Well I thought that I would write a little about my fun with the iWeb 1.1 update. Fun, did I really say that??

It hasn’t all been bad, I run a multitude of sites from my .mac account and like to play with iWeb, which is why I have this helpful site and rather dismal blog :-(

I also have multiple user acconuts on my Mac, only one of which is an Admin account, the rest are stanard, and these are the accounts I use on a day to day basis (I will go into the reasons on antoher day!). Suffice to say that I wasn’t aware of the iWeb update for 24 hours, it came, upset people and I read all about it. Not one to back down I decided to go for it.

The first thing I did was backup all of my domain files, I have one for each site. Then I stuffed them into an iWeb 1.0.1 folder, just so I knew where and what they are. Then I downloaded and installed the update, launched iWeb and republished this site, sweet! I am live with iWeb 1.1, next I added a couple more addresses to iWebUserSites and uploaded that too.

Next I moved onto my family site, 377MB of fat bloated domain file, next weeks task is to put it on a diet! Anyway this site contains loads of photos and it just didn’t want to play. I tried many tricks from the forum and none wanted to work. After 24 hours, I settled for an easy life and peaceful homelife, I installed iWeb onto my external drive (running Panther) and then upgraded to 1.0.1, I still had a copy that I kept when doing some testing for 11Mystics. Next, I deletedthe 1.1 site from my iDisk, hit Publish All to .Mac and up it went. No problems at all, first time every time!

 

Not to give up, I am back on this site about to publish with 1.1, if it goes up, then I will add comments straight away :-)

 

Fingers crossed  :-)
