This tutorial tells how you can use Microsoft's Frontpage Express to put your web page on the Web. The process of moving a web page from your computer to a web server where everyone can see it is called uploading. Frontpage Express lets you save pages to the web by simply using the 'save as' feature under the 'file' menu.

First open up the Frontpage Express program, and from the 'file' menu, click on 'open'.

You will now be at the 'open file' window. Next, click on the 'browse' button.

After clicking 'browse', Windows users will see this screen. You can use this window to browse to the location of your web page file. After you find it, click on it, then clik 'open'.

Your web page will now be open in the Frontpage Express window. Now you are ready to put the page onto the Web. Before the next step, make sure that your computer is connected to the Internet.

To upload the web page, first click on 'file' then click 'save as'.

The 'Save as' window is a critical step. Where it says 'Page Title', you can type whatever you want, but the 'Page Location' section must be correct. If you have personal web space with Spydernet, you will fill out this line almost exactly as it appears above. The differences will be that you will replace the part that says 'username' with your Spydernet username (NOT your password).

You will also change the part that says 'example.htm' to the name of the particular file that you are uploading. One further tip on the filename: If the name of the file that you opened in the steps earlier is not the same name that you want it to have once you have uploaded it, you can change it here to whatever you want it to be (just remember that it must still end with .htm). In other words, in the above example, I opened a file named example.htm that I wanted to upload to my web site. In this 'Save as' window, I can change the name of it to something else just before I send it to my site. For instance, If I had typed the 'Page Location' line as http://www.spyderemail.com/~username/mypage.htm, then when the page is uploaded, the file will be called mypage.htm on my web site, but it will still be called example.htm on my personal computer.

Once you have this information properly filled out, click on the 'ok' button. You will know if the information that you entered is valid by what happens next. If you get an error, or you get something called 'Web Publishing Wizard', then you have not entered something correctly. Just hit cancel and try again. If the window you get looks like the following screen, then you entered everything ok.

The final window is pretty self explanitory. Just fill in the blanks with your Spydernet username and password. Click on the 'ok' button and give the page time to upload to the web server (it shouldn't take very long).
