week 8 - IWEB, Making a website in iWeb

Overview and features

Page design

iWeb allows users to create and design websites and blogs without coding, and includes a number of Apple-designed themes, each of which has several page templates with coordinated fonts and colors. Users can customize these pages by replacing placeholder text and by dragging and dropping their own photos and movies into the document. Templates include blog, podcast, and photo and movie gallery pages, as well as standard "Welcome" and "About Me" pages.

iWeb integrates with other applications in the iLife suite. The iLife Media Browser is a list of all the music, movies, and photos stored in iTunes, iMovie, and iPhoto. Content can be dragged from the Media Browser window and placed in the open page. Local files can also be dropped directly into the page.

Nine interactive "widgets" are included with iWeb. Among other things, these widgets let users embed YouTube videos and Google Maps, include a countdown timer and add RSS feeds.

Publishing

iWeb features built-in support for publishing to MobileMe, a suite of online applications developed by Apple, and to other third-party web hosts with FTP. Once account information is entered, users simply click a button to publish their entire website. iWeb can then publish updates to the user's Facebook profile to notify others of changes to the website.
