Shattered by iWeb's Demise

Apple created an amazing application many years ago with the introduction of the iLife suite. It was called iWeb and it made building a personal website fun and reasonably easy. With MobileMe, one could self-publish their website online. Business decision after business decision, Apple resolved to do away with MobileMe among other apps, including iWeb. They claimed the program would be phased out on newer versions of their operating systems. Over the years, the app was still available with third party domain hosting, but unsupported by Apple's tech services. Apple continued to send plenty of warnings of iWeb's eventual and permanent demise. And so it happened this week with the Mojave 10.14.6 update. iWeb is unresponsive. I've invested almost 12 years into my personal website and now, it's gone. Perhaps I'll strengthen my coding skills and come back with a vengeance. But for now, my very resourceful website is lost in the cloud. RIP iWeb. Oh well, grateful to have The Blogagerie as a creative outlet and invaluable resource in the absence of my iWeb site.
