You have created the web pages. Now what? Where and how can you
publish your pages? If you have Comcast internet like us you can
publish it there. You can create up to 7 email sub-accounts with them
and each sub-account can create the web page and the space is 26MB. You
can put a lot of pages, but not many high quality images.
Activating
Comcast web page
First go to www.comcast.net,
login with your account, and go to My Account.
Enable personal web page by clicking the option on left side.
The web will be activated within a day or so. You have a choice to use
their web builder, but it does not have much of flexibility.
Your home page address is http://home.comcast.net/~your user name
Ours is http://home.comcast.net/~benkyoko
If you want to use the address http://your account
name.home.comcast.net (Ours is like this:
http://benkyoko.home.comcast.net)
you must add the following lines of HTML to your file after the
<title>Page Title</title> tags
<BASE HREF=http://home.comcast.net/~user name/>
Setting the publishing
parameter
In Nestscape/Mozilla/SeaMonkey composer go to Edit/Publishing Site
Settings
Server information
Site Name: Create your site name
Publishing Address: ftp://upload.comcast.net/
HTTP Address: http://home.comcast.net/~user name
Log in information
User name: your comcast user name
Password: your comcast password
Your home page should be saved as 'index.html'. Then somebody types
in your address, it will be the page they see. In composer after you
save the page you can click 'publish' and it will be up on the web!
Publishing is copying your page file on your active server. If you
include images on your page you also need those images on the server.
When you publish, check 'include images and other files'.
Organizing directory
How many pages you want and how to link them are up to you. When you
create lots of pages, it is easier to organize by creating
subdirectory. Put all the images on subdirectory named 'images' for
instance. We made the folders on the computer and matched named
subdirectories on the server. You can manage directories in Comcast,
but it is a bit slow and not very friendly. We are using Fetch for FTP client program. It
allows you to see the files just like on your computer, and
download/upload easily from/to FTP server. It is for Mac and $25 share
ware. We have not used Windows for web management, but Verio recommends
WS_FTP.
You can try these program before purchasing.
Now the page can go as far as your imagination takes you.
