Blithering Novice requests some help

[jjrakman]

I'm totally new to all of this sort of thing so I hope you can be patient with me.

I'm looking for some real detailed and simplified instructions in a "Dummie" sort of language, that will tell me how to take what I've built in Microsoft Front Page and put it on my webspace.

Today I received my Account activation e-mail and I went to the link via my IP. I looked at the control panel and it's abit overwhelming, I don't know where to start.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance to any help anyone can give.

look in the Front Page docs/help pages


it should tell you how to "publich to the web"


I think there is a wizard that will ask you a few questions, and then it will upload it all for you

Do you have a link for that? I can't seem to find it.

Normally there is a menu option in the program titled "Help" or something similar. Try having a look through your menus for one. Id tell you exactly where it is but Im a hardcoder. Jaguar has a little online manual here but it only covers FTP. If you dont mind getting your toes a little wet you might try giving FTP a go. Its pretty easy... essentially clicking and dragging files/folders where you want them.

sorry I have not used Frontpage in year so I dont know any good web site, nor do i know much about the current version of frontpage
my office XP package came with frontpage but I never installed it...

The option 'publish web' is in the 'file' menu.

It will ask you to specify the location. ftp://<your IP>/public_html will work fine, as long as you don't have a firewall blocking active ftp.

Alternatively you can install the MS Frontpage extensions through the Control Panel (or maybe they are installed if you ordered your account that way) and transfer through http://... . If you intend to work ONLY with Frontpage this may be worth looking into. Frontpages' help info should be able to explain.
