Frontpage 2000 Question
 

Can anyone help me here? I am just trying to stick a single page on the web with a photo and some text. I have used Frontpage to make the page, it has a title, a scrolling marque, a picture and then a little text underneath.
I can upload it with smart ftp but when I view it its all there except the picture, all you see is the little red x in the box.
The pic itself is quite small (approx 35k) I've tried it as a jpeg and a gif but without sucess.
Am I doing something wrong?

You have to upload the photo too. It's not IN the page, just linked to by an <IMG> tag.

So whats the best way to do it?
Create new page? or web?
Make the page up as in Word
save as?
then upload all the files?
Sorry for the silly questions.

Just use ftp to upload the image (photo) exactly the same way, into the same directory, as the page.

Why not use the built-in publish function of FP - it does all the upload of linked files/images/pages automatically

I couldn't use the built in publisher part as the URL I was uploading to apparently 'wasn't compatable with fornt page extensions' or something like that.
I managed to sort it anyway, I wasnt putting the objects on the the index.html page. Now it works fine.
Does anyone here use it regularly? what do you think of it?
any tips warnings etc?
It looks pretty powerful and I'd like to know more about it but I hate reading the readmes!
Thanks for your help guys

Does anyone here use it regularly?

No, but I regularly have to debug/clean up what it produces :(

what do you think of it?

Best left unsaid, I think.

any tips warnings etc?

Learn HTML. Not rocket science by any stretch. Take you a day or so ;)

FP is OK for those who just want a quick homepage. If you're going to be doing any serious site work you will end up with fat, inefficient code and unnecessarily large pages. And if you intend to do any server-side scripting, FP will more often than not scr*w it up for you. YMMV of course.
