Publishing

Actually putting your web site somewhere so that others (or the world) can see it is called "publishing". If you are not working live on the server, you will need to publish your web for others to see it. Prior to publishing, use the Web Page Checklist to check your page content.

To publish to a web site, make sure that you know where your site will be located. The first time you publish to a new site is the most confusing, so feel free to call for help. The next time you publish your web, you just need to select "Publish" fill in your E-mail username and password, and violá, your changes are on the web.

You publish to the server by simply publishing to the URL for your web site. However, because of a minor problem with FrontPage, publishing is smoother if you have already opened your site on the web in FrontPage. See the Web Folders page for those instructions. 

To publish:

• Open your web
• Select File==>Publish Web...

Write the full URL of your site, excluding filenames, in the "location" box as shown below.  If you wish, you can go to your site with your browser, then copy [ctrl-c] the URL from the address bar and paste [ctrl-v] it into the "location" box .

Click the "publish" button and FrontPage will send your files to the server after you fill in your username and password.
