With iWeb
This tutorial takes you step by step through the process of creating a simple website. What Youll Learn
In this tutorial, youll learn to do the following: Create a website that has three different webpagesa welcome page, a photo page, and a blog (a web journalsee What Is a Blog? on page 16). Add a link to another website. Add an Email Me button, so that your visitors can contact you. Publish your website, so that anyone with access to the Internetor only people who know the user name and password, if you set it up that waycan visit it.

Before You Begin

To make it easier to complete this tutorial, you may want to print it. In many tasks shown in the tutorial (and in iWeb Help), you need to choose menu commands, which look like this: Choose Edit > Copy. The first word after Choose is the name of a menu in the iWeb menu bar. The next word (or words) indicates the item to choose from that menu.
Make sure you save your work from time to time by choosing File > Save. You can stop doing the tutorial at any time by choosing iWeb > Quit iWeb. You can save the work youve done so far and continue whenever you want.
Overview of Creating a Website
Step 1: Plan your website. A website consists of one or more webpages, which can contain text, graphics, video, audio, and more. The number of webpages in your website depends on what you are going to use the website for. Do you want to share photos? Write a travel journal? Display a portfolio of your work? With iWeb, its easy to modify, add, or remove webpages at any time, so you dont have to decide every detail before you begin. Its also easy to create multiple websites so that you can, for example, have a personal website, a website for a.Mac group, and one for your business. Step 2: Create your website. In this step, you assemble and organize your website contentwrite your text, add photos and other graphics, set up links to other websites, and so on. Step 3: Publish your website on the Internet. Your website isnt visible to the public until you publish it. With iWeb, this step is as easy as clicking a button. Note: To complete step 3 using the instructions in this tutorial, you need at least a trial.Mac membership and enough available iDisk storage space for your webpages, including your media (the movies, photos, and so on that you add to your website). If you dont have a.Mac account, you can sign up for one (a free 60-day trial or a paid yearly membership) by opening System Preferences and clicking.Mac (or by going to www.mac.com). If youre not sure exactly what you want to put on your website (step 1), you can still go through the tutorial and learn how to use iWeb (step 2). Then, when youre ready to go live with your website, you can publish it (step 3).

Chapter 1 Creating a Website With iWeb

Create a Website

To get started, youll create a website that consists of one page (a welcome page). To create a website: 1 If iWeb isnt open, double-click the iWeb application icon in your Applications folder. If iWeb is already open, and you dont see the template chooser shown below, click the Add Page (+) button at the bottom of the iWeb window (or choose File > New Page). In the template chooser that appears, click Freestyle on the left. In the thumbnails on the right, the Welcome template should already be selected for you (the selected templae has a yellow border around it).

Select a template here.

Select a webpage type here.

2 Click Choose.

About Templates
Each time you add a new webpage, you select the pages template. A template is a predesigned page with placeholders for text and graphics; you can easily replace the placeholders with your own text and graphics. iWeb provides templates designed for specific categories of webpages. For example, the Photos templates contain placeholders for photos and captions. By using the iWeb templates, you can create an attractive webpage without having to do any design work. Your website can use as many or as few of the templates as you want, depending on the content you put on your site.
Now you have your first webpage. The iWeb window looks like this:
The navigation menu All of the pages in the site are listed here. Visitors click these links to view your webpages.
The site organizer All the websites (globes) and webpages (rectangles) you create with iWeb appear here. Click a page to display it in the webpage canvas. The webpage canvas This area shows what the webpage looks like. Edit the webpage here customize the text, add graphics and movies, arrange items on the page, add links, and more. Placeholder text and graphics Click the placeholder heading to type a title for your webpage. Click the body text to replace it with your own.
The Site Organizer As you create websites and webpages, they appear in this list. Click the small triangles to show or hide pages in a site (or sub-pages in a blog). You can rearrange pages by dragging them in the list. You can even drag a page from one website to another. The Webpage Canvas The webpage canvas is where you create the content for a webpage. You can easily drag graphics files, movie files, and sound files to the canvas to add them to your website. The webpage canvas comprises four different regions. For more information, see Moving objects around on the webpage canvas in iWeb Help.

