Sage owners will be happy – Aerolite Sage for iWeb 2.0 was just uploaded. If you purchased Aerolite Collection or Aerolite Sage, please log in to your store account to find and download the installation files.
Duplicating these is incredibly mind-numbing so please browse these pages carefully and see if I missed little things. For the page with white backgrounds, I have to monkey with the quote color because inevitably the accent color, i.e. sage, doesn’t work on the grey backgrounds of the quote boxes. Red worked okay and so did Aqua, but Ice and Sage were too close to the grey color so I used white instead.
I’ll do orange now. Then I think Aerolite is complete and we’ll move on to Zones and the others.
I’ve had tons of people requesting AquaPRO so that theme will come sooner than later. I’ll try to get beta versions of everything done this week so hold tight :)

Hi Daniel,
No, what you are seeing on my web site is still 1.0. I am not going to mess with uploading 2.0 until I have the kinks worked out as much as possible. So, I am trying to build the same thing in 2.0 while maintaining the 1.0 on a daily basis. Since it is a business, I can’t afford for it to be down.
The contact page was made possible by WUFOO at: http://wufoo.com/
They have a customizable form that is very easy to build and the one I am using is FREE – can’t beat that! They do have other forms that are more involved and do other things that they charge a nominal fee for, but this one works great and is very easy and quick to set up. It responds by sending the completed form to any email address you choose. Yes, it builds the code for you and you just insert and upload. Your site is working fine for me, but you may have gotten it figured out by now.
And I see you are just *right down the road in Douglasville*. My wife & I used to live in Austell ourselves.
Suzanne, I was completely amazed when I copied and pasted because the nav bar was not included in the *copy* part of the 1.0 page. It seems as if when I imported my 1.0 site into 2.0 and then added a 2.0 Blank, the 2.0 Blank page was just waiting to *receive* the copy & paste and then picked up the navigation bar verbatim from the 1.0 pages. So somewhere along the line the navigation bar of the imported pages was hidden until allowed to come out in the 2.0 code. Does this make any sense? ;~)
I did not have 1.0 open along with 2.0. What I did is open the 1.0 in 2.0 and I think it asked me if I wanted to *convert* – I said yes and it seems that everything in 1.0 did sucessfully convert to 2.0 EXCEPT, no Navigation Bar. I then went to File>New Page and loaded up one of the Aerolite Black Blanks, went back to the converted 1.0 Welcome page, selected everything that I could grab and copied then pasted on the 2.0 Blank.
To quote Emeril, BAM it worked!
I have only had a chance to work on one of the other pages and there are some graphic issues to deal with – such as the page background image fill that need resizing because I can’t grab the background box – but it seems to be something I can overcome with a little more familiarity. Plus alot of my pages are just dupes of the same templates.
Whew, I am out of breath!
Thanks,
John
Okay, I think my head is spinning LOL. I’m so tired tonight I’m not even going to try to figure that out, but I’m glad that worked. :) yes you approach works too – as long as you rebuild the pages with a new page from the 2.0 theme, you should be set for success.
I see so many people at the iWeb forums just out there whining and not doing anything. My lord… one guy said, “I’ve wasted four hours over this!” I wanted to tell him to stop wasting our time with his whining and go rebuild his site with 2.0 pages (which would have taken about 10 minutes since he had a whopping five pages on his site – all made with the blank page). He’s going to complain anyway so he might as well complain about having to rebuild his pages and get a working site rather than just complaining and not get a working site. Some peoples’ logic defies the laws of the Universe.
Okay I am tired – I’m whining about whiners. See you all bright and early :)
Suzanne,
OK, here is the *new* version of http://www.ppoh.com using your new templates and iWeb 2.0.
Still a couple of bugs to work out but I just finished the 1st draft this pm and uploaded. Took forever to finish on the upload.
Thanks again for your diligence.
John
You’ve always done a nice job with that site John – how’d the conversion go? I see you’ve managed to maintain some of the old layouts there :)
Thanks.
The conversion went pretty well once I got used to the process. Plus learning how some of the new 2.0 pages actually worked.
I figured I would worry about the 2.0 learning curve after I saw if what I was trying to do would actually work!! ;~)
I actually created a *blank* of the template & layout that I used the most and just plugged the pictures and copy in.
As I have said so many times, I just fell in love with the old Sage templates and layouts and didn’t want to give them up.
Seems like there would be some chance to switch themes with your custom designed templates rather than have to take the lead from Apple…???
