When I update to Mountain Lion later this month, will I still be able to run iWeb?

Apple has released some info on the features in ML but full details are yet to come. All we can do is be patient and wait to see if all of our favorites are there.
Nobody knows for sure yet, but since MobileMe is being taken down I suppose it will cease to exist, get updated or will be replaced with a new service.
Here is some info on MobileMe and the role it plays re. iCloud and iWeb - it appears you can keep using iWeb with another web hosting service (scroll down):

@ macintosh290:
MobileMe ceased to exist on June 30th.
I have already made the transition to another web hosting service because of the demise of MobileMe. The Apple page discussing MobileMe transitions clearly talks about the fact that you will be able to use iWeb after MobileMe disappears. However, I assume this means iWeb will work with Lion. No mention of it working with Mountain Lion. Isn't Mountain Lion going to be all 64 bit and will that affect iWeb?

That no one here will be able to answer until after ML is released (and if they do know, they would not be allowed to discuss it). Since iWeb is no longer included in the iLife apps, we can only guess how long Apple will support or update an application (the same applies to iDVD as well). Although I've never used iWeb, I've seen posts here from people using it with Lion - I just typed iWeb in the "search communities" search box in the upper right corner and quite a few threads popped up, so you might want to peruse those.
There have been mixed reports on iWeb in ML. However, if using iWeb is critical for you get an external HD or create a new volume on your current drive and install Leopard on it so you can boot into it and run iWeb and any other app that won't run in Lion or ML.
