Anyone use MS FrontPage for their sites?

[CatchingUp]

If so...I'd love to see them. I've been using it for past several years and would like to see what others do with it.

Thanks
:-)

I didn't know people still used that or that it was even available. It was discontinued in 2003. You might want to look at a different product. ;)

I agree, I haven't seen FrontPage in years. DreamWeaver is the way to go, generally, but for less advanced users I'm sure that are some other options. WordPress might be a great solution, actually, because it basically sets itself up and all you have to do is choose an appearance.

I either work in UE32 if doing PHP or VS2008 if doing ASP.NET MVC. No point and click drag and drop stuff for me. ;)

lol....actually, I've grown quite comfortable with FrontPage...has worked ideal for me. I was just curious if anyone out there might also be using it.

I built mine with MS Expression Web which is the progression from FrontPage. I did the main page in MS, and used JAlbum for the galleries. I haven't had the time to learn Dreamweaver (it's on my list) so I like how easy I can throw up a site in MS. Fortunately, I know enough about HTML and Javascript to tweak things that I don't like from MS.

I'm far from a professional (as the website name will show) and I just use the site to gain experience and critiques.

Nvu is decent... and free.

NVU is a great for a free app.

You might be comfortable with it, but I would strongly suggest moving away from it to another solution (there are free ones) as soon as you can. I worked for a webhosting company for four years and one of the biggest headaches we dealt with was Frontpage. It requires special server-side setup to get it to work, it's very insecure (i.e., easy to hack) it stops working often and it can be difficult to get it working again without wiping everything out and starting from scartch. Because of this (and the fact that MS no longer supports it), the few webhosts who do still support it are going to drop it sooner or later.

OLD technology, whether you're comfortable with it or not, is old and will be dropped. A lot of people like DreamWeaver, but I personally hate it. I code everything from scratch though so maybe that's why :D

Me too. I quit using FP2000 years ago because of all of the bugs. I decided to learn HTML/CSS and use 'Notepad++' now. :)

Just to chime in - ditch FrontPage. It was never a good solution and it most especially isn't anymore.

I'd suggest using a Content Management System for your site.

interesting responses on FP.

When I waded in to these unchartered waters of creating a web site, I was as clueless as they come. I don't really use my site to 'promote a photo business', rather, it really is an online gallery that I do for the community/school with an assortment of pages from local events to school events, etc. I even blog some about random stuff.

I've never had a glitch with it and it's suited my needs. I think the only reason I started this thread was to see what others might have been doing with their FP sites. That's not to say that I'm not open to trying something different in the near future...I guess it's not knowing what else I might need that keeps me where I am...content. :-)

But I do appreciate the feedback and responses here.

try freecsstemplates or something and use dreamweaver...
or if you want something even easier..try wix.com (free)

Tony, if you validate your site (http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tonycorsoimages.com%2F), you'll see it has 137 errors, just on the home page. Many of those are due to using the wrong doctype and combining old code with new code. Why would you care? Well more and more new browsers are requiring valid code, and old browsers are going away. You've got a tool that's generating code, but very poorly. Even though this is not a business site, at some point in time you'll likely decide it would be nice if the site worked on all browsers, and that the tool you use might be able to help you create modern code to do it.

I would recommend a change...

If you dont want to be a html code jockey take a look at Webplus X4 by serif, its a wysiwyg editor that also has built in flash & java templates for gallery creation, (you can html code if you like as well).
I dont sell it, just use it...;)