The iWeb Toolbar The toolbar at the bottom of the iWeb window gives you one-click access to many of the actions youll perform as you create webpages.
Add text and predrawn shapes that you can modify. Open windows to add photos, songs, or movies; adjust images; perform tasks; change colors and fonts.
Add Page button Add a new webpage to a website. Publish your site to.Mac to make your website available on the web. Visit published websites. Move objects up or down in a stack. Mask (crop) or unmask images.
The Inspector Window The inspectors make it easy to perform many tasks in iWeb. To open the Inspector window: m Click the Inspector button in the toolbar (or choose View > Show Inspector).
Click the buttons at the top of the window to open the different inspectors.
Quitting and Reopening iWeb
When you quit iWeb, all of your webpages and websites are saved with the application. To work on your sites later, open the iWeb application; your sites and pages appear in the site organizer. Closing the iWeb window (by choosing File > Close or clicking the red close button in the upper-left corner of the window) is the same as choosing iWeb > Quit iWeb.
Add Your Own Text and Graphics
Each template contains text boxes, with placeholder text, for different elements on the page. If you click the text, the entire text box is selected and selection handles appear. You can drag the text box to reposition it, and you can resize it by dragging a handle.
Drag one of these handles to resize the text box.
Experiment with adding your own text. To replace placeholder text with your own text: m Click the placeholder text and start typing. When you start typing, the placeholder text is replaced by what you type.
Tip: Choose View > Show Layout to see all the text boxes. Similar to placeholder text, graphics placeholders indicate the size and placement of graphics in a template. If you click one, selection handles appear so that you can resize the placeholder. You can drag your own image to the placeholder to replace it.
About Graphics: Inline Versus Fixed Objects
There are two ways to place an object (including photos and other graphics) in relation to text: as an inline object or as a fixed object. Inline objects are inserted within text and get pushed along as the text grows. Fixed objects are inserted outside of text boxes. You can drag a fixed object anywhere on the page and it wont affect text or be affected by text (or other objects). If you place an object inside a text box, it must be an inline object. You can wrap text only around inline objects. For more information, see the topics in Working with shapes and other objects in iWeb Help.

To add a blog entry: 1 In the site organizer, click Entries. 2 Click the Add Blog Entry button. The date appears automatically above each blog entry. You can give each blog entry its own title. To change the title of a blog entry, do one of the following: Double-click the placeholder title text and type the title. Double-click the entry in the Title list and type the title. To edit a blog entry: m On the Entries page, click an entry in the Title list. The entry appears below the Title list so that you can edit the entry. For more information about creating blogsfor example, how to change the length of the excerpts and import podcastssee the Creating blogs and podcasts topics in iWeb Help.

Organize Your Website

iWeb automatically creates a navigation menua table of contents that appears on every page of your website. Users click a page title in the navigation menu to go to that page. You determine the order of items in the navigation menu by rearranging pages in the iWeb site organizer.
The navigation menu on each page of your website updates automatically when you reorder pages in the site organizer.
Drag pages in the site organizer to reorder them.
The first page in the site organizer is the websites start page (the first page visitors see). To make a different page the start page, simply drag it to the top of the list, just below the website.
When you add a new webpage to a site, iWeb automatically adds a link for it to the navigation menu. You can prevent a page from appearing in the navigation menu using the Page Inspector. For more information, see Setting up the navigation menu (table of contents) in iWeb Help.
Deleting Webpages and Websites
You can delete a webpage or website at any time by selecting it in the site organizer and pressing Delete. (The content is permanently deleted unless you choose Edit > Undo Delete immediately.) When you delete a webpage, it is automatically removed from the navigation menu. A website must contain at least one webpage, so if you try to delete the only page in a site, the template chooser appears. If you already published a website to.Mac, deleting the site or one of its pages in iWeb doesn't delete it from the web. Your website on.Mac is updated the next time you publish another site using iWeb. When you delete a published website (and dont republish a site with the same site name), anyone who tries to visit the site (by typing in the URL or using a bookmark) sees a message that the site couldn't be found. For more information, see Unpublishing a site in iWeb Help. Rename a Website or Webpage When you add a new website or webpage, iWeb gives it a default name; you can rename it at any time. The site name appears in your websites URL: http://web.mac.com/YourMemberName/iWeb/SiteName The page name appears at the top of the visitors browser window:

