FrontPage 2000 (the PC version)
Launch Microsoft FrontPage. Right at the beginning, you should plan ahead. You may, in the future, have several sets of web pages, one set for Math 591/592, another for a course you're teaching, another for personal use, etc. FrontPage calls each of these sets a web, and makes it easy for you to keep them straight. When you launch FrontPage for the first time, pull down File, New, and select Web.
Select One Page Web, just to indicate that it should make an index.html file for you right away. You can add more web pages later. Also, in the box at the right, type in the location for your web. I named mine 591 and put it in the default location where FrontPage looks for webs. If you are working with a floppy disk or a Zip disk, I think you'll need to point to a folder on that disk. Every time you launch FrontPage, you'll need to do File, Open Web, and direct it to that location.
Now you should edit your index.html file. Open it in the usual way (File, Open, or just click on the opening folder icon.) In the main window, type something useful, like your name, your office number, your office telephone number, and your email address.
Save the index.html file. It will automatically put it in the the folder you specified above.
To publish your web, pull down File, Publish Web ... and fill in the location to publish your web as below, except change the name, of course. Note that here I am going to put all my files in a subdirectory called 591. This is because Math 591 is not the main thing I want people to see when they look at my personal.bgsu.edu web page; it's just one of them. You may want to use something like ftp://personal.bgsu.edu/~jones/public_html instead.
After you click Publish, you'll need to enter your name and password. FrontPage will remember it until you exit FrontPage, but I believe that it will not save it more permanently.
If FrontPage finds other files on the server, it may ask you if you want them deleted. Be careful! In particular, don't delete the public_html folder! If FrontPage asks you if you want to delete it, you are probably publishing to the wrong location, probably to your main directory on personal.bgsu.edu (in my case, this is ~zirbel/).
