hikeNM......nice job! I really like your websites. I 'gotta go to New England!

AvSRoCkCO1067.....that is an iWeb template? Very nice! How do you use Yahoo to redirect to your website. Please explain.

Here is a website I created for the Annual Bazaar at my parish.....

http://web.mac.com/sjesser/iWeb/Fall Festival 2007/Welcome.html

You know, it's built off of the "White" iWeb template. But you're right - pretty much everything is built and designed from scratch.

With Yahoo, I just bought a url and used a "redirect" option in my preferences. I haven't done it for a long time, so I'm not sure about the exact steps, but it was pretty straight forward...:)
 
Sure, you can do that. Open the Font Browser, select and change the text to whatever font you like. You can also add or subtract any graphical elements you wish. The problem is, these changes need to be replicated on every entry or page, because iWeb doesn't have any method for saving the customizations as templates. This is the really big weakness of iWeb as it's currently designed.

this only works in the "entries" page, and I can't find a way to change it in the "blog" master page. So if I change the entries page to a different font the blog master page does not reflect that. same as the archive.

True story. You can edit everything on the master page except the fonts used for the entries. Put that on the wish list. :)
 
Wish list and question

I logged in looking for an answer to an iWeb question and found this Wish List - thanks! Many of my peeves/wishes have been mentioned.

A wish: I'd like to add a shopping cart on mine, but can't figure out how.

hikeNM, you may have the answer to my question: How to get text to wrap around an image. You've got it happening on one of your pages, but no version of the (very minimal) instructions has made that function work for me.

I've also gotten compliments on my site. To my eye it has a very iWeb template look, but most folks viewing it don't pick up on that - they just see clean design, in contrast to all the cluttered pages out there.

If I just had that shopping cart (crass, I know), I'd be pretty happy.

I definitely had to hunt to find out how to text wrap also. This is how I do it, and please, if there's anybody out there that knows a quicker, better way, please tell me!

First, write your text by using a text box given by a template, or by creating your own.

Second, drag the picture into the text, and, here's the catch, when you drag the picture into the text. Hold down the command(Apple) button. If you don't hold down the command button, iWeb doesn't know that the pic is going into the text and it lays it under the text.

Third, hightlight the pic and resize it to the size you want.

Fourth, with the pic still selected, click on the inspector. Click on "T" in the top middle. Click on Wrap in the top middle. Select "object causes wrap". Choose which direction you want the wrap to be.

And in four easy steps(or maybe eight or nine), you too have caused text to wrap around a picture. Maybe it's just me, but it seems wrapping text could be made a little easier.

Hope this helps!
 
A little easier perhaps: Drag the image into iWeb, then cut it. Place the insertion point into the text box, and paste. Then choose wrap from the inspector. Of course if you're dragging to a placeholder then this isn't necessary.
 
hyperlinks, make them editable by colors, etc. i'm working on a site right now, and i would like to have adjustable text to fit my site instead of the stupid gray that i have now. it's so lame, even the most basic editors have that. apple really dropped the ball on that one.

ability to have complex forms on the page.

comments if you're not using .mac. this should have been done so that non .mac users can do it almost as easily as the .mac users.

i think the rest of the complaints have been accounted for already.
 
Forums. sure, it'd be .mac only, but forums would be great. For desktop users who travel occasionally and post religiously to their blogs, some online (.mac) interface for updating blogs doesn't seem terribly unreasonable. After all, they did it with .mac mail!
 
About wrapping text - Thank You!

Sorry for the long delay on replying. hikeNM, I just tried your method (quoted below) and it worked great. Thanks, IJ Reilly, too, but I also am not getting "cut it" - plan to experiment more later.

As long as hikeNM's method works, I'm in business with wrapping.

Many thanks!
