You can specify the target file for an exported region using the
property EXPORT_FILE_NAME. E.g.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Topic A
  :PROPERTIES:
  :EXPORT_FILE_NAME: ~/public_html/myfile.html
  :END:
** Things to do [...] (private)
** Interesting Notes I would like to publish
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

You'll need to select the tree with C-c @ before exporting for this to
work.

See this section of the manual for more information:
