Publishing Your Web Page • Your web page must be placed on a web server for it to be accessible to others • Typically, this means your HTML files will have to be uploaded • Your web pages should have a file suffix of either .htm or .html • Once you have uploaded your web page to a file server, it will have a URL (web address)
