Ok, I thank everyone for their imput. I am going to upgrade to 10.4.11
and move forward. My goal here is to do some work on a non-profit's
website. I really have no experience with site construction or
development. Is iWeb a step in the right direction? I have been able
to figure out most things on my mac for years, so I thought I would
try to help with the website. Am I being reasonable? If so, should I
go with iLife 06 or 08 ? thank you for all your knowledge.

I might also add, the website I am looking to work on is stone axe
simple. It may have a downloadable form and a link to a blog, but
that is about it. JC

iWeb is pathetic. I use DreamWeaver. Purists use Notepad.
