TrashIt! (free)
http://www.nonamescriptware. com/?page_ id=5
If you drop either a folder or file(s) onto TrashIt's program icon,
it will delete what you dropped on it, no matter where those files or
folders reside. (They don't have to be in the Trash can.)
If you simply double-click on TrashIt's program icon, it will delete
what is in your trash.

It's hard to make a recommendation based on so little explanation of
what you want to do, but this might suit your needs:
Mail Act-On $25
http://www.indev.ca/MailActOn. html
One of the really nice things about Apple's Mail is that Apple
designed it so that it is both extensible and scriptable. That,
combined with the fact that so many people use it, means that you can
often find add-ons for Mail to make it do whatever you want it to do.

For my most commonly used folders I made a folder in ~/Documents call Favorites. Into that folder I Option-Command dragged aliases to all my favorite apps. Then I dragged the Favorites folder to my Dock. So now I have a folder where I can access all my regularly-used Apps and docents. To add to that list or delete from it I just go to ~Documents/Favorites and delete aliases from it or add Aliases from it. But meanwhile that folder i in my Dock. I use it all the time for quick launching of documents and folders I use frequently.

I suggest that if your router has the capability, you switch from WEP to WPA2 for securing your wireless router and use a strong password. WEP is trivially easy to break into. If you need a password generator, you can download free ones from the app store. I typically use 20 character passwords for all my various accounts and use keychain to store them. Use of alphanumeric and special characters makes for a good passcode or password. Friends tell me I am obsessive about security, but I've never had the problems others have had even in Windows environments.

Best of luck with your wireless adventures. I am envious of your internet connection speeds.

WEP is not as good as WPA or, better, WPA2.

Yup, simple to run a packet sniffer and have a WEP key within minutes.
WPA2 is the preferred method of securing a router these days.

Hi Randy,
Thanks for the pointers. I'll give BlueGriffon a look as time permits. It looks pretty decent in terms of being a basic WYSIWYG HTML editor and claims HTML5 and CSS3 ready. I'll give it a shot once I get home. I really appreciate the good information you contribute to the Mac community.

Cool. Not everybody needs or desires the flexibility or object-oriented approach of say Joomla, Wordpress or Drupal. That said, there are things that they provide that make creating a very complex, very beautiful personal or business website fairly straightforward once one learns the platform. For the original poster, that may not be worth learning one of them. For me, it's worth playing with all three to polish my skills. I have looked at the code generated by at least one Wordpress template and was underwhelmed. OTOH, some of the well written, for money, templates take care of a lot of things like supporting mobile platforms, users with disabilities and so forth that's time-consuming and tedious to do "by hand". One other Mac only option is Rapid Weaver....I have an older version and it does a decent job.

Please let us know how you like it. It works basically the way that
a word processor works, so you should find it really easy to use.
Some things are hidden a couple of layers deep in menu choices, where
you wouldn't expect to find them (it took me about 20 minutes to
figure out how to simply set a background color for a page one
evening), and that's where the free video training becomes
invaluable. The program is surprisingly powerful, but you can't see
that from a superficial look at it.
BlueGriffon really excels at letting you quickly update an existing
Web page.

Re: working in iWeb on iPad2?

I don't think there's an iWeb app available iPad at all. Mobile-Me is going the way of the dust bin come June 1 - it will vanish, from what I hear, but iWeb will still work in other places. Why do you want to use it? Do you upload elsewhere?
There are other web-apps available for the iPad. I've been using WordPress. It's not perfect but it works.
