A few hours ago I published a tutorial on the easy way to insert the header tag into your iWeb site, but it seems a few of you are having problems. The iWeb SEO Tool may not be as foolproof as first thought. The troubles seem to be arising with those of you who are using ‘Sans-Serif’ fonts (such as Arial, Verdana or Tahoma) in between your header tags.

Okay so I had some book vouchers for Christmas and couldn’t really decide what I should buy with them, especially as I got the books I wanted for Christmas too. Then a few days ago I accidentally hit the GarageBand icon instead of the iWeb icon on my Dock and when it popped up I was tempted to stay and play for a while.

I am not normally one for believing in the hype that surrounds Apple, but lets face it there has been an awful lot of speculation about an ‘iSlate’ of late if any of the Apple Rumor Blogs are to be believed. Tonight however there is a newer buzz; iLife 2010 could be on it’s way.

And we all know what comes with iLife! Our favorite web design application of course. And so you don’t have to go searching round the www to find all of the gossip, here are a few links for you to take a look at. Read the rest of this entry »
