I do not use iWeb but usually there are two places where your website exists, online on the hard drive of your web host (which is the version anyone can access via the web), and often a duplicate on your own computer. When you update or change any web pages on your home computer you can then upload that on to your host provider via any number of software utilizing File Transfer Protocol (ftp). Anyone can access your host provider from any computer as long as they know the access address and password. So now-a-days you can update your website from any of your computers, your iPad, or your smart phone. For example, if you were visiting my house, or at a net-cafe on the road, you could easily update your website, as long as you had the password necessary to access your host provider.

Hope this was clear and helpful.

You can also download copies of your various web pages via FTP from your web host to your laptop or another computer. That is what I do when I want to assure that I have the most current ones from which to make changes.

They then will typically open in a web browser such as Safari; however, to make changes, which I still do by hand, I open them in Tex-Edit Plus, my favorite text editor, to show the html code.

On my computer(s) the pages reside in a Web Site folder. Usually I change the titles from, say, index.html to index2-21-11.html, to keep a record of their order. Before I upload one, I remove the date since that would break the links and thereby confuse my web host server.

Although I do not use iWeb, or even RapidWeaver yet, I assume that you could open it and then open the pages from within it -- as I do with a text editor.

My cohort on Cloud 9 is in charge of the educational computers at Canadian Academy.  All Macs.  So we set up an iChat link (on both the desktop and the laptop) and transferred both the web sites and the iWeb program from the desktop to the laptop.  We needed to insert both packages into the library of the laptop.  Not particularly difficult if you have an expert on iChat.  He was able to see my screen, that helped.
The iWeb program itself was large, larger than any memory stick I had save the new iron key.  The iWeb on the desktop was the newer one on the laptop.  Iron key encrypts all the data so it took about 2 hours to load iWeb onto the iron key.  3 minutes to download onto the laptop.
I had just bought a new iWeb template for the new Bliss site and this template was transferred to the laptop with the program.
All this moving of the iron key from computer to computer allowed me to practice my password.  Got it down.  However, on my first attempt I could not decipher my pathetic penmanship and had to go into the vault on line to retrieve the password...
Interesting evening.  Off to Seattle later today...
