"The page you have requested could not be found. (404)"

Used iWeb to create a website. Personal domain. Was working fine. Made a minor change to the copy on the site and republished. Now I get the message "The page you have requested could not be found. (404)" on every page of the website.

What's going on?

PowerMac G4 Dual 1.0 GHz, Mac OS X (10.4.9)

You probably changed something in the url which breaks your link. For help you need to provide your personal url so someone can see what the exact problem is.

I assume your site is this?

Thanks! Have you asked the place which has your name? Their server could be down.

What method exactly did you use to point your personal domain name to your web.me.com site -- CNAME or url forwarding?

It's being hosted on MobileMe, and it used to work just fine. I literally changed one word in the body of one paragraph, and now I feel like the $100 bucks a year I'm paying for Mobile Me (and what I paid for iLife) is just a waste.

I remember filling out some CNAME stuff to point my domain to the Apple servers. I was using Google for email, but Apple for the website.

He talked to the people who have his domain name, because they were the ones causing the problem. Whether your is the same is impossible to know -- you might just be spelling the url wrong. What is your url?
