You can share photos, open a blog, or publish a podcast. However, if you\u2019re after more flexibility, and want to build a real website, there are tools to make this possible. Developed by Apple and based on Mac OS X, iWeb was launched on January 10, 2006, as a template-based website creation tool. It was launched as part of the iLife \u201906 suite of lifestyle apps. Its first version was presented at the<em> Macworld Conference &amp; Expo<\/em> on January 10, 2006, while the last release (iWeb 3.0.4) took place on July 11, 2011. It was discontinued on June 30, 2012, when Apple pulled the plug on MobileMe.<!--more--><\/p>\n<div id=\"toc_container\" class=\"no_bullets\"><p class=\"toc_title\">Contents<\/p><ul class=\"toc_list\"><li><a href=\"#iWeb\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">1<\/span> iWeb<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#Making_Your_Own_Website_or_Blog\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">1.1<\/span> Making Your Own Website or Blog<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#iWeb_Basics\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">1.2<\/span> iWeb Basics<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Widgets_and_Tools\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_2\">1.3<\/span> Widgets and Tools<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#Links\"><span class=\"toc_number toc_depth_1\">2<\/span> Links<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><span id=\"iWeb\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt\"><strong>iWeb<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">iWeb allowed users to create and customize websites without coding, adding their own text, photos and movies. iWeb integrated with other applications in the iLife suite, including the\u00a0iLife Media Browser\u00a0(a list of all the music, movies, and photos stored in\u00a0iTunes, iMovie, and\u00a0iPhoto). Users could integrate their creations with other services, such as\u00a0AdSense, Facebook, YouTube,\u00a0and\u00a0Google Maps.\u00a0It hosted the sites on\u00a0MobileMe, and users could not choose their own host.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">iWeb included Apple-designed themes and templates with coordinated fonts and colors. Templates included standard Welcome and\u00a0About Me\u00a0pages, blog, podcast, photo and movie gallery pages, and more.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">When iWeb was discontinued, it had some unresolved bugs and limitations. For example, password protection was not supported on websites not hosted by MobileMe, along with comments on blog pages.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">When Apple discontinued iWeb, all iWeb websites hosted on\u00a0MobileMe\u00a0disappeared if they were not hosted elsewhere. However, Apple provided instructions on how to move iWeb sites to another host.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Here are some iWeb basics:<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\"><span id=\"Making_Your_Own_Website_or_Blog\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Making Your Own Website or Blog<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Compared to other programs, iWeb was easier to use, but the results looked a bit prefabricated. You were inconveniently prompted at every turn to publish your pages to a\u00a0MobileMe\u00a0payable account. If you did not want to purchase a\u00a0MobileMe\u00a0account, you could still build a site. However, in this case, you had to host it separately. Another drawback of iWeb was that its simplicity masked the mechanics of how webpages actually worked. As a result, when a person wanted to learn web design properly, there wasn\u2019t an option to learn HTML and build something from scratch.<span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif;font-size: medium\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\"><span id=\"iWeb_Basics\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong>iWeb Basics<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">To get started, users had to open the application from the dock or <em>Applications<\/em> folder. They were then prompted to choose a design theme, and pick the kind of page they wanted to create first: <em>Welcome<\/em> page, <em>Blog, Photo<\/em>, etc. A prefab page would then appear. It was ready to be customized with the text, photos, videos, and more. If the user clicked the\u00a0<em>Audio,\u00a0Movies<\/em>,\u00a0or\u00a0<em>Photo\u00a0<\/em>tabs, they could browse the items and then drag them straight into the existing placeholders, or anywhere else on the page. To see the tabs, users had to click <em>Show Media<\/em> in the lower toolbar.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">When the user added new pages, they appeared in the left-hand sidebar. The user had the option to rename each page. Links appeared automatically between each page in the site<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\"><span id=\"Widgets_and_Tools\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Widgets and Tools<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">To add extra functionality to the site, users had to access a selection of ready-made widgets:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>HTML Snippets:<\/em>\u00a0Choose HTML Snippets to paste HTML code into your webpage. With a basic understanding of how HTML works, you could borrow code from petty much any page you could find. To do this, in Safari you had to go to\u00a0View \u2013 View Source\u00a0to see a page\u2019s HTML code.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Google AdSense:<\/em>\u00a0This option was located on the Widgets tab, and could help you make a little money through Google\u2019s popular AdSense service.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Google Maps:\u00a0<\/em>The Widget option embedded a\u00a0Google Map\u00a0tool into your page. By default, users were offered a map displaying the user\u2019s address from their Mac\u2019s Address Book. It was possible to replace this with any location by choosing it and clicking Apply to place the map on the page.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After the user created the webpage, they could highlight the site\u2019s name in the left-hand sidebar to display the\u00a0Site Publishing Settings\u00a0pane. There, the user could use the drop-down menu to choose whether to publish to\u00a0MobileMe, a local folder, or via FTP to their own web space. After that, the user simply hit the Publish Site button in the lower toolbar to upload the pages. Files that were successfully uploaded appeared in blue until further changes could be made, but the user had to upload them again.<\/p>\n<p>iWeb could also be launched from several other Apple applications. This allowed people to publish galleries of images to the web directly from\u00a0iPhoto,\u00a0and publish\u00a0iMovie\u00a0clips and films directly from\u00a0iMovie.<\/p>\n<p>To fine-tune elements of the page, users had to select an item and hit the Inspector button on the toolbar at the bottom..<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><span id=\"Links\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt\"><strong>Links<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Apple&#8217;s creations are a perfectly balanced system in and out.