The webpage name you specify here appears in the title bar of the browser window when someone visits your website.
To rename a webpage or website: m Double-click the name in the site organizer and type the new name. If you hear a beep, you cant use the character you typed.
For website and webpage names, avoid non-Roman characters, spaces, tabs, and returns. Other charactersincluding backward slash (\), brackets ([ ]), exclamation point (!), at sign (@), number sign (#), dollar sign ($), ampersand (&), asterisk (*), and colon (:)are not recommended. Using these characters may result in names with strange numbers in them. For more information, see the topics Renaming a website and Renaming a webpage in iWeb Help.

Add Links

On any of your webpages, you can add hyperlinks that your website visitors can click to open: Another webpage on any of your iWeb sites. Drag the page you want to link to from the site organizer to the webpage canvas. Another website. In Safari, select the website URL (in the address bar at the top of the browser) and drag it to the webpage canvas. You can also add links to open a file or a song in the iTunes Music Store. For more information, see the hyperlinks topics in iWeb Help. To provide visitors with a way to contact you, insert an Email Me button on any page by choosing Insert > Button > Email Me. When visitors click the button, theyll see a new email message addressed to your.Mac email address. (If you dont publish your site to.Mac, the address on the Me card in Address Book is used.) You can specify a different address using the Link Inspector. For more information, see the hyperlinks topics in iWeb Help.
You Can Turn Anything Into a Hyperlink
In addition to creating text hyperlinks, you can make any image, photo, or shape initiate one of the actions available in the Link To pop-up menu in the Link Inspector. For example, you could insert an arrow shape and then make it a link that visitors can click to go to the next page. For information about creating these kinds of hyperlinks, see Making an object a hyperlink in iWeb Help.

Publish Your Website on the Internet
In this section of the tutorial, youll publish your website to.Mac so that others can visit your site. To publish your site to.Mac, you must have at least a free trial.Mac membership. You (and others) can access your iWeb website until the trial period expires; as soon as you become a.Mac member, you can publish your site site again. To get a free or full.Mac membership, visit www.mac.com. To publish your website to.Mac: m Click Publish (or choose File > Publish to.Mac). When you see the message that your site has been published, you can go to the site (in your web browser) by clicking Visit Page Now. To send an email notifying people about your website, click Announce. When you publish your website to.Mac, anyone who has access to the Internet can visit your site. People who know the URL can go directly to your website, or your website might appear as a search result (someone searching for your name on the Internet might find your website, for example). If you dont want your website to be visible to just anyone on the Internet, you can set up your website so that only people who know the user name and password can visit it. To make your site visible only to visitors who know the user name and password: 1 If the Site Inspector isnt open, click Inspector in the toolbar (or choose View > Show Inspector), and then click the Site Inspector button. 2 Click Password.
The Site Inspector button
3 Select the Make my published site private checkbox. 4 Type a user name and password in the fields. Everyone to whom you want to allow access to your site uses the same user name and password.
Important: Dont enter your.Mac user name and password; create a name and password that would be hard to guess (they dont have to be real words, but could be a combination of letters and numbers). 5 Publish your website by clicking the Publish button. When you click Announce, the email message includes the user name and password you specified. If you belong to a.Mac group, you can also publish a site so that only group members can see it. For instructions, see Publishing a site to a.Mac group in iWeb Help. If you dont publish to.Mac, you can also publish your website to a folder on your computer so that you can upload it to a server. For instructions, see Publishing a site to a server instead of to.Mac in iWeb Help.
If You Already Have HomePage Content on Your.Mac Site
If you have previously published webpages using HomePage, they are still available at: http://homepage.mac.com/YourMemberName Websites you create in iWeb are available at: http://web.mac.com/YourMemberName/iWeb/SiteName You may want to set up links on your HomePage sites to go to your iWeb sites, and vice versa. For instructions, see Add Links on page 20 or the hyperlinks topics in iWeb Help. Note: You cant edit HomePage sites in iWeb. When you publish a site, all the sites and pages you changed since the last time you published are published. In other words, you can't publish only selected websites or webpages; each time you click Publish (or choose one of the Publish commands in the File menu), your published websites will match the sites and pages in iWeb.

