  Apple intends iWeb '08 to help Mac users create polished-looking Web
  sites, but not all of iWeb's features are easily understood or fully
  explained by Apple. The new "Take Control of iWeb: iLife '08
  Edition," a 133-page ebook by iWeb expert Steve Sande, provides
  step-by-step instructions and plenty of time-saving tips to help you
  build a Web site and publish it on either .Mac or another Web host.
  You can watch over Steve's shoulder as he enhances iWeb's templates
  with a designer's eye, using tools like masks, reflections, and
  Instant Alpha. Steve teaches you the best ways to make all types of
  iWeb pages - including blog, podcast, photo, and movie pages - and
  he covers topics that go beyond the basics and way beyond the online
  help. You'll learn how to add special elements to your site, such as
  iPhoto albums and galleries, YouTube videos, Google AdSense ads,
  Google maps, and forms that feed into Google Docs. You'll also find
  coverage of how to edit graphics so your site loads faster, how to
  import podcasts and videos, how to make image maps, and even ideas
  for working with CafePress, Google Checkout, or Zen Cart to create
  an online store. The book is available for $10 in PDF form; those
  who would prefer a book-like, professionally printed copy can get
  one using the Print link on the cover of the ebook for an additional
  $10.99.
