Yeah I figure its a iweb problem with large image files when making a iweb site. Im looking at a way to downsize and make the site faster.
 
this is a site i made for my early architecture projects and school to keep friend and fam up to date on my progress as a student. i have a question too... i notice that the more objects you have on an iweb page the slower it loads (obviously) so would it load faster if i did the layout in photoshop, flatten to jpg and use it as a background and then just put empty shapes over the buttons for the links. this i hope would reduce the image load times and make things snapper. what do you all think:confused:

Your link doesn't work.
 
Okay, Ill bite.

Heres mine- www.moistproduction.com

Cant wait to troll through these tonight. good thread idea....

iweb is a fantastic app for us code writing illiterate.
I only have a few gripes, cant change the font in my blog preview. page counter does not function in safari. Must use page forwarding and masking to hide the rediculous iweb address.

oops here is the right one. oh yeah... does anyone know how to have pictures change when the mouse hovers over them? i saw this in dazbordrider's site. can you do this in iweb or is it a flash thing??

on my first page i did an exparement and created the whole thing in photoshop and then set the jpg as my background for the page and put invisible shapes and the link buttons. loads twice as fast this way... now to do the other ~20 pages. my harbor page is most in need of this.

i think apple should offer domain names with .mac at least as an option. your paying $99 a year, i think thats more than enough for a domain names.:rolleyes:

If they offered domain hosting, I'd finally be able to rid myself of Yahoo. (The only thing I keep my Yahoo account live for is because it's the simplest way to have cheap personal domain webmail, with their 'Personal Addresses' service.)

Ok after alot of messing around with keynote I finally just put some flash content into my site using simpleviewer ect....

Alot better than the iweb slide shows in my opinion.

I did it using iphoto export

All you have to do is select your photos from iphoto and iphoto export does the rest

Let me know what you think

Excellent site! You make iweb work! Great photos too!
 
Here's mine:

I created it this weekend, after discovering the magic of iWeb. It's really pretty cool, and pretty powerful. I've never developed any web stuff before so it was all new to me, but i think it turned out well, aside from the long load times. I encourage anyone using iWeb to think outside the box (starting with eliminating the navigation bar in every page:p ).

These sites all look awesome. Go team.
 
recently launched.....

Greetings: After fiddling with a DIY program with GoDaddy.com (Website Tonight) and finding, after getting it all published that my pages were almost unreadable on a PC, I took a close look at iWeb and redid the whole thing. I didn't want anything fancy, just a site that would show my work and what I can do. Still not through tweaking it but iWeb's hugely more user friendly than Website Tonight, with many more options. I don't get the criticisms I read in this forum.....for folks like me who haven't the time to learn HTML and just want a decent web presence, this is a wonderful program that's fun to use. I elected to not have the web.mac.com business as part of my URL, didn't want it forwarded either so I have to use a third party FTL, which I find cumbersome but will probably get used to it once I use it more. I'm http://www.buzzcoren.com if you wanna looksee.
 
I made a personal website for myself a couple months ago when I went on the job market. www.matthewcathell.com . Although it's kinda slow in loading (mostly because I chose a typeface that causes the text to load as PNG files) I'm pretty happy with it and it's doing what I need it to do.
