Our trip led to thousands of photos. Here are some of our favorites. We hope
you enjoy looking at them almost as much as we did taking them.
Now that the text is done, let’s add photos to the page.
Adding Pictures and Other Content to the Page
An iWeb Photos page has a large content region that is occupied by the photo
grid. As you add more photos, the grid expands to show more photos. You can
also rearrange the order of photos and add captions. When a visitor clicks on a
photo, it’s shown in the detail view that the page provides.
1 Make sure the Media Browser is open and select the Photo tab.
2 Double-click an empty area near a photo thumbnail to return to the
Events view.
3 Select the Bhutan Event and drag it from the Media Browser to the photo
grid on the Photos page.

The grid updates to show all of your photos. Let’s rearrange some photos.
4 In the Columns pop-up in the Photo Grid window, change the number of
columns to 4.
5 Click the Album Style pop-up menu and choose the red border.
The thumbnails update to show a new border.
With 21 different album styles to choose from, iWeb lets you cus-
tomize the look of your site. Be sure to explore your options when you
build your first personal website.
6 Try dragging the photos around to rearrange them. Move a few photos
until you’re happy with the order on the page.

7 Click the placeholder text below a photo and type a caption.
For this lesson, add your own descriptive captions based on the photo’s
content. There are no wrong answers here—just give it a try.
If you need space for bigger captions, you can type up to seven
lines using the Photo Grid window. To turn off captions, click a photo and
set the caption lines to 0 in the Photo Grid window.
8 Let’s try out the album. Double-click the thumbnail “Crowd at festival.”

A detail page opens. This particular item is a movie that was stored in the
iPhoto library. You can also add movies to Photos pages, which makes
them truly flexible.
9 Click the Next button.
The page looks good, but you can customize it in the Inspector window.
10 Click the Inspector button in the toolbar and then select the Photos
inspector (it’s the second button)
11 Click the Photos button and select the checkbox next to “Allow comments.”
Visitors can now comment on your pictures.
NOTE
You must publish the site using MobileMe in order to use com-
ments. A warning dialog likely popped up and told you this already. Click
OK to close the window.
NOTE
If you allow comments, you need to monitor them. iWeb keeps in
contact with your site and tells you when new comments have appeared,
and it gives you the ability to delete individual comments if someone posts
an inappropriate one. Monitor the page after you publish it; otherwise,
you may find inappropriate or offensive comments piling up.
