Additional Editing Info
First it is important to note that when
working with Microsoftฎ FrontPageฎ you
are typically working with "TWO" copies of your web site. The
first copy you have created on your own computer with
FrontPage and saved to your hard drive. We'll call this your
LOCAL WEB. You can access your LOCAL WEB with the
Microsoft FrontPage Explorer. You do not need to be connected
to the Internet to open your local web and work with it.
The second copy resides on your web
server hosting account. We'll call this your INTERNET WEB
SITE. Once your have created a web site (LOCAL WEB)
on your machine, it is ready to publish to the Internet.
Using the FILE -> PUBLISH WEB option in the Microsoft
FrontPage Explorer, you send a copy of your web site up to
your web hosting account where it is now visible on the
Internet.
When you make changes or additions to
your LOCAL WEB, you can publish your updated web site to your
INTERNET WEB SITE, thus keeping both copies of your web
site in sync.
Sometimes it is convenient to make
changes in 'real-time', directly on your live INTERNET WEB
SITE on your web hosting account. To do this, you can
open your INTERNET WEB SITE in the same manner that you open
your LOCAL WEB. |
