I am in the process of doing a website for my photography business and I really don't want to 1) pay a company to set up and maintain a website, and 2) spend ages learning how to be a website builder. iWeb is a fantastic piece of software and makes a really nice simple website. Apple must realise that there are a whole bunch of people like me that have their own businesses and want to use iWeb to do a quick, easy to maintain website. Mine is at http://www.steveburrowsimages.com and too keep getting really long URL's. I want to get it shorter and Rage's iWeb SEO tool seems to insist that this can be shortened with no adverse affects (ie SEO, not working with other browsers etc). I have done what was instructed but I can't see any changes. Do I have to wait a couple of hours for the web host to catch up? I remember doing something a while back and was told that I had to wait for it to get on to the web. I'd be interested in your comments. Steve Hi all,

I also find that some sites have problems crawling my blog, probably because of the url structure.

Publish to a folder and upload only this folder to your server. Then your site name will be www.sitename.com, that's all. When you create your site in iWeb, give your first page the name ‘index’.

But I often need to send links to my various blog pages and had to "right click" then "open frame in new tab" in order to get the actual full URL so that I could send someone a link. That worked great until today. For some reason, the URLs on the other pages on my site all now start with the web.me prefix and when I try to send the URL as a link, no one can open it. It redirects you to a page that says Mobile Me can't find the page. So how do you send a link to individual pages within your site created on iweb? Any thoughts??? Thanks!
