RE: Publish or upload- correct use of terminology?

[Mike Adams <Mike_Adams -at- summithq -dot- com>]

Hi,

I have to disagree on that one. "Publish" is just a dumbing done performed
by M$ when they thought up Frontpage. The term is upload. When you upload
file to a website, they have also "done more" that simply change location.
If you have properly uploaded the files to the proper location, they will
change the website.

Cheers,

Mike.

Publish infers more than moving the file from one place (C:\) to
another (http://). In fact, much authoring software, when it comes
time to move the web site online, uses publish also.

When you upload the files, nothing is changed, just the location. In
the case of an ecommerce web site, publish is more appropriate.
