I am using iWeb to set up a mini website for our newborn for extended and distant family. While it is not my regular page builder of choice, I figured why not use it since I have it and have a .Mac account.
I am having a few issues that I am not certain how to fix, though! It is frustrating because I would expect that the interface be more user friendly than other programs. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
1) Building a Photo page. I used the prompts and seamlessly built a photo page with iPhoto and iWeb--so I thought. The photo page is up but when the photos are individually clicked on (and/or the slideshow button) nothing happens. I can see at the bottom of the page: javascriptvoid(0)
2) Cropping. I am using the Mask tool to crop yet I cannot change the shape of the mask. That is, the only option I have is a plain square. However, from the template, i can see there are squares with rounded corners. I end up having to copy the original stock photo, insert my photo, and fiddle with it. Shouldn't there be a way to just adapt the mask?
3) Insert an email! There is a button to insert that says "email me" but it automatically sets up the webpage to email to my primary .Mac email address. I would like to use the alias I set up specifically for this webpage. Is it possible to do this? What is the point of having aliases if I cannot even use them with the webpage?
