Multiple Users of one website

[Linda]

I’m in a situation where I took over a website that was managed and
maintained poorly and, with zero knowledge and a lot of trial, error, and
reading, constructed a website that has been adequate until now. It’s
growing. The club is growing. The more I learn, the more I know I don’t
know much at all. There are no classes in this program other than the
basics. I’ve asked for intermediate to advanced levels but there is no-one
available or with that knowledge.

I’m in a small town without a bookstore. The nearest one is about 25 miles
away and they do have the FrontPage2003/by Buyens in stock. I’ll get there
sometime before xmas. And I hope it has the answers to that about which I’m
so frustrated.

I need to have one or two other people learn this program so that I can
eventually relinquish control. Those two are 100 and 400 miles away. My
assumption is that the whole of this website can be downloaded onto their
computers, and that with Front page programming also installed, they can each
learn and play on the existing familiar pages without publishing them.
However, that requires a download that shows everything working, hyperlinks
included.

The website is currently done from my work place. I’m a clerical employee
and do not deal with website or programming at all other than this “littleâ€
website on my own time. It’s on the workplace server, and from there,
published to it’s internet address. To download the website at home, I did
as Chuck Davis suggested… I opened the website in internet explorer, chose
“fileâ€, chose “edit with front pageâ€. Looks fine so far. But only the
“import†action was available. “publish†was not.

If I ever leave this work situation, the website will need to be downloaded
to someone’s computer, so this process is something I must understand. Am I
on the right track to do as I’m thinking with the other trainees? Is there a
better way? I envision the two of them sharing the maintenance somehow, and
I hope that’s in the book too.

Any comments? (Other than read, read, read.)

Linda

Does the internet site have FrontPage extensions? If so, open it in
directly in FrontPage:
Open FrontPage
File->Open Web (Open Site in FP2003)
Type in the internet URL http://domain.com

Logon (UserID and Password)
The web should open and Publish be available.

If there are no FP extensions you will need an FTP program to download the
site, but shared borders, included pages and some other components may not
download in a workable form. In this case it may be easier for you to zip
up your local copy of the web (from your workplace server) and distribute
the zipped copies.

See www.rxs-enterprises.com/cgi-bin/btifaqs.pl?file=1052388890 for some
ideas and detail.
