My time is worth more than the cost of the theme. Hi John – I agree – if I were a customer, I’d want that too. My time is worth more than the cost of the theme.

Close iWeb before doing this. 1. Right click on iWeb icon, select Show Package Contents from menu. 2. Navigate to Themes folder. 3. Decide which theme you want to duplicate and then right click on it. Select Duplicate from the menu. 4. Rename the copy to your new theme name. 5. Find the file (in that same folder called themesortorder.plist. Open it with a code editor or with TextEdit. 6. You will see entries in a list for all the Apple themes. Create an identical entry for your new theme, making sure that your entry is on its own line just like the others. Use the exact name you used to name the .webtheme file. Save and close that file. 7. Now right click on your new theme and select Show Package Contents from the menu. A new Finder window will open. 8. Find the Shared folder and open it. 9. In the Shared folder, you will find About Me.xml.gz, Blog.xml.gz, Welcome.xml.gz and so on... one XML file for each of the 8 page types. 10. Double click About Me.xml.gz. It will unzip itself and create About Me.xml in the same folder. Look for it at the end of the list of files if you're in icon view. 11. Before opening About Me.xml, use MassReplaceIt to find all instances of >< and replace them with: < > This will insert line breaks for you. If you don't do this, you will be sorry. 12. Rename About Me.xml.gz to About Me.xml.gz.backup. If you don't do this and you write to me and ask why your changes aren't appearing on your new pages, I will spew flames through the Internet at you and light your Mac on fire! >:) 13. Now open About Me.xml. Now you can edit and change the XML all you want. Any new pages you build with that page template will show your changes. Open iWeb and give it a try. At this point, you're on your own to learn the XML. I've written so much about how to edit the XML in my articles here and at the Apple iWeb forums so I'm not going to get into that right now. Here are the steps to duplicate a theme. Close iWeb before doing this.
1. Right click on iWeb icon, select Show Package Contents from menu.

2. Navigate to Themes folder.

11. Before opening About Me.xml, use MassReplaceIt to find all instances of >< and replace them with:

<

This will insert line breaks for you. If you don't do this, you will be sorry.

I’ve gotten so far, as if I delete the entire “templates” folder within iWeb… nothing happens… it still have everything in terms of templates to pick from…

and the “themes” folder doesn’t really contain anything… no individual xml files as I can see… no content, but still.. if you move them, templates chooser in iweb does not work….

I’m really puzzled, but I wanna make my own stuff… do you have any wise insights you can share ?
