[dba-Tech] Website Structure Question

[Jim Lawrence]

Let's be honest...anything is a great replacement for FF. Adobe Muse is great.

2003 was the last year for FrontPage. I have one client using it yet and I
think that eventually it will be hard to find a host willing to support
FrontPage extensions on the web server.

I've found that Adobe Muse is a great replacement for FrontPage.

The Tina system should take precedence. :-)

There are a dozen editors that are better than FrontPage...I don't even
think they make FP any more.(?). If we live long enough, there is always
code out there that should be fixed or deleted as it can be embarrassing.

Thanks, Jim and Rocky,

I think I have some of it figured out.  A couple of months ago, my provider
changed servers.  The new root directory for the website was named httpdocs,
and everything got copied into that new directory, including a copy of
httpdocs and its contents.  I've done a little cleaning up and things are
looking much tidier.  I will be watching to see if redundancy creeps in
again.  I remember that there was quite a bit of built-in redundancy in
sites built with Microsoft FrontPage, so, I was sort of trained to expect
it, but, this was way too much. Part of the difficulty stemmed from the fact
that VSD wanted to use a certain naming structure and Tina wanted to use
another.  Both got used, then multiplied by the new root directory for the
website files.  Whew!

Best,
TNF
