Add a song to iWeb '09 page, publish it, it thinks its a movie...

When I add a song from the media section to a page and publish it, once I go to the site it wont play the song. It asks for _+my account password+_ to "play the movie". IT'S NOT A FREKIN' MOVIE!!!! I know I'm no genius but I didn't think you had to be with iWeb '09.
I have done this process in the past and it worked, and the last couple of days it seems to work one time and then not the next.
What am I doing wrong?

iWeb uses QT to play the audio added to a web page. When downloading the track there are two options: Save as source and Save as Quicktime Movie.
Where are you hosting the site? Can you provide us with the URL so we can examine it first hand?
For other methods of adding an audio track to a web page see this demo page: Audio Players
More info on adding audio to a page can be had here: iWeb for Musicians

IWeb Quits when Publishing - Apple Genius said to Archive & Reinstall

Just spent over an hour with an Apple Genius at the Apple store to see if he could alleviate my problem with iWeb quitting whenever I tried to publish. I've been using iWeb for the last 5 months and have successfully posted hundreds of blog posts and pictures to my site on a .Mac account - but in the last 24 hours, I've been unable to get new posts published because iweb has been crashing prior to finishing the publish request.
I've tried deleting the iWeb preferences in /myname/library/prefernces as well as clearing my cache files and plain old rebooting. Also tried reinstalling the 1.1. update. The Genius reinstalled iWeb at the store and then I updated. Nothing's been fixed. I still crash when I publish. The only possible solution (according to the Genius) is to bite the bullet and do an Archive and Install. Anyone had luck with this?

I would go with a second User account first, as suggested by James.
If this doesn't work, I would be thinking corrupt prefs files within the domain file itself....
1. Quit iWeb
2. Navigate to the domain file, User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain
3. CREATE A COPY OF THIS FILE, and then move it to somewhere safe.
4. Now back to the original, "control+click" (Right click if you have one of those new fangled two button mice (mouses?!?) )
5. From the pop-up menu, choose "Show Package Contents"
6. Sort the finder window by "Kind", it brings all of the plist files inside iWeb together.
assets.YourUserName.plist - This one is a regular problem!
ServerCachedResources.plist
sharedassets.plist
deletedComments.YourUserName.plist
I have deleted all of these when having different problems, not specifically iWeb quittting when publishing, I dont think that that has happened to me.
I do have a tendancy to lose blog comments, perhaps deleting these files has caused it.
I also know that once I have deleted them and relaunched iWeb, done a Publish All to .Mac, all of my problems have gone.
The plist files are all recreated the first time you do this.
You may or may not want to try this, but on a copy of your domain.sites file is there anything to lose? Other than your sanity?
You might want to do one at a time or all at once.
Anyway, thats my 2 pence worth, I'm English really!!!

IWeb pages published in folder do not match pages published on .mac

After creating a photography website in iWeb '07, I am unable to have the contents of that website that I publish to a folder match what I created in iWeb and/or published on .mac.
In other words, when I publish a page of photos to a folder (to later add paypal html coding) the html version does not match the published version on .mac.
Has anyone experienced this problem?
I was orgininally able to have the html file match the .mac version verbatim but after I added and deleted a few photos, the html file in the folder (as viewed with TextEdit) has not matched the edited changes ever since.
Any help, ideas or suggestion on this would be very helpful. The folks at the Apple store and at Apple Care were not able to help.

yeah, same here. I have more than 60 Video Tutorials on my site for free, many of them on iWeb so please have a look, as some of them definitely address your questions.
It is at http://www.australianmac.com and click on Tutorials on the top of the page. If they do not help then email me from the site and I will make you one that does.

I'm using iweb 3.4 and trying to load audio files to my web page. everything looks good in iweb but after publishing instead of having a control bar i have a "?". does anyone know what to do?

I'm using iweb 3.4 and trying to load audio files to my web page. Everything looks good in iweb but after publishing instead of having a control bar i have a "?". Does anyone know what to do?

