I decided to use MobileMe as the host for my website, at a cost of $59.99 + 9.05 shipping through Amazon.ca.
The license number came by e-mail the next day. The reasons for using MobileMe were somewhat vague, the price was
right, it is fully integrated with Apple products, and I thought I might progress to other Apple products (e.g iPad, iPod, iPhone)
in the future. Also it appears to be well integrated with Reunion, the genealogy program I use.
Once I got over my learning problems I found it easy to use and update.
In case its useful to others, my experience with iWeb:
1. Location of File: The default location of the iWeb file is "you"/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.
But in order to make backup copies, and have separate files for more than one website, i moved my location to
my Desktop and renamed it.. Double Clicking on a Domain file makes it the working file.
2. iweb & iPhoto: iWeb assumes that you have only one iPhoto Library. But I have several libraries and to use
the Photos and My Album templates in iWeb then I have to have the relevant iPhoto Library as the current one,
and to have made an Album of the set of photos I need.
3. I wanted to add a comment to some photos in an Album template. The only way I was able to do this was to
set the "Caption lines" on the Albums page to say 2, and then add the comment as lines 3 & 4. This way it
only appears on the individual photo page. Did I miss another feature ?
4. Sometimes changes to a web page are not visible unless you Empty Cache in Safari.
5. When adding a Hit Counter in iWeb, your page must include a reasonable size Footer.
If you don't , then you cannot find the Hit Counter. I do not use Footers, so I had to add one,
add the Hit Counter, then move it to the main part of the page, then remove the Footer.
Thanks for taking the time to document and share your experiences with iWeb!
