[dba-Tech] Microsoft Expression Web Free Trial

My experience exactly!

The reason I needed FP extensions was only because of the selection I made
for the publishing method (FrontPage or Sharepoint Services).  

Expression has the same selections for the publishing method.  The book I
bought for Expression strongly recommends using the same method if FP
Extensions are available.

Hi Dan,
Hmmm, sounds fishy - even with FP 2003 you're not supposed to need FP
extensions unless you use an old FP component(s). I've been having problems
with FP 2003 uploads lately (ever since my host moved my sites to upgraded
servers) so maybe its something else completely. Some days I can just click
"Publish..." and some days I have to send the updated files one by one and
when done click publish to see if missed any. <grrr>

I knew that FP has seen the end of it's days, so a while back I bought a
copy of Expression Web.  

But about a month ago, I started having trouble uploading files to my host.
I couldn't make it work - kept getting an error message about 'can't parse'.
All the info I could find about this error said that I needed to install FP
extensions.  Host said that did that, but still no luck.  Then host said
they recommended not using FP, and since I already had Expression Web, I
went ahead and did that.

Now when I upload things do work.  I don't really believe that the folks at
my web host really know why I couldn't upload before, but I could upgrade so
I did, and it did work out.