Where are you hosting the site, how are you uploading the files and what's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?
Adding audio files by dragging onto the web page forces the viewer to have Quicktime installed on their computer in order to be able to listen to them. Look at the audio player options on this page of Roddy's iWeb for Musicians site: Audio Players for your Music Website.

IWeb won't publish--am just trying to post a photo page

I've been publishing my website for years now and all of a sudden I'm getting a 'An Unknown Error Has Occurred' when it's trying to publish the new page of photos I just added. I've encountered lots of errors over time and know what most of them mean, but this one doesn't seem to be any kind of server or system issue--it seems there's a problem with the page of photos I'm trying to add. I have rebuilt that page a few times now (in the same way I've always done it) and nothing seems to be working. Can it be a problem with one of the photos I've added? What could be causing this? The other pages of my website (including photo pages) seem like they aren't the problem--the issues always arises when it comes to the new page I've added. I've been at this for 2 days now. Any ideas? Thanks much!

Not sure--I believe MobileMe. I've got a GoDaddy domain address that automatically forwards to my .mac account.

Downloaded Lion and Now iWeb Won't Publish New Page or Changes?

Hello,
I am having the hardest time getting iWeb now publish info. After updating to Lion iWeb will not publish anything new I do on iWeb. It will act like it is publishing everything but nothing shows up on the net. What do I need to do to fix this?

Try the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.
The following will assist you in using iWeb with Lion partidularly if you have more than one domain file:
In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Adding song to my picture page

Ive got a picture page I did in iweb and im trying to add a song from my itunes. I get the "audio" tab and can drag the song over but then get an "add image" box and cant figure out how to get either a link for people to start the song or for the song to automatically start playing when people go to th page. I know the songs are digitally managed but its just a joke for a few friends, not a commercial thing

Just leave it. It's there so you can add an image, like an album cover, but you don't have to. It will just show as the song when published.

Shadowbox problem in Default iWeb Photos Page

Hi Guys,
Ive been using shadowbox to create a pop up menu when the user clicks on the login button of my website.
http://www.sotonpcp.org then click the Login button at the top.
To do this I have:
1. Created a link to the desired page with iWeb
2. Published site to a folder
3. Used search and replace to add the shadow box code just before the </head> command
4. Used search and replace to add the shadow box reference to all links containing the Login reference
I have referenced the root directory for the shadowbox file reference so that the menu will work on all levels of the directory. (e.g. Within iWeb blog articles)
However, the problem I am having is that when i load my iWeb photo gallery, none of the albums are displayed. The shadowbox works fine, but renders my gallery page useless.
If I delete the shadowbox folder from my root directory then it works again. Re-upload it and it breaks again.
Any ideas on why this might be, and if so how do I fix it?
Best Regards,
Mike

I was thinking the same thing. I guess if it's working on your iPad and my iMac it's got something to do with with the iPhone 4. Although, I'm not ruling out the idea of iWeb not being iOS 4 friendly. You'd think Apple would optimize their iWeb sites for mobile devices, because this happens whether it's on WiFi or 3G. Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Trouble Creating an iWeb "Hub Page"

