Extending iWeb
As the iWeb community is quite large, hacks and tricks have been found to still implement the missing features mentioned above (and more). Several developers have created applications which ease the process of getting those missing features:
- iTweak — An all-around tool for implementing search fields, hitcounters, contact-forms, favicons, Haloscan commenting, password-protection for non-MobileMe sites and several other minor things.
- iMap — A sitemap creation tool which also supports the addition of Meta-Tags.
- iWeb SEO Tool — A free tool that lets you prepare an iWeb based website for search engines.
- iWebBuddy — A tool to manage several domain files for iWeb and the addition of Mint or Google Analytics hitcounters as well as the modification of RSS feeds.

Web Hosting Talk - Montreal, Canada - . iWeb. is releasing 10 servers per day, all at the same price, everyday for the entire month of June. This.
Q. I don't want to use .mac, and I know that apple makes it pretty difficult for people to post an iweb creation on another free site; however, I downloaded the Easy iweb Publisher v4.0, which is supposed to help. Do you know any good free sites, and how do I configure the Easy iweb Publisher? Thank you in advance!!! :)

A. You get an account on ANY free web host that allows you to upload your own HTML files. You get an FTP client (like Filezilla). You upload your HTML files to the site. You're done.
