Help!
I am trying very hard to put up a website. Working carefully through all kinds of tutorials and so on. The web page reserved for me said that when I was ready to upload my site I should delete the index file. So I did. Now when I type in my web address it just says page not found.
Can I get my index page back? Have I lost my site? What did I do wrong? 
Shouting at my PC didn't seem to help at all.

Thanks for your replies. I have been using Berlin Bob's tutorial and i'm using Rootschat's FTP program.
I have been using Publisher to build my website (actually don't like publisher because it seems to be so 'independent' of everything else, and maybe that's the problem) but it's quick and I was keen to get something on my web space while I work on a better one. I thought it would be simple to upload.
Anyway the next problem is that I don't seem to have a page named 'index' in my website files. I have converted to html but can't find anything that looks like index.

Hi Susan
I used Publisher to put up a holding page when I first got my webspace - B-Bob hated it because Microsoft html is not very efficient code.
Anyway, you should have a file called index or home.html/htm somewhere on your computer. Can you remember what you called the saved file?

Just checked my old folders. You should have a file generated by Publisher called index.html and a folder called index_files. both the file and the contents should be uploaded with an FTP, as Falkyrn says, to your webspace.

Thanks Gadget. I must have done something wrong though because I have looked everywhere and there isn't a file called index, or anything like it.
However, giving up on publisher - which I don't like anway, did I mention that! ? I have created the start of a web site in Frontpage and it did have an index file and I have now uploaded it. So now at least when I type in the web address it goes somewhere!  yippee
Long way to go yet. But thanks to you all I persevered and at least feel as though I'm back on track.
Thank you 
Susan

Glad you're sorted now (most of us have been there!).
When your site is up and running, don't forget to add the details to your profile, and PM Biker to get the site added to the "list" at http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,23896.0.html
Good luck
JULIAN
