First part on-line: Creating an empty template
 
Guess what... I removed the picture placeholder on the left. Damaged Blog page! No permalink anymore... Bummer! Oh well..
I’ve reorganised a lot of pages. Changed fonts here and there. The process of 4 pages to create your own templates “the old style” has moved to 1 single page. It’s still there for educational purposes.
The Template-Tutorial page is there as an anchor-page. Not from the ambition to duplicate stuff that’s already there, it’s there to summarise a lo of things I’ve been doing over the last couple of months. And go through it step by step. Just to encourage other people to be creative and go the extra mile to get what they want from iWeb.
Ambitious
Knowing the amount of time I have in daily life, it’s a bit ambitious - I won’t be pumping out pages at high speed. Sorry. Running iWeb on a seperate account for this purpose does allow me to quickly create a set of snapshots that form the basis of the story. And it can become a step-by-step procedure. So even someone without extensive programming knowledge should be able to reproduce it for their own purposes. If you have the guts to go there, I’ll provide the steps to get through. Promised.
Bug fixes?
And where is iWeb 1.1.2, containing a bug-fix for the shapes problem?? And while that bug is being squashed.... hopefully... have a look at shapes with no lines getting lines when published. I just saw what t had done to some of my pages and had to remove the adjacent shapes all together. The horizontal bar in the start-page became a FUBAR too... :-( Now let’s see if I can get around it :-)
Puzzled...
The Emoticon-stuff has been in iWeb since 1.0. When digging in the package-contents of iWeb, you’ll enconter them. Unless I have missed something somewhere, they’re not enabled. Why? I don’t know...

iWeb hacks in a different direction.
In the “old days” there was ResEdit. And it was cool. It allowed classic apps to be modified “a bit”. Sites like ResExcellence had a boatload of hacks.
Today we have things like development tools and stuff. An extensive set of tools one can play around with. Since the Navigation Inspector and Chart Editor are around since version 1.0, there was this thing in wanting to try out if...
 
NO.
indeed... it doesn’t work. Neither of them At least, I haven’t been able to find the trigger and see if any code could be enabled to run (or crash). On the left the damage i’ve done to my Inspector. :-) Anyone notice a change? And no. it doesn’t work. Again I was struggling with a tool i don’t know exactly how it works (only a sort-of) to see if and what can be changed and especially how easy.
Let’s say I’ve uncovered a little bit... encountered some very stuborn pieces/settings with the end-result that I haven’t seen the stuff I would’ve liked to see. Too bad, we’ll have to wait a bit longer
