Tutorials and great Mac software!
I know, I know, I know! Instead of fixing up the existing sites, I am creating one new one after the other one.
My new site that will be coming up is a Showcase site for sites created in iWeb. It will allow anyone to submit their site and if it is visually interesting, I will add it up to the gallery.
Let me know what you think about this by chatting about it in the comments section. Thanks!
As I am still working on iTweak, I have finally reached the very end of releasing it. There are only two more bugs and features to complete and then this app will go out in the world.
One of the great new features of iTweak is the ability to create a PHP contact form for your iWeb site. I have been creating a very good one and I am close to actually using that one.
Take a look at the demo here.
Any recommendations and ideas are gladly heard! This would be the basic outcome of the form if you use iTweak. You can use the comments below to tell me how you like/dislike it.
Thanks and happy easter!
While I was working with a friend on the old-school iWeb application, he asked me for a good effect to enlarge images. Making images open in a new window really sucks. So, what you do is you look into the jQuery library for a script that would provide what you want. Didn’t take long and the outcome was FancyBox. FancyBox, by me, is made up of three things. jQuery, Lightbox and FancyZoom. Since it is a mixture of all of them, I called it FancyBox.
Now what is FancyBox? It is a jQuery based script that will make thumbnailed images zoom up and enlarge. Best way to understand what I am talking about is to look at the demo.
You can take a look at this awesome thing in a demo page I made in iWeb:

Please only view this in FireFox and Safari on a Mac. These are the only things with which I have tested it. Camino fails completely. 
I’ll open up the scripts as soon as I get it to work properly. That means I will have a pack for those who enjoy coding themselves and then I will have it integrated right into the next major update on iTweak! Yep – the next major update for iTweak, not the 1.2 version. You’ll see this stuff coming soon.
The more you nag me, the higher the chance I get this stuff done. I am kind of a person who always shifts things to the last minute, so tell me to be faster.
This video tutorial will show you how you can upload your site in iWeb – which you have published to a folder – to your own server. This tutorial is easy as a pie and you should have published your site in a matter of seconds to your very own server. Yay!

Adding Haloscan Comments to iWeb
UPDATE: Haloscan has been purchased by JS-Kit. Hence, Haloscan is out of service and you can only use JS-Kit to add comments to iWeb. There is a new tutorial that will show you how to do this.
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.
So let’s get right started!
