I just checked our website (randomly) and noticed that a google map that we had put up is no longer working. We've used iWeb '08 to create and publish our website. It appears that the google maps widget no longer works. Is this a common thing? Is this a new direction that Apple is going? Has anybody else had this problem? If so, how did they fix it? Help please.
iWeb '08, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
Get the code from Google and paste it into an HTML Snippet...

Yes, of course it is a common thing and yes of course others have had this problem and you would have found this out if you had done a search of the forum before posting.
Your problem is far from unique and is due to the MobileMe closure at the end of June this year. Some elements of the Google map widget were stored on the MobileMe servers which is why it no longer works.
There is a very simple fix and all you need to do is go to Google maps and set up the map that you want and then copy and paste the code from that into an ordinary html snippet in iWeb and click Apply in the normal way and you will have your map back.
do google maps still work in iweb 08?
