This is a pretty simple hint, but if you’re like me, and have a number of templates that you’ve created in Pages, you probably wish they were organized in the Template Chooser, rather than being all displayed together in the My Templates section.

You can create your own sub-grouping under My Templates by navigating to your user’s Library » Application Support » iWork » Pages » Templates folder. Here you will see one folder (My Templates) which contains any templates that you’ve already created. You can create new folders at this level, adjacent to My Templates for your new subgroups. Note that you can’t create folders inside of My Templates; they won’t show up in Pages.

In my case, I created folders for each of the companies I work with, and one Personal folder for my own letters. In each folder, I have Letter.template, Invoice.template, Case Study.template, etc. My Personal folder only contains Letter.template.

After creating the folders, simply move your templates from My Templates into the appropriate new folders. You can/should leave the My Templates folder there, even if it is empty. If you delete it, Pages will re-create it anyway — it’s required because it’s the default location for any new templates you create.

If you want to again see all of your templates in the Template Chooser, just select My Templates from the left-side hierarchy. (Any templates left loose in the Templates folder, however, will not be shown, even when selecting My Templates from the Template Chooser.)

Annoyingly, the My Templates folder is always re-created each time you go to save a new template. Once created, this will then show up as another sub-group My Templates in the Template Chooser.

If you’d like to undo this hint, simply move all your templates back to the folder My Templates inside Templates, then delete all of your now-empty subgroup folders. Next time you open Template Chooser, all of your templates will simply appear under My Templates, and there will no longer be any subgroups (including the annoying My Templates subgroup).

For Espresso’s sidebar and blockquote we’re using a method for rounding the corners that is part of the CSS 3 standard. This is used on many popular sites and services like Twitter and Apple. It provides nice, lightweight, rounded corners and in older browsers that do not support it it degrades gracefully to normal squared off boxes as to not cause problems for your users.

MailSteward is the ultimate email archiving solution for the Mac. MailSteward archives email in a relational database for easy access and safe backup of all your email. Whether you manage a business, are an independent professional, or just a person with a lot of email, for legal reasons, business reasons, and personal reasons, it is essential to be able to safely archive and easily search your email.

* Safely archive your large volume of vital email information
* Easily access your email database with fast, sophisticated searching
* Protect your essential email data from data format obsolescence
* Get rid of duplicate emails
* Satisy Federal legal requirements mandated by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP)

Pricing and Availability:
MailSteward comes in three versions, MailSteward Lite ($24.95), MailSteward ($49.95), and MailSteward Pro ($99.95). The Lite version of MailSteward has all of the archiving and searching functionality of MailSteward, but lacks the advanced search, the ability to save frequently used searches, and the features of exporting, tagging, and merging databases.

MailSteward Pro has all of the features of MailSteward, but uses the MySQL Server software for its database, rather than the SQLite database engine used by MailSteward and MailSteward Lite. Regular MailSteward, using SQLite, can handle large volumes of email, 100,000 or more, but for very large volumes that require an industrial grade relational database server, MailSteward Pro is the answer. MailSteward Pro requires a MySQL database server to be installed and running.

HTML codes and Javascripts are terrific tools to help you build interesting content for your web site. For example, you can add trailing cursors, music, falling objects such as snow or image rollovers, calendars, scrolling texts, navigation menus, flash graphics and much more. Thousands of free scripts are available to you in the Internet for use on your Web pages. There is no longer need to edit script code by hand: iWeb Valet now includes a selection (and other will come) of those scripts that are compatible to iWeb and a powerful function to easily add them to your iWeb pages.

And More! Version 2.0 adds also the ability to works on a temporary copy of your site folder, so now iWeb Valet can modify any local site as it do with the local folders published by iWeb: use it with Dreamweaver or Golive local sites as well.

Feature Highlights:
* Add many powerful widgets to your web pages
* Personalize iWeb page titles by adding a prefix of you choice
* Add a favicon to your iWeb HTML pages
* Fool spam bots by encoding all email address in your iWeb pages, so that the email couldn’t be picked up by these bots
* Add META tags to provide more information about your webpages and gain a top ranking on crawler-based search engines that support tags
* Perform multiple ’search and replace’ operations on all html files contents at once; you can easily make changes of simple text chunks as well as html tags and iWeb default naming conventions
* Encode special characters inside your web pages to solve some display anomaly in non-English texts
* Change the maximum size of all JPEG images of your site simultaneously and very quickly
* Apply a fixed compression ratio to all JPEG images of your iWeb site folder, to save space in your web server
* Add to your iWeb site folder other folders and files not managed by iWeb (favicon, programs, documents, etc.)
* Preview your modified pages in a browser at any time; you don’t have to upload it to a web server first. When you preview a page, all browser-related functions should work, including JavaScript behaviors, absolute links, etc
* Work on a temporary copy of your site folder: use iWeb Valet with Dreamweaver or Golive local sites as well.

And after those changes, iWeb Valet can quickly upload the contents of your iWeb folder to a web site, with:

* Size comparison files check: iWeb Valet will only upload files that have changed (or new files). This saves time, because you will avoid, whenever you make a single change in iWeb, to re-upload the entire site.

* Option to remove the files in the destination when correspondent file is not present in the source directory, in order to save space in your web server, which will provide more room for documents as your site expands.

Other powerful iWeb Valet features:

* Backup/Restore functions (in compressed format) to protect your iWeb sites files from accidental data loss.
