iLife 06 Tip: Edit iWeb sites on more than one Mac

I've been poking around in iWeb to create a wedding site for my fiance and I. While I really like the app, I share one of the big peeves around the web: sites created in it are only edit-able on the originating Mac.

Thankfully, MacOSXHints has come to the rescue again, with a fairly simple method for giving your iWeb sites some portability so you can edit them on more than one Mac. Basically, the tip involves tracking down where the iWeb support/package file lives in your Home directory, moving it to something like a flash drive and creating an alias (of sorts) so iWeb is none the wiser.

While this is a fairly simple work-around, I second MacOSXHInts' call to Apple: this really needs to be enabled natively so a work-around like this doesn't have to exist.

You are correct, Natrino and Jonathan: iLife 06 does come with a demo disc of iWork.

I read that there is an iWork demo in the iLife box, but I don't know for sure.

On another note but related - does iLife come with a femo of Keynote at all? Want to try before I buy. The new features aren't overly compelling for the price.

I'm looking forward to getting iLife next week and trying this out. I'm a Dreamweaver user but I reckon I might recommend this to some people who get a bit lost in that.

Noting that it's the end of another tough week please excuse this pedantry, but it's 'my fiance and me', not 'I' (I'm just jealous...) ;-)
