Question

I want my page to be bigger but i am stuck with this grey area that is roughly 10" x10"
then there is a large dark frame around it that changes size.
how do i make the area i want to work in larger?
Also how do i make the areas where i want to put advertising. like skyscraper adds and stuff.
and is there a way to edit the look a them has? like if i wanted to change the background.
any help appreciated

Answer 1

perhaps I can help with a few things...
1) To make your work space bigger, you can enlarge the page (I once did this to add an advdrtising skyscraper on the right hand side) by clicking on the second from left tab on the inspector called "Page." Then go to Content Width and Height to enlarge or extend it.
2) Now I am not working with the new iWeb and I hear inserting html code can be done directly in iWeb. Anyways, Make a text box with the same dimensions as your skyscraper, like lets say 120x600.
You check the dimension of the text box by click and holding on the little white box that you use to change the size of the text box (you know the little white things that border the text box and you can click and drag to make it bigger or thinner or whatever). By clicking and holding one of these, it will tell you the dimensions. Now, in the text box write something like AD CODE HERE . Then, once published, open up the html page in a text editing prgram (I use Text Edit)...make sure to select the "Ignore Rich Text Commands" box when opening it. Then replace the AD CODE HERE with the real ad code and save and voila your ads should appear.
3)As for the background, you can do that manually by adding a picture or colored box to fill the whole background.
