Steve Jobs has confirmed that iWeb will be discontinued as part of the iCloud release... http://www.macrumors.com/2011/06/12/ste ... ransition/

Shame but what other alternatives are there?

I've started using Flux and it's pretty good. Nothing I've found has the simplicity of iWeb (though that's never been a major feature for me) though.

Unlikely if you don't remember. They brought out a new version just before Christmas I think. The upgrade fee is relatively reasonable though. Plus they've had it in various bundles recently too, so you may have a V5 licence in there if you're lucky. Jon

I originally bought it as part of a big bundle. I have kept the license details so can upgrade if necessary. My license is for 4.4.2 but can wait till it comes in another bundle if necessary.

Unless I have the wrong end of the stick here (entirely possible) iWeb won't magically stop working on everyone's Mac just because it's discontinued - it's just the one-click 'publish my site' option that won't work anymore on account of iDisk disappearing; you should still be able to publish an iWeb site to a folder, or another hosting service, no?

Yes, you can. However, you won't get any of the MobileMe stuff - galleries, blogs, comments etc., unless Apple release code for use on other servers, which I guess is highly unlikely. I think it's well worth investigating alternatives depending on your needs - Wordpress, Joomla, Freeway, RapidWeaver, etc.. You have a year.

You could still use iWeb, it will still work.

What you won’t get is all the MobileMe server site stuff like blog feedback, forms, etc..