Next Steps

Congratulations! Youve completed the tutorial. You will probably want to further customize your website content, add more photos and other graphics, and include special elements such as an automatic visitor counter.

Learn iWeb

This tutorial takes you step by step through the process of creating a simple website. Overview of Creating a Website
Plan your website. Your first step is to decide what you want on your website. Do you want to share photos? Write a travel journal? Display a portfolio of your work? Your website will consist of one or more webpages that are linked together. They can contain text, graphics, video, audio, and more. With iWeb, its easy to modify, add, or remove webpages at any time, so you dont have to decide every detail before you begin. You may want to create multiple websites so that you can, for example, have a personal website and a website for your business. Create your website. After you decide how you want to use your website, the next step is to assemble and organize the website content. The iWeb templates make it easy to enter your text, add photos and movies, set up links to other websites, and so on. Publish your website on the Internet. After you create your website, you publish it so that others can visit it. With iWeb and a MobileMe account, this step is as easy as clicking a button. Note: To publish your website using the instructions in this tutorial, you need at least a free trial MobileMe subscription and enough available iDisk storage space for your webpages, including your media (the movies, photos, and so on that you add to your website). If you dont have a MobileMe account, you can sign up for one (a free 60-day trial or a paid yearly subscription) by opening System Preferences and clicking MobileMe (or by going to www.me.com).

If youre not sure exactly what you want to put on your website, you can still go through the tutorial and learn how to use iWeb. Nothing will be visible to the public until you publish your website. Later, when youre ready to go live with your website, you can publish it.
Step 1: Plan Your Website
iWeb provides themes and templates to help you create a beautiful site with a minimum of effort. Your website can use as many or as few of the templates as you like, depending on the content you want on your site. Each theme provides a different style, or look, for your site. A template is a page layout designed for a specific purpose, such as a blog, a podcast, or a photo album. Every template is available for each theme. Each time you add a new webpage to your site, you choose the pages theme and template. If you decide later to change the theme for a page, you just select the page in the sidebar and click the Theme button in the toolbar to choose a new theme.
Step 2: Create Your Website
Now that you have an idea of what you want to do, start by creating a website that consists of one welcome page. Youll add more pages to your website as you go through the tutorial. You can add pages in any order; its easy to rearrange them or change the theme of pages later. To create a website: 1 Do one of the following: If iWeb isnt open, click its icon in the Dock or double-click the iWeb application icon in your Applications folder. If iWeb is already open and you dont see the template chooser shown in step 2 below, click the Add (+) button at the bottom of the iWeb window (or choose File > New Page). 2 In the template chooser, click one of the themes on the left.

Chapter 2 Learn iWeb

This tutorial uses the Modern Frame theme.
Select a page template here.
Select a website theme here.
3 Choose a template on the right. The Welcome template is already selected for you (the selected template has a yellow border around it). 4 Click Choose. Now you have your first webpage. The sidebar shows your site and a Welcome page.

Adding Your Own Text

Each template contains text boxes with placeholder text for titles, headings, and body text. Youll replace the text on the page with your own text; you can move, resize, or delete text boxes to fit your content. To replace placeholder text with your own text: m Double-click the placeholder text and start typing.
When you start typing, the highlighted placeholder text is replaced by what you type.
Double-click placeholder text and type.
You can move text boxes to different locations on the page or make them larger or smaller to accommodate more or less text. To move or resize a text box: 1 Click the text one time to show the selection handles around the text box. 2 Click inside the text box and drag the text box to reposition it. 3 Drag a selection handle to resize the text box.
Drag one of these handles to resize the text box.
Experiment with adding your own text and moving and resizing text boxes. You can always choose Edit > Undo to reverse any actions you dont want to keep, until you publish your website. To see the borders of all the text boxes on the page: m Choose View > Show Layout to see all the text boxes.

