Hey, if you're looking for a quick and easy product to make a web site.. Save your money and go get a copy of RapidWeaver at http://www.realmacsoftware.com/ The iWeb software in iLife has a limited set of templates, you can modify your own html, it lacks an FTP protocol to get your pages up to a server other an .MAC which is downright rude. I guess they don't want me to upload my site to their $499 OS X SERVER and would rather force me to use .MAC
Don't waste your time using the "counter" button cuz it will only work on .MAC and buckle up if you're trying to add a lousy line of html code for something like the Lycos guestbook or link manager... I spend three days messing with this and it's rather frustrating to know that they could have used the same technologies as RapidWeaver including animated flash themes but Nooooo... I guess making friends with the author of RealMacSoftware was too hard or something.. But hey, here's the RapidWeaver features which have been out for over a year.. You do the math...
