IWeb Will not replace old website! Please help!

Question

I'm trying to replace an old website that was designed with Frontpage, with a new one designed with IWeb09. Every time I try to publish the new site, it publishes it to a subfolder. I read a few of the discussions, downloaded cyberduck, and deleted the old website files, but now I just get a blank page.
Please help! Any ideas?

Well, yes, iWeb will publish to a sub folder called your Site folder, which will have the same name as you named your site within iWeb - this is what it is supposed to do and always will.
What you need to do is use Cyberduck and connect with your server and delete what was there previously and then, when you upload your new iWeb site, just upload the contents of your Site folder rather than the whole folder itself and then your url will be http://www.domain.com/pagename.
Just be aware that if you are using any RSS feeds, uploading your site in this way will make them inactive.
The other way to do it is to upload your whole site folder to your server's public_html file or wherever you have to upload to and then you get your separate index.html file and place this outside your public_html folder pointing in. Your RSS feeds will then work, however, your url will then be http://www.domain.com/sitename/page name.
The choice is yours.