Adding Your Own Graphics

The iWeb templates include placeholder graphics that are similar to placeholder text; they indicate the size and placement of graphics in a template. The easiest way to add graphics, music, and movies to your website is with the Media Browser. When you click the Media button in the toolbar, you gain instant access to your iTunes and iPhoto libraries. You dont need to open these applications to access their contents.
Click this button in the toolbar to open the Media Browser.
To replace a placeholder graphic with a photo: 1 Click Media in the toolbar. 2 Click Photos. 3 Choose the album or Event that contains the photo you want. 4 Locate the photo in the thumbnails at the bottom of the Media Browser and drag it on top of the placeholder graphic on your webpage.
The placeholder graphic disappears and your photo is now in place. When you click the photo, selection handles appear so that you can resize it. You can also drag a photo from the desktop, the iPhoto application, or a folder on your computer and place it on top of the placeholder graphic. Experiment with replacing placeholder graphics with your own photos, movies, or audio files using the Media Browser.

Inserting fixed and floating objects
If you want to place an object (including photos and other graphics) in the middle of text or somewhere that doesnt have a placeholder graphic, there are two ways to do it: as a fixed object or as a floating object. Fixed objects are inserted outside of text boxes. You can drag a fixed object anywhere on the page and it wont affect text or be affected by text or other objects. Floating objects are inserted within text and get pushed along as the text grows. If you place an object inside a text box, it must be a floating object. You can wrap text only around floating objects. For more information, see iWeb Help.
Adding Photos and Photo Albums
iWeb provides templates for pages that contain mainly photos and movies instead of text. The Photos template includes a photo grid that automatically sizes and positions each photo as you add it and provides a placeholder caption for each photo. It also includes a Play Slideshow button that your visitors can click to view your photos as a slideshow.
The My Albums template creates an index page for multiple photo and movie albums. Each album is represented on the page by one of the albums photos. Movies are represented by their poster frames. Visitors click a photo or poster frame to view the album or watch the movie. When visitors move their mouse over the album, they see a mini-slideshow. Note: You can add photos and movies to any page (not just pages created with the Photos or My Albums templates) by simply dragging them to the page. However, only pages created with the Photos or Movies templates can be added to the My Albums index page. For this tutorial, you will add a Photos page and a My Albums page to your website and add your photos and albums to them. To add a Photos page: 1 Click the Add (+) button (or choose File > New Page). 2 In the template chooser, select a theme in the list on the left. 3 Select Photos from the templates on the right, and then click Choose. The new page contains a photo grid with placeholder photos. 4 If the Media Browser isnt open, click Media in the toolbar and then click Photos. 5 Choose the Event or album that contains the photos you want to add. 6 Select the photos from the thumbnails at the bottom of the Media Browser. You can Shift-click multiple photos or Command-click photos that arent next to each other. 7 Drag the photos to the photo grid on the Photos page. A blue line appears around the photo grid when you drag the pictures over it. When you drop the photos on the photo grid, they replace the existing placeholder graphics. If you drag only one photo, all the extra placeholders in the photo grid disappear. Dont worry, thoughthe next photo you drag to the photo grid will be automatically formatted like the first one, using the same style and size. You can add up to 500 photos or movies to an album on a Photos page. 8 Click the placeholder text below each photo and type a caption. With your photos in place, now you can adjust the layout of the photos on the photo grid. Just drag the photos to rearrange their order.

When you click a photo, a Photo Grid window appears. Use the settings in this window to change the style of the frame for all the photos on the page, change the number of columns, turn captions on or off, and more. For more information about using these settings, see Changing the layout of photos on a Photos template in iWeb Help.

Choose a frame style.

