You have to upload the pages to your web server via FTP.

Icons should be 'anchor points', more commonly refered to as 'links', coded by whatever method you write your web pages. The URL of that 'link' will be another page on your site.

Thats the short answer.
I suspect you'll need a more in-depth answer though?

Regards.
MrTom.

I see, but what is FTP, and it is similar to newsletter as well, because I developed a newsletter file. html and draft it to Google email and send it like you do with file.doc(x)

and as a consequence, I could not see a newsletter like you guys usually see when open your email account, but instead it is just an icon of html file.

Please answer me this question. Thanks and take care,

FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol. As the name suggests, FTP is used to transfer files between computers on a network. You can use FTP to exchange files between computer accounts, transfer files between an account and a desktop computer, or access online software archives.

Take a look here.............

Sorry tai-nguyenthe22911, I totally missed your earlier reply.

As Sam has already pointed out, FTP is a service for uploading and downloading files to and from your web-host so technically yes, you do pay for it but its all inclusive in your web-hosting package.

If you have a web-hosting package then you should already have an FTP account, the address of which will be similar to ftp.<your domain>.com or whatever.

If you don't have a web-hosting package then you will not be able to make your web-pages accessible over the internet.

Regards.
MrTom.

Its so simple to put Photo shop pages to Internet simply by connecting File Zilla to internet and uploading files.Other than this you can upload it to you sites and social media by url.

If you are extremely new to site building, I would suggest downloading a free website template and swap the stock images for your own (ctrl + shift + alt + s = "Save for Web..." from Photoshop. Makes images much more compressed for faster load times). This is how I learned. I reverse engineered the template and figured out what did what and where. You can use the slice tool in PS and export to HTML, but it can be dicey and in today's mobile world, tables and columns are a thing of the past.
