Produce Professional-Looking Sites with iWeb

Apple intends iWeb ’08 to help Mac users create polished-looking Web sites, but not all of iWeb’s features are easily understood or fully explained by Apple. The new Take Control of iWeb: iLife ’08 Edition, a 133-page ebook by iWeb expert Steve Sande, provides step-by-step instructions and plenty of time-saving tips to help you build a Web site and publish it on either .Mac or another Web host.

You can watch over Steve’s shoulder as he enhances iWeb’s templates with a designer’s eye, using tools like masks, reflections, and Instant Alpha. Steve teaches you the best ways to make all types of iWeb pages — including blog, podcast, photo, and movie pages — and he covers topics that go beyond the basics and way beyond the online help.

You’ll learn how to add special elements to your site, such as iPhoto albums and galleries, YouTube videos, Google AdSense ads, Google maps, and forms that feed into Google Docs. You’ll also find coverage of how to edit graphics so your site loads faster, how to import podcasts and videos, how to make image maps, and even ideas for working with CafePress, Google Checkout, or Zen Cart to create an online store. It’s $10, with the usual 10% MUG discount if you use the link below.
