Blogs and Web Sites

Is it possible in iWeb, to create a website (of which I have nearly finished -www.photographybykaren.co.uk) and create a blog, but keep them as separate addresses?
i.e I need the web site to be my 'work thing' and the blog to be for friends and family.So I don't really want clients linking to my blog. Can I keep them unconnected? I'm a little confused how to do it, if so!
Thanks guys.

Just make your blog the only page in a second site.

I am pretty new to iWeb but you can go into the inspector then go to page inspector and disable your blog as a link in the main page. Before you do that, navigate to that page and find the link so you know the page address. You can then give that address to your friends without having a link to it from your main page.

If you are publishing to .Mac its easier to build your blog on a separate domain file so that you can open it in iWeb, work on it and publish it on its own.
You can do this using the freeware application iWebsites...

http://mistergregg.com/cocoadrillosoftware/iWebSites/

... or follow the instructions here...

http://web.mac.com/mark8heaton/iWeb/DomainSeparation/SiteSeparation.html

When you publish to .Mac the URL will be....

http://web.mac.com/username/WebsiteName/PageName.html

The "Blog" website will exist in a separate folder on your iDisk at this location......
Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites.

If you are publishing to a server you have a number of options and should post back for details.
