Presentation/Web FrontPage - Opening your Website "Live"

The method below places an entry in your "Web folders" menu structure, or uses the entry already there, to help you open and change your website "live" - directly on the server on which the site resides. In Fayette County, the method below should not be used to create a website on a server from scratch, though it has that capability. If you are a School Technology Coordinator or Webmaster with administrative rights to your school site, create new sites by converting folders on the site to subwebs, and assigning rights to them after opening. If you are someone without administrative rights to the school site, the method below can be used to open your site "live" on the web server, but it must be created for you in advance - see your STC or local Webmaster.

 

1) Open FrontPage, and select "File/Open Web."  In the pull-down "Look in" window, select "Web Folders." If your website appears in the list, you've accessed your site before - go to accessing your page after the first time at the end of this document.  Otherwise, click the "Create New Folder" icon.

2) In the "Add Web Folder" dialog box, enter the entire URL of your website, e.g., "http://www.bshs.fcps.net/departments/math/Jones." Click "Next."

3) You'll be presented with a login screen.  Use your Fayette Domain login username and password.  It is a good idea to un-check the "Save this password in your password list" box, since if someone were to sit down at your workstation after you'd logged in, they would not need your username and password to access your website.  Click "OK."

4)  The URL for your website should then appear in the "Folder name" window in your "Open web folder" dialog box, and a click of "Open" will open the site.

5) If you are creating the site for the first time, you'll get this "Add Information..." box.  Click "Yes" - this automatically creates the files needed to manage your site. In general, these files will be generated when your site is created by someone else, so you won't get this box.

6) Finally, you'll be placed into your working environment, which looks like this:

 

Accessing your Website after the First Time

Select "Open Web" from the "File" menu. In the "Open Web Folder" dialog box, select "Web Folders" in the "Look in" pull-down menu.  Select your site from the list, and click "Open."  You will be given a login box, after which the site will open.