Have been away from iWeb for a while, but now need some reminders on how to do a few things which I can't seem to find the commands for, but which I'm assuming should be relatively simple -- and that assumption is probably my first mistake!
The Project: Am needing to create a kind of iWeb "Hub-Page", which basically consists of a header, title graphic, etc. (that part's ready to go), and then four "poster-frame" images (let's say sized roughly 320x240), each of which is a link to either an Aperture-published Gallery (but one which is "invisible" to my other Galleries); an Aperture-published web page; or an iWeb-created Photo and/or Albums page.
In an ideal world, it would be great if each of these poster-image hyperlinks could be mouse-skimmed so the visitor could preview the contents before actually activating the link -- but I'm guessing that may still not yet be possible. What I definitely DON'T want is the automatic, never-ending "slideshow" effect I see when I try using the MobileMe Gallery widget.
So, my general questions are:
1) If using the MM Gallery widget, how do you simply disable that auto-cycling preview effect? (Surely there's an option for at least that much somewhere -- like the animation controls for a My Albums page.)
2) Also, how do you get the preview thumbs to fit within whatever image frame size you've set, rather than the ugly default whereby they get arbitrarily cropped when their aspect ratios and their horizontal/vertical alignments differ from that of the image frame?
3) And is there an equivalent way to link "dynamically" (i.e. with the mouse-scrubbing ability) from iWeb to an Aperture-published +web page+ (as opposed to a Gallery album), or even to a separate iWeb-published photo page (one which is either part of the same overall site, or a page from a separate site)?
4) OR... (if the answers to 1-3 are basically "it's 2010, and iWeb is still glued to coverage of the 2004 Summer Games in Athens"), should I just forget about widgets, and mouse-skimming, and simply drag in four representative images, make each a hyperlink to whichever MobileMe Gallery, Aperture Web Page, or other iWeb page I desire, and be done with it?
And if the answer to #4 is a firm "Yes", is there any way I can still have a uniform navigation bar across the top of each page, allowing for quick flipping between them? (...in other words, to have these various Galleries and individual photo pages -- each with their own unique URLs -- all appear within some kind of frame *when accessed via this new iWeb "hub page" I'm creating*... or will the visitor always have to click Back to the hub-page in order to then go to one of the other pages represented there?)
Hope that made some sense -- any guidance on any of the above will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
John B.

So basically you're saying you do not like the default features of iWeb, MobileMe Gallery and all that, and you actually want a custom website. If that's the case, the short answer is: design it yourself. But it requires study, effort, finding solutions, practice, finding alternatives and more study. It's called webdesign. And for the most parts, you gave the answers yourself. So do what you want.
To be fair -- and perhaps my original intent wasn't clear -- I was really just trying to get clarification on a few of those iWeb, MobileMe Gallery, and related-app defaults, especially the current extent and limitations of their configurability. I stress "current", since any application default -- and whatever options exist to change its parameters -- is obviously a constantly changing and ever-evolving process. One version's "sorry, no way" scenario is often the next version's empowering new feature.
For instance...
1. Create the webpages you want to link to.
2. On the hub page add the four images.
3. Hyperlink the images to the pages you created in 1.
Which is indeed the Plan B scenario I outlined in item #4 of my original post, and which is essentially what I did in fact end up doing.
That original post was primarily an attempt to see if my Plan A scenario was an iWeb possibility yet (as I mentioned, having been largely away from the app since the previous version). I figure it's best to check these forums first before sending off more suggestions and feature requests to Apple Feedback, since it sometimes happens that the capability I'm seeking has in fact been implemented, and I'm just not looking in the right place.
And there's always a very grey area between configuring and customizing, especially in the area of web design -- iWeb itself being a good example. For all its easy-to-use, pre-defined templates (and thank goodness for them), iWeb does in fact also allow for a great deal of website customization in many areas. There are certainly a number of things of which it's now capable, which if proposed in the days of version 1 would have merited the response: "you're asking for a custom site -- learn how to code and design it yourself".
Much of what I'd like to be able to do is just that -- nice if available as an already-impemented feature, but not essential, and certainly not something I could justify spending large amounts of time learning how to achieve manually. Especially since this morning's non-configurable default is this afternoon's Feedback suggestion and next Tuesday's exciting new feature.
(Okay, maybe next month's.)
But as for any unrealistic expectations, my only true annoyance with any current default is when it seems arbitrarily limiting -- case in point being the automatic slideshow preview feature of the MM Gallery widget, which apparently comes with absolutely no "Off" switch. To me that just makes little if any sense, and runs counter to the general spirit of user-friendliness we've come to expect in our Apple apps, whether consumer or pro level. It's as if certain kinds of links (say to any external page) automatically included an engagingly cute musical intro, and there was no option to disable that default. It might be a fun feature, even a very cool one, but to make it mandatory, with no way to NOT have it enabled? I'd say that's a default that clearly needs to be changed (as in: made optional).
So would still love to hear from anyone who may have found a way to do this in iWeb '09 -- failing which, I'll definitely be adding that to my next batch of iWeb Feedback notes. Only question will be: whether to label it a Feature Request, or a Bug Report?
(BTW, for any humorously-challenged readers, that last question was meant as a joke.)
Thanks again though to Wyodor for taking the time to respond.

