Mini-roundup: Blogging tools

iWeb   [MacUser]
COMPANY: Apple Computer PRICE: £55(£46.80 ex VAT) + Single user £69 (£58 ex VAT) + Family Pack: five users as part of iLife '06 suite  
RATING: ISSUE: 22 11  DATE: May 06
   

Ease of use and elegant design mightbe the Apple watchwords, but sometimes it goes too far. iWeb is a good tool for very basic web design and its blogging tool is no different. If you're happy to have the minimum flexibility and design options, iWeb will suit. There are a number of flaws to the system, but we'll stick to some of the main ones here. The lack of commenting is frustrating and you can't save your own templates. Worse, it's practically impossible to add dynamic page elements such as advertising. Using Apple's supplied guides is great at first, but you'll find that iWeb just can't cut it as you start to move up.
