Since the move from mobile me to icloud, my personal website (that I made on iweb) no longer works. How do I fix this?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.7)
Click on this Apple doc:
Frequently asked questions about the MobileMe transition and iCloud
...and read the section "What happened to iWeb sites published to MobileMe?"
You need to go and register a domain name and purchase hosting from somewhere like GoDaddy or Hostexcellence and upload your site there.
You have had a year to move your site, plus several notifications from Apple regarding MobileMe closing down, so this should not have come as too much of a shock to you.
If you are using the latest version of iWeb you have two other ways to publish your website...

There are lots of places to host your site and here are some tips for chosing one...

If you had a domain name with your MobileMe published site you will need to contact your domain name registrar to get it to point at the new location of the files. Otherwise you can register one - usually for free - with your new hosting service.
You will need a 3rd party web host. There are free & paid options out there I chose to go the paid rout & I host with IX Webhosting which has worked well for me ($3.95 a mo. USD w/2 year commitment). Host Excellence is another good web host and people seem to be pretty happy with rage web hosting as well.
Both IX Webhosting & Host Excellence offer the ability to host multiple websites on a single hosting account
How you publish your website will depend on what version of iWeb you have.
iWeb '09 (3.0.4) you can publish to an FTP Server or a local folder
iWeb '08 you can publish your website to a local folder
When publishing your website to a folder you will then need to upload your website with an FTP program like CyberDuck.