IPhoto Album updating iWeb Album page

OK .. I'm lost! I created an iWeb Album page and a new matching iPhoto album to put the photos in. Now I've added new photos to the iPhoto album and they don't show up in iWeb. There is a lot of work on the iWeb page with a lot of descriptions etc and I don't want to have to delete the page and drag in the new updated album. What am I missing? How to I sync any newly added pictures in the iPhoto album with the iWeb album?
Thanks...

The iWeb pages don't automatically update like iPhoto Web Galleries do. You will have to add the new photos to the iWeb photo page and republish that page.
If you were using a iPhoto Web Gallery in an iWeb page then all you would have to do is click on the publish button in iPhoto and the gallery would be updated when accessed via iWeb.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Several iweb sites 2 publish?

I have created a first site and now that I have a better understanding of iweb I want to build a new site. I clicked new site and have published it to mobileme using different domain names. When i try and visit the site i am directed to the first site.
Is it possible to build a second site and publish with a site already published? The second site has a big long name with the first sites name embeded into the second site! Can anyone help?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Where are you hosting the sites?
Are both sites in the same domain.sites2 file?
Have you purchased a domain name for any of those sites and what method of domain name forwarding are you using?
Here's some info on Multiple Sites with Domain Name(s) in a Single MobileMe Account
Here's how to have multiple sites in a single MMe account with one or more sites having a domain name.
A. All sites are in the same Domain.sites2 files
1 - only one site can use the CNAME method of domain name forwarding and it must the top site in the left hand pane of iWeb.
Click to view full size
2 - the other sites must use URL domain name forwarding which directs the domain name to the site's full MMe URL, http://web.me.com/MMeUsername/SiteName, or, if there is no domain name, just MobileMe's full URL.
B. Each site is in its own Domain.sites2 file.
Again, only one site can use CNAME forwarding. This presents a problem since CNAME forwarding directs the domain name to the basic MMe account URL: http://web.me.com/MMe_Username/ which uses an index.html file in the root folder of the account, iDisk/Web/Sites. Each time a new site is published or an existing site uses the File->Publish Entire Site a new index.html file is created in that root directory, iDisk/Web/Sites folder, directing the browser to that particular site. This file is what the CNAME method uses to find the site it represents.
Therefore some steps must be taken to assure that the index.html file in the MMe Accounts root directory always points to the correct site. This can be accomplished is three ways.
1 - don't use the CNAME method. Just use URL forwarding . This, IMO, is the simplest method as it doesn't requre any additional effort on the user once the domain name has been set up.
2 - use the following method suggested by Wyodor in this topic: Is it possible to have multiple sites when using ur Domain name?
In iWeb domainfile 1:
Create a dummy site : _dummy
with a blank page.
Create your working site : Whatever
Add pages
Publish both Sites to the same same location on the same server.
Your _dummy site is now the default Site.
Check.
In iWeb domainfile 2:
Create/Use your CurrentSite.
Move a page to the top of the Site and back. Publish the Site.
iWeb will create a new index.html file in the root of the server and from now on CurrentSite is the default site.
Check.
From now on, never move your Whatever Site to the top of the list in the iWeb sidebar and never change the page in the _dummy site.
Simply do not touch your _dummy ever again. And never forget that.
3 - use Ethmoid's suggested method in Using two sites - setting one up with separate domain? or republishing the entire site that uses CNAME forwarding. Just making a minor change and publishing the site changes does not create a new index.html file.
The entire site must be republsihing in order to get that new site.
Or keep a copy of the CNAME site's index.html file on your Mac and replace it manually in the iDisk/Web/Sites fodler when necessary.
NOTE: the CNAME method provides a shorter URL: http://www.DomainName.com/Site_Name/PageName. CNAME does not have masking.
The URL forwarding displays the full MMe URL:
http://web.me.com/MMeUsername/Domain_Name/PageName.
With domain name masking that will be shortened to:
http://www.Domain_Name.com for every page of your site.
However, with masking visitors will only be able to bookmark and enter at the first page of the site. If a page is refreshed the visitor is taken back to the first page. Also search engines will only be able to index the first page of the site.

