Incredible document. I followed it without any problems at all.

The only thing that still isn't obvious to me is the deployment details. I deployed a snapshot, and it looks great when I'm preview-ing the site. How can I actually view the site, though?

Where did the mystery "deploy" process actually deploy the site to?

I poked around Google, the wiki, and the forums with little success.

Thanks!
