Hello Guys,

Just thought I would pass on some info to all who are building a website. This was very easy to do since Sydney had already built our web pages for us. I downloaded a trial version of "WS FTP Home" software. It was very easy to install and easy to operate. Here's the link: http://www.ipswitch.com/products/ws_ftp/home/index.asp

After you install WS FTP Home on your computer you can easily set up your web site login information using site manager. You will need your hostname, your login, and your password for your FTP website login. I unzipped Sydneys file that she had created for us into a seperate folder. with the FTP software I "connected" to my website and selected the files that Sydney had made for us and uploaded the files into the /public_html directory. This makes the pages accessible for everyone to see!

Some of you might have found a quicker/better way but this worked great for me and it was really very easy to get the site up and running very quickly!
I hope this helps!I'll be happy to answer any questions!
