I need step by step instruction on how to create and place a Google friendly
sitemap on my website. I found a site to help me create and download the
XML, but where do I go from there? I have found nothing in the Frontpage
manual or online to help me actually place the XML on my site. Thank you in
advance for your assistance.

Tom,

I have followed all of Google's instructions. I get stuck when I get to
this part:

Q: Where do I place my Sitemap?
It is strongly recommended that you place your Sitemap at the root directory
of your HTML server; that is, place it at http://example.com/sitemap.xml.gz.
In some situations, you may want to produce different Sitemaps for different
paths on your site — e.g. if security permissions in your organization
compartmentalize write access to different directories.
We assume that if you have the permission to upload
http://example.com/path/sitemap.xml.gz, you also have permission to report
metadata under http://example.com/path/.

What does it mean to "place your Sitemap at the root directory of your HTML
server" Do I need to create a folder or a page and import the XML, then link
it to the index page?

The root directory is the main directory of your web, where everything is
stored. Your index file is in the root directory, as well as possibly other
documents. All folders are part of the root directory.

To be directly in the root directory, it would be:
www.mywebiste.com/sitemap.xml