Change the layout of photos on the photo grid.
While working in iWeb, select to view page numbers on paginated Photos pages, or view one scrolling page. This setting does not affect the visitors view.
If the number of photos in the photo grid exceeds the Photos per page setting in the Photo Grid window, iWeb divides the photo grid into multiple pages for your photos and adds page numbers and navigation arrows.
Page numbers and navigation arrows appear when there are more photos than the Photos per page setting.
Another way to organize your photos is to use the detail view. When you double-click a photo on a Photos page, the photo is enlarged so you can see it in more detail. Click the view buttons at the top of the detail window to see thumbnails of the photos in a photo browser across the top. When you click a thumbnail in the photo browser, the enlarged photo is shown below. Visitors to your website will also be able to see this view when they click a photo on your Photos page.
Click thumbnails to see the photo enlarged below. Click the arrows to see the previous or next set of thumbnails.
Adding Multiple Photo Albums to a Page If you have several photo or movie albums, you can create a My Albums page to provide a single index page for all of your albums. Instead of seeing many albums in your website navigation menu, visitors can click the single link for your My Albums page and instantly have access to all your albums. When visitors to your My Albums page move their mouse over albums, they can view a slideshow within the album frame without leaving the page. When they click the album, the album opens and they can view the pictures in a larger slideshow. To add a My Albums page: 1 Click the Add (+) button (or choose File > New Page). 2 In the template chooser, select a theme in the list on the left. 3 Select My Albums from the templates on the right, and then click Choose. The new page contains an album grid with a placeholder album. 4 Drag your Photos page from the sidebar to the album grid on the My Albums page. When you drag photo albums from the Media Browser onto the album grid, iWeb automatically creates a Photos page for the album and adds it to the My Albums index. To reorganize albums on a My Albums page: m Drag the Photos pages (under My Albums in the sidebar) into the order that you want them to appear. Click an album to see the Media Index window, where you can set the number of columns, adjust spacing, and make other adjustments to the layout of the page. You can change the transition effect between photos by choosing an option from the Album animation pop-up menu.

Use the Media Index window to change the layout and format of a My Albums index page.
Experiment with adding photos and albums and adjusting the layout of the Photos and My Albums pages. You can find more information in iWeb Help.

Creating a Blog

A blog is a journal thats posted on the web for others to read. The word blog is short for web log. When new entries are published, the previous entries are always available in an archive. Typically, blogs are organized so that the newest entries appear first.
iWeb provides two kinds of blog templates: Blog and Podcast. A podcast is an audio or video file that is like an Internet radio or TV show. You can produce your own podcasts and let visitors download them one by one, or they can download new episodes automatically through a subscription. You can add audio and video to both Blog and Podcast templates. For this tutorial, youll add a blog to your website and learn how to add new entries to it. To add a blog: 1 Click the Add (+) button (or choose File > New Page). 2 In the template chooser, select a theme in the list on the left (the tutorial uses Modern Frame). 3 Select Blog from the thumbnails on the right, and then click Choose. The first blog entry appears with the current date. 4 Double-click the placeholder text to create your own title and body text, or to change the date.
All of your entries are listed here. Click an entry to display it below.
Drag an image, audio file, or movie to this media placeholder. Type your entry title here. Type your blog content here.
When you add a page using one of the blog templates (Blog or Podcast), three icons appear in the sidebar: Blog is the page that your website visitors see. It contains excerpts (the opening text) from your most recent blog entries. Visitors can click Read more to see the whole entry.
Entries is where you create and manage your blog entries. Your website visitors wont see this page, but if they click an excerpt on the main blog page, theyll see the full entry. Archive contains all your entries, including those that dont appear on the main page. The blog templates include a link to the archive on the main blog page.

