where do I find "domain" in Lion?

I want to modify my site from another computer.iWeb helps tells me following:

Websites you create in iWeb are stored in one file, called “Domain,” on your computer.

You can copy this file to another computer as a backup or to work on your site from another location. For example, you may want to be able to update your website from home and from work.

The Domain file is located in the Library/Application Support/iWeb/ folder in your home folder.

I can't find iWeb in Application Support. Spotlight can't find it and Spotlight can't find "Domain"

What do I have to look for?

I use "Lion"

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.1)

Hello OT, wow I can't believe it, I did it! It worked, everything you said worked. Your compiler, like magic. I was almost sure I didn't have that domain file saved because like you said, spotlight didn't find it. But FAF did. I muddled around a bit at first, the first time I opened up a very old version of my website. But then I realized there were multiple files called DomainSites2 on my EHD, so I went back and chose the most recent one and there it is! Im thrilled, may not seem like a big victory to most but this is a huuuuge accomplishment for this chicken plucking at the keyboard level computer genius. You should be cast in bronze, thanks a million

This is more a question for old toad or anyone who knows I did this step 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder and now can see my library folder, but I-web is not under application support like its supposed to be, anyone know why I can't see that even after I went to the terminal and added that command?

Magic location : Home directory, in Unix speak ~

Or click the housy icon.

Or do Command-Shift-H.

If you're looking in the wrong Library folder as suggests there won't be an iWeb folder. Also if you've not yet launched iWeb on your Mac there won't be an iWeb subfolder in the Applications Support folder. In the latter case create an iWeb folder and place it in the Applications Support folder.

Graphically here's where you want to be looking:
