When I eventually have a public fme server and extract workbench I want the users to be able to type in GPs to extract by. I almost know how to do this but not quite, its something to do with published parameters.

As you've assumed, I would agree that you could perform this via published parameters.
For example:
- Set up a Creator transformer
- Connect it to a 2DPointReplacer
- Publish the X and Y parameters within the 2DPointReplacer
- Set up a CoordinateSystemSetter and set the coordinate system expected or publish it as well to allow the user to choose.
To pubilsh transformer parameters in 2013:
- you should be able to click the triangle next to any transformer parameter and click Link to Parameter.
In earlier versions:
- go to the Transformers section in the Navigator
- find the transformer
- find the right parameter
- right click on it
- choose to Create a User Parameter.
