If your /etc/fstab has an entry like this:
   /dev/fd0   /media/floppy0   auto    rw,user,noauto,owner   0 0
(including the "user" and "owner" modifiers) then as non-root
you can simply insert the floppy from the mavica and then type
   mount /media/floppy0

You then need to search around on the floppy for the pictures.
I haven't worked with Sony.  But the cameras I've worked with
stuck the pix into subdirectories.
   find /media/floppy0/. | grep -i jpg

Once you find them, just copy them whereever you want.
As for the website, someone else will have to help you.
