it rewights all of your pages to what every folder you point it to.
But if it re-writes all my pages to the Folder, then I have to completely remove the original site from my domain and then completely upload the corrected site. I am looking for a way to SELECT just the changed pages from the folder, and whatever other files which got changed, and only those page files and other necessary files.
All answers so far would make me remove the original site (all of it) and upload the corrected site (all of it).

Hello!
It's hard to give specifics because I don't know how your website is structured. I will just make up a site, which you can apply to your own. iWeb uses the same naming system and folder structure for every site, so you shoul dbe abe to follow.
Ok, so I have created a website in iWeb that I called mysite (to set a name in iWeb, you double-click the red globe icon at the top of the pages list to the left).
In mysite I have added the folloding pages:
- welcome (the welcome page -- first one the user will see)
- page1
- page2
- page3
When the site is published to a folder, inside that folder will be 2 items:
- index.html (the welcome page)
- a folder called mysite (if you called your site something different, that will be the name of the folder).
Inside the folder mysite will be the following files:
- index.html (a 2nd copy of the welcome page)
- welcome.html (that's right, a 3RD COPY of the welcome page. friggin stupid, I know!)
- page1.html (the page you called page1 in iWeb)
- page2.html (the page you called page2 in iWeb)
- page3.html (the page you called page3 in iWeb)
There will also be folders that have the same name as the .html files, but with "_files" at the end. In there are all the images you have used in each page.
You may also see a "slideshow_assets" folder, which contains all the javascript and buttons required for the slideshow (if you used a slideshow). It DOES NOT, however, include the photos used in the slideshow.
so, now that has been established...
Upload the .html file that corresponds to the page, as well as the .js file that appears inside the "_files" folder.
For example, in the "mysite" project, let's say "page2" was the page I changed a caption. You would want to upload the following from the "mysite" folder:
- page2.html
And this file from the "page2_files" folder (if it exists):
- page2.js (if it isn't in there, dont worry about it).
Upload ALL files that end in ".html". Dont' forget the first index.html file that appears outside the main folder.
Also upload the new folder that appears in the website folder. For example, if you added a page called "page4", then there should be a new folder called "page4_files".
iWeb may have added files to the folder called "images", so you may want to upload that too, to be safe.
Should only need to upload the ".html" file and the "_files" folder of that page.
For exxample, if I changed "page2" in the "mysite" exmaple, you would upload page2.html and the page2_files folder.
NOTE: If you change the home page (called "welcome" in my example), you will also have to make sure you upload both index.html files whenever you change anything that appears on it.
ALSO NOTE: When you upload the changed files to your ISP server, make sure you place them in the same folder as it appears on your hard disk. For example, if you are uploading a file that appears in the "page1_files" folder on your hard disk, make sure you are uploading it to the "page1_files" folder on the server.

That was exactly what I needed to know. Thank you so much for the complete answer. I may even use it in our MUG newsmaggazine, Mouse Droppings. It is so fitting that The Cheese solved a problem for Mouse Droppings.
Thanks to the cheese, and I will throw another shrimp on the barbie for you.
