FrontPage Extensions
When using FrontPage
extensions please be sure to install the FrontPage
option in the control panel prior to uploading any
files. Failure to do this can cause error messages in
FrontPage when uploading files.
Using FrontPage
If you plan to use
FrontPage you must be sure to upload to your site
using the publish commands in FrontPage only. You can
not use both an FTP program and the publish command in
FrontPage. Failure to do this can cause damage to the
appearance of the site.
Uploading Your Files
To upload your files,
you will need a FTP (File Transfer Protocol) program.
We suggest using the shareware programs CuteFTP or
WSFTP for the PC and Fetch for the Mac. Please note
that you need to be logged in on your Internet Service
Provider to connect to your site with FTP.
When uploading your
files, the home page needs to be named index.html and
the files need to be uploaded into the domain-www
directory.
You can download WS_FTP
from http://www.ipswitch.com/pd_wsftp.html or
if you are a student, faculty or staff member of an
educational institution, US Government employee, or
for home (non-business) purposes you can download this
free version WS_FTP.
You can also find the
above programs at http://search.shareware.com/

If you want to Telnet to your site, you need to use
SSH software. We suggest SecureCRT for the PC and that
is available at www.vandyke.com
or Nifty Telnet for the Mac which might be found at http://search.shareware.com/

Registering Your Site with Search Engines
Search engines use
keywords to match users' interests with web sites. You
need to go to the search engine site to register. Some
popular ones are Fish
the Net, 711.net,
yahoo.com, altavista.com
and infoseek.com.
Once you have registered with the search engines, it
will probably take a few weeks before you are listed
in their indexes.
To add keywords to
your site
If you are using Ark Webs's
Site Creation Tool, go to "Classify" and
enter your keywords there.
If you created your
site with HTML, you need to add the following code
in between the <HEAD> tags.
<meta
name="keywords" content="enter
keywords here separating them with commas with most
important keywords first">
<meta
name="description" content="write a
description of your site here">
