Redundant HTML addresses using iWeb 09

[docdlp]

I just recently moved my personal website from MobileMe to MacHighway and I'm having a problem with redundant address for separate pages on my site. I used iWeb '09 (v.3.0.4) to create and upload the site via FTP. My domain name is being repeated in the address, making it unwieldy to direct people to specific subpages on my site.

Perhaps an example will help clarify my problem:

My domain name is donlaplant.com and one of the pages on my site is about my work as a playwright. If I go to my home page and follow the link to my playwriting page, the address that pops up in my browser window is: <http://donlaplant.com/DonLaPlant.com/Playwriting.html>. I'd like to be able to tell people to visit donlaplant.com/playwriting, but when I try to navigate directly to that address I get this:

"Not Found

The requested URL /playwriting was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

I've tried leaving the "site name" box empty in the "Site Publishing Settings" page of iWeb, but it automatically re-enters itself when I save the settings. Any advice on how I can get the repetition of my site name out of the address so I can send people directly to the appropriate page?

I found an answer to my own question. In case anyone else is having this problem, here's what I did to fix it:

1. I found this online tutorial discussing how to avoid the long URLs in iWeb.

2. On the "Site Publishing Settings" screen of iWeb, I published my site to a local folder (rather than an FTP Server or the now defunct MobileMe).

3. I downloaded a free copy of Cyberduck from CNET:

4. Then I followed the instructions in the MacHighway tutorial about uploading a site using Cyberduck.

I followed the instructions and solved my problem. (Hurray for me.)

Donald [docdlp], I'm glad you managed to solve your own website problems.

I fought I would offer you a suggestion.

While having a look at your website I notice you're running a blog at WordPress.com and just wanted to let you know it would be pretty easy to move that blog/website to MacHighway. With a small bit of redesign you could merge your iWeb website into WordPress.
