Publishing Photoshop web photo galleries via FP 2000

I just spent a very frustrating three hours trying to create a web page
where a potential client could view a selection of my photographs.
Photoshop CS2 has a utility that makes it very easy to create web
pages, but getting them onto the Internet is another matter entirely.
For one thing, apparently if you use FrontPage to manage your website,
as I do, you will screw up your website big time if you FTP additional
pages onto it. For another, Photoshop creates a website with the home
page "index.htm," which if I did publish it to my site would replace
the existing index, with disastrous results for the site. So I spent a
couple of hours trying to bring the Photoshop-created pages into
FrontPage so I could publish them as standalone pages on my website.
However, all the links refused to work and trying to reset them
manually was one super-frustrating exercise. Eventually I gave up and
e-mailed jpegs of the photos to the client. But other photographers do
this all the time, so there must be a way. Does anyone know what it is?
