I think i did something stupid.
I bought a URL name and I paid for a .mac membership thinking it would be the EASIEST way to get a nice looking blog up and running. I test ran all of it with iWeb and seemed to be getting what I wanted in terms of flexibility and design. I even paid a little bit of money for a nice template.
In the past, I have used Wordpress and Typepad, but was attracted to iWeb/.mac because i could drag pics in from iPhoto and i really liked the designs i could do, etc.
The ONE thing i am not happy with.....I don't like the looks of the iWeb blogs. I hate that the "summary" has a "feed" of plot posts where you can only see bits of each post on the main page. I want it to read like blogger, etc.
I fixed this by just making the summary entries longer. I got things ALMOST perfect. BUT... pictures I embed in those summaries are NOT showing up (not the "main" pic, but pics throughout the post). I have googled and search and whatnot and just can't find a solution to this problem. Is this an iWeb problem or .mac problem or just ME not having the know how?
Did i make a big mistake with .mac / iweb? Is there an easier way? I'm not so good at figuring out the xml problems on my own, i've tried to custom edit but....What are my options? Go back to Typepad? another Mac software like iWeb?
PLease advise!
