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.

The Web sites listed below come from the thousands of submissions we've
received to our request for "killer Web sites." Here we highlight sites
that may provide you with new ideas, inspiration, and examples for your own
Web sites. Thanks to those of you who have submitted sites. We will
continue to highlight more of them in upcoming issues.
**THE TIPLESS BUCKET
Are you constantly tipping over your minnow bucket and wishing there were a
better solution? Well, an industrious fisherman from the Midwest has
solved the problem and is using his FrontPage-based Web site to promote the
next generation minnow bucket. See how a simple idea combined with a
FrontPage-based Web site can get you started on your own Web-based business

a company with over $100 million (US) in annual revenues, and it has chosen
to use FrontPage to create and manage its corporate Web site. This site is
also a good example of what a professional Web designer can expect to do
with FrontPage. Check out this corporate FrontPage-based Web site at:

**ASK THE HEADHUNTER
Rated higher by the Wall Street Journal than its own career services site,
AskTheHeadHunter provides a fantastic resource for information about
job-hunting in "America's Employment System ... in which almost everything
you know about job hunting and hiring is wrong." Get job-hunting advice
from the FrontPage-based Web at:

FRONTPAGE TIPS AND TRICKS
=====================================================
OPTIMIZING GRAPHICS FOR WEB SITES
A picture might be worth a thousand words, but is it worth 10 seconds of
download time? Ask yourself this question before adding a picture to your
Microsoft FrontPage-based web. Find out more at:
http://officeupdate.microsoft.com/2000/articles/fpoptgfx.htm
USING COLOR WEB SITES WITH FRONTPAGE 98 AND FRONTPAGE 2000
Everyone sees colors differently, particularly when they are looking at a
computer monitor. When you create your FrontPage-based web, keep in mind
the factors that influence how people see color: the settings they have
chosen for their computer display, the number of colors you have chosen for
your Web site, and the ways in which you employ color. Find out more at:
http://officeupdate.microsoft.com/2000/articles/fpclrweb.htm
ZDJOURNALS TIP: ADDING A SUBJECT TO YOUR MAILTO LINKS
When you create an e-mail link, people can easily send you an e-mail
message from a Web page. To make the process even easier, you can pre-fill
the message's subject field. To do so, open the Create E-mail Hyperlink
dialog box. Type your e-mail address as you ordinarily would, but add the
following text to the end of the address: ?Subject=Web Site Feedback
(substituting your desired subject for Web Site Feedback). Now, when a user
clicks your mailto link, the resulting e-mail will include your pre-filled
subject.
You can also pre-fill other fields in the message by substituting Body, CC,
or BCC for Subject. However, you can only pre-fill one field per message.
To pre-fill multiple fields, you'll need to use a form instead.
