Publish iWeb to Dropbox

Apple is ending MobileMe, so users will have to find an alternative. I found that you can publish a iWeb webpage to your Dropbox (folder), and have it's own URL. It won't be searchable by Google, though.

Go to your iWeb project, select Publish to: Local Folder, and select your Dropbox folder (or any folder inside it) for Folder Location. After Dropbox is done syncing, go to the Dropbox website and get the sharable link of a file named index.html. You can shorten the link if you want to.

Dropbox opens the file(which is the webpage) instead of downloading the file.

[crarko adds: I'm sure this will be one of many ways to handle the eventual demise of MobileMe's web hosting service. It would sure be nice to find out more about how iCloud is going to handle this, if at all.]
