IWEB

iWeb is a Mac iLife program that allows users to use pre-made templates to easily put together a personal website. iWeb has templates for adding images, text, blogs, and podcasts, as well as blank pages for the user to use as they please.

General Editing

To get started, open the program, and then hit cancel on the page that asks you if you would like to make a Mac account (you already have web space through �鶹��Ƶ in your Home Directory). A menu should pop up that allows you to choose the type of template you want to use, and which type of page you wish to start with. I recommend that you start with a Welcome page, and add other pages in addition to that as they are needed.

The general principle for editing a iWeb page is replace existing items with your own items. For text, this means clicking in an area that has text, highlighting said text, and typing your own in its place. For pictures (or other media objects), simply drag your own picture into a place where a template picture exists.

You may also add new items (pictures, text, etc), that were not a part of the template. To add new text, go to the insert menu and choose text. A box will appear in the middle of the page, you may use your mouse to move and re-size the box. To add a image, simply drag the image to the place you want it in the page. You may then use your mouse to re-size the image.

To add a new page to your site, go to the File menu and choose New Page. The window should then pop up that allows you to choose which template you want to use for your new page. It will automatically be linked to your other pages on the same site, with the navigation bar at the top of the page.

To add a link to another website, type in the text you wish to make into the link, highlight it, then go to the insert menu and choose hyperlink > webpage. A box will appear in the right-hand corner, type the URL to the webpage you wish to link to in the space provided.
