Hiya. I was trying to publish my site to the web, but then this screen
appeared: http://i4.tinypic.com/111jr09.jpg (you will have to copy and paste
that into a browser). So I clicked on browse:
http://i4.tinypic.com/111jtjl.jpg and then I basically tried just clicking on
"My Web Sites on MSN" from there: http://i4.tinypic.com/111juvl.jpg. There
were 2 options- either click on "Maniacal Illusions United" or "My Web
Documents." Since I have a group called Maniacal Illusions United (which I
assume was why there was a folder by that name), I decided to select it:
http://i4.tinypic.com/111jxnc.jpg. From there, I selected the folder
"Documents", then selected "Pictures": http://i4.tinypic.com/111jzud.jpg.
After that, I basically got nowhere: http://i4.tinypic.com/111k0o7.jpg. So
then I decided to click on the "Open" button just to see what would happen:
http://i4.tinypic.com/111kmtj.jpg. I then clicked "Ok":
http://i4.tinypic.com/111kqp4.jpg but basically ended up nowhere. It listed
some possible causes. I read it up on the help section but it didn't really
help much, ironically. That's because I couldn't understand how the
instructions were worded- I didn't know some of the terminology. Anyhow, I
eventually came back to this screen after having clicked "Ok" on the error
screen as mentioned previously. This is what appeared:
http://i4.tinypic.com/111kvuw.jpg. I looked at the bottom of that alert and
clicked on "Click here to learn more." Unfortunately, it gave me this screen:
http://i4.tinypic.com/111kz13.jpg.

Please, someone tell me what I should do as to be able to publish my site to
the internet! Any help would be appreciated.

Thank-you for hearing me out.
 
Woops nevermind I guess you do not have to copy and paste the links. They
looked inactive when I pasted them.
 
You need to type in the full http: address into that box, to connect to
your host's web server. Your host must have installed the FP server
extensions for your hosting account to allow you to publish via http: mode.
 
I did type in full addresses. Maybe I put in the wrong addresses? I'm not
sure about any of this at all. I tried reading the help sections but that
didn't work, I couldn't understand a lot of the terminology..... what server
extensions should I install? I am very confused...
