Last year I wrote a post all about making an iWeb site look good on an iPhone or iPod Touch and a few of you have written to me to ask whether it would be possible to have an iPhone user automatically redirected to a completely different page, one that had been designed specifically for an iPhone’s smaller screen.

Don’t worry though, I have found a solution and it is really easy too. We just have to use a little bit of extra code in the text-box. Read the rest of this entry »

For those of you that have purchased the iWeb SEO video from Rage Software (you can still get 15% off the purchase price with All About iWeb) this iWeb tutorial may not come as much of a surprise to you, however if you haven’t (why not? it’s full of useful iWeb SEO tips and tricks) you may want to pay attention. Regular readers of this blog may also remember my previous tutorial explaining how to get ‘header’ tags into your iWeb site, but it involved a bit of faffing about.

All that has changed with the release a few weeks ago of version 1.7.1 of the iWeb SEO Tool from Rage. Now adding ‘header’ tags to your iWeb site is as easy as putting a tick in a box!! Read the rest of this entry »
