Confused as to publishing a web site with Publisher

[Abi]

I apologize for using the "General Questions" forum, but the Web Design area
doesn't seem to get much response to questions (as I have previously posted
there), and this area does and I could really use the help.

Here are the steps I've gone through.
I created a site in Publisher.
I have acquired Yahoo as my web hosting provider.
I attempted to upload my files the way Yahoo, and many other "help" sites
say, by using Publish to Web, but kept getting firewall errors.
Therefore I installed SmartFTP and uploaded my .pub file successfully.
Then I realized I can't use a .pub file! (DUH)
So, I saved my .pub as a web site, and then re-uploaded successfully.

So far, so good, and it only took me an hour!!!

Now the next trick. I renamed my file on Yahoo index.htm and then I viewed
my website. The first page came up with the exception of an image.
I click the link I set up that says "Enter site" and I get an HTTP 404 error.

What am I doing wrong? Why can't I get to the other pages? When I preview
the site while working on it in Publisher, all the links and images work.
What am I missing?

I'm new to this and could really use the help to get my website up and
running...or at least up!

Thank you!
