@David – My info is not too up to date but have you tried putting a copy of the site files on your iDisk?

Here is a tutorial from Apple; see if it will work for you:

Is there a way to use a third party template with I Web?

If not, where can I get the necessary info to put a third party website on my Mobile Me host?

@Anu – The easiest is to build it in iWeb and then click on “Publish” under the File menu. If you want it to sit at a unique web address, you can manage those settings by logging in to you account http://www.me.com. You will have to update a setting wherever you manage your web address, as explained in your ME account. Click on “Personal Domain” for the step by step instructions.

If you have an existing site you want to publish under your dot me account, this is more complicated. You post the files to your iDisk first. Here is more information on that.

Hi there,
Making a website with iWeb was quite straight forward (even for me whos knowledge is fairly basic!), and I put together one for myself to display my photos. Now I’d like to create a new one for a friend, and I’m not sure how to make iweb understand that this is a different website… When I publish the new one to a folder it takes the old one with is and saves that there too. Is it possible to make multiple websites with different web-addresses and so on??
Best wishes,
Ingvild

Hello Roxanne,
The end of the year crunch has kept me very busy. My friend will have her website up soon. When she does, I’ll send you the link. She’s quite quite happy with what she has done, imported a jpg and then “did her page” over the top of it.

I decided to register lavallelinn as domain name with Yahoo and use that to forward my mac.com site. Now I don’t need to use tinyurl as much.

Also, one of my resolutions is to add to the Thailand photos. I hadn’t taken my computer with me like I had in Chicago and Stockholm so there are many more photos to be included.

Thanks for your feedback LaValle. I continue to be amazed at how “easy” things are once I’ve figured them out. Glad this was useful. And I love doing screen casts when I can find the time!

I loved your pics of Thailand – it is one of my favorite places.

I did discover that u cannot really mess with the bones of the styling in mac sites; has she tried placing a text box right on top of a photo – not a photo place holder that has the masking feature already embedded?

Yes, you did an amazing “executive” summary.

I’ve used both iweb and the web gallery functions. The Chicago, Oregon with the Boys, and Thailand sites are examples of the iweb. Chicago and Oregon are the better ones.

And yes a screen cast would be good.

I found your site because I’m trying to help a friend build hers. She wants to do “stuff” like have writing over a photo. Still looking for that.
