Plenty of exciting announcements in Steve's MacWorld keynote today, which contained even more good stuff than I expected!

iWeb looks very neat, and I'm eager to give it a fair shot as a possible replacement for the cobbled-together homebrew app I've been using to assemble my site to date. I'll be especially interested to see how it does at automatically building site navigation links, and whether I'll be able to preserve existing URLs for the stuff I've already published. I'm also curious about the extent to which its built-in page templates and stylesheets can be hacked/customized, though the templates it ships with do look nice enough that I may well just throw my current design to the wind and go with something new...

iPhoto's new “photocasting” feature also got my attention. Nice that the delivery mechanism is RSS-based, and the feeds thus open to use by a wider variety of clients. I've enjoyed iPhoto's .Mac slideshow feature, and more and more of the people I know have been getting Macs, but it would be nice to be able to provide the same kind of self-updating feed (and more than one of them, even) in a way that can reach more of my friends and family. Maybe I'll switch to the photocasting approach, instead of inundating you good folks with unsolicited piles of photos in my regular blog feed.

Lots of fun to look forward to!
