Updating an old website
I have an "old" personal website that was built using MS Frontpage.
WANTED URGENTLY......ANY PARTS FOR A TYPE 9B MK 2 SEAT (JAGUAR) FOR RESTORATION IN MUSEUM DISPLAY....SEE WANTED SECTION FOR DETAILED PARTS REQUIREMENTS......
I would like to revamp and modernise the site but am not very technosavvy.
Can I "cut and paste" the whole site into a new programme and do it from there?
I like the WYSIWYG concept and would be keen to use this system.
I need galleries instead of standalone pictures
I do not like the CMS web system
Any advice?

Neither of the above would give you a particularly polished-looking site.
However, your current host offers several website building tools, so I suggest you talk to it or have a look around its website.
In HK you can get a rather smart looking website done for a couple of hundred quid. In your own locale do a web search for designers - you may be surprised how little it will cost to make a nice clean web site.

Agreed, but the problem with that is you end up with still being reliant
on someone else to update it.
If you have a basic web site that either uses a database or you can
update it yourself with links to say Photobucket, it makes it so much easier.
And a positive result of the above is that by keeping it "fresh",
it keeps it more interesting.

Can't help you with any of the programs to use but plenty out there.

Not necessarily mate - you can have a web site made so that you can alter the content through an interface not unlike a 'Word' lay out. We have that on ours - even I can make changes, add links etc.

Have you looked at KompoZer?
KompoZer - Easy web authoring
You may also need an FTP programme. If so try FireFTP - The Free FTP Client for Mozilla Firefox in conjunction with Firefox browser.
Both are very easy to use - I know, I can!
