Operation Manual

Previewing and Publishing

Y Specify the number of pages to publish and click 2.. If you’re

exporting in HTML 3.2 format (see next chapter), set additional

choices if any. WebPlus exports the page(s) to temporary files, and

then the Account Details dialog appears.

Y By default, the dialog is set to publish to VisualCities. (If you’re

using an alternate Web server,

enter its FTP address.) All you

need to do is enter your pre-

assigned Username and

Password. Be sure to enter the

password exactly as given to

you, using correct upper- and

lower-case spelling, or the host server will not recognize it. When

publishing to VisualCities, leave the Folder box blank. (Alternate

Web servers, however, may require this information.) Click 2..

Y WebPlus seeks an Internet connection or establishes a new one,

and connects to the remote server. Sometimes (for example with

online services such as AOL) you’ll need to use the service’s

proprietary log-on software to establish a connection; this is not

necessary with VisualCities. You’ll see a message when all files

have been successfully copied.

Y Now you’ll be able to see your page(s) “live” on the Web. Point

your Web browser to the URL that includes the path to the host

server plus the folder to which you published. For VisualCities, the

publishing folder is the Site Name you selected when you

registered. For example, if your VisualCities Site Name is

sitename, then your Home page can be found at:

http://members.visualcities.com/sitename/

Y Congratulate yourself!

Before publishing your actual Web site, you’ll probably want to review

the WebPlus proofing options mentioned above, and learn about adding

search engine descriptors. Or you may want details on publishing to an

alternate Web server.
