Question

iweb problems now mobileme no longer exists?

Hi, I recently downloaded Mountain Lion and have icloud as I understood this would allow me to use iweb and publish my site via icloud. I have since learnt that you can no longer do this.

I'm not very technical but just wondered if someone can help. Can I use iweb sites that I created when mobile me was around and publish them or do I need to create new ones? Also do I have to publish using an outside host if so who should I use & do I have to pay? If I do need to do this then can you point me in the right direction on how to do this please and thanks.

iMac (24-inch Early 2009), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Hi julievangelly –

The short answer is yes you can still use iWeb to design and publish websites, including ones you may already have produced.

Instead of publishing directly to MobileMe which doesn't exist now, you'll just need to enter your own web host's details, here's how:

Apologies, I've forgotten how to embed a link neatly without entering the whole thing.

HI,

thanks for your help, I have used this site to get an address but when I try uploading it says I have the wrong password, I contacted the site and they said the following -

Hello,

iWeb's format of coding is not fully compatible with 000webhost. This means that you must remove the first line of code from each html file before uploading to the server.

I'm not sure what it means can anyone help and tell me what I'm doing wrong please. Have outlined where I'm up to below Thanks User uploaded file

Server address - www.freespiritfoto.comuv.com

username - a3876595

password - ********

Directory/Path - ?

Protocol - FTP
