Product Overview
.Mac
These are some examples of blogs you might want to create:
• You are passionately interested in food. You publish a blog that includes entries about
restaurants you love, new dishes you’ve tried, and recipes you’ve created, complete
with photos of the fi nished product.
• You spend a month exploring the back roads of the American Southwest and use a
blog to keep your family and friends up to date on your adventures.
• You are actively involved as a volunteer for a charitable organization and use your
personal blog to air your views about why the cause is important.
No matter what inspires you to publish a blog, iLife ’06 makes it easy to assemble
beautiful, media-rich blog pages. Use iWeb to select a blog template, create an entry,
and add links, graphics, photos, movies, and sound. When you’ve fi nished composing
your entry, publish your blog to .Mac with a single click.
Adding new entries to your blog is as easy as creating new email messages in Mail.
View a list of entries at the top of the window while you compose or edit an entry in
the lower pane. You can manage your blog by adding or deleting entries from the list
with the click of a button.
iWeb creates a summary page for your blog that displays the title, a text summary,
and a photo from each blog entry. You can set the number of entries that appear on
the summary page, with the older entries automatically added to an archive page.
Your family and friends can subscribe to your blog through Safari or through another
RSS reader. Because .Mac updates the RSS feed every time you publish your blog,
subscribers will see a notifi cation whenever you post new entries.
