Has FrontPage been giving you NOTHING but grief when you try to get it to publish your web pages? Well grieve no more, help is here. At first this was very experimental but I have tested it and it works. This is how it is done:

1. Open MS FrontPage and choose your the web you want to publish and open it.
2. Once opened click on the "PUBLISH" button as shown in the picture above.

3. A publish dialogue box which looks something like this will appear. If you want to publish the whole web (after a major renovation) leave the "Publish changes pages only" bit unchecked.
4. But since I want not to waste any time, (time is money) I chose to publish only the CHANGED pages. You can also leave this box checked if you are publishing your web for the first time.
5. If you have any other web pages nestled in your directory, I would suggest checking the "Include child webs" option too.
6. Since I have used this publish utility succesfully twice, I have 2 options there, but now, since this is your first time, click on MORE WEBS to continue!

7. Another dialogue box, similar to the one above would appear.
8. Now, enter these words ftp://username:pword@ftp.oocities.com/hood/####
9. Don't worry about what you enter here, it isn't important.
10. Click on OK to trudge on.

11. After clicking on OK, you will now see this box here. What you do is then specify the FTP Server Name.
12. You now enter ftp.oocities.com in the field provided. This is GeoCities' FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server.
13. Leave the directory path empty unless you are certain you want to publish the pages into an existing directory.
14. Click on NEXT > to continue!

15. This is where you enter your GeoCities Username and password, should be simple enough yes!
16. Click on Finish as shown.

17. A box like this would appear and would start to transfer your files over provided you given the program correct and sufficient information to complete its task. Happy publishing, not too hard ya?

Hints : If you find that there is a server:connection timed out error spitting back at you, don't despair, the reason is because the GeoCities server is kind of busy and could be sluggish, so if you want try again at 12 a.m. or very early in the morning before work starts, perhaps 8 a.m. or so.
