Additional Editing Info

First it is important to note that when working with Microsoft® FrontPage® you are typically working with "TWO" copies of your web site. The first copy you have created on your own computer with FrontPage and saved to your hard drive. We'll call this your LOCAL WEB. You can access your LOCAL WEB with the Microsoft FrontPage Explorer.  You do not need to be connected to the Internet to open your local web and work with it.

The second copy resides on your web server hosting account. We'll call this your INTERNET WEB SITE.  Once your have created a web site (LOCAL WEB) on your machine, it is ready to publish to the Internet.   Using the FILE -> PUBLISH WEB option in the Microsoft FrontPage Explorer, you send a copy of your web site up to your web hosting account where it is now visible on the Internet.

When you make changes or additions to your LOCAL WEB, you can publish your updated web site to your INTERNET WEB SITE, thus keeping both copies of your web site in sync.

Sometimes it is convenient to make changes in 'real-time', directly on your live INTERNET WEB SITE on your web hosting account.   To do this, you can open your INTERNET WEB SITE in the same manner that you open your LOCAL WEB.
