Can't put albums on album page.

Question

I have used iWeb for over 5 years and never had this problem. I have an album page on my website and it won't let me pull new albums onto my album page.
What Gives?

Upgrading to the new iWeb won't guarantee a fix to the problem.
Log into another user account on your Mac and see if you can add albums to an album page there. If not then a reinstall of iWeb might be in order. To do so you'll have to first delete the current application and all files with "iWeb" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder, reinstall iWeb from the disk it came on and reapply the latest updaters.
If you can add albums in the other account then there is something in your account that's the culprit. It could be a preference file other than iWeb's. Here's how you can check that out:
Trouble Shooting Preferences in Leopard/Snow Leopard
1 - Create a folder titled "Preferences A" on the Desktop.
2 - Open the working Preferences folder, HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences, and move the contents to the Preferences A folder on the Desktop.
3 - With the working Preferences folder empty run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed.
NOTE: you may have to drag the contents of the working folder to the trash and empty if moving the contents to the A folder only copies them instead of moving.
4 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Preferences folder (HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences).
B - Open the Preferences A folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace button.
