Publish iweb from another computer what am I doing wrong?

Question

I am really struggling here, can someone please explain my problem to me....
I have two mac laptops with iweb. I asked about publishing my backed up blog on the 2nd mac in case number 1 mac crashes. here was my question...
how does the new computer know where to publish your site to... is the address in the backup file from the primary computer? if not how do you tell iweb on the second computer where to publish the primary computers site. Bobbie j.
I followed these instructions from helpers here
Copy the Domain file to another computer, but not to the default location, and then double-click the Domain file.
ok I did that but it wants to publish to the number 2 macs iweb address since i'm on that computer so then i was told the following
It doesn't know where to publish your site, which is why you need to be logged into your Mobile Me account before publishing. All you do is log in and publish and all sites are published to iDisk.
so I logged into my m. me account and then double clicked on the backup file in finder (flash usb memory backup) and iweb opens with the correct backed up site but it published it to the number 2 computers default iweb site (overwriting its own site with number 1 comp. site) even tho I had logged in to number one comp. iweb account. it was even open as a page under iweb page. help.
I get how to move my backup web file to a secondary computer but still can't get it to publish to number ones site. what am i missing please, it can't be this hard.

Firstly, iWeb is the tool that you use to create your web site or blog in your case. iWeb does not have any accounts. It is MobileMe that has the accounts and you log into your MMe account and then click publish within iWeb and your site is published through MMe to your iDisk - this is your host. If you publish to MMe, then all your sites and blog are published to your iDisk.
How many blogs do you want 1 or 2?
How many mobile me account do you have 1 or 2?
If you want two separate blogs on two computers, then to be able to publish separately you would need to change the names within iWeb at the top on the left hand side and then publish blog 1 and blog 2 separately. All MMe hosted sites will have the url web.me.com/username/sitename, so either site1 or site2.
I thought your question was asking how you can update your blog using two computers? If you want the same blog then you can just update from either and then publish. If you want different blog names, then call them blog 1 and 2 and publish.
Perhaps the easiest way to do this would be to have 2 totally separate MobileMe accounts, 1 for each computer, so that you can log into each MMe account on each computer and keep your blog totally separate - in this case with two MMe accounts you would publish to two iDisks, so you have blog 1 on computer 1 and blog 2 on computer 2, each with their own MMe account.
