![]() ![]() For example, to create a non-rectangular photograph in one of the template designs, iWeb outputs a 328KB PNG-24 image. This can mean larger image sizes and slower page downloads. This is a double-edged sword, though, since in order to achieve many of the effects needed for its page designs (which often use masking, transparency, reflection, and rotation), iWeb uses the PNG-24 format instead of the more-efficient JPEG image format. To keep things as simple and versatile as possible, iWeb automates some more-advanced functionality, such as image optimization.

That said, iWeb does not directly support importing themes, and adding them requires knowledge of how to edit the iWeb application package (if the template installers fail). It is also possible to create your own iWeb themes or purchase third-party themes (although third-party iWeb ’06 templates (version 1.0.1) will not work in ’08). Update to iWeb ’08 to help address this problem. Make sure to duplicate any pages, or better, the whole site (copy the file: Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites) before applying a new theme. However, if you customized your Web pages extensively in the previous version, be aware that iWeb ’08 reapplies default versions of the themes, which may cause your well-crafted pages to go askew. IWeb ’08 comes with eight beautiful new themes (14 if you didn’t get the iWeb 1.1 update). All you have to do is click the Publish button in the bottom left-hand corner of the iWeb window, and within a short while everyone can see your site on the Web. Just choose a theme (from the 26 provided) and page template (such as photo, movie, blog, or podcast, some of which are pre-coded to publish rich media), drag and drop images and other media you want to use into the template’s placeholders, type in your own text, and you’re ready to publish.
