With the release of Firefox 3, MobileMe/.mac photo albums created using iWeb wouldn't display properly when viewed with Firefox. After installing this update, and selecting the "Publish All to MobileMe" option, photo album functionality under Firefox 3 seems to be restored.

Note: I tried republishing all under version 2.0.3, and the Firefox 3 compatibility issue still persisted, therefore I am assuming restored album functionality under Firefox 3 was one of the problems that version 2.0.4 addressed.

Overall I've been very pleased with iWeb, though I would like to see a built in flash media player. I realize one can embed a YouTube video, but I was thinking more along the lines of self-contained player that is integrated with the application, and stores the media on one's iDisk as opposed to having to upload it to YouTube. I'm sure there are ways to accomplish this, but I'd like to see it implemented on a more user-friendly level. My other complaint is that the "Font" window is separate from the "Inspector" window. It's annoying to chose a font in one window yet adjust the font alignment and spacing in another. It can clutter the desktop very quickly, especially if one is using a smaller screen. In future releases I'd like to see these merged into just one "Inspector" window. Despite my minor quibbles, this is a very intuitive application, that generally meets or exceeds my needs.
