Shutterbug receives major overhaul

Shutterbug by xtralean software allows you to make online photo galleries (and more) easily. Construction is drag-and-drop simple and the supplied templates don't scream "I'm using a default template!" Alternatively, if you're the type that likes to design things yourself, you can do that too.

Last week, Shutterbug 2.0 was released with more than thirty new features and several new templates (including one that looks a lot like iWeb's "watercolor" theme). Some of the big changes include:
  • Support for QuickTime movies and Mp3 files
  • The ability to create contact forms, page counters, HTML snippets and external HTML pages
  • Thumbnail rollovers
  • Layered images
There's more, of course, and you can get the full run-down here. Shutterbug requires Mac OS 10.3.9 or 10.4.3 or later. It's universal, and a single license will cost you $50US.

Handy iWeb tip on the .Mac blog

I believe I've found the perfect use for iWeb. I've used it to create a family site for all of my far-flung relatives. They couldn't care less about trackback pings, comments, validation or any of that stuff. They just want to see cute pictures and videos of the kids, and I want to spend as little time as possible maintaining the "kids' site." iWeb is the perfect answer.

Up until now, I've been manually deleting the caption under each new photo that I add (usually something like "IMG003.JPG"). Thanks to this tip from the official .Mac blog, I don't have to do that anymore. Select a photo in an image gallery and open the inspector. A slider appears under the heading "Caption Height." Slide it all the way to the left and the captions are gone. I like it.

Tip of the Day

To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.
