iLife '09 First Impressions

iWeb
Let's be honest. There's a good chance you've never used iWeb and never met anyone who has. It's not surprising when you consider how restrictive it is. That being said, it really is a nice program for anyone who doesn't want to get their hands dirty with HTML and other web technologies. In the latest version, you can now easily manage multiple sites, and even upload them to your own FTP server directly.![]()
I also like the addition of Widgets (and HTML Snippets for that matter). While I don't think iWeb will ever be a power user's web editor, the addition of self publishing, widgets, and HTML code may help iWeb make an impression on people who would have otherwise ignored it. For me it's just not enough power, but I have used it in the past to knock out a quick project or two. This isn't a major upgrade, but it is a nice one.