301 redirects and iWeb index page

Our site has grown and we will be changing our domain name and hosting co. (We are keeping the old domain active for a while at MME before we change domain name and hosting) I will need to redirect traffic for a while so as not to lose those who have just bookmarked us. Will just redirecting on the index page that iWeb creates (post publish) do that without creating a mess of our page rankings at Google? Currently we are in the top 15 responses for our search terms. Or should i create some other type of redirect? 301? (via cname or htaccess) will that ding me at google? Thanks- try to keep it as simple as possible - I don't code - I experiment and Apple has made it easy.

What I would do is purchase the hosting and see if you can have more than one add-on domain. Most web hosts let you do this on one account so it doesn't cost you any more money. You are doing this because you will need a .htaccess file to set up your 301 redirects properly. This is what you should do;
1) Register your new domain and publish your site to it.
2) Create a webmaster tools account for BOTH your old and new domain name.
3) Create a 301 redirect for each individual page to the new corresponding page on your new domain. This can be done with a few lines in your .htaccess file. The file should be in your root folder of your OLD domain. Put this on your .htaccess file (NOTE: This assumes you will have the exact same website structure on the new domain);
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mynewdomain.com/$1 \[R=301,L\]
OPTIONAL: Use Google's canonical tag on each one of your pages to avoid any issues with duplicate content. Link the old page to it's new corresponding page. This is optional but recommended if you can;
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.newdomain.com/newpage.html" />
4) Login to your Webmaster Tools account and select your OLD domain. Then select 'Site Configuration' and then 'change of address'. Follow the steps provided (which are basically what I told you above). Step 4 in there is the important one.
5) Submit a sitemap for your new website. This will make sure you know when Google has indexed your new website.
6) Important: Even though you have done everything properly there is a chance your rankings will change. To help prevent this, update as many third party links as you can to your new site. This won't be possible for all links since you won't have control over them but you should try contacting the website owners who have linked to you to update their links. You should also try getting new links to your new domain.
You can find all the sites you have linked to you by logging into your webmaster tools account and clicking your OLD domain. Then go to 'Your site on the web' and then to 'Links to your site'.
Nothing will be instant here, it will take a few days for everything to update but the above is the way Google recommends you do it.

Google Analytics for iweb 09 site published to MobileMe

At one point I was able to add Google Analytics to my iweb site that's on Mobile Me. That lasted 2 days, till I republished it. I redid it twice, I thought the same way. The last time was yesterday after changing to new iweb 09 software. I published site to local disk (idisk), then went to Automator and added the Google Analytics code (UA-xxxxxxx-x) again and unchecked "Old Style Analytics Code". I saved as a new "Google Analytics plugin". Then I selected website folder on idisk through Finder. Then control-clicked (to run Google Analytics workflow) and chose the "Google Analytics plugin" from menu. After this, I went back to my site in iweb and clicked on "Publish". I assumed that it published the site in idisk, where I had added Google Analytics. But it's been over 24 hours and no results in Google Analytics.
Through Safari, I went to home page of site, then clicked View, then page source and I don't see the Google Analytics code (UA-xxxxxxx-x) shown so it didn't seem to work. I just don't know where I made a mistake. I don't think its because I changed to iweb 09 because I re-did it the same way in iweb 08 (but did not uncheck the "Old Style Analytics Code") and it didn't work then either. Can't figure out how I got it to work for two days when I first tried it.
Please help. Anyone?

