Other Advantages for Using FrontPage
* Server side includes are easy with FrontPage. Before we gon on, let me explaon what "server side includes" are.
Server side includes (SSI's) generate parts of Web pages dynamically on
"server side". The allow you to add customization features to your Web pages, such as e-mail form. Unlike other forms of dynamic content, or content that's created on
fly, server side includes have a normal URL that's easy for users to remember and doesn't create problems for
engines.
In other works, SSI's embed special commands into an HTML document that tells
server to perform specific actions when a user requests
page. The server then creates
Web page on
fly by merging files or inserting requested information.
How might you use SSI's on your Web page? Let's say you want ot add a form to your Web site for your users to complete to sign up for your newsletter. You could create
form using SSI's.
For more information on creating SSI's with FrontPage, visit: http://www.microsoft.com/frontpage/using/default.htm and click on FrontPage Server Extensions.
Dave Barry, who recently created two major sections of
Dell Web site using FrontPage, manages 40 to 50 Web sites at SmartCertify, and he easily moves back and forth between those sites using FTP. With that many sites, there is a lot of duplicity, and he can effortlessly share objects with FP or edit multiple Web sites. With FrontPage, ou can cut and paste between
sites, use shared borders, and easily drag and drop files, thus saving a lot of time versus handling each site separately.
If you've ever wanted to experiment with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), FrontPage also makes using them a breeze. You can even create DHTML using FrontPage.
Dave created a video on how to copy and paste, how to use Cascading Style Sheets, and how to use shared borders with Front Page:
