Having had an article on my test site for months about using wrapping, I decided that it was time to bring it here.
So off you go, take a look, I hope that you like it

As I have been updating the site with the new look, I thought that I should finish off everything, including bringing the Inspector section up to date. this was one of the first things that I did, and I haven’t updated since iWeb 1.1 came out with new options in Inspector.
Therefore today I have once again written bits and pieces about Inspector, I cannot stress how useful it is for iWebbers to know what Inspector can do, it can save a lot of frustration. Take some time and have a play, create some dummy pages and tweak them with Inspector.
Good inspecting, Will!
Today I decided to add a simple html form towww.iWebUserSites.com, the result of which I published to the iWeb forum!
Then naturally I decided that I would write an article describing how I did it. I haven’t gone into lots of detail, more given references to other sites and an idea of what to do. Drop me a line if you want any help with forms and I will see what I can do.

After much playing I seem to have comments, oh no, no I dont. Wait, yes I do!
Well after much playing I hope that it is working again!
Not really sure what the criteria is so add remove comments, luck perhaps? Anyway, I now know that if you switch of comments and publish, you lose all of your previous comments!!

Many people get confused when it comes to redirecting their domain name to their .mac account. This spurred me to wirte a little article about setting up forwarding using goDaddy, who are a popular supplier of domain names.
Forwarding is something that your domain name host does, it is not something that is done from within iWeb.
Good luck redirecting!
Well I thought that I would write a little about my fun with the iWeb 1.1 update. Fun, did I really say that??
It hasn’t all been bad, I run a multitude of sites from my .mac account and like to play with iWeb, which is why I have this helpful site and rather dismal blog 
I also have multiple user acconuts on my Mac, only one of which is an Admin account, the rest are stanard, and these are the accounts I use on a day to day basis (I will go into the reasons on antoher day!). Suffice to say that I wasn’t aware of the iWeb update for 24 hours, it came, upset people and I read all about it. Not one to back down I decided to go for it.
The first thing I did was backup all of my domain files, I have one for each site. Then I stuffed them into an iWeb 1.0.1 folder, just so I knew where and what they are. Then I downloaded and installed the update, launched iWeb and republished this site, sweet! I am live with iWeb 1.1, next I added a couple more addresses to iWebUserSites and uploaded that too.
I was beginning to wonder what all the fuss was about. Anyway someone asked a question on the forum about creating a Comments only page, and I thought, I can do that, so I did, you can see the results on my Test_Site. Not the prettiest way of doing things, but a means to an end. So far 100% success, 3 out of 3, I am cookin’.
Next I moved onto my family site, 377MB of fat bloated domain file, next weeks task is to put it on a diet! Anyway this site contains loads of photos and it just didn’t want to play. I tried many tricks from the forum and none wanted to work. After 24 hours, I settled for an easy life and peaceful homelife, I installed iWeb onto my external drive (running Panther) and then upgraded to 1.0.1, I still had a copy that I kept when doing some testing for 11Mystics. Next, I deletedthe 1.1 site from my iDisk, hit Publish All to .Mac and up it went. No problems at all, first time every time!
Not to give up, I am back on this site about to publish with 1.1, if it goes up, then I will add comments straight away
Fingers crossed :-)
Having responded to a recent question on the iWeb forum saying that I was going to put a page up. I thought that I better had!
So I have added two pages, visit the How2 page to learn more:
The first being on how to redirect from a homepage page.
The second is a quick description of how to use a navigation link in iWeb to create a redirecting page/link.
So, over the weekend I bought a domain name for the database. Moved the hosting to my .mac account and forwarded and masked the address. I am just wanting to keep it tidy, after all you can see my .mac details at the top of this page.
Lots of responses and lots of work to add sites and even the new keyboard style search!
This was all done during the week starting 24 April, not just on the one day!
Someone recommended Taco HTML Edit on the iWeb forum, so I downloaded it. Immediately I moved Text Wrangler to number 2. I think that Taco is much easier to read, maybe I just didn’t set up TW properly, but I am one who likes simplicity I didn’
t look to. But Taco shows me the html just how I want to see it, I have even updated the tools page to reflect this.
Lots of things added today, new pages and new tutorials.
1. A links page to some other iWeb resources and cool sites.
2. A How2 page added, giving tips on how to do things.
a) MassReplaceIt – This is one great little app.
b) 2 sites on 1 Mac, yes you can do it
c) 2 macs and 1 site, read all about it here
3. New tabbed style browsing for the Inspector launched