It is now easier than ever. You don't need an outside application, or an automator action at all. I used to use Transmit to upload my site, since I first had to export it to a folder, then run the automator action. I again spent some time looking for how to do it for iWeb 09 and found the easiest (and therefore overlooked) way:
1. in iWeb, create an HTML snippet
2. Copy the Google Analytics code and paste into the snippet.
3. Make the box as small as it can go (although this does not really matter since nothing will display on your site)
4. Copy this snippet and go on each page on your site and paste it.
5. Publish your site.
6. It will take a little bit of time for it to show up on the Google Analyics page, so set it up, then walk aawy for a little bit.
This worked for me right away, and I no longer have to export to a folder and use an action of any kind.

"When you place a song on a blog page..........:"

Finally I can add to the Knowledge Base here and return the favor.
About a week ago when I began putting songs onto my pages, I tried to put a song on a page in (what I then called) my Blog (I now call it Life Stories).
I had a picture of a tropical beach on the big picture area on the blog entry page and tried to place my song there but no no matter what I did or how many times I re-made the .mov file, it would not go onto the blog page. I then gave up on putting songs onto blog pages.
Since then I began putting songs on blog pages, with lots of success. An Edith Piaf song, one by Eartha Kitt, and a sultry Leonard Cohen sung by a gigolo doll who collects money from women for his company. So this reminded me of my earlier failure in getting "Forever Young" onto the page with the tropical white sand beach.
So I tried again today. FAILURE AGAIN! But that couldn't be, since I have succeeded putting songs on other blog ("Life Stories") pages..... so I tried to figure out what was different between those successful pages and this one which always failed. And I realized: The page that always refused a .mov song file was one in which a picture was plastered down first and covered the entire picture field.
So I lowered the picture about 1/2 inch and placed the new .mov file (an Eva Cassidy song) onto the space that was NOT covered by a picture -- way up in the upper right hand corner. AND IT WORKED! I checked on Safari and the song plays beautifully.
* So the thing to remember is: When you place a song onto a blog page, make sure you place it onto a spot on the field which is NOT covered by a picture. That is my first contribution to the iWeb community today and I feel very good in being able to offer it.

I am running 10.6.8 and using iweb for my web site. After several SEO analysis they all indicate I need H1-6 header tags. After looking at the source code I see there are none in iweb. Is it necessary to add? If so, how do I add H Tags to iweb.

I am running 10.6.8 and using iweb for my web site. After several SEO analysis they all indicate I need H1-6 header tags. After looking at the source code I see there are none in iweb. Are they necessary to add? Why would one add these tags and how do I add H Tags to iweb? And are there examples to look at? I am slowly learning about simple web design and assumed that iweb was stand alone without having to write code. Is this one of the reasons iweb is no longer supported? Thanks for looking at this!

A simple text page like this:
Heading
    sub heading
          text paragraph ....
Is traditionally represented by html tags like:
<h1>Heading</h1>
     <h2>sub heading</h2>
          <p>text paragraph ... </p>
I would guess that the use of h1-h6 tags helps search engines to understand the structure of a page as the tags imply a certain structure.
This can be compared to more generic tags like <div> that could represent any kind of content - and may be what iWeb uses (you'll have to check yourself).
I would generally recommend that you use some kind of up to date blog/site building tool, perhaps Wordpress or Squarespace (I haven't used either one myself) that support current web technologies - this should reduce your SEO issues and make it easier to properly support mobile/tablet users.

Add a song to iWeb '09 page, publish it, it thinks its a movie...
