will apple update iweb anytime soon or ever?

Those that know anything about future Apple software are not allowed to talk about it here.

The software hasn't been updated in years and isn't available for download via the App Store. New machine purchases do not include iWeb or iDVD.

These pages are not used to discuss rumors or speculation.

I haven't heard any rumours, but i have an opinion..!

iWeb is great. it does almost everything you want, quickly and very very easily. You can post your site with MobileMe (as i have for several years) or an independant provider (I've been using Macace for a while and everything works perfectly). I know nothing about html !!

I'd like it if you could set anchors in iWeb, (so you could set a link to a point further down the same page), but i can't see that happening.

As far as I'm concerned, updating applications is often counter productive - have you seen what Microsoft have done to Word ??!!!

It's not broken, so don't fix it.

See this page re anchors on the page: iWeb : Anchors on a webpage

OT

thanks, but like i said, i know nothing about html, so when your article starts off with "place an empty html snippet..." my eyes glaze over, and i wonder why it was never written into iWeb in the first place...

... or why Apple has decided to dispense with such a great little application...

😕

iWeb was only ever created in the first place to go with MobileMe to support web publishing, so when they decided to get rid of MobileMe and replace it with iCloud, there was no need to keep iWeb any longer, which is why they withdrew support for it and stopped selling iLife.

Perhaps it is time to start finding out a litte about html. All you do is click on the html snippet and drag and drop it onto your iWeb page and then copy and paste code there and click on Apply. If you want to make good websites these days, then you need to know some html.

If you have iWeb, you can continue to use it for as long as it works with the Mac OS's.

Here's how to add a snippet:

Then resize it small and put at the beginning of where you want the anchor to take you to on the page.

If you need more than one or two anchors in a page its probably easier to add them post publishing...
