I bought a domain name from google, how do I use it with my MobileMe iWeb site?

I bought www.(mydomain).com and I want to have it set up so when you type it in, it directs you straight to my iWeb site, web.me.com/(mobilemename). How would I set that up?|||Here's the process in a nutshell:





1. You need to specify in iWeb your personal domain address. The second link below starts with specific instructions on how to do this.





2. Register your CNAME alias at Google. The second link explains how to do this w/GoDaddy, with any luck it might be similar at Google. The second link also says that when you're doing step 1 above, it will "provide you with instructions on how to register your CName Alias."





After that it takes 24-48 hours for the changes to take effect.





One thing I've heard it that you need to use all lower case when entering the web address in MobileMe because apparently the personal domain feature in MobileMe doesn't handle mixed case names well.





I hope that helps. Good luck.
