Yesterday I released an update for iTweak which fixed a couple of issues in the search and replace mechanism. I updated the download link for this site, but had an error in the URL. The link is now fixed and you can download iTweak.

Sorry everyone for the thousand iTweak updates I have been pushing out in the last two weeks. I think we moved from version 1.4.5 to 1.4.9 (that’s four updates). The basic changes of all these updates are as follows:
- Favicon Tag now XHTML Transitional valid
- Contact Form is no longer based on redirects. Thus, Google shouldn’t give you any sitemap errors.
- Password Protection made a bit easier by combining the two textfields into one. The tutorial is already updated.
- The addition of a favicon causing weird characters such as “d>d>” to show up in the site; now fixed.
- iTweak no longer reads widget markup, google verification and other unimportant files. This makes the processes way faster and no longer causes the hitcounter error on the google verification file.
- iTweak will no longer fail to add the contact form if other xml files are present.
- Contactform will now take the style of textbox in which the keyword is contained for 100%. No more ugly fonts.
- Fixed another important bug in which the favicon addition causes your site to end up so corrupt you can’t even trash. Sorry about that.
- Lot’s of bugs are fixed.
Please just continue to update to the latest versions of iTweak. The newest version of iTweak is now 1.4.9. Make sure you run that version before contacting me about errors or bugs. They might have been fixed already.

Having just released the latest version of iTweak, I now realize that I have caused some confusion amongst the new interface.
All of you were used to having to select the options that iTweak should complete, in the separate “Options” panel, looking like this:
After the 1.4.5 update, I removed this window and attached the checkmarks to the main window itself, now clearly separating which text-fields are for what and when they need to be used.
The idea has never changed, you still have to tick the options you want iTweak to complete. Excuse for the problems it might have caused, I will put a note on the tutorials about that.
The ability to password-protect iWeb-Sites is only available to those that publish to .Mac. Even though iWeb does not offer this ability to those who publish to a folder, it does not mean that it is not possible. This tutorial will show you how to easily protect your site with a password and an username.
For this tutorial, we will be using a free application called iTweak. It has been made to simplify such additions to the iWeb application and so it is just perfect to use.
Please note that this tutorial is only available to those who publish to a folder and upload to a server that is capable of running .htaccess files. Please ask your hosting service first before you start this tutorial.

Adding JS-Kit Comments to iWeb
Are you one of those users who would wish to have comments integrated right into your site but you are publishing to a folder and so you can’t do that? Or you want to have comments not just on your blog posts? You want to let people comment on your latest photo album? With this tutorial, you will be able to do this.
With the help of JS-Kit and iTweak this is all possible.
If you want to see how the outcome looks, then head over to the demo.
