In both columns, I find NOTEPAD.EXE.
In either column, I can open the NOTEPAD.EXE and find the html code for my homepage, saved as homepage.txt.
How do I get that onto the Web as my homepage?

It should not be saved as .txt, it should be .html

(Unless it is really homepage.txt.html, which is an issue since Microsoft thought it'd be a good idea to hide extensions for common file types back when they cobbled together XP.)

Yeah, I get confused about Gwangju, it's one of those places that feels like it should be up north, but isn't.

OK, make sure your file is called homepage.html (better yet, index.html), with no hidden extension beyond that. (In Windows Explorer, not Internet Explorer, Windows Explorer, go to "Tools" -> "Folder Options", click on the "View" tab, scroll down until you find "Hide extensions for known file types" and make sure there is no check mark next to it. Click OK. Then look at your file in Windows Explorer again. If it's homepage.html.txt or some such, then rename it to "index.html")

Logon to your FTP site using either your client, the process I put a link to earlier or any one of the number of examples you've been given in this thread. Copy the file from your hard drive to the FTP server (Right click index.html, click copy, go to the FTP directory where your homepage is to go, right click, click paste)

Type your URL (likely similar to the location you copied the file to) in a browser (IE, Firefox) and presto, your homepage.

I haven't been able to save it as html.
I click on 다른 이름으로 저장 (A).
Then I click on 하일 형식 (T).
The only options I get are ,txt and 모들 파일.
NOW what do I do?

Choose 모들 파일 and type "index.html" without the quotes as the file name.

Notepad is not an optimal homepage editor for, ahem, one such as yourself...
