If you have stuck with me so far, I’ve talked a lot about how to use iWeb’s powerful built-in tools, how to make your own navigation bar, and how to set up Master Pages. What have I left out? Oh yeah, some other tools you may find useful and actually using the program.

Part 3
One part of iWeb that you’ll get to know very well is the “Inspector†window.

Most people who own Macs these days are using some version of OS X. If their Mac is of a relatively recent vintage, they probably also have a copy of Apple’s iLife. I won’t bother to explain what iLife is, you either have it or you don’t. Apple’s iLife 06 is the version that brought one new application that has wormed its way into my heart; iWeb.

Ubercaster
Review
Ubercaster is very different from GarageBand in one important way. The program does many of the things needed to do in GarageBand in post-production all within Ubercaster’s workflow BEFORE you begin recording.

Review

Can Apple successfully transition to Intel without losing their soul? This is Apple’s fourth major transition (Apple II to Macintosh, Motorola 68xxx processors to PPC, Mac OS Classic to OS X, PPC to Intel) and bumps in the road can certainly be expected.
