UPLOADING YOUR PAGES

Putting your work on the Internet is easy.  Once you've signed into Geocities, go to file manager.  Scroll down to the bottom of the page until your see the section that looks like this:

Once you are here, the rest is simple.  Place a check by both of the boxes above ("automatically convert.... and automatically change....), then click on the browse button.  You will get a dialogue box that asks you to select your file.  Select it, and you will see your file name appear to the left of the button, just as you see in the first line above.  Click on the button that says "UPLOAD FILES", and voila, you're live on the Internet!

In addition to your pages, you MUST upload each and every image that is on your page!  When you click on the Browse button to select your file, you probably won't see your image where you saved it.  That is because, by default, Geocities will only show you files that have an "html" extension, or web pages.  To get to your images, click on the browse button, go the bottom of that dialogue box

And click on the drop down menu next to where it says, "Files of type".  Change that to "All Files," and your image files will appear above.  Select the image that you want, and upload it the same as above.

An alternate, and easier way to upload your pages is with the Composer publish button.  Residing next to the save button, click on the publish button..  To use this, you will need to know your entire ftp (file transfer protocol) address, but it's easy!  For Geocities, your ftp address will be ftp://ftp.geocities.com/yourusername In taking this route, Geocities will automatically upload not only your Web page, but all images other files associated with your page.  This is a real time saver, but you still need to know how to get into your file manager.
