Question

NOW I AM REALLY ******.  The first time I made it funny for you to read about not even knowing what an FTP is let alone where to find one.  I  don't  know what the domain file is or how to evern begin the  begin to understand the foreign tongue telling me how to do a site from two computers.   After my fimger slipped and my post delleted I retyped it and then could not remember what operating system I am on so I went to my MAC information and deleted the post again.  I could not believe my eyes when  I did  not really believe for two days I am losing all apple space in the sky for the first time in over ten years.   I started on Ilife 04 so I need help you techno types.  I shoot pictures in RAW which means each page is well over 100MB and I need it easy and not gone tomorrow.  I am broke and on disabiility but will pay if must to get my photography webstie going.  I have a dear with Apple and for over two decades he has been an engineer yet I don't want to ask him until the chimes of death are going. PLease help me.  Love you MACS!!

First thing is to create smaller jpg versions of your RAW photos to be used in your website. If you use iPhoto to manage your pictures it will do that automatically. '
First, since you're running Lion you need to be aware of the following:
In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion  or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
That being said in you create a photo page in iWeb you can first assemble the photos you want on that page into an album in iPhoto.  Then select the album and use the Share ➙ iWeb ➙ Photos Page menu option.  That will give you a new photo page in your web site with the photos in the album.
Now, you should describe more clearly what you're trying to accomplish.  Do you have a doimain name?  Where are you hosting your website? If it's MobileMe then be warned that MMe will be discontinued on June 30, 2012, so you shoud start looking for a new hosting service between now and then.
