Next meeting - Tuesday, September 14, 7:00 p.m. Bob DeVoe(SMUG’s Webmaster) will present the in’s and out’s of web page creation using iWeb, a program in Apple’s iLife suite.
The first thing you will do is to select 1 of 28 themes provided by iWeb, and then from among 8 common layouts (blank, movie, my albums, etc) in your chosen theme. Next comes the fun part of entering text (into text boxes), media (from your music in iTunes, your photos in iPhoto, and your movies in iMovie), and even some http code (in Widgets) into the layouts. To fine tune each aspect of the layout, you use the Inspector. For example, all iWeb layouts start in portrait mode, but with the Inspector you can change the dimension of the layouts and add colored borders (like the blue borders around this page). What you see in iWeb is what you will see when you publish your pages.
Except for the July Picnic, SMUG meetings are held on Tuesdays at the Monroe County Public Library (303 E. Kirkwood Ave. Bloomington, IN, 47408), Room 1C, from 7:00 to 8:30 P.M (the July Picnic is held in Lower Cascades Park). Parking is available in the parking lots across Lincoln and Kirkwood Streets from the library, as well as on the streets around the Library (for a parking map, click here).
