PERFORMANCE IN FRONTPAGE
When you maintain a copy of your FrontPage web locally on
your PC and then publish updates to the host server, you
help reduce the strain placed on the FrontPage Servers.
With FrontPage it is possible to open your website live
over the Internet, make changes and save them real time.
However, this places a demand for resources on the server,
and in general decreases the response time to access all
other webs on the server you're making your updates on.
Working locally it is much quicker to create and see
changes locally then across the net. Also, it is a waste of
your own bandwidth - every change you make creates
bandwidth, every time you refresh the page in your browser,
you use bandwidth and that can end up costing you.
For the benefit of others on the server please try to
perform all of your updates with the FrontPage Publish
command.

SLOW CONNECTIONS AND FRONTPAGE
When working on a slow connection and creating galleries
with (auto thumbnails) thumbnails with enlarged pictures on
a separate page. (That's not just linking the thumbnail to
the full size image in the images folder, but a real
separate page.) If you have both the thumbnail gallery and
full size pages open simultaneously, saving the full size
image first won't have FrontPage want to save it a second
time by overwriting when then saving the page where you've
auto thumbnailed. This is a workable solution when
connecting a laptop to a cell phone when traveling.

COPYRIGHT AND FRONTPAGE
-Updating your copyright dates for the new year with
FrontPage - a 'Must Do' for those of us who have not yet.
(yes yes we know we have not done ours yet, but there is a
good reason for that:)
For those who have copyright meta tags. (e.g. <meta
name="copyright" content="Copyright © 1999 - 2002, Jane Doe.
All rights reserved">) The quickest and easiest way to
update them is to use the Free FrontPage Add-on TP_ErrOmi
from
http://solution-shelf.com. You enter the info you want
and test your web. ErrOmi will tell you all the pages
needing change (which is all of course)
NOTE: Unless you have excluded the page, it will update
any of your customized templates for new pages too.
If you also have the copyright on the page in normal
view, use Find and Replace to change this throughout your
web.
(Please use this feature with care or you find yourself
having to make even more changes)
How to Find and replace text.
On the Edit menu, click Replace. Click All pages. In the
Find what box, type the text you want to search for. - This
will be the old copyright dates. In the Replace with box,
type the replacement text. - This will be in the new
copyright dates. Click Find in Web. When FrontPage lists the
pages in which the text was found, do one of the following:
To open a page in Page view, double-click the page in the
list. The first instance of the text is highlighted.
You can click Replace to replace this occurrence, click
Find Next to find the next occurrence, or click Replace All
to replace all occurrences in the current page.
When you have reviewed all occurrences of the text in the
page, you are prompted to close the current document before
continuing to the next one.
NOTE: If changes were made, your page is
automatically saved.
For your next revamp, think about using either an include
page ( For how to accomplish this see:)
http://accessfp.net/frontpageincludedcontent.htm that
might include other static information (for most of the
year), like your email address and links to disclaimers and
Privacy Polices, or the substitution feature which will
update a small amount of information.
How to use the Substitute Component.
In Page view, on the Tools menu, click Web Settings, and
then click the Parameters tab. Click Add. In the Name box,
type a name for the variable. This is what you will call the
variable.
In the Value box, type a value for the variable. This is
what will be displayed on the page.
Click OK. Position the insertion point in a page where
you want to display the variable. On the Insert menu, click
Web Component. In the left pane, click Included Content, and
in the right pane, double-click Substitution. In the
Substitute with box, click a variable from the list.
