Kristi,

Sorry to confuse you. Uploading a website can be a bit confusing at first,
but once you figure it out you should be able to handle it yourself. My
point was that the fact that you use dial-up should not make any difference
other than the uploading might take a bit longer.

You can learn the basics here:
Prepare, publish, and maintain your Publisher Web site:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/publisher/HA100947601033.aspx

And GoDaddy has very good support articles. Here are a couple:

Reference: GoDaddy: Using Windows XP to Upload Your Site:
http://help.godaddy.com/article/106

Reference: GoDaddy: Using Windows Vista to Upload Your Site:
http://help.godaddy.com/article/4191

I am sure that GoDaddy also provided you links to how to ftp your web files
to your host.

However, I would suggest that since it does not appear that you are using a
form on your page that you consider downloading and installing the free FTP
client FileZilla:
http://filezilla-project.org/ It is likely to be easier for you in the long
run. Also peruse this page...in other words, read the instructions:
http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/documentation/

Reference: Aplus.net: How do I upload with Filezilla:
http://www.apluskb.com/scripts/How_do_I_upload_with_answer3668.html
This article has some good screenshots that may help you understand how to
use FileZilla.

Now, as to netzero I can't help you much. Are you using the paid service or
the free service? Assuming that you are paying, I would suggest that you
contact the support department and ask them for instructions on how to ftp
your web files to your godaddy host account. Perhaps tell them you want to
use FileZilla and ask them if that is ok. Or ask the Godaddy support people
how to use netzero to upload to your host? Both support departments should
be able to give you the additional information you need to get your site
files uploaded.

If you compress your photos, then yes the file size should be less. That is
the whole reason for compressing your files. Did you read the articles about
compressing your photos? Perhaps read them again?

Look, raising horses is beyond most people's abilities but you learned how
to do that. You can learn the steps you need to take to upload your web
files to your web host. Just read and reread the instructions until they
sink in. Once you get it, it will be easy to ftp your site files to your
host. You designed a pretty complicated website...you can learn the other
too.

David,

OMG! I'm more confused than ever now about what steps, which files and
how
to publish to the web with MS Publisher. I'm on Netzero "Hi-Speed" (faux
Hi-
Speed using cached files) dial-up and use Go Daddy to host and when I
tried
it before, after 15-20 minutes, it would give me a "servor error" and
sometimes load just enough to mess up my site. Of course Netzero sent
several pages of indecipherable instructions about changing settings to
try
to correct the problem. I'm just not smart enough to figure it out and I
know it should be easy! I'm so discouraged about my inability to
accomplish
a task that you describe as being no problem. My third party is 1,500
miles
away so that is not an option. I'm doing the best I can with limited
self-
taught computer skills and any free coaching I can get from generous
people
like you. Unfortunately, I'm not well versed in computer language and too
much of the coaching terminology is beyond my understanding. Can you give
it
to me step-by-step in laymans terms? Can I do a run through without going
online?

Where do I find the "links provided for ftp uploading"?

When I compress my photos as documents it shows a reduction in the file
size.
Is that a misrepresentation?

Thank you,
Kristi

Kristi,

Google the subject of text/code ratio and you will find a lot of
information. Here is just one article that rings true to me:
http://www.affilorama.com/blog/text-to-code-ratio And as you will notice
a
quote from a Google rep...it does not make any difference. Bottom line is
Publisher code is what it is, and as long as you are producing filtered
code, that is as lean as you can get it. If you want leaner code, then
switch to a different program...

You won't get better pictures by going with "print" compression rather
than
"web" when you view them on line. You will just get a slower loading
picture
in IE. Compress all images for the web.

Of course you need lots of pictures for a site such as yours, and you are
approaching it correctly. One picture of each horse on the page with links
to more pictures. I was only saying that it is your pictures that slow the
loading of your pages...not the text. So keep that in mind.

I really see no reason why you cannot upload your own files to your host.
I
have a dial-up connection I use occasionally and yes it takes a few more
minutes but it is not really a problem. When you Publish to the Web and
produce your web files, you are producing filtered code and doing it
appropriately. As long as you are not doing a Save as a Web page, you are
fine. You should be getting both an index.htm file and an index_files
folder
that contains your other pages and all your graphics. The web files are
what
you upload...not your .pub file. And I would expect that even your
index_files folder is not that large. Right click it and look at
properties
to get the size. Once again I see absolutely no reason why you shouldn't
be
able to upload your own files. Have the third party show you how to upload
from your own computer...or follow some of the links we have provided
about
ftp uploading etc.

By the way, though I don't want to overload you with too much feedback, I
would suggest that you consider using a larger font for your text. Unless
you have young eyes, a font size of 8 is just too small...which is what I
think you are using on your home page. I prefer 12 personally, but then my
eyes are much olderererer. <g> You can get away with using smaller fonts
on
menus and such, but if there is a lot of text I would suggest that you use
at least 10 pt and consider 12.
