Trying to set up a page for reports, help please!

Okay, so to recap, I will click and save and upload the smilies locally. And I have completed writing a report in Microsoft word and converted it to html, and I'm using the view source feature to make it look nicer since it's finally written. So my last question (host of questions in one, actually) is where do I upload the html docs/smilies/etc to? What folder do I put them in and do I have to give them certain names to make sure they show up? How do I assign one as a homepage? I got the account at byethost.com and here are my folders in filemanager:

htdocs (directory)
tmp (directory)

.htgroup (htgroup file)
.htpasswd (htpasswd file)

I think I figured that part out. I also recently got an account there. You have to upload all your html docs into the htdocs folder. Then you need to write an index.html page where you link to your Epic report(s). I'm pretty sure this is just the "noobs" way of doing things and there is a much better solution out there....but it works for starters. smile

Oh my goodness, lol, that is the most concise and easy to understand answer I've gotten. As soon as I get out of this hellhole I call work, I will try it tonight nod This whole webpage thing is so confusing to me, and the video tutorials at this byethost site are a joke. I'm more of a hardware computer guy, surfing the net and doing web page stuff just infuriates me. Thank you for your help. thumbsup
