Frontpage Replacement

Gavin Scott · Thu 11 Sep, 2008 22.17

I know frontpage is a bit rubbish, but it allowed me to upload rubbish to my telewest personal webpage easily.

It doesn't come with Office 2007, and i'm a bit stuck on how to get onto my pages and edit them.

Instruct me.

If you did an upgrade from Office 2000 or 2003 to 2007, then it should have left your old FrontPage behind, untouched.

Otherwise, I think you can go back to the 2000 or 2003 disc(s) and do a specific install of just FrontPage.

I have the disc in the office. I'll do that.

Ach, shite.

I forgot to bring the disc, and I wanted to upload a 4mb flv clip of acorn antiques to adorn the Coronation Street thread with.

Gorilla doesn't like it, and neither does TomServo's facility.

Little help?

Download this

use this ftp.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk as your server name and your normal telewest id/password as the other bits. should be pretty self explanatory from then on.

Expression Web is the replacement for Frontpage, and it's really good.

Wrong.

I acquired the whole Expression package a few months ago, but it seems very over complicated. I've been coding in Notepad for 10 years so I don't really need a WYSIWYG editor anyway. (*Smug*)

If your name was either God or Nick Harvey, you probably wouldn't as a statement rather than getting handcramp from writing out CSS markup.

Knowing how to code by hand is good but the days of the fully-hand-coded-in-a-text-editor website which looks like it was from the mid to latter part of the last decade are dead unless you have a masochistic streak.

In that case I put it to you that you have been coding the same web site in Notepad for ten years, given how long it takes to do it all by hand rather than using something to automate part of what is really a repetitive process.

However, you like The Lion King, so you're clearly not completely insane...
