Hi Tracy,
Don't mean to hijack this thread but I've published a course from the Authoring Tool and uploaded it to a standard (in my case based on Wordpress) website.
From memory I just clicked publish and got a zip file of my course.
I then unzipped it and ftp'd the whole folder onto my hosted server.
I can now access it by visiting the folder I created in any browser.
If that's not what you're planning on doing, or if you need more pointers start a new thread and I'll try and help.
