So your iWeb is getting pretty packed with pages and multiple sites and maybe even your band asked you to create a website for them and you don’t want to combine it with all your personal webpage files in iWeb. How do you create a whole new iWeb file and jump back and forth between your sites. Well this video shows you all of that. You can have as many iWeb files as you’d like. iWeb has no file>open option so learning this trick will help you make multiple sites and be able to jump between them as you please.

Thanks for the tip. It surely makes a lot of difference, if you can control the sites this way. In addition, I also tend to have one folder per project with a folder containing the iWeb domain file and another containing the published contents. This way I have all assets next to each other when I need to change anything.

Is there any way I can separate websites I’ve already created with iWeb, or is this only for new websites?
Chris, just duplicate your current iWebsite, then open each one and delete the sites/pages you don’t need.
Thanks for this great support. Much appreciated.
Have now 2 websites running OK!!
Can you publish multiple sites to Mobile Me or do you have to host them on different servers, ala Go Daddy?
You did not mention that this does not work for publishing to MobileMe. I had approximately 20 sites all in one domain file and all published to MobileMe. I duplicated the file and renamed it. Then, I opened iWeb by clicking on that new file and deleted the other sites in it so that it would represent just the one site. When I published it to MobileMe, it took all my other sites off the internet. Did I do something wrong or does this multiple site technique not work with MobileMe?
This does work with MobileMe, you just have to understand how it works. MobileMe will have the most recent published iWeb as the main start page. So if you have two (or more) iWeb files, which ever you last published will be the one that it goes to when you go to web.me.com/username you can however still visit all the other sites by going directly to their respective site folders, for example web.me.com/username/sitename
Hope that helps.
I am sorry, but that does not make any sense to me. I don’t know if I did not communicate well what I was trying to get across. In your reply, you mentioned going to the other sites by going to their site folders, but I’m talking about the sites themselves being gone when someone types in the domain name that I have purchased from godaddy. All my sites were removed from the internet except for the one in the new domain folder. I don’t feel like I am explaining this well though.
