There are 3 ways to accomplish this task
1. Your web host's server has a control panel where your pages can be loaded
2. Kompozer, the web writer program, has a publish option > click File > publish
3. Filezilla is a free download that installs red icon on desktop
I prefer Filezilla because it is simple. Once you log in, Filezilla can stay open on the desktop. Simply drag and drop pages & images into your website using steps shown below.
18.
Actual website files are on right side
Filezilla log-in requires specific website information available from your web hosting service
Your web hosting service will help you with the information
Here the host name is: yourwebsite.com [without http://]
Your user name will be assigned by the web hosting service
Your password is established on the web hosting control panel
Your hosting service will guide you through the steps, and they understand novices
Notice Filezilla is divided into the right side and left side. The left side shows the drives and files on your computer. The right side shows the actual folders on your website.
19.
Webpages and images are loaded into different folders, simply drag the file with your mouse and drop into correct folder
Your index page is loaded into folder titled: yourwebsite.com
All other pages that you make in Kompozer will load into same folder.
Your images (photos) are loaded into folder titled: images
Steps 25-35 cover images in detail
20.
Use mouse to drag and drop into Filezilla
21.
It's that easy <> and now your homepage and other pages are loaded onto the host server
Your web site is officially on the internet !!!
