Not sure I completely understand what you're asking but here goes:

I think you have created an html blog - presumably on your pc and are trying to work out how to publish it???

1. Set up your ftp soution: Most hosts offer an ftp service or set up your own - Filezilla is popular:

It is opensource (free) and has easy to follow instructions for installing and set up.

Then choose how you want to publish:

A) I would suggest you play about with your blog offline until you are completely au fait with how it works by setting up a 'server' on your own PC by using xmapp:

This is an excellent system with a simple step-by-step explanation and video of how to install and set up and huge support and tutorials if you get stuck. You can then recreate how your site will be front end and back end exactly as it would online BEFORE going live and discovering you don't know how to work things and spoiling your webmaster experience.

Or

B) You can go live straight away.

You need to choose a web host - hundreds to choose from but check they are ok with adult content.

Buy your domain name - this is easily done as part of the same process of setting up your hosting package.

If you have chosen this method you will probably find the host has their own ftp system.

Any good host will have clear instructions on how to set up your system and upload your site files, etc and if you struggle should offer support.

Alternatively, just do what the other posters have suggested and use a blog host and transfer your HTML to their system or use one of their templates and just upload your actual content.

This system will be slightly more restrictive in what you can do compared to running your own site but perhaps is a good place to start to see how you get on and build up some followers.

Hope this helps a bit and sorry if I've got the totally wrong end of the stick!?
