Modify iPhoto web page button names Apps
Ever export an album as a web page from iPhoto? When you do so, and as you click on the thumbnails to enlarge each image, you see and Up button to jump back to the thumbnail view. Would you rather see Home instead of Up?

In the Finder, open your Applications folder and control-click on iPhoto (make sure it's not running). Select Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu, and navigate into Contents -> Plugins -> HTMLExporter.iPhotoExporter -> Contents -> Resources -> English.lproj. Find the Localizable.strings file in that folder, and make a duplicate of it. Now move the duplicate elsewhere, in case you need to revert to it in the future. Open Localizable.strings with TextEdit and scroll down where you see HTMLUpPage = "Up"; and change Up to Home, and save the file. The next time you export an album as a web page, you'll have a Home button instead of an Up button.

If you want to have much control over the look of albums exported from iPhoto, take a look at an iPhoto plugin called BetterHTMLExport (it costs money, but I've found to be extremely worthwhile). You can use a pre-built template, or tweak up a new one, to have all sorts of control over how your album pages look and behave.

There is also a freeware program that looks similar, called CustomHTMLExport. I've never tried this one, as by the time it appeared I was a very happy user of BetterHTMLExport.
