Your testing can be done on your own PC within Front
Page. If you preview in a browser you can even check
links to other sites if you have included them on your
site. This is referred to as a disk-based web (as opposed
to a server-based web). The only things you will not be
able to test are things that require the use of Front
Page Extensions such as forms. You could set up a server
on your PC with Extensions to test those things out but I
am guessing that is beyond your undertaking.

You should have no worries with publishing your site to
its final location for testing. Until you give out the
domain name, no one but you can look at the site in
progress. As you test, you can delete what you don't want
on the host server.

As to what is happening on the Tripod site, my guess is
that their uploading system does not uplaod all of the
files from your Front Page disk based web and that this
is what is causing your difficulties.

Bite the bullet and get a real web host.

>Would anybody know why my web site won't publish? I
have tried it on two different free sites--Powow and
Tripod, but it doesn't work on either one. I don't know
about Powow, but I do know that my Tripod site is
FrontPage compatible. In both cases, I'll upload using
their system and it will tell me that I have uploaded
successfully; the individual files will show up and I can
click on them, but they don't "come together" like they
should. I have tried what people have said to do before,
like making the picture files smaller and shortening the
file names, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
It looks the way it should in the preview mode of
FrontPage. I have a registered domain, but I don't want
to do anything there unless I am sure it is going to
work, so that's why I want to "test" it on free sites
first. Any suggestions?
