RE: FrontPage

["Said Shafik" <sshafik@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Adding to what Lee mentioned, Microsoft has a Front Page addin called: KissFP (http://www.vorburger.ch/kissfp/details/index.html) which facilitates uploading of FrontPage-based Web sites to Hosts without MS Server Extensions by FTP.

In my case, the city wants us to get rid of Dreamweaver totally.

Hi, Jan and Paul--
Generally speaking, "migrating all your pages" to FrontPage most likely
means enabling FrontPage extensions on your web server (if they are not
already), and forcing you to use an <opinion>inferior</opinion> web editor.

There are two bits of good news: (1) turning on FrontPage extensions
*shouldn't* affect your current web site (assuming you are not moving from
one platform to another-- ie - Apache to IIS); and (2) you can configure
FrontPage to use DreamWeaver to edit everything --recommended, if you are
using ASP/PHP on your site, since FrontPage has a way of destroying custom
code. So all you will really use FP for is to connect to the web server and
upload your edited pages (if you don't have FTP or other access). For all
editing, you should be able to use DW as always.

IF you still have some other kind of access to the server (FTP, direct via
LAN), then let them install FP, and just keep doing business as usual--don't
even bother with FP.

Tell your IS Dept that Microsoft actually offers a far better web editor
than FrontPage: it's called "notepad."  }:->
