Publishing in iweb
Tried to publish, asks me then to sign in to mobile me, I click on sign in, then it takes me to system preferences. How do I sign in there?

You can't and you don't because MobileMe is dead.
You have to look beyond the visible.
Select your Sitename and change the publish settings.
How do you find out what your publish settings are?
You need to sign up for a hosting account...

... and get the publishing settings from this account. See this page for more info about publishing your site...
Thanks Roddy. I am a me.com or icloud user (whatever you call it now), don't I have web hosting ability there?
MobileMe closed down on the 30th June and iCloud doesn't do website hosting.
Your webhoster will tell you.
Depending on the version of iWeb you are using you have a couple of publishing options:
iWeb '09 (3.0.4) you can publish to an FTP Server or a local folder.
( With the built in FTP in iWeb you will end up with an address like "www.YourDomain.com/sitename/Home.html )
iWeb '08 you can publish your website to a local folder
I have been using IX Webhosting for several years with little to no problems "usually the problem was something I did" and they have been quick to solve any issue I have come across. The have plans that start at $3.95 a mo (USD) and their customer service is top notch.

Thanks for your help. I guess I just need to buy the service which is a bummer as I don't need it, just thought it would be a nice way to communicate en masse. Back to the drawing board. I think iweb needs to be updated, as so much of it refers to mobileme.
