One way to create web pages from scratch without using HTML is to use an editor that hides the HTML from you, letting you edit a web page as easily as you would use a word processor. These programs are called WYSIWYG (What You See is What You Get) editors.

Microsoft’s FrontPage is one of the most popular WYSIWYG editors, mainly because it comes as part of Microsoft Office, which lots of people buy just to get Word and Excel. FrontPage is, therefore, seen as a cheap and easy solution, and the fact that it works very similarly to the other Microsoft Office programs is a plus as well.

Using FrontPage

FrontPage is very easy to get started with: you can either create a single page, or a whole ‘web’ (FrontPage’s word for a set of inter-connected pages). You can use the buttons on the toolbar to do simple things like set your text’s font, make text bold and italic, make links and insert graphics.

Going up to the menus will give you access to a few more complicated functions, such as table creation. Part of the reason FrontPage is so popular is that it has all sorts of little scripts ready to insert into your page, including hit counters and animations.

FrontPage Extensions

FrontPage is quite unique in that many web hosts have special ‘FrontPage Extensions’ installed, that allow to upload your site easily from FrontPage to your host. In most cases, though, you’ll be better off just saving the files using FTP. You will also need to have the Extensions installed on your server if you want the forms FrontPage produces to work, or if you want to be able to add its search function to your site.

Really, the Extensions are nothing more than a good reason not to use FrontPage to design any dynamic elements of your site - it will cause you no end of trouble. FrontPage is only really any good when it comes to designing static pages.

FrontPage TEMPLATES

One of FrontPage’s strong points, however, is that it has an easy-to-use templating system. This means that you can download TEMPLATES and easily use them to create new pages in FrontPage. It will create a navigation system for you as you go, using information from the template. This can be a quick and easy way to get started on your website, although you’ll often need to be careful to avoid doing anything that causes the carefully worked-out layout of the template to break.

Problems with FrontPage

FrontPage’s biggest problem is that it produces wildly non-standard ‘Microsoft HTML’. This HTML is bad enough to be completely un-editable by anyone who isn’t also using FrontPage, and has a tendency to display wrongly in any browser apart from Internet Explorer. Even the default template you see before you’ve typed a word in FrontPage isn’t valid HTML!

Worse, because e of the amount of repetition FrontPage introduces into your pages, they can often be much larger than they need to be and so take much longer for your visitors to download than they should. It’s bad enough that many sites offer programs designed specifically to do nothing but clean up FrontPage’s terrible code.

Part of the reason there’s quite a stigma attached to FrontPage amongst web users is that it tends to produce pages that are extremely amateurish. Some FrontPage sites can even crash web browsers, because their authors decided to use FrontPage’s various animated navigation elements - FrontPage is all too happy to quickly add in so much Javascript and Java that a website becomes unmanageable. Page transitions are particularly bad.

Overall, trying to create and manage a website with FrontPage can be a big headache - it’s all too easy to hit one of FrontPage’s bugs and mess something up, or load it with too many proprietary features to the point where it’s pretty much unusable to anyone. Worse, if you open a half-finished web page in FrontPage, its code will be messed up beyond repair.

A short time ago it was announced that Microsoft are withdrawing FrontPage from their product range this year. While I’m not a great fan of this particular piece of software, a lot of people are and there are a lot of FrontPage built websites in existence.

There are some concerns being voiced by web hosts about the future of existing FrontPage websites and, in particular, those using FrontPage extensions. These extensions are what power the “bells and whistles” inherent in the software that made it worth using. The extensions provide such dynamic addons as:

* Forms processing * Themes * Search form * Bulletin board * Security * Hit counter * SubWebs * Database features

The concern is that Microsoft are withdrawing support for the software itself and for the extensions. If you have a website built with Frontpage then the server on which the website is hosted will need to support extensions. At worst, once Microsoft have withdrawn, hosts will remove from their servers the extension support and the website will no longer function as designed. At best, the hosts will leave things as they are until the first bug / security threat unviels itself and then be forced to withdraw.

The replacement product has now been renamed Expression and is a completely new product and therefore is not compatible with FrontPage, therefore FrontPage extensions are dead. Expression has only been released in beta format so there is, as yet, no official release and the future looks bleak for any FrontPage websites.

The sole aim of this article is to take you from total newbie to being able to upload files to your web HOSTING account in the next five minutes.

Now of course there is plenty more to learn than is covered in this article but the basic skills you’ll learn will enable you to upload files quickly and easily and have a functioning website in a matter of minutes.

So let’s get your website online…

1) Get Some FTP Software

To upload files from your home computer to your web HOSTING account so everyone else can see them by visiting your website you’ll need some FTP software. FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol and is simply the name of this uploading process.

Some web HOSTING control panels come with FTP software built in so check this first of all as you may not have to download any new software.

Otherwise there are numerous pieces of free or low cost FTP software available which are all very simple to use.

A few options are:

http://www.cuteftp.com http://www.smartftp.com http://www.ipswitch.com

In my opinion all these pieces of sftware are very similar so just opt for the one you find easiest to use.

I personally use SmartFTP and have done for some years with great success.

Download and install the software on your home computer then we’re ready to get uploading your files.

2) Enter Your Web HOSTING Details

Open up the software and enter the location, username and password for FTP access which you will either find in the welcome email your web host sent you when you opened your account or in your web host’s control panel.

Typically you enter these details at the top of the FTP software when you open it up and the software will then save those details for future reference so you only need enter them once.

Once you’ve entered those details into your FTP software, click the connect button, and wait to see that it manages to establish a connection to your server.

It should do so within a few seconds but if not go back and double-check you have entered the correct FTP details. Your FTP details may be different to the details of how to log into your control panel etc. so you may have several password/username sets and it’s not unusual for new users to enter the wrong set of details.

3) Change Upload Parameters

If your FTP software has a “passive” mode, turn it off.

Then find the section where you choose whether to upload files in ASCII or binary format, and select the “auto” or “automatic” function so you don’t need to worry about learning which file types should be uploaded in which format.

4) Upload Your Files

You’re all ready to go now.

Select the files from your home computer that you want to upload to your HOSTING account, and select to upload them now.

You can select to upload them one at a time, or select a whole host of files by holding down your ’shift’ or ‘control’ key and highlighting a number of different web page files.

You should see a progress report from your FTP software as it uploads each file, one at a time.

Furthermore, as they load fully onto your web HOSTING account you should see them appear on the right-hand side of the software, together with their file size.

Pay attention to any file showing a zero file size, as this was likely corrupted in the upload process and you will need to upload another copy to be certain it is working correctly.

5) Final Check

Lastly visit your website with your internet browser (such as Internet Explorer) and check to make sure all your files are there as they should be.

Incase of any problems, just follow the procedure again incase your files got corrupted in the upload process (which does occasionally happen).

6) Job Done!

Well done, now you know the basics of how to use FTP software to upload web page files from your home computer to your web HOSTING account!
