Just
like a word processor FrontPage has simple menus, icons, and tools to create
a new page or site.
Site can be made in the disk or on a web
server like we mentioned in
local and going global page. save, opening file, all mimic word
processor application. what's mainly new in Frontpage is hyper linking, book
marking and navigation etc.. Some of the important features are discussed in
FrontPage features ..
There is no scope for explaining much of
FrontPage here since it can be a subject too big. Hence let us focus on the
generic aspects of site building. We will endeavor to add additional
information specifically regarding web building using FrontPage here in
future.
Inside FrontPage - What are the
menus etc..?
File menu for example has open,
open web, publish web, recent webs, etc amongst others. View menu has page,
reports, navigation, hyperlinks etc.. Insert menu has web component,
database, form amongst other items. Format menu has style sheets etc..
The above paragraph just meant to
give you an idea. Microsoft's advantage often is that they provide a tool
which is easy to use, simple, yet offer fairly extensive features. FrontPage
has improved ever since its debut. FrontPage has gone through many versions.
The current version is 2003.
Organise your data in folders and
develop a good site hierarchy from the beginning of site building.
Web page building is fairly easy with
FrontPage. Equally important is the file organization system and
hyper-linking hierarchy you must follow in compliance with the sites
structure right from the very beginning. If you are building a large web
site create smaller sections and sub webs so that managing the web becomes
easy later on.
For additional information on FrontPage
like documentation, tutorials, and tips and tricks we recommend that you go
to the FrontPage section of the Microsoft's giant website.
