Sorry but thats not very easy
Authored by: raywysocki on May 10, '06 07:40:34PM

I can believe the homepage button was really removed!!
I have been planning on buying iLife 06 but just haven't got to a store to do so.
But now I may not!! Until a way to add the homepage button back in iPhoto is found, I doubt I'll buy it.
I use it all the time, I can make a page/site with just HTML, and like what I have seen about iWeb, but I put up pictures all the time using the Homepage button in iPhoto. Its easy and take only a few seconds.

I have sold tons of Mac's, iLife boxs, and .Mac accounts, just showing my customers how easy it was to just click one button in iPhoto to put your pictures online for all your family and friends to see.
I'm no longer there, BUT I really hope they all know they will be losing this feature if they upgrade, I would hate them to spend more money only to find they lost one of the main reasons they bought a Mac, and a .Mac account.

Someone please find how to add the button back!

The functionality has to still be there somewhere. I just used iPhoto5 to put up four photo websites today.
When I told my brother I had e-mailed him a link to the webpage with the pictures, he said he would never be able to make a web page. I told him just this afternoon that I would show him how to do it, but he would have to buy a .Mac account. Now I doubt I'll do it, He will lose the ability once he gets iPhoto 6(maybe it will even vanish from older versions too) He has been thinking of upgrading his iBook when they switch to intel, and that will mean it will have iPhoto6 with no Homepage.

Of the many, many problems I have with iPhoto, one of the biggest is that it's slower'n molasses in January. Another huge problem, a dealbreaker, really, is that every new version seems to require that you convert your photo album, such that it can't be opened by an earlier version of iPhoto. That's what keeps you from rolling your Mom's Mac back to a version of iPhoto that actually suits her needs.

They are just image files -- there's no need to tie them up in some proprietary database, but that's what iPhoto does. Now if you want them back, you either use this crummy, slow, program that's inconsistent from version to version -- or you browse many, many levels of folders.

I prefer to tag my images with Spotlight comments now. The only reason iPhoto opens on my Mac is to get pics from the camera.
