Useful iWeb and site resources

I’ve collected here some of the resources which I’ve come across and used in designing my site. These are sites that have inspired me, sites that have provided useful information, and sites giving stuff away for free to use on your own site.

I felt I needed to do this, to give credit where it was due, in helping me achieve what I’ve wanted for my site, and come to think of it, in a very short space of time indeed - just a few weeks. Who would have thought this was possible! I didn’t want those offering such kind help to go unrecognised.

I cannot emphasise enough how much spirit and goodwill there is in the Mac community, something that is completely out of all proportion to our small (but very significant) share of total computer users.

Please visit these people, see for yourself and share in the Apple Mac experience!
