IWeb keeps quitting on me!

Question

I've been using iWeb 08 almost everyday since it came out last year. I have 8 websites, and two hostings. My mac wokrs just fine, the internet too, up until I recently did my software update for mobileme. I was remaking the websites with all sorts of fun texture fills and so on, and publishing time came.
Instead of it going through, it quit after the publishing in the background message, it's been doing the same very same exact thing repeatedly for two days.
I've sent each 'report to apple' but know I won't get a reply.
I made sure I'm logged it, it has the new graphics and the green light at the bottom, the new mobileme text next to publish to my personal domain.
Everything on the surface looks great. I've tried quitting all applications (something I never needed to do before) I have no open internet windows, I've tried everything, but it just quits. I've been editing films for weeks and wanted to add them, rather frustrated at the moment as I can't do a thing.
Has anyone oa solution to publishing my website. It worked like a dream with .mac and now it won't work at all. I live in Thailand, not that it should make a difference.
Thanks, if you take the time to read this!

Answer 1

First of all, thank you for replying to me, now I know I'm not the only iWeb user having problems right now, I'm sorry to hear about your problems too.
I have to remind myself all the time that iWeb wasn't launched as a publishing tool for commercial websites.
However, I'm sure lots of creative non-web-specialists must have wanted to present their work on the net, up-grade from myspace, without necessarily wanting studying webdesign or pay for a professionally made site. That was us.
At its launch, iWeb promoted a range of family blog-photo-videosharing website templates, and threw in a few semi-professional looking photography templates, perhaps appealing to someone with more photographic enthusiasm than skill and patience with CSS and webdesign.
So there was the temptation for all sorts of people like artists, designers musicians in addition to "Matt's Photograpy" etc to launch sites for their work, even though mac mainly focused its promotions on family events.
My issue with that was I felt that the iMac was usually in the hands of a photo/ graphic/film enthusiast, probably more often than the average skateboarding teenager - blogger. Not that there's anything wrong with skateboarding of course, but these kind of night-life and baby templates however useful to other people without a desire for a website necessarily, my heart sank as an artist when I saw the template range. A conscious decision must have been made in the apple headquarters to restrain the range for other web publishing technical reasons.
So, maybe you are like me, and set to work on tweaking.
It's easy and fun to take out elements from differnt templates and intermix the fills and textures, change the colours in photoshop, look around Flicker and so on for textures and you can use them everywhere in iWeb. It hs the potentioanl to be a lot more fun than it currently is. If it came with fill-library and buttons and bars and so on, but I'm sure many of us messed around and soon learned how to get them, save them and apply them in iWeb.
My major grumble is how iWeb doubles the initial file size but don't get me started on that!, even with web optimization off, and if you dare just add one of the wobbly graphic pen line frames the transparency issue can bump up that photo you dropped fron a web-saved jpeg to a png 17 times larger. When you back download your published files and so on, you can compare the sizes, it's an alarming pastime.
I was hoping mobileme would improve the loading of my sites, maybe the connection to iDisc takes longer to get in and process the code than the average server, so our .mac (now mobileme) sites appear as a blank while page sometimes averaging 15 seconds on an avearge broadband connection... when your mayspace, youtube, facebook etc is open in a few seconds. Our sites take so long to open that non-close family members complain and are tempted to click away to another sites.
So, that all relates back perfectly to the iWeb promotions and the family-type photo video sharing sent out after last year after the launch. It's perfect for that.
Until now!!!!!
I just spent three days re-doing one of the websites, but now it won't publish. I sit here and try again and again, it just quits again and again. I have never had this with iWeb ever. It never quit when I was working, it never quit when I was publishing. The only time in almost a year I had a few hours to wait a little was last New year when the servers were very busy. So, now mobileme is here, mypublishing is ---- imobile.
I always save in iWeb as I go along, it's an old habit I got into with iMove HD. iMovie saves for you as you go, a fantastic improvement.
Publishing with iWeb used to be the easiest part of the process, now, for me, it's only part that won't work.
I notice with mixed feelings of joy and despair that mobileme gave an extra 10 GB (which means I just got an extra 20 GB with my two hosting) ... sadly, nothing will publish anymore, so maybe I won't be able to use it after all
I'm hoping that if I keep on tying time and again to publish, watch the pages be made, get the publish in the background message, all day everyday, one day the problem will go away and just correct itself.
