Ezine - can do on iweb?

Hi, welcome to the forums,

To create an ezine you would be better off creating it in a word processor such as Pages or Word then saving it as a PDF via the Print option. You could then up load it to you site with a link on the relevant pages. iWeb is for creating static HTML pages rather than ezines or newsletters.

With regards tracking software for subscribers there are many options out there all more expensive than the last. You are best off looking at reviews (via google).

Hope that helps

Karen ~ Following on from the above, here's a video tutorial about _Sharing and Exporting Documents_ created with the Pages app in +iWork '08+.

And this article: _So, You Want to Start an E-Zine?_ mentions DOCMaker — which is said to be +"used by most of the Macintosh based online electronic magazine publishers."+

Hi -

I recall using DocMaker years ago and believe it's a Classic only app as far as I'm aware although I may be wrong.

You could create it using MS Word or Pages or try a free word processing tool like [NeoOffice|http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php]. Then export your finished document as a PDF. If you have the full version of Acrobat you can put navigable hot spots or links into the content.

For example, say you created your document as a landscape page. Fill it with your content and put some navigation in the same place on each page (as you would see on a web site). Then export the document as a PDF. Open it in the full version of Acrobat and add hot spots to the navigation sections.

This gives users the option to use it online, download the PDF and view it on screen using the embedded navigation, or just print it out.

We produce navigable PDFs at our design agency like this as a showcase for our work to win new business. We design the PDF in Adobe InDesign (you would use a word processing piece of software instead) then save it as a PDF and add the links into the navigation.

I hope this doesn't sound too complicated. It's the only way I know other than creating an HTML website or using a dedicated e-zine piece of software which would cost more money.

If you want to add a little pizzazz to the ezine I suggest you use Pages as Alancito suggested. It's so easy to use and has some nice templates you can start with and modify as you need. It also has an export to iWeb that would be just what you want.

This website pretty much spells it all out for you.....
