When I got it I followed the directions for uploading to the web. But, when I go to the actual browser and check the site, it says that it was either uploaded incorrectly or that it hasn't been uploaded at all. I need major help. How long does it take to upload a website?

It's instant. Check that you have saved your web pages with the extension .html or .htm. It won't read them otherwise. And your homepage should be called index.html or index.htm.
