FRONTPAGE
GRAPHIC SOLUTIONS & MULTIMEDIA
The February 2001 issue
will be all about graphic solutions and multimedia using FrontPage to help give
your Web site real pizzazz!
NOTE: I receive my MS FP
Bulletin one month late, now I have found
the
http://microsoftfrontpage.com/ site, I
will be able to post the bulletins sooner.
However please note the bulletins one
receives via subscription at MS are not the
same format as the site bulletins and that
the msfp site also contains other
information. There is one other important
point to note and that is the archives at
microsoftfrontpage.com do not as far as back
as these, so if you want to look back this
is the place to do it! You can also obtain
the bulletins as
FREE E-books with your membership
of AnyFrontPage Bytes.

USING
FRONTPAGE ON A SERVER WITHOUT SERVER EXTENSIONS
Sometimes a
FrontPage user wishes to develop a Web site without FrontPage Server Extensions.
This article shows you how to restrict specific features that require FrontPage
Server Extensions by using the "Compatibility" feature in FrontPage.

CHOOSE
THE RIGHT HOSTING COMPANY FOR YOUR WEB SITE
How important is
it to you that your site is up and running 24x7 or that your e-commerce needs
are met from point of purchase through shipping? Web Presence Providers vary in
their levels of service, offerings, and costs. This article can help to
demystify the process of choosing the right home for your FrontPage-based Web
site:

HOW
A HOSTING COMPANY BECOMES A WPP
A Web Presence
Provider (WPP) for Microsoft FrontPage is an Internet Service Provider (ISP)
that has passed testing on their configuration of the FrontPage Server
Extensions. Becoming a registered WPP is an excellent way to expand your Web
site hosting services and customer base. To find out how your company can become
a WPP, go to:

SELECTIVE
PUBLISHING OF YOUR FRONTPAGE-BASED WEB SITE
There are many
ways to publish Web pages, but FrontPage automates the process for you. It also
helps you to publish only what you want and to leave the rest behind on your
local computer.
First, before publishing your site ask your Web site hosting company if they
support the FrontPage Server Extensions*. Then follow these easy steps:
Make sure that your forms and links work properly on your own computer.
To mark the files you DO NOT want to publish:
1. On the View menu, click Reports, then select Publish Status.
2. Right-click the filename, then choose Properties.
3. Click the Properties tab, then select the Exclude This File When Publishing
the Rest of the Web checkbox. (Make sure that this box is cleared for the files
that you do want to publish.)
Then, to continue publishing, click Publish Web on the File menu, then choose
Options. Select the options that apply to you.
Finally, enter the URL of your Web site (such as http://www.mydomainname.com)
and then click Publish. FrontPage does the rest!
*If they do not support the FrontPage Server Extensions, you can select a Web
hosting company from the list of registered Web Presence Providers for FrontPage
