Adding Multiple Photo Albums to a Page
If you have several photo or movie albums, you can create a My Albums page to
provide a single index page for all of your albums. Instead of seeing many albums in
your website navigation menu, visitors can click the single link for your My Albums
page and instantly have access to all your albums.
When visitors to your My Albums page move their mouse over albums, they can view a
slideshow within the album frame without leaving the page. When they click the
album, the album opens and they can view the pictures in a larger slideshow.
To add a My Albums page:
1
Click the Add (+) button (or choose File > New Page).
2
In the template chooser, select a theme in the list on the left.
3
Select My Albums from the templates on the right, and then click Choose.
The new page contains an album grid with a placeholder album.
4
Drag your Photos page from the sidebar to the album grid on the My Albums page.
When you drag photo albums from the Media Browser onto the album grid, iWeb
automatically creates a Photos page for the album and adds it to the My Albums index.
To reorganize albums on a My Albums page:
m
Drag the Photos pages (under My Albums in the sidebar) into the order that you want
them to appear.
Click an album to see the Media Index window, where you can set the number of
columns, adjust spacing, and make other adjustments to the layout of the page. You
can change the transition effect between photos by choosing an option from the
“Album animation” pop-up menu.
Experiment with adding photos and albums and adjusting the layout of the Photos and
My Albums pages. You can find more information in iWeb Help.
Creating a Blog
A blog is a journal that’s posted on the web for others to read. The word blog is short
for web log. When new entries are published, the previous entries are always available
in an archive. Typically, blogs are organized so that the newest entries appear first.
Use the Media Index
window to change the
layout and format of a
My Albums index page.
