Should i upgrade to iWeb 09

Im running 10.5.8.

3.06ghz intel core 2 duo. 4gb ram.

I currently have iWeb 2.0.4 installed.


I used iWeb for a personal project a few years ago.


Im planning on using iWeb for a new project and want to know if its worth me buying iLife 09 for the iWeb update?

Is the newer version more secure?


Thanks

From this forum you can learn that iWeb is not available anymore. And the iLife 11 package disappeared as well.


So you have to search around on eBay.


And iWeb was never insecure.

This link will take you to the only updates (no upgrades) that are or will be available for iWeb 3: Apple - Support - Downloads. As Wyodor told you iWeb is nada, no more, kaput, etc. Apple has decided to go another way, up to the iCloud, and have dropped both iWeb and iDVD.


Both of those apps still work so if you want to get a copy of them while there are still relatively easy to find I suggest you do it soon. A good place to start is Amazon.com: iLife 09.

Thanks Old Toad,


I've ordered iLife 09 from amazon today.

So from what i understand, providing i am using alternative hosting to mobileme, i will be fine.


But now im confused, the updates you pointed me to are for iweb 3. and they say the minimum system requirements are 10.6.4

And i have 10.5.8.


iLife 09 says min requirements 10.5.6 or later.


How up to date will the ilife 09 iweb be?


Thanks

Dave
