(iTweak is now available)
iWebExpander has been doing quite well in the past three months. It has become one of the most used applications in cooperation with iWeb and it makes us feel quite proud to find iWebExpander to be found in all forums.
There have been some issues with iWebExpander (like the application freezing) – but Jay and myself have looked into them and we have solved nearly all of them.
One thing was the name of iWebExpander is that it sounds totally stupid. I gave it this name because it related iWeb and the application itself and thus it would lend it very self. Yet now, with iWebExpander being so popular, I thought it would be a great opportunity to change the name.
So, iWebExpander is now iTweak! 
Though just a name change is not all. iTweak will have all the features that iWebExpander, which are bug-fixed, but new features as well. These will be the new features for iTweak:
- Backup iWeb 08/iWeb 06 sites
- Add a favicon to iWeb
- Add Google Search to iWeb
- Add hitcounters to iWeb
- Add comments to iWeb
- Add a PHP Contact-form to iWeb
- Search & Replace function for any code…
If you want any other features, now is the time to ask for them!!!
And when will this new stuff come? I am so into working with it, that it will probably be done by the end of the weekend!
So everyone! MacBookAir has just been released and I am actually thinking of getting one of them.
Now, iMap and iWebExpander are having some issues with the TimeOut error if you use .Mac.
The reason for this error is that .Mac is simply to slow. Thus, my software is not receiving any answer and so freezes. I’ve recommended to use a faster Internet Connection – but still, people get this error. I am also tired of answer a zillion mails about this. So – I will fix it once and for all.
I have had an update ready for quite a while – but I am planning to make a better fix. This fix will get rid of this error for 100%! So bear with me. I am planning to release the updates next week.
No need to worry!
Update: It’s solved! Updates will be sent out next week.
I’ve been getting a lot of mails recently asking me if I could do a tutorial on how to add Google Analytics to iWeb.
There is actually a tutorial out there already. It is actually made for Statcounter – but it works for Google Analytics as well!
You will use iTweak which is a free application that allows you to add any Hitcounter you wish (wether it be Google, Statcounter, Mint, CrazyEgg or whatever)! A tutorial for how to use iTweak along with a Hitcounter can be found here.
We just started a new year – 2008 for those who missed – and I am enthusiastic about doing lot’s of things. I have published quite a list in one of my previous posts – but right now I want to focus on especially one of my pieces of software.
iWebExpander is a little AppleScript based application that I made to make my iWeb Tutorials easier. Turns out that many people love it and they use it as often as they open iWeb itself. Iv’e gotten mails about some stupid AppleEvent timed out (-1702) – but I have gotten even more emails that just praise Jay’s and my easy application.
Well I’ve been on skiing holidays for the past two weeks, and I have checked the download counts today, and I was just shocked. To make it short:
12,340 people have downloaded iWebExpander!!!
Isn’t that amazing? That is about 200 downloads a day over the first two months of iWebExpander’s existence.
To be honest, I wasn’t expecting iWebExpander to grow that big and I guess that now, I cannot just leave it alone – it’s a project that will continue into the future.
So, I have been working a bit on version 1.1. I’ve got several new features ready which include Haloscan Commenting, PHP Contact Forms or even a full-blown “Search & Replace” function which will be ready soon.
It’ll come soon. Don’t worry
Oh one last thing – I am a bit shaky about the name “iWeb Expander!!!” I might change it to iWebExpander (without the space) – or even change the whole thing into something more usable.
I’ll add it to Coolmacapps soon and then you can all start voting it up!
I am now introducing to applications that will extend things that iWeb does not have.
Introducing: iMap
iMap is a cool and very easy to use application that creates Sitemaps for iWeb. In other words, iMap is the only App that you will need to make sure that your iWeb site is on Google. You can buy iMap for just 7.99€ and enjoy finding your site on Google for the rest

Introducing: iWeb Expander
iWeb Expander is an Applescript based application that easily adds several necessary things to your iWeb site. It can add a Favicon, Hitcounters or just integrate Google Search into your Site.

I hope you enjoy my new applications!
