Organizing photo albums and movies on one page

You can use the My Albums template to create a pictorial index for your photo albums and movies. From this index, visitors can click an image of the album or movie to go to a separate page where they can view the album or movie in its entirety. They can also drag their pointer over an album to skim through the photos it contains.

When you add photo albums and movies to a My Albums template, just the albums page appears in your website’s navigation menu. The individual photo and movie pages that link from the albums page do not.

You can add up to 99 albums and movies to a My Albums template, and you can create as many albums pages as you’d like.

To create an albums page:

  1. If you have more than one website, select the site you want to add the albums page to by selecting any of its pages in the sidebar on the left of the iWeb window.

  2. Click the Add Page button in the toolbar at the bottom of the iWeb window.

  3. Image of Add Page button.
  4. In the template chooser, select a theme from the list on the left, and then double-click the My Albums template on the right to choose it.

  5. Do either of the following:

    • Drag albums and movies from the Media Browser.

      If the Media Browser isn’t open, click the Show Media button in the toolbar at the bottom of the iWeb window, and then click Photos or Movies. You can also drag movies and photos directly from the Finder to the My Albums template.

      Drag your first item to the media placeholder on the page; you can drag additional items to an empty area of the page.

      iWeb creates a new photos page or movie page for the items you added and adds the page to the list in the sidebar below the albums page name. Click “Back to Index” on the photos page, or click the albums page in the sidebar, to return to the albums page.

    • In the sidebar on the left of the iWeb window, drag movie and photos pages you’ve already created to the albums page in the sidebar.

  6. Modify the layout of the page if you want, changing the frame around the thumbnails, the number of columns on the page, and so on.

To change the title of a photo album or movie on the index page, double-click the name of the corresponding photos or movie page in the sidebar on the left of the iWeb window, and then type a new name.
