URL longer than it needs to be.

Question

I've created a web site, www.shadyhollowstingrays.com.  The name of the site in iWeb is Shady Hollow Stingrays.  For some reason iWeb has created a folder at the root of my site called shady_hollow_stingrays so now every URL is longer than it needs to be. 
The main page is:  http://www.shadyhollowstingrays.com/Shady_Hollow_Stingrays/Welcome.html
Have I misconfigured something?

There is no strange reason for it and it never occured to me that the length of an URL shouldn't exceed a certain length.
Here you'll find lots of longer than need to be URLs.

I find it very convenient to have Sites (folders/directories). It allows me to organize my pages based on topic/subject. I've been doing this for the past 16 years.
The only problem is that iWeb creates an index.html file outside the folder with the Sitename. It will overwrite a custom index.html file if you have one. But that can be dealt with with some logical thinking.
Anyway, it's the way iWeb works :

To avoid the Sitename in the URL is easy. Read this blogpost and follow the links :

And if you use MMe :
