12. Publishing Your Web Site

Before you can put your site online, you will need to have a server that will "host" your web site.

Tip: Make a subweb
If you have an existing web site but don't want to replace it with your new web, you can make a subweb! For example, if your domain is www.yourcompany.com, but you are just testing your new web and don't want to overwrite anything on your existing domain, you can simply create a new folder - for example, www.yourcompany.com/mytestweb. Then publish your web to this location. No one else will know that it's there, but you can go to it online to view it and test it out.

1. Open your web. Go to File > Publish Web. A dialog box will pop up. Type or browse to the location you want to publish your web. Click OK.
2. You may publish to a URL (http://...) or browse to a location on your computer. For example, if you wish to have a local copy of your web on your computer, you may publish your live web to a location on your hard drive.
   
   
3. If this is the first time you are publishing a web to this location, FrontPage will ask if it may create the files needed for a web. Click OK.
   
4. FrontPage will list the files in your web that it will publish.
   
5. You may click the "Options..." button if you are publishing to an existing web. You may also click the "Show" button to view the file structure of the publish location.
   1. Options:
      Choose if you want to publish only the pages that have changed, or if you want to overwrite all pages.
   2. Show:
      Click "Hide" to minimize the publish location file information.
6. Click "Publish" to publish your web. Then wait and watch while FrontPage publishes your web! A dialog box will come up to allow you to view your new web in a browser or to view your publish log file.
