I was thinking about giving customers the option to write their own text,
and then upload it to the web server via a web-based form. 2 questions I
have:
1) would the file have to be published through FP in order for it to be
seen the next time the page is loaded in a browser?
2) what types of files/formats would work best? I'm thinking plain text so
there are no conversion issues.

Thanks

it depends on what you're trying to do and why. there are a lot of ways to
get things to upload. everything from a simple upload script to a full bore
file manager.
If you provide more info, such as, what type of server, what you're trying
to get uploaded and what the end result is supposed to be you'll get a much
better answer.

I would suggest looking at creating a custom database driven content
management solution where the user fills in a form that stores the content
in a database, then using ASP, PHP, etc. the content is then displayed on a
specific page.
