To replace a placeholder graphic with a photo:
1 Click Media in the toolbar.
2 Click Photos.
3 Choose the album or Event that contains the photo you want.
4 Locate the photo in the thumbnails at the bottom of the Media Browser and drag it on
top of the placeholder graphic on your webpage.
The placeholder graphic disappears and your photo is now in place. When you click the
photo, selection handles appear so that you can resize it.
You can also drag a photo from the desktop, the iPhoto application, or a folder on your
computer and place it on top of the placeholder graphic.
Experiment with replacing placeholder graphics with your own photos, movies, or
audio files using the Media Browser.
Adding Photos and Photo Albums
iWeb provides templates for pages that contain mainly photos and movies instead of
text.
 The Photos template includes a photo grid that automatically sizes and positions
each photo as you add it and provides a placeholder caption for each photo. It also
includes a Play Slideshow button that your visitors can click to view your photos as a
slideshow.
Inserting fixed and floating objects
If you want to place an object (including photos and other graphics) in the middle of
text or somewhere that doesn’t have a placeholder graphic, there are two ways to do
it: as a fixed object or as a floating object.
Fixed objects are inserted outside of text boxes. You can drag a fixed object
anywhere on the page and it won’t affect text or be affected by text or other objects.
Floating objects are inserted within text and get pushed along as the text grows.
If you place an object inside a text box, it must be a floating object. You can wrap text
only around floating objects. For more information, see iWeb Help.
