Publishing to the web
Publishing to the web involves uploading your site to your web host provider,
turning your site into a live website, viewable by the whole world! You can
specify that all web page are published or, if updating your site, only pages
changed since the last "publish."
Before publishing to the web, it is worth checking for potential problems by
running the Site Checker (Tools>Site Manager>Site Checker...).
Remember that you can publish to disk folder at any time,
which lets you test your website offline (and locally) before
publishing to web. See online Help for more details.
To publish your site to the web:
1. Choose Site Properties... from the File menu and double-check
export settings, particularly those on the Graphics tab.
2. Click the Publish site button on the Standard toolbar (or choose
Publish Site from the File menu and select Publish to Web... from
the submenu).
If this is your first time publishing to the web, you'll see a Publish to Web
dialog without any account information present (you'll see your local site ready
to upload). You'll need to set up at least one account before you can proceed.
1. Click the Accounts... button to display the Upload to Server dialog.
2. Click Add...
3. In the Account Details dialog, enter:
• The Account name. This can be any name of your choice. You'll
use it to identify this account in WebPlus (in case you have more
than one).
