Designing Websites
If you’re going to build a website, it helps to have a plan. You can start by answering these two questions:

If you’re simply trying to share your photos, movies, and thoughts with friends and family, you may want to start with:
Using the Inspector Toolbar
Click the Inspector button (located at the bottom of the iWeb window) to display the Inspector window. The Inspector helps you:
Duplicating Page Templates
Duplicating a well-designed page and modifying it offers an easy way to give your website visual consistency and reduce the amount of layout work you have to do.
To create a page template:
Changing Font Size
The Inspector provides the best way to add and control text on your web page. However, if all you want to do is make some text larger or smaller, iWeb offers an easy shortcut.
To quickly change font size:
Adding a Google Map
To add interest for visitors, you may want to add a Google Map to one or more pages on your website.

Creating Photo Pages
Placing Photos Accurately
To make your website look great, make sure all your photos and text are lined up uniformly on your page. iWeb makes it easy to view the vertical and horizontal placement of photos and text boxes.
To view content alignment:
Use the guides to straighten and align photos with other content on your web page.
Downloading Photos
When visitors come to your Photos page and click a thumbnail to jump to a photo’s detail page, you can give them the opportunity to download a copy of the photo. In fact, you can even specify the size of the image they download.
To size photos for download:
Allowing Viewers to Add Comments to Photos
iWeb lets you give visitors the option of adding comments directly below photos on photo detail pages. This can be an enjoyable way for friends and family to interact with your website. Of course, you'll want to check comments frequently to make sure they’re all appropriate for your site.
To enable viewer comments:
When visitors view the photo, they can now add their own comments, and future visitors can view the photo and all of its associated comments.
Creating Podcasts
Optimizing File Size
When you share a podcast on your website or blog, you want to make sure you’ve compressed the podcast file size properly to allow visitors to download it quickly.
To optimize a podcast file:
When GarageBand finishes, it sends the episode to iWeb, which publishes the finished podcast on a new blog or podcast entry on your website.
Sharing Podcasts
After you’ve optimized the size of your podcast in GarageBand, iWeb adds it to your website as a new blog entry on a page using an uncustomized version of the blog template. To make your podcast page look like other blog entries, create a new blog enty that matches them and transfer the new podcast to the new page.
To match the style of other blog entries:
Note: Depending on the size of the placeholder image, you may need to delete the placeholder image and resize the podcast image/player.
To avoid having two entries with the same content, delete the original, uncustomized page iWeb created for your podcast.
