I use Arachnophillia version 4, it has an edit mode for composing the HTML code and a view mode to see the results (either in it's own viewer or the computers default viewer (I.E, Firefox or whatever)
(I like the version 4, I have tried later versions which are java based but I had problems with this, but V4 does all I need)
The upload process to the actual web site will depend on your ISP, some use FTP others have their own system of web based uploaders, you will have to check with your ISP for details. The one thing that seems common is your first page (the "home" page) needs to be called index.htm
The other thing that caught me out is a page that worked fine on my system failed when I uploaded it, after a lot of frustration I found that it was because I was using Windoze and the server used Unix, Windoze does not bother if a file name uses capitals or lower case letters but Unix does. So if I had a link calling Picture.jpg and the file I uploaded was picture.jpg all I saw was the red cross.

I hope this helps
