Can't Publish--Why? Part 2

[Carole Hall]

I'm posting this like this since I don't know if people go back and look at a question once it has been answered or not. I just wanted to respond to a couple of things
<< imo testing on a host you're not gonna use is pointless...what are you testing?>
I wanted to test everything like links and thumbnails to make sure it works before the whole world sees it. I thought if it doesn't work on a free site, it won't work anywhere. I didn't want to sign up with a host until I'm sure it's ready to put up, and I want to be sure I can pay for it every month.


<<Bite the bullet and get a real web host.>
Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best host to use that doesn't cost a lot? I would need one that lets you have A LOT of space, because my web site is about my favorite TV shows and will be done like a scrapbook and my collection is HUGE.

You can test everything like links and thumbnails by using the preview in
browser mode.

Also if you're using any FrontPage features that require the FrontPage
extensions such as a hit counter or forms, they most likely won't work on a
"free host."

Additionally, you may find yourself trying to fix "problems" with a free
host that won't exist on a host you pay for.

Bottom line, if it works in preview in browser, it will work on a good host.
Make sure your host has FrontPage extensions and when you publish do so by
publishing to http://yourdomain.com.
Then everything that works on your machine will work on your "live" site.
