…but I have no clue about how it’s done.
If I make a HTML webpage on Microsoft Word, how can I upload it to the internet?
I tried it earlier and couldn’t quite get it done. I don’t know whether to use Geocities, Tripod, or something else.
Don’t make HTML with Word. Word throws in all kinds of extra coding that makes the files sizes indecently huge. I have had Word-HTML files go from 50K down to 3 after I redid them properly.
What you should do, is make up your document in Word, and save as Rich Text Format (.rtf). You can then import that into a WYSIWYIG HTML editor, and avoid the masses of useless tags that Word to HTML will put in.
Sorry, I should answer your question too!
I can’t recommend where to host it; that’s up to you, and depends on other factors. Once you have figured out WHERE, the how is to get a program like CuteFTP or WS-FTP that can FTP (File Transfer Protocol) the HTML and other files to the site.
These two FTP programs are really easy to use.
Actually, it may be better for you to save your file as a txt file (if you’re using wordpad, etc.).
As for uploading it, I would assume that the free web page services you provided will have their own FTP-ish uploading utility. I know for a fact that geocities does.
Get Netscape, its free, it comes with Composer. Copy your word doc & paste it into composer as a page. Use the pupbish feature & itll post it on the web for you. Of course you have a web site right? You really should find someone to do it for you if you can. Maybe one of the users could just post it on their site for you & you can link to that?
