In this tutorial, I am going to show you how you can easily add a forum to your website in iWeb.

The first thing we’re going to do is open our web browser and go to nabble.com.

Next, click on the Start a Free Forum button. Type in a username that you want to use on the forum, and enter your e-mail address and a password.

Then think of the name that you want to give to your forum. Don’t worry too much about making the perfect name as you can easily change this later on.

You can put a description in if you want, otherwise leave it blank and type in the Captcha, and then press Create Forum.

When you are done, you will be taken to your forum. You will need to then open the confirmation e-mail that you will be sent, and then click to confirm. When you have been confirmed, your forum will look something like this.

Next, click on Options, and then select Embedding Options. Now highlight this embed code that you are given, and copy it.

Now let’s open up our sites in iWeb. Add a page by clicking Add Page, and selecting your template and then highlighting the Blank page and pressing the Choose button.

Delete the text box that says Text in it. Drag the HTML Snippet widget onto the page, and paste the embed code that we just copied.

Adjust the snippet so that the forum fits nicely on your page.

When you publish your site, your forum will be live and your users can begin having discussions.
