Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 1-6 months

I never experienced Iweb06.

I purchased IWeb06 about four months ago and after investigating various solutions to 'single site' fixation of Iweb08, I downloaded iwebsites and never had a problem again. Thank you, thank you, to the developer.

About three weeks ago, Apple itself (no other company) offered a free updater to Iweb08, and since it came from Apple, I didn't hesitate to download and install it.

Life, perhaps ILife, but definitely Iweb08, has been everylasting heck since.

I was wondering whether the masterful creator of iwebsites would have to update, as he did to meet the different configurations from IWeb06 to IWeb08.

However, iwebsites still worked before. Pages I created in Iweb08 went loco, loco, loco.

Every page stared up with a window that said I did not have fonts installed that I used on the site. Mainly, various 'Futura' fonts. Thing is, I had been careful to use only Mac/PC web frontly fonts from Iweb08, only about eight of them.

Then, many links on the uploaded site disappeared, when they had worked before.

Via Iweb08, I painstakingly re-created every single website on the pages, a semi humorous one called "http://fredsforfredthompson.com" or net or org. I used the site to take off on all the disrepect we 'freds' get cuz none of you guys, and certainly ladies, called us by our given name, 'frederick.'

That's another story. Now, the links lead to empty pages, and it is nearly difficult to upload sites. I used a delete apps program to delete iwebsites, updated iweb08 again, called up the site I wanted only in iweb, and still I couldn't upload it, getting 'publiser error' over and over again.

Do I have to delete the update and Iweb08 and relaunch it.

I received a fright today when I could find only one of the four websites I creaed with Iweb08 after updating the program.

ANY SUGGESTIONS! Help. Thanks.
