I have designed a web site using publisher 2000 and saved it as a web page.  Now I want to publish it to the net using my free web site from my s.p.  I am so confused though and don't know what to do next.  Also when(if) I ever get it on the net, do I need to submit it to search engines?  Can anyone help me?  I don't like being quite so harsh, but you're better off ditching Publisher and using a tool that's actually made for web design.  Using Publisher is likely to cause all sorts of problems -cross-browser incompatibility being a biggie.

Try NVu (which is free), or DreamWeaver, if you have access to it.  Avoid FrontPage at all costs.

The BEST way (IMO) of getting your web pages onto your free web space is using FTP, if your ISP provides FTP access.  FTP Surfer is ONE of the best free FTP programs for MS Windows that I've used.

If you want people to be able to find your web site, yes you will need to submit it to search engines.  For most search engines, that process is free, no matter what web promotion companies try to tell you.index.php works too. Core FTP is what i use, but if your ISP does not allow, you must use their Upload tools. When doing this, you must make SURE that all the files are in the same place as they are on your computer. Dreamweaver is great, but if your just begining i would give Adobe GoLive a go. Who is your host? Freewebs? Geocities? Bravehost? Quote
