FrontPage Tutorials

The tutorials listed in this section are free, web-based education in using the website management tool FrontPage.  The purpose of listing them here is to provide the Chapter Webmaster with a source to find quick, online FrontPage education. 

1)  FrontPage 2000 Tutorial -- Florida Gulf Coast University

2)  Tutorial on Creating Web Pages with FrontPage Editor

3)  FrontPage in the Classroom

4)  Intranet Journal -- A FrontPage Tutorial

5)  FrontPage Tutorials

None of these tutorials are recommended by ARMA or The Mid-Atlantic Region.  They are placed here in an effort to give the Chapter Webmaster a path to resources that will help get their site designed and implemented.

Questions about these tutorials should be directed to the authors or their individual organizations.  Please pay attention to copyrights and directions for content use on each site.

Using FTP for Site Updates

Those chapters that use FrontPage to maintain their web sites depend on the FrontPage "Extensions" to support the "publishing" process.  This provides them with a user friendly means of transferring a copy of their site from their local workstation to the correct storage area (for their chapter) on the region's web server.  During the publishing process FrontPage does  most of the work by keeping track of the hyperlinks within the chapter's web.  It transfers all of the updated pages and other components intact.  FrontPage also ONLY publishes those files that do not already exist OR are newer than any similarly named files on the web server.

Those Chapter Web Administrators who use alternate design tools (like DreamWeaver) can also use the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to maintain their sites in the following manner:

  1. If your alternate design tool does not directly support FTP, acquire an FTP software product like WS_FTP or cuteFTP .  Please note that the reference to these two FTP products does not mean the ARMA or Mid-Atlantic Region recommend them.
     

  2. Configure your FTP software to use the Host name:  ftp.atfreeweb.com
     

  3. Login with the User ID and Password issued to you by the Region Webmaster or your Region Coordinator.  Remember your passwords are case sensitive.
     

  4. Set your Initial Remote Directory to aadmin3\chapter web name\   "Chapter web name" must correspond to the abbreviation for your chapter on the region web server.  Some examples are:

    aadmin3\nova\
    aadmin3\tri\
    aadmin3\ch\
     

  5. Start your FTP software and update you chapter web site!
