How do I create hidden folders in iweb

I switched to Mac from PC which means I lost FrontPage.  I have 6 small websites for my books and I need to rebuild these.  I don't have time to learn Dreamweaver at this time.  How do I create the essential hidden folders I need in iWeb to place the books for download?

Thanks Kirk
I just wasted 6 hours before I realized this.  I'm so frustrated switching from PC to Mac.  The learning curve is tremendous and very frustrating. I've lost over a month of productivity due to little issues like this. Hopefully no one else will suffer.  Here's the remedy I came up with.
Basically iWeb cannot be used for anything other than basic vanity mini websites.  If you're doing ecommerce, need various folders or are using it to market products with downloads or anything needing protected, this is not the product to use.
For others with my issue, how do you update or change a FrontPage site when you no longer have it and no longer have a PC (most of the open source programs available for this only work on PC). My sites were built in FrontPage.  I needed to update and change them.  This is how to do it.
From the hosting panel with your hosting company use the FTP uploader. You need to save the entire FrontPage Website to your computer or an external harddrive. You can then open it and edit it in DreamWeaver. You may be able to do this with outher editors as well but this one I know you can. Dreamweaver can be rented on a month-to-month basis now and it does come with a 30 day free trial.
If you don't know how to do CSS style sheets, you will need to go into each open page, cut the text, past it into an rtf document in Mac.  Then, choose format and change it to 'plain text' and recopy and past into the open page of Dreamweaver.  This gets rid of the funky formatting FrontPage does and changes all the copy to <p> tags.  Then go into the code view in Dreamweaver and add the <h1> <h2> and other headings where needed. Dreamweaver does allow you to specify the attributes and create an in page CSS.
All of this is temporary but at least you'll be able to work on, edit and make changes even if you've lost access to a PC and FrontPage.  Eventually you will need to replace the entire FrontPage site

  • How do I create sub-pages in iWeb?

    Hi, How do I create sub-pages in iweb like it does in this website
    http://www.e-alliance.ch/index.php?id=405
    with all the main menus "about us", "advocacy capacity", etc?
    Thank you for your help!!!
    Boaz

    To create sub pages, just ensure that the main menu item is in the main menu and then for the sub pages themselves, ensure that they are NOT in the main menu and you link back by creating links instead.
    For example, you could use Staff as a main menu item, so Staff would be in the main menu and then descriptions of different staff members would be underneath, but not in the main menu - they would have separate links that you create and then hyperlink.
    If you want to make drop down menus in iWeb, as in the site that you linked to, you can't do this directly in iWeb itself.  You have to make it and then upload various css files to your web host and link to it in iWeb etc.  It is quite a complex task to create drop down menus in iWeb.  If you want to do that, then I would suggest that you use a different app instead - take a look at http://www.everwebapp.com.

  • How do I create new folders in my mail?

    How do I create new folders to divide and save my mail into catergories?

    Hi Tina
    Two ways to do this:
    1 in Mail, go the tool bar at the top of the screen, select Mailbox, then select New Mailbox in the menu.
    2 in Mail, go the lefthand column, and at the bottom left you should see a plus sign and a cogwheel icon. Click on the plus sign and a new, untitled, mailbox will appear in the column above. Name this as you like.
    You can "nest" mailboxes inside other mailboxes (eg inside a box I called "personal" I have individual mailboxes for each of my family and friends).
    Then simply drag messages from your inbox to the appropriate mailbox in the lefthand column when you want to archive them.
    Hope this helps!

    Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and run the following:
    do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1"
    Click on the Finder in the Dock with the Control and Option keys held down and choose Relaunch. Some third-party utility software will also do this.
