Newbie Starting from Scratch! Need help!

Question

Hello!
We have been working toward activating for the public our iTunesU presence. The goal was to have the site public on the iTunes Store this week, which is the week of our inauguration of our new President of the university. So, the past months have found us designing graphics, generating content, and we are at long last ready to move this project to the public.
My background is in digital imaging, and I do have experience in site work and network administration, but I'm far from a web expert, so could use all the help and hand holding possible! One other concern is that I noted that it can take 2-4 weeks for activation of the public link on iTunes, which contradicts what I've been told in the past by Apple.. I just thought that once I clicked the public button that the site was live. Since our goal is to have this working this weekend for next week's events, I'm more then a little concerned. So, any advice on this would be welcome.
We aren't starting off with courses, but just a small set of content. 3-4 video interviews about Pop Art, an Audio Interview (Robert Moog), and a lesson on Jazz Drumming. We have artworks finished, and files ready to upload. So, trying to understand a simple, yet easy way to present the material.
That is where I'm not totally understanding the site hierarchy, and the best way to approach it conceptually. Lastly, is there anyone that I can call to talk through some of these issues?
We are excited to finally bring this project to fruition, and thanks for your help. Reading your posts and answers has been great!

I guess I want to delete it from the Network Choices.
That should work.
Or am i better off just Modifying it?
Those setting are easy to recreate, so deleting it doesn't cost you much effort.
the guy thought that my iMac might get confused as to which connection i want it to default to -- ie the hardwired ethernet cable or the wireless network
If you don't want to sure you're not going to use AirPort you can either turn it off or use a "location" that doesn't have an AirPort connection item.
i can set what priority the iMac will conduct its seacrh for internet -- and assuming the ethernet wire is functioning -- then it will default there and only attempt a wireless connection if the ethernet cable fails for some reason
I have Ethernet first and AirPort second. Since my last reboot 99.95% of the network traffic is using the Ethernet port.
otherwise - does it sound like based upon my flow chart that what i want to achieve is possible to you?
Yes. There might be some subtle considerations given that your two AirPort base stations are connected via Ethernet, although I'm sure there's more than one way to configure your equipment. There are people around with more experience with that sort of thing than I have who might be able to offer their advice.
