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.

Did you ever want this cool image-zoom effect? You click on an image and the image enlarges itself right in the window? No reloading and it all looks sexy? Well this tutorial will show you a perfect and easy way to add an effect that will enlarge your images right in your iWeb-made site.
Image Zooms … what? Not sure what I am talking about? Take a look at the demo.
The internet has quite a variety of scripts that allow you to create these zooms. Here are just a few:
All of them are very easy to integrate, but Cabel Sassers FancyZoom is the simplest. That’s why we will be using his.
Now let’s get started.
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.
Download the latest version here.
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.

After a really long wait (and empty promises), me and Jay have managed to bring out the all new iTweak. If you can’t wait to get it, here is the product page.
Although the application is finished, I haven’t had any chances to bring out any new tutorials of any kind, so you will have to use those that exist for iWebExpander. I will bring out the new ones as soon as possible.
Sorry for making this post very sloppy…
In the meantime, here is a list of how things work:
- Favicon tutorial works just like the old one
- Google Search works also like the old one
- Hitcounter, same thing as well
- Haloscan comments can be integrated by adding a textbox with the contents %%HALOSCAN_COMMENTS%%
- Contact form works with textboxes created on two pages. In the textbox where you want the form to appear, you type %%CONTACT_FORM_MAIN%% and in the textbox on the page where you want the “Thanks” message, you type this: %%CONTACT_FORM_SUB%%. Then in iTweak, select the two pages and your ready to go.
- The search and replace feature works as one expects. You can save the table data and load existing ones. Remember, this replaces the HTML of your site. This also means that your replace code show be in HTML
