Okay, i've converted to .xhtm, help please?

Question

I asked a question a few minutes ago; http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AlCXDtTEq3tAOPYRUWbHiXbsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20080814094018AA2xPAH right, so i converted it to html, but it actually changed it to .xtm or something, so i tried to upload that to my microsoft webspace (which i payed for!) and it had everything different files, whereas the .pub file is just one file.

so i changed it to single sheet webpage and tried to upload that, but i still dont get how to use that as my webpage, instead of the template that's already in place. i just want the website; www.wytchstitch.co.uk to be the one i made on microsoft publisher, as oppose to the somewhat bad template that there already is. I've tried uploading the files, i've tried clicking the button "publish to web" and it's just not sending it to the website.

please, please help.

many thanks and blessed be.

Even though you change the FORMAT and SYNTAX to xhtml (if that's what you did) then the file extension should still be htm or html. (Some hosts will allow htm but some demand html - html will always work.)

If, however, you're working with xml, that's another matter. The file extension should be xml. It all depends on the first line (<?xml

and the <!DOCTYPE statement at the head of the file.) Look these up at http://www.w3.org and find out for sure, what you're doing. Else, your files won't show up when someone goes to find your website!
