Publishing a Web Page to the Internet

After you have created your web page, it is time to publish it to the Internet. This stage will guide you through the process.

What is the "WebPage Files" Window?

This window displays all the links and images used in your web page.

Selecting a Publishing Location.

Use the "Publishing Location" drop down list to select the server to which you wish to publish your web page. If your server does not appear in this list, you will have to define your own. (See Below)

Publishing Your Web Page.

Once you have selected a Publishing Location (see Selecting a Publishing Location above), you have to select the directory to which your files will be uploaded (published). Usually this is the "public_html" or "www" directory. If you are unsure of the directory to upload to, you may need to contact your ISP. See the Beginners Guide to Publishing for more details.

Adding a Publishing Location.

If you have not already defined a Publishing Location, you will need to do so now. If you are new to the Internet, and haven't set up a Publishing Location before, you are advised to read the Beginners Guide to Publishing. This document takes about 10 minutes to read and explains all the background material you need to set up a Publishing Location, in a clear and simple manner.

To add a Publishing Location:

  1. Click the "New/Edit Location" button at the top left of the "Your Publish Location" window.

  2. In the "Internet Servers" window, click "Add".

  3. Follow the instructions in the wizard.

Remember, if you need any advice on how to setup a Publishing Location, read the instructions on adding an ISP.

Congratulations!

You have now created and published your web page to the Internet! You might want to try using "Editor Mode" for the creation of your next web page as it supports advanced features not available in Express Mode.
