Publishing your FrontPage Web.
Using
FrontPage
FrontPage is a website building and management tool that helps to simplify
the creation,
uploading, and website management process.
In a nutshell, there are 2 major components in the
FrontPage program.
First is the FrontPage Explorer which is used to manage and upload your website.
Second is the FrontPage Editor which is used to edit your web pages.
You have the option of editing your copy of your website locally, then upload
the changed pages.
or you can connect to the copy you have on the server and edit the pages in
real-time right
on the server.
Editing in real-time can be a time saver when you
only have to make minor updates,
however, when making more than minor changes you should first edit your local
copy
then upload the changes.
The reason for this is so you will always have an updated copy that you can
depend on.
When you are ready to publish your site there are
three pieces of information that you will need
to have on hand to publish to your web space:
1. Your domain name.
2. Your account username.
3. Your account password.
Getting started with FrontPage 2000\2002 (working
real time on the web server.)
If you already
have a FrontPage Web created or your web site
you can skip this part to Step 3
Microsoft FrontPage calls all the
files and pages of your entire website put together
a "FrontPage Web," so when FrontPage refers to
the word WEB it is in reference to the folder with
all your files\pictures\etc for your entire web
site.
Steps to creating a new
FrontPage Web from scratch...
Step 1.
To create a FrontPage web from
scratch for the first time load Microsoft FrontPage
and click FILE, NEW, then PAGE OR WEB.
Step 2.
After you tell FrontPage that you
want to create a new Page or Web you will probably
want to start off with some sort of "WEB SITE TEMPLATE" click
on WEB SITE TEMPLATES... under the New Page or
Web menu bar. Another window will appear below
in which you can select exactly what type of template
you want to create. You can start with a blank
page or a more advanced web page template. Choose
what you would like and then specify where you
would like to store your files for you web site
to be located at, usually on your hard drive at c:\yourwebsitename edit
and create, then later to publish. In our next
section we will show you how to publish what you
create to our Promitech web servers.
Publishing your FrontPage Web.
Step 3.
When you have edited your pages
or web site to the way you would like it you can
then publish it to your live Promitech hosting
account. Click on FILE then PUBLISH WEB. (Make
sure you have already loaded your web into FrontPage.)
Step 4.
Then enter in your complete web
site address, http://www.yourwebsiteaddress.com.
Then click OK and you should be presented with
another box asking for your username and password.
Enter it and FrontPage will begin to publish your
web site.
