Default Creating a web site


At the incredible risk of showing my amazing ignorance, I will take the
chance. I just converted from Pub 2003 to FP2003 for web-design. When
creating a web site in Pub, I was basically working within one file and could
add multiple sheets as I went along, all of which inevitably were part of the
one file. In FP, each page seems to be independent of the others and are not
in one file? I can't seem to find an option to copy a current page so that I
won't have to redesign another....things such as that. Also when I tired to
publish, I have had no luck - I get a 404 error. And there were about a
gazillion files that attempted to publish. Do I have to be pick each and
every file and page that I want to publish or am I missing something - am I
supposed to have save the web site as one file somehow? Now when I open the
index.htm file, I have to individually open each subsequent page in
FP.....I'll bet I am making NOOOOO sense at all here.... I have a lot of the
nuts and bolts down on FP, but somehow I missed the very very basic task of
setting up and savint the "web site" itself....

Is your web site contained within it's own folder??
If so, does the folder have a blue globe on it??
If not open FrontPage, click File > open site and browse to the folder.
Right click on it and select Convert to web.
Then open the web, open index html click Tools > Recalculate hyperlinks.

As for the files! Yes, in a FrontPage web, each page and or image is a separate file.

thank you - I will try that. I feel that starting out in Publisher warped my
mind! I need to find myself a good book...

Default Re: Creating a web site

something else....theoretically, if I open all of the files that make my site
'Preview" correctly, then can I select Publish to the Web and everything
related to my site will publish together as a whole? I think that when I
tried to publish last night I got EVERYTHING on my computer! That is a small
exaggeration, but I know the site doesn't have that many files in it. I
don't think that I have my files in a folder. But even if I did, when I open
the site, should it not post at that point.....gosh I am so confused - I
know, tell me to buy the book!

Default Re: Creating a web site

do let me see if I have this straight....all of my files need to go together
in one folder and when I publish, my index page needs to reside on the server
outside the public_htm folder and everything else needs to go inside that
folder?

No.

Everything in your web needs to be *inside* the public_html folder.
On a server public_html does the same job as the folder that contains your web on your local
machine.
In other words it is the *root* of your web.

When a user clicks a link to www.yourwebsite.com they are actually clicking a link to
www.yourwebsite.com/public_html which opens the default page which is index.html
( the folder public_html is invisible to a browser )

When using FrontPage you *must* first create a new empty web, and then do all of your work inside
the web folder you have created.

When you publish, you are publishing the contents or your local web folder to the folder named
public_html on the server.

The folder itself does not get published. Only the items it contains.

I did start out on a fresh site but I din't create a folder at the time. Is
it too late to do that? Can I create the folder and move all of the files
into the folder?

Did you create a web and give it a name??
When you open your web to work on it, exactly what folder are you opening??

When working on a page in your web, what path do you see in the title bar at the very top of your
monitor??

Default Re: Creating a web site

ya know - I claim to be fairly intelligent but I feel like I am in a fog with
this thing. I have been opening Frontpage and clicking on the last file on
which I worked and for the life of me at the moment I can't remember what it
is or how I saved it. I do know though that I have to open each subsequent
page one at a time to have them all displayed on my desktop. They don't open
as a whole web site. I just don't think that is right.....
