how do I share photos on the web with iPhoto / iCloud? I have a new Mac (Mountain Lion) with iPhoto '11.

I want to share photos on the web.  In the past, I would launch iWeb and build a little photo album web page.  My understanding was that if I subscribed to .Mac/MobileMe I could share my iWeb page that way, but instead I always FTPed my web page to my own web site.

On my new Mac, I see that iWeb no longer exists.  In iPhoto I discovered there's something called "photo streams".  I signed into "iCloud", I dragged some photos to my "photo stream", and it appears the photos are now online (unless I'm not understanding something).

I signed into www.icloud.com, but I don't see any photos there.

QUESTION: What am I missing, or, What is the "correct" way to share photos on the web with iPhoto '11?
iCloud is not a replacement for MobileMe--those great-looking photo albums are a thing of the past.

Photostream shares photos between Macs, iPads and iPhones, automatically and pretty instantaneously — unless of course you turn it off -- in a separate album from the device's camera roll. 

Apple no longer provides a way to share photos on the web. Mores the pity. 

Edit: iOS 6 offers Shared Photo Streams on iCloud.com. 


  Shared Photo Streams allow you to post and share photos to a Photo
  Stream album hosted by iCloud. The photos stored there don't count
  against your iCloud storage allotment, and will work over Wi-Fi and
  cellular data. You're able to share photos with fellow iOS users as
  well as by creating an iCloud.com Shared Photo Stream album for
  non-iOS users.
