How do I Publish my Website with Microsoft Expression Web?

Microsoft Expression is the successor of Microsoft FrontPage.  Expression is web design software to help you build your website.  You can also Publish your website from Expression to your server at Web Hosting Hub.

If you are migrating a site from FrontPage to Microsoft Expression Web, please see our tutorial on how to publish a FrontPage Site with Microsoft Expression Web.
