Using iWeb code as a basis for some other design program is not something I would recommend to anyone.

Have you looked at the Apple tutorials? http://www.apple.com/findouthow/web/

Also a very good tutorial site is http://www.iwebfaq.org

OT

Are the gears slipping in that finely tuned Toad mind? You seem to have left out one of the best sites for iWeb Tutorials......

Or did you forget about them?

The tutorial site is more for addressing unique features in iPhoto rather than learning the basics. But thanks for the compliment.

The vast majority of 'code'/features you'd use completely differently in another program or with another system. It's not really transferable knowledge, though you might pick up a couple of things. But if you've already learned HTML I'm sure you'll have no problems.

Posting downloadable Word docs is very simple. In fact, everything in iWeb is pretty simple providing it has the functionality available. (That said, allowing someone to download a Word doc in straight HTML is also very simple - just upload it to your server and create a hyperlink for visitors to download your doc).

Don't waste money on a book for web design. Ever. Everything you could possibly need is available on the Internet for free in an easier format, often with the ability to ask questions, and constantly being updated. Any book you buy will be at least a year behind.
