professional html

[Gene Stickley]

Have considerable experience using FrontPage 2002. I now
want to have a professional web designer put togethe a
better site. Can I simply take the pro's code and past
it into FrontPage.

I am now studying html but may never be highly
proficient. I want to maintain my site using FrontPage
but working from the outside programmers work and adding
new Enlish text or adding html, such as meta tags, when I
need it and where I know what I am doing.

Is this plan practical?

Hi Gene,

Not only practical, but educational as well. When I first used FrontPage
(ver 1.1), I used it to teach myself HTML. By creating HTML in the design
view, and then going to the HTML Source View, I picked up the syntax
eventually. In addition, if this fellow is any good, you may learn some
great tricks from it.

Sounds like a good idea, especially with FP2002. Very early versions of FP
had a tendency to corrupt HTML code so you would have seriously messed up
the professional pages if you had tried to edit them with FP. Even as late
as FP98 there were issues with code being hosed, but FP2000 and beyond does
an excellent job of leaving the HTML intact.

I think you'll find the "Split" view very useful for learning HTML.

Quick correction: Split view is only available in FrontPage 2003, so don't
go looking for it in 2002
