Using iWeb to its full potential.

14 September, 2009 (11:40) | iWeb | By: n8

For people who don’t know and don’t care to take the time to learn HTML, Apples iWeb is a great tool for building a nice website.

Most people are surprised to hear that MacUnwired.net has been created entirely with iWeb… and I did not use iWeb to its full potential by any means. iWeb can be a very simple tool, but with a little practice you can use it to build really impressive websites.

I found a couple really good sites that give great tutorials in creating more advanced iWeb sites:

Merge windows in Safari.

14 September, 2009 (11:33) | Safari | By: n8

Do you ever start a search online, create a couple of open windows, then want to be able to merge those windows together? There are just two clicks necessary, but it is a feature that most people don’t know about.

Here are the steps:

  1. 1. Click “Window” at the top of your screen (next to file, edit, etc.).

  2. 2. Click “Merge All Windows”. This will put all your open windows and tabs into one window with tabs!


Check out the video below of the process:

Recent Items Stack in Dock (10.5 and 10.6 only).

14 September, 2009 (11:28) | OS 10 | By: n8

There is a really easy way to add a stack in your dock that you can use as a recent applications, documents, or server stack.

Basically the stack updates instantly and provides an easy way to reopen recent items. I have one for applications and one for documents. Give it a try and see what you think. If you decide it is not useful, just pull it out of the dock and it will be deleted.

Here are the steps:

  1. Open up terminal. (Located in your hard drive > applications > utilities > terminal.

  2. Copy and paste this into the terminal window: defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-others -array-add ‘{ “tile-data” = { “list-type” = 1; }; “tile-type” = “recents-tile”; }’

  3. Next, type: killall Dock

  4. Press return.

  5. Quit terminal and check out the new recent applications item in your dock!

  6. If you want to change the stack from recent applications to recent documents, just click and hold on the stack until the menu comes up!
