Here are some tips for using FrontPage98
to create a web site and publish it to your server.
We assume that you have installed FrontPage98 on your system
and that you have requested that we install FrontPage extensions
on your server.
We also assume that you have been connected to the
Internet. (If you are using a modem, you have to dial
your Internet provider and get connected first.)
Let's say you have signed up a sub-domain on our server. From the
welcome message we sent to you, you have got the following information:
Your login ID: john
Your password: john123
Your domain name: www.yourdomain.com
Name of the server that hosts your account:
www.yourdomain.com
(Please note: if you are using a new domain name, you have to wait
until InterNIC finishes its registration process and makes your
new domain available.)
