iWeb : Publish to MobileMe without the Sitename in the URL

How to publish to MobileMe without the iWeb Site name.

Go to the Finder.

Type Command-K (Connect to Server from the Go menu).

Copy/paste or type this line : http://idisk.me.com/MobileMeUserName/Web/Sites/

Use your own MobileMe user name.

Type Command-Shift-C to see the local Volumes and verify the iDisk Sites folder has mounted.

Open iWeb and create a Site. Or use an existing Site.

Name it Sites.

Choose to publish to a folder.

But Do not select a folder to publish to.

In the path field just type /Volumes/

You have to mount the iDisk Sites folder before publishing. Otherwise a Sites folder will be created in Volumes.

To easily mount the iDisk Sites folder, create an alias first.

Drag the iDisk Sites icon on top of your Username or Desktop icons in the Finder sidebar.

To mount the folder, select the Sites icon and type Command-R.

Now you can publish your iWeb pages.

Note that RSS and subscription feeds do not work.

And this set-up only works for ONE Site.

More iWeb Sites need to be published to a iWeb Sitesname folder.

You have to check the index.html file in the iDisk Sites folder to see that it redirects to the correct webpage.

Practice.
