Hey, I'm currently a windows xp user (accepting boo's) and thinking about getting a macbook pro after my GCSEs. I was just browsing around on the Apple UK website, and it showed me a video about 'websites' and how macs have default templates you can use for a blog. This interests me very much indeed =D, and I was wondering if there were any examples I could have a gander at, as I enjoy doing a bit of webdesign now and then as I can code in HTML and PHP, but I'm looking forward to an easy method of just using templates to base a blog on.
Thanks for your help =D

Are you near an Apple Store? If so, I suggest going there and taking a look at the application called iWeb which comes standard on every Mac. At an Apple Store they will let you mess around with iWeb and a bunch of other programs on the Mac.

Yeh, I've been reading up, but apparantly to gain all the full features of iWeb, you need a .Mac account, which from what ive seen is fairly naff as well, with a poxy 1gb space and slow transfer rate for UK users (me!) and at such a high cost! I want to see one of those default blogs from iWeb on the internet but not on the .mac website, as I want to see if it would still look any good.
Bit disappointed tbh, only time apple have let me down - EVER.

Me and my wife use iWeb to post information that would be useful to our family overseas. NB: We do NOT have a .Mac account. So you can see two examples of iWeb templates at these two web sites (click on the "News" links at the top to see the 'blogs'):

Oh wow, thanks, so is it true that image effects do not work on external websites?

I don't think having it on an external website makes any difference (apart for the minor hassle of uploading). But then I've no idea by what you mean by 'image effects'. What does this mean?

So I've heard, image effects such as the different kind of colouring you can give to images (like in photo application in iLife), and where you can have the image reflection thing as well, as they are rather cool!

The image effects are typically just rendered as PNGs, so it's not dependent on the hosting server.

Why not just create a Blogger or WordPress account or something?
