Chapter 1

Creating a Website With iWeb

Important:

Don’t enter your .Mac user name and password; create a name and

password that would be hard to guess (they don’t have to be real words, but could be a
combination of letters and numbers).

Publish your website by clicking the Publish button.

When you click Announce, the email message includes the user name and password
you specified.

If you belong to a .Mac group, you can also publish a site so that only group members
can see it. For instructions, see “Publishing a site to a .Mac group” in iWeb Help.

If you don’t publish to .Mac, you can also publish your website to a folder on your
computer so that you can upload it to a server. For instructions, see “Publishing a site to
a server instead of to .Mac” in iWeb Help.

When you publish a site, all the sites and pages you changed since the last time you
published are published. In other words, you can't publish only selected websites or
webpages; each time you click Publish (or choose one of the Publish commands in the
File menu), your published websites will match the sites and pages in iWeb.

If You Already Have HomePage Content on Your .Mac Site

If you have previously published webpages using HomePage, they are still
available at:

http://homepage.mac.com/YourMemberName

Websites you create in iWeb are available at:

http://web.mac.com/YourMemberName/iWeb/SiteName

You may want to set up links on your HomePage sites to go to your iWeb sites,
and vice versa. For instructions, see “Add Links” on page 20 or the hyperlinks topics
in iWeb Help.

Note: You can’t edit HomePage sites in iWeb.
