Two Separate Sites

Hello - I have a great personal website set up. All my friends and family are very impressed!

Now I want to set up a second website for a research project I am directing.

I'm fine with having a separate docmac account to do this.

Correct me if I'm on the wrong track here: I register a new domain name. Then, in iWeb I click on "Create a New Site." Then it looks like I click the triangle next to my personal site to close it up and start working on the new one. When the new one is finished I will want to publish it to the new domain name.

How do I set up a second personal domain on iWeb?

Then once that's done can I assume that what will get published - when I click "publish" - is what is showing on the left hand side menu - and I can publish my two websites by simply having the one I want to publish showing in the left hand pane? Somehow that seems too easy.

Thanks, Everyone!

ibook G4, Mac OS X (10.4.7), I have ilife '08 installed

If you do it that way it will want to publish both at the same time to the .mac account that is set up in the user account.
If your going to use a second .mac account I believe the best approach would be to set up a second account on your computer using the second .mac info. That way Iweb will not see both sites at once.

That way you could keep them separate and simply switch user accounts to work on one or the other.
Also if you use a domain name the second account would allow the use of "cname"
Make sense?
If your not concerned about how the site name is displayed when it's accessed you really don't need a second account though.

Thanks, Chuck. I think you're right about how the URL looks. I could just create a new page on my own personal website, take off the navigation links at the top and use that URL. Visitors could navigate the research site by clicking on hyperlinks on each page.

Is there a limit to how many pages we can have on iWeb?

That would be the easy way for sure as it would use the same domain name.
If there's a limit I'm not aware of it.
There are some pretty large sites out there
