Just make sure that your links all use fully-qualified URLs beginning with
"https:"

I believe you would just publish your page to https://yourdomain.com. Make
sure you check with your host to see what you need to do on the server side,
if you haven't already. I'm just going through the same situation myself. It
appears that http: and https: are actually two distinct sites. if you go to
http://yellowdoggraphics.net and https://yellowdoggraphics.net you will see
what I mean. My thought is you could end up with an issue unless you make a
page under http: and then link to pages in https:. From what I understand
https: just adds encryption to the page/site. Just my thoughts, like I said
I'm new to it so maybe someone could confirm my info.
 
There is really no need to publish via https. The links to the SSL area must use absolute URL
beginning with https and when leaving the area you must use http.