This page is the one your website visitors see. It displays excerpts of your most recent blog entries and a link to the archive.
You write and edit your entries by clicking Entries. The archive contains entries that dont appear on the main page.
To add a new blog entry: 1 In the sidebar, click Entries. 2 Click the Add Entry button. The new entry appears below the Title list with placeholder text and graphics. 3 Double-click the placeholder text to change the title and add your own text to the entry. 4 Drag graphics from iPhoto or elsewhere on your computer to replace the placeholder graphics. (If the Media Browser isnt open, click Media in the toolbar and then click Photos to access your photos.) If you make changes to a blog entry, such as changing the font or the background color, you can duplicate the entry the next time you add an entry and keep the same formatting. To create a new entry with your own formatting: 1 In the Entries list, select the page whose format you want to duplicate. 2 Choose Edit > Duplicate. 3 Type a title for the new entry and replace the text and graphics with your new content.
To edit existing blog entries: m Select the entry in the Title list and make your changes in the entry below the list.
Letting Visitors Add Comments to Your Website
If you publish your site to MobileMe, you can allow website visitors to add comments to your blog or photos. These comments are visible to anyone who visits your website. On blog pages, you can also allow visitors to attach fileswhich other visitors can downloadto their comments. To prevent automated programs from posting spam to your site, anyone who posts a comment is first required to type a displayed word. Make sure to delete material that is objectionable or for which you dont own the necessary rights. You can easily remove comments and their attachments anytime, using iWeb or any web browser. This gives you control over the content of your website. For more information about visitor comments and how to manage them, see iWeb Help.
Adding Links to Other Pages
You can put hyperlinks on your pages that visitors can click to open another website. To add a link to another website: 1 Open the page in iWeb where you want to add the link. 2 In Safari, open the page that you want to link to. 3 Select the website URL in the address bar at the top of Safari and drag it to the webpage canvas in iWeb. You can also add links to open a file or a song in the iTunes Store. For more information, see the hyperlinks topics in iWeb Help. Links in iWeb are turned off so you can edit them without accidentally clicking them. If you want to test your links, you can turn them on in the Link Inspector.

Link Inspector button

Select to turn text or objects into hyperlinks. Type the address of the webpage here. Turn hyperlinks on or off while you work in iWeb.
To make links active in iWeb: 1 Click the Inspector button in the toolbar (if you dont see it, click the right arrow in the toolbar and select Inspector). 2 Click the Link Inspector button, and then click Hyperlink. 3 Select the Make hyperlinks active checkbox. Important: This setting doesnt affect links on your published website; it only turns links on or off in iWeb so you can edit and test them. Adding an Email Me button Websites usually have a way for visitors to contact the owner or administrator of the site. You can add an Email Me button to any page in your website so that visitors can contact you. When visitors click the button, theyll see a new email message addressed to your MobileMe email address. If you dont publish your site to MobileMe, the address on the Me card in Address Book is used. If you want to use a different email address, open the Site Inspector (click the Inspector button in the toolbar, then click the Site Inspector button) and type your email address in the Contact Email box.
To add an Email Me button: m Choose Insert > Button > Email Me.
Turn Anything into a Hyperlink
In addition to creating text hyperlinks, you can make any image, photo, or shape initiate one of the actions available in the Link To pop-up menu in the Link Inspector. For example, you could insert an arrow shape and then make it a link that visitors can click to go to the next page. For information about creating these kinds of hyperlinks, see Creating a hyperlink in iWeb Help.

Adding a Map

You can easily add a map to your website so that, for example, customers can find your store or friends can find your party. The map is a graphic from Google Maps. To add a map: 1 Choose Insert > Google Map (or click Web Widgets in the toolbar and choose Google Map). 2 In the Google Map window that appears, type the address and click Apply. 3 Double-click the map and then use the zoom controls on the map to refine the amount of detail it shows. 4 In the Google Map window, select the checkboxes to set whether visitors to your website will see the zoom controls and the address bubble. 5 Drag the map selection handles to resize the map. 6 Drag the map to where you want it to appear on your page. To restore the original map view for this address, click Apply again. For information about adding other web widgets, videos, and Google AdSense ads to your webpages, see iWeb Help.

