Right, having two .Mac accounts the best thing is having two users accounts. So you did a great job on that! (To make a new user account on your computer go to System Preferences, Accounts, Click on the lock to unlock and be able to make changes, hit the “+” symbol over the lock and that’s it)

Now the only way to move iWeb pages from one user account to another is to move the Domain.sites2 file where iWeb stores its files. To find that file go to

Macintosh HD/Users/Your username/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2

If you can’t find it here search for it with spotlight. Note that the extension .sites (iWeb 1.0) or .sites2 (iWeb 2.0) may be hidden, also search for Domain only. To see if a Domain file is iWeb ’06 or iWeb ’08 select the file press Command(Apple)+i under "Name & Extension" you will find that it is .sites or .sites2.

Once you found it duplicate it (select it and press Command(Apple)+d). They are now completely independent from each other. So when you make a change to one site it will be saved only to that Domain file and not to the other.

Now take the copy of the Domain file and transfer it from one user account to the other.

To transfer your domain.sites2 file from one user account to the other you can put it on a USB-Stick, External Harddrive, on a CD/DVD or whatever. Not a great idea if you have a large Domain.sites2 is to send it by e-mail.

To get the site showing up in iWeb just open the Domain.sites file by double clicking on it and your sites and pages will show up on the left side in the iWeb page browser. Note that the location, where you put the file, doesn’t matter.

As you already created your and your son’s website they are both in both the Domain files. What you then have to do, once you have it on both user accounts, is to delete your website in your son’s account and your son’s site in your account. The rest will be preserved.

NOTE 1: Note that you have to change permissions of the Domain file to be able to edit, save changes and publish a website from another user account and from another computer as well.

Select Domain file press Command(Apple)+i under Ownership & Permissions go to =>Details =>Others and select Read & Write

You have to do that in the original user account and computer in which the Domain file was created.

If you don’t change permissions you will find an error while publishing and saving.

Remember to always have a Backup of both Domain files. It's REALLY important.
