    UGH! I'm so upset!!!

    Does anyone know of a software that's similar to FP? I tried Dreamweaver [free 30 day DL], and it seems so complicated... I'm not good @ code... I like the WYSIWYG programs..

    They are coming out with another one, [forgot the name], and they said that it wont have shared borders or similar things that FP has...

    I LOVED FRONTPAGE!!!! :( I'm so mad!

    Can somone help me???

    The consumer, average user version will be "Expression Web Designer" and the business model will be "Sharepoint Designer". Something that anyone that has FP based webs need to check with your hosting company. The Unix based FP extensions have been discontinued already and the Windows based ones are scheduled to be removed (depends upon host) January 2007.

    Not a good thing when you utilize form handling within a web. I've got to revisit many of the websites I've designed and inform my customers what changes will have to be implemented. Looks like more CGI, php and script stuff will have to be tackled.

    If you loved Front Page why are you leaving it? I am sticking to it, yeah I know that it is a program for weenies, and I have been told to go look at other peoples pages using software that is "so much better", usually I am thoroughly unimpressed.

    I think she was under the impression that it would no longer work to design website. The only thing is there are certain things within FP, you cannot use on a website that removes the FP extensions.

    Dreamweaver works great for me.
