Why recreate pages every time I publish?

I have three "sites" that I created in iWeb. Each of them has many subpages. I haven't made changes to site 1 and site 2 for many months; right now I am only making updates to site 3. But every time I go to publish, I have to wait for iWeb to publish every page for every site, even those pages in site 1 and site 2 that haven't changed. And then once the uploading starts, it takes FOREVER, like 10 to 30 minutes. If I then change a page, it doesn't recreate pages again and doesn't reupload pages, so the process just takes a minute. But then if I quit iWeb and start up again and make a change, the whole process starts over again.
Why is iWeb taking the time to update the sites that I haven't changed? There are no cross-links, so it's not like it needs to re-render the top of the pages where the links are located. I wish I could stop it from doing this as it would make publishing new pages MUCH MUCH faster.

Jeffrey,
Believe it or not, this is the normal behavior of iWeb. Since all of your 3 sites are saved into the same Domain file, then iWeb will go through the calculating "creating" pages process with the horizontal progress bar for all of your pages in each of your sites every time you publish. Thankfully, it will only upload the pages that have actually changed....otherwise the process would take even longer!
The only real solution to your problem is to separate out your first two sites (the ones that you don't update anymore) into a separate Domain file. It's not too hard to do, but you'll need to be deliberate about the steps and then be able to keep the Domain files organized. Mark Heaton (Apnewbie) has put together a nice page on doing this...

This is the only way to make your sites truly independent of one another in iWeb.

IWeb re-creates all of my pages EVERY TIME I publish a few, minor changes..

It all works properly after 1.1.1 but everytime I add a single page (even if I unflag the "include in menu" option) the site marker turns to red. Then, when I publish the changes, iWeb basically re-creates my whole site (taking more than one hour and a half!!!) but then, and here comes the laugh, it only publishes the actual changes (thus, takin no more than 5 minutes to upload them)!!!
So WHY does it attempt to re-create all of my site when it perfectly knows there are only a couple of things that will eventually get uploaded?!?
My site is structured in many different "sites" with various pages each: no matter what, when I add a page in one of the "sites" it starts to re-create all of them.
It's frustrating because it's (obviously) an intollerable waste of time (which doesn't occur when, for istance, I add a blog post or anything else not modifying the site structure).
****...

If I could, I'd send you a couple of screen-shots of
my tree structure just to give you an idea of my
situation... ^^
You are certainly most welcome to send any screenshots my way so that I can take a look. Just send them to: [email protected]. We can also do a chat sometime if I'm online. You can see my online status on my webpage: http://www.dirtdoog.com Just click and chat if I'm online.
The problem, however, is: usually, you may not
publish on a same .Mac account from different
computers/domain-files because any attempt to upload
would modify the homepage of the .Mac site.
This is not true. The default page or site that opens when you type in your short URL (http://web.mac.com/yourname) is currently governed by whatever page you have listed first in order in the Site Organizer in iWeb. You can publish from another Domain file and iWeb will just put the files in a folder right next to the site folder that is already there. Just make sure to name the sites uniquely...otherwise one will overwrite the other. In general when you publish multiple sites with multiple Domain files, the first published site is the default for your short URL. It's probably easier just to resort to the full URLs in any case...
http://web.mac.com/yourname/iWeb/SiteOne
http://web.mac.com/yourname/iWeb/SiteTwo, etc, etc.
Could I do that by keeping the homepage identical in
all of the domain files (actually, it could be my
DISCLAIMER PAGE) and then modifying the others
separately and linking them to each other as external
links?
This seems confusing to me. If you were to revamp your whole site and plan to separate it out into different Domains, I would suggest a separate Domain just for the homepage and disclaimers and what not...this would be like the very top level of your global site. And then you could have links to the various sections in this site and be able to make changes that wouldn't have to affect the other sites under it. But I think you have the general idea.
Before you go doing all of this, it would probably pay to have it well planned out on paper and also well organized on your Mac desktop. During the separating process, you'll need to make several copies of your current Domain file and keep them organized by uniquely name folders (since you cannot change the name of the Domain file). It's an involved process, but logically it makes sense.
As usual, if you find any of this information to be useful, could you do me a favor and provide me with feedback using the "solved" or "helpful" buttons in the title bar of my reply? Thanks.
Don't worry, if you run out of "helpful" and "solved" stars to give out, I'm still more than happy to help in any way that I can!

New Tabs appear as :Blank, why don't they open in my home page every time?

I have set my home page to the standard Google Ireland search page and this works fine. But when I open a new tab, it opens as a blank tab every time.
The TAB section under TOOLS does not allow me specify what I would like a new tab to open as....
It just opens a blank tab every time.

Adobe Muse keeps crashing every time I publish any website all of a sudden

Adobe Muse keeps crashing every time I publish any website all of a sudden. Not just for the website I was working on but now all my websites. It was working perfectly fine and when I hit publish it just crashes. I have multiple copies and different websites and they are all crashing when I try to publish. It seems like it is not an error for just the one website I was working on but the entire program is not functioning correctly. Here's a screen shot of the error.

Mac or Windows? What's the error that appears? If it's an Apple Crash Report, please copy/paste the first few pages of it here.
I strongly recommend against it (for multiple reasons below) but if you uninstall Muse, then go to the Creative Cloud Desktop App, and choose "Previous Version" in the Find New Apps section there will be a dropdown arrow next to the Install button. That dropdown will list all versions of Muse.
If you've saved over top your existing file using the current version, reverting Muse won't work, since older versions cannot open files saved from newer versions. If you've don't significant work in the current version, that will be lost because you'll have to go back to the file as last saved using the prior version of Muse. Finally, there's a significant probability that error/crash is related to content in the file, network configuration, or other outside forces and if that's the case reverting won't avoid the error/crash.
If you share more info about what error you're encountering, I expect we can determine a workaround/solution.

Every Time I Publish to a Folder iWeb Saves EVERYTHING Again...

Every time I publish my website to a folder to preview it, it seems to create a new subfolder with all the same files instead of just saving over the original. Is there a way to stop that? If not, can I delete the older folder and files, though I do notice that some of those files in the older folders, like the index files get updated with each save, though they appear to be duplicates as well. Please advise. Thanks!

It's my experience that iWeb versions before '08 were a hit or miss proposition as to saving over the previous work on my hard disk. Often, I would wind up with multiple versions in the original save folder. I deleted them, after worrying a bit I had the correct ones. This worked, but was annoying.
With iWeb '08, I am asked if I want to replace the previous version before saving to a folder. So far, I have not had multiple complications. My recommendation is to upgrade to the '08 version. Of course, if you've done that and are having this problem, I have wasted your time, for which I'm sorry.
Good luck - Fabe

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
