FrontPage is Dead!

A Reasonably Priced Replacement is Needed

Amoung scouters, I have found that many have been using Microsoft Front Page to develop their unit sits. Microsoft announced earlier this year, that they will stop supporting MS FrontPage software. Frontpage has been long critized by professional website developers for bloted code and add-ins that were only available through Frontpage extensions. Microsoft seems to have started over in the development of a product that will compete well with Adobe's Dreamweaver.
Many Website servers for Linux have already started dropping the support for Frontpage extensions. That means the MS navigation, counter and other special features will stop working. You need to remove that code from your scouting website as rapidly as possible.
Amazon is reporting the upgade price of $99.95 to Microsoft Expression Web Designer 1.0. You can download the Beta. Visit Microsofts' Expressions Products page and give it a test drive.

-Happy Scouting
