Online Publishing

[liam88]

I've recently finished a pretty comprhensive summary of the Human Rights Situation in Burma and I was going to publish it online for anybody who fancied a look (can give the adress out to people who are interested at my college human rights group etc.) Anybody got any advice about the best place to put it up? It's in Word at the moment-about 9 pages with a few pictures.

Thanks :)

Convert it to PDF (http://www.cutepdf.com/), write an introductory page, and put in on your ISP webspace, or Yahoo, or similar.

I'd post it to political newsgroups/blogs. As many of them as you can find and hope it gets picked up

Thanks guys-although some questions here; see although I'm fairly familiar with the web am by o means an expert and this stuff is v. new to me. Adam the linkd oesn't work on my computer :( Also do you mean on a yahoo space or something?
Dodge thanks for your suggestion! Should I put it in PDF like Adam said first? Maybe I should host it somewhere then link it?
Thanks!

ello- ok there's another web forum I post on and whenever I type in the adress (internet explorer) it drops down with the full adress-you know how it does when you've typed in an adress ebfore; but when I highlight that adress and press enter it takes me to a specific thread on there that I viewed months ago. I've tried deleting histoty, cookies and files and it won't budge. Not a big problem just niggling-how else is internet history stored?
Cheers

Ok guys-I need some help!
I've made a website in Frontpage (2002) and I want to put it up on the internet (for free). I need a place where every now and against I can edit my site in frontpage and re-upload it. I don't mind sub-domains (especially as I can get a .tk adress for it) or a small-amount of pop-ups.
I know google is my friend (well actually it isn't because this is a human-rights website) and I punched in free webspace frontpage on there and got a few results but I thought I'd check for advice with you guys first because I know that some of you (especially Adam) are web experts! If anybody could give me some adivc ei'd be really greatful because I'd love to get it up in the next week or so but I could really do with someone to guide me through it!
You'll get the satisfaction of knowing you've helped further the cause of Human Rights in Burma and will get a pint at the next meet-up if I can make it!
Thanks!

I have very little experience with FP, and don't see the point of it any more now that most blogging applications can handle basic content management. I'd recommend a (free) hosted WordPress (http://wordpress.com/) blog if you're going down that route (keep it Irish; one of the developers is from Cork).

Liam, empty your PMs.

I've made a website in Frontpage (2002) There's your problem. ;)


...and I want to put it up on the internet (for free). I need a place where every now and against I can edit my site in frontpage and re-upload it. I don't mind sub-domains (especially as I can get a .tk adress for it) or a small-amount of pop-ups. Dahamsta might ban me for the very suggestion, but it sounds like Yahoo's geocities (http://www.geocities.com/) might suit. The "easy upload" option will let you update a text only html page very easily. If you've got new images (local, not hotlinked) on the page with each update, it's not much more complicated.

Don't be afraid to try something more complicated though. Updating a site with an ftp client like Filezilla (http://sourceforge.net/projects/filezilla/) is fairly easy, once you get the hang of it. Dahamsta's suggestion of blogging software makes sense too.