Organizing Your Website

iWeb automatically creates a navigation menua table of contents that appears on every page of your website. Users click a page title in the navigation menu to go to that page. When you add a new page to a site, iWeb automatically adds a link for it to the navigation menu. You determine the order of items in the navigation menu by rearranging pages in the sidebar. The navigation menu is automatically updated to reflect the new organization.
The navigation menu is updated automatically when you reorder pages in the sidebar.
Drag pages in the sidebar to reorder them.
The first page in the sidebar is the websites homepage and the first page that visitors see when they visit your website. To make a different page the homepage, simply drag it to the top of the list, just below the site name. You can create more than one website in iWeb and they all appear in the sidebar. The first site in the sidebar is also referred to as the start site. Note: You can prevent a page from appearing in the navigation menu using the Page Inspector. For more information, see Modifying the navigation menu (table of contents) in iWeb Help.
Deleting Webpages and Websites
You can delete a webpage or website by selecting it in the sidebar and pressing Delete. The webpage is automatically removed from the navigation menu and the content is permanently deleted unless you immediately choose Edit > Undo Delete. If you already published a website to MobileMe, deleting the site or one of its pages in iWeb doesnt immediately delete it from the web. The site or page is removed from the web the next time you publish using iWeb. A website must contain at least one page, so if you try to delete the only page in a site, the template chooser appears. When you delete a published website and dont republish a site with the same site name, anyone who tries to visit the site by typing in the URL or using a bookmark sees a message that the site couldnt be found. For more information, see iWeb Help.
Renaming Your Site or Page
When you add a new website or webpage, iWeb gives it a default name. The site name appears in your websites URL: http://web.me.com/YourMemberName/SiteName The page name appears at the top of the visitors browser window:
The page name appears in the websites URL and at the top of the browser window.
The site name you use here is part of your websites URL.
You might want to rename your site or any of your pages to reflect their content. Important: If you publish a site and later rename it, previously created links to your site (such as bookmarks created by your visitors) wont work. Be sure to notify your visitors if you rename your site, especially your blog or podcast subscribers. To rename a site or page: m Double-click the name in the sidebar and type the new name.
Step 3: Publish Your Website on the Internet

Now that you have a website with one or more pages organized the way you want, you can publish your website to MobileMe so that others can visit your site. First, make sure you have at least a free trial MobileMe subscription. You (and others) can access your iWeb website until the trial period expires; as soon as you become a MobileMe member, you can publish your site again. To get a free or full MobileMe subscription, visit www.me.com. To publish your website to MobileMe: m Click Publish (or choose File > Publish to MobileMe). When you see the message that your site has been published, you can click Visit Site Now to go to the site in your web browser. To send an email notifying people about your website, click Announce. If you purchased your own domain name (for example, www.example.com) from a service provider, you can use that URL for websites you create with iWeb.
To use your own domain name for a site published to MobileMe: 1 Choose File > Set Up Personal Domain. 2 On the MobileMe website, follow the onscreen instructions. Anyone who has access to the Internet can visit your site. People who know the URL can go directly to your website, or your website might appear as a search result. If you dont want your website to be visible to everyone on the Internet, you can set up your website so that only people who know the user name and password can visit it. To protect your site with a password: 1 If the Site Inspector isnt open, click Inspector in the toolbar (or choose View > Show Inspector), and then click the Site Inspector button. 2 Click Password.

Site Inspector button

3 Select the Make my published site private checkbox. 4 Type a user name and password in the fields. Everyone you want to access your site uses the same user name and password. Important: Dont enter your MobileMe user name and password; create a name and password that would be hard to guess. They dont have to be real words; you could use a combination of letters and numbers. Passwords are case-sensitive. 5 Publish your website by clicking the Publish button. When the message appears saying that your site has been published successfully, click Announce. The email message notifying people about your website will include the user name and password you specified.
Some of the features in iWeb cant be used with any hosting service other than MobileMe. If you publish your website to another hosting service, see Publishing to a server or hosting service other than MobileMe in iWeb Help.

If You Already Have HomePage Content on Your MobileMe Site
If you have previously published webpages using HomePage, they are still available at: http://homepage.mac.com/YourMemberName Websites you create in iWeb and publish to MobileMe are available at: http://web.me.com/YourMemberName Note: You cant edit HomePage sites in iWeb.
Making Changes to Your Website
Most websites need to be updated from time to time. If you have a blog or published podcasts, you will be making frequent changes. For these changes to be seen on the Internet, you must republish your site to update the webpages. When you click Publish (for MobileMe websites), all the sites and pages you changed since the last time you published are published again. In other words, you cant publish only selected sites or pages; each time you click Publish or choose one of the Publish commands in the File menu, your published sites will match the sites and pages in iWeb.
