Im selling my Mbp and getting the newest model but i need to know how do i transfer all my personal stuff including, iWeb site, apps and such? I won't have both Mbp's at once.
Also would it be good to restore everything with the SL dvd?
Thanks!

You can either use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your hard drive onto an external, or use the new computer's restore disks to restore from a Time Machine backup. Both methods should be equally painless.

What do you mean restore disks? I have a Time Machine back up so is Carbon Copy the same or does it actually copy everything like apps/setting?
Thanks i'm just confused and worried that after i sell mine and buy a new one that all my stuff will get lost kinda

Carbon Copy does a clone of the harddrive. Time machine copies individual files.

Either way, you will be fine.
