Apple iWeb '08 - Manual (Page 8)

8 Chapter 2 Learn iWeb
If you’re not sure exactly what you want to put on your website, you can still go
through the tutorial and learn how to use iWeb. Nothing will be visible to the public
until you publish your website. Later, when you’re ready to “go live” with your website,
you can publish it.
Step 1: Plan Your Website
iWeb provides themes and templates to help you create a beautiful site with a minimum
of effort. Your website can use as many or as few of the templates as you like,
depending on the content you want on your site.
Each theme provides a different style, or “look,” for your site. A template is a page
layout designed for a specific purpose, such as a blog, a podcast, or a photo album.
Every template is available for each theme.
Each time you add a new webpage to your site, you choose the page’s theme and
template. If you decide later to change the theme for a page, you just select the page
in the sidebar and click the Theme button in the toolbar to choose a new theme.
Step 2: Create Your Website
Now that you have an idea of what you want to do, start by creating a website that
consists of one welcome page. You’ll add more pages to your website as you go
through the tutorial. You can add pages in any order; it’s easy to rearrange them or
change the theme of pages later.
To create a website:
1 Do one of the following:
 If iWeb isn’t open, click its icon in the Dock or double-click the iWeb application icon
in your Applications folder.
 If iWeb is already open and you don’t see the template chooser shown in step 2
below, click the Add (+) button at the bottom of the iWeb window (or choose File >
New Page).
2 In the template chooser, click one of the themes on the left.
