The above is from a review of iWeb on the MacWorld site.  I have two  
novice questions for the group:

Am I correct that iPhoto does not have the ability to save a photo at  
lower resolution, so I have to use the photoshop lite software that  
came with my scanner?

Will I want to save photos at 640v480 or at a somewhat higher  
resolution?

By the way, iWeb's templates are pretty cool.  But I've noticed some  
limits in the "embedded" slots for photos to jazz up a page -- they  
always have to be the shape of the templates, and are cropped to  
fit.  I can live with that, but it's a shame the "magic" isn't even  
more powerful.  But if these things were perfect, I guess we wouldn't  
shell out money for the annual upgrades.

My rudimentary site, constructed over the past week.
