=****Using iWeb and Backing Up iWeb Files****=

=****iWeb****= "iWeb is a personal web publishing application that makes it easy to create and publish great-looking websites with content ranging from text and photos to blogs and podcasts. iWeb uses the iLife Media Browser to integrate with other iLife applications. In one simple step you can add photos and albums from iPhoto, movies and video podcasts from iMovie, and even links to your favorite songs from iTunes." Then you can publish your site on the HCPSS server using FETCH!

Now that you've published your iWeb site...need to back it up or change computers?

=****Back Up Your iWeb Sites****=

A lot of you have been creating iWeb files. It is not obvious where iWeb stores your files in case you want to move them or create a backup. I found a movie online that demonstrates backing up your iWeb files. =****Go [|HERE]****= Or just go to Home > Library > Application Support > iWeb. The file named "Domain" holds all your iweb files. Copy that file to a backup device (such as a cd or external drive). If you want to move your iWeb files, open iWeb on the "new" computer and replace the domain file with your copied file.
