If you’re a manager of an iWeb site with photo galleries included, you may want to check those galleries with the latest version of Firefox.

tuaw.com has reported that due to an error in a JavaScript library that the photo galleries on iWeb pages are not loading correctly.

Luckily there is already a fix for such a problem. You can either download and run a script from macupdate.com or follow the instructions on the Apple Discussion boards.

Be sure to get your galleries up and running so that you can share your photos with all your website visitors.

If you’re an iWeb user then you’ll be glad to know that Jumsoft has released a number of new themes for iWeb. These 10 new themes cover a wide variety of possible uses and look to have a complete look and feel to them.

Jumsoft is currently selling a pack of 10 themes for $69.99 but individual themes can be purchased for $9.99 each. If the themes work as well as they look then that seems to be a fair price.

Head over to Jumsoft to see if they have the iWeb theme you’ve been looking for.

If you’re looking for a way to add additional outside content to your iWeb pages than using Google Gadgets may just be what you’re looking for.

We’ve described previously how you can combine Google Docs with Sprout to create registration and comment forms on your iWeb sites and Now we’d like to build on those same principles to quickly show you how to Add Google Gadgets to your iWeb site.

Google Gadgets are filled with informative, fun, and unique pieces of information that you may find useful to your site and to your users.

For example, this Countdown Gadget allows you to set specific details about an event that you’re counting down to. Adding this to your site will allow individuals to see exactly how long it is until the next family reunion, the Hulk Movie, or any other event that you want your users to take note of.

Adding Gadgets

To add these types of Gadgets to your iWeb site navigate to iGoogle. Click the “Add Stuff” button and search for the gadget you’d like to show on your iWeb site.

Once you’ve found the perfect gadget, click to view more information about the gadget and then find the “Embed this Gadget” link to the right under Webmasters.

Now you should be able to customize the gadget to fit with your iWeb site. Click the “Get the Code” button and copy the code provided.

Next, open your iWeb site and find the page you’d like to add the gadget to. Add html snippet and past the code into the html field. Your Google Gadget should now appear on your iWeb site and be ready for your use when you publish your site.

What gadgets have you added to your iWeb site?

Apple provided a number of themes with their iWeb application, but sometimes you may want a bit of a different look or feel from what others are using on their site.

It is true that iWeb has included simple tools that allows you to customize each theme that is part of the application but if you’re not interested in taking the time to customize each and every page, a theme not included in iWeb may be just for you.

After searching the web for iWeb themes it looks like 11mystics.com is the best place to find layouts that can give a custom feel to your site.

It is true that 11mystics.com charges for a majority of their themes but does provide a free theme for users that register with their website. Additionally, they offer a number of images that you can use to help build your website just the way you’d like.

If you’re not sure if you’d like to pay for a new theme, you can check out a number of live examples of others that have used themes created by 11mystics.

Once you’ve downloaded the new theme, an installer will run to add the theme to iWeb. Once its finished the theme you’ve added will be included in your theme options in iWeb and ready for you to add that custom look to your website.

iWeb has allowed individuals to quickly create all kinds of websites. But unfortunately the ability to add forms to these websites is not an included feature.

Luckily, with a bit of help from two free web services, forms can be added to help gather information from individuals visiting your website.

Create the Forms For iWeb

To be able to add forms to your iWeb pages you first need to create them. Google Docs recently added the ability to create forms and have the data collected stored in their spreadsheet application.

To create a form on Google Docs:

1. Login to docs.google.com
2. Open a New Spreadsheet
3. Click the Share tab
4. Check ‘To Fill Out a Form’ and then Start Editing your Form
5. Create your form and click Save
6. Return to your Spreadsheet’s Edit tab and click the link to Go To Live Form. Copy the URL of the Live Form

Now that we’ve created the form we’ll want to put the form into a format that will fit nicely into our iWeb pages. A new web application, Sprout, will help us do just that.

To have Sprout help us setup our forms in a format perfect for our iWeb site:

1. Navigate to Sprout and Get Started with a Blank Slate
2. Add a title for your Form and enter the size you’d like your Form to be on your iWeb page
3. Now that your blank slate is loaded and ready, select Services (under Components on the right) and then Google Forms
4. Instructions on how to add your Google Form to your Sprout will be displayed on your Blank Slate - Paste the URL into the Form URL field on the Right
5. After you’ve pasted the url, hit return and you should see your form on your slate.
6. Now we need to Publish your Slate.. Click Publish in the top Right (You may need to create an account with Sprout - Don’t worry its free)
7. Once your Sprout has been published, copy the code in the box to the right.

Adding the Form to iWeb

Now that we’ve created and formated the Form we need to add it to the iWeb page we’d like it to appear on. To do this, open up iWeb and click Web Widgets and select HTML snippet. Past the code from Sprout into the HTML snippet box and hit enter.

Once this is finished, you should see your Form on your iWeb page. More the Form to the location you’d like to store it on your page and publish your iWeb site. Every time your Form is filled out and submitted, the results will be stored in your Google Docs Spreadsheet for your review.

While this approach does take a few steps to get a form onto your iWeb page, it is a free solution that allows you some customization and storage options for the feedback provided by visitors to your website.
