Publishing with Frontpage:
1. on your home PC open the web in frontpage
2. make sure that the main page of your website is named "index.html" NOT "index.htm" --> this is very important. the site will not be seen if this change is not made prior to publishing
3. go to File --> Publish Web -->
4. it will ask you where you want to publish to, enter: http://your_ip_address NOTE: if you do not have an ip address, you will need to wait for your domain to resolve to the server and use that instead of your ip address.
5. click the "publish" button
6. it will ask for a login --> enter the login for your control panel
7. it will ask for your password --> enter the password for your control panel
8. after entering the above information, click "ok" button (you will see files transferring)
9. your site is now published
10. view your site at your ip address: http://your_ip_address
NOTE: these instructions should lead you step-by-step through the Frontpage publishing process. please follow them exactly, especially #2, and you will should not have any trouble at all.
