I prefer method #1 as well, that way I can experiment locally and only publish when I'm happy...and have a current copy on my local machine.
I wonder what the overall preference is?

| The "live web" you refer to is your website on your
| host's server. To say it another way this is the web site
| that others view when they visit your site (as they have
| no access to your computer).
|
| There are two styles that folks use to modify their
| website:
|
| 1. make changes to the web on the local computer (this is
| referred to as the "disk-based" web in Front Page
| parlance) and then publish those changes to their host.
| If the host supports Front Page Extensions, then the
| publish uses the "http" method. If not, you must use FTP
| to publish your web,
|
| 2. make change on what you call the live web (this is
| referred to as the "server-based" web in Front Page
| parlance) and periodically publish back to their local PC
| for purpose of backup. Again based on support for Front
| Page Extensions, you use either the http or FTP approach
| to publishing. If you forget to make backups and the host
| server crashes, you latest work is lost.
|
| What is your desire for "instant changes"? I use approach
| 1 above and any change I make can be published to the
| server in one minute or so using a dialup connection.
| Approach 2 would have a similar change available in say
| five seconds.
