Saving Web Pages

[bluedolphin]

Hi Members,

I hate to admit this, but I haven't used my Front Page 2003 in a long time,
and forgot to add my old web pages and also how to save them. I started
Front Page, and then went immediately and tried to open my saved web pages on
my hard drive. The name of the website on my hardrive is called Resume,
and has 4 or 5 pages to it, like About, Services, Clients, Gallery, etc.
How do I put my old website with pages into a new site, or mysite, and then
add the pages and save it with the name of the website. I do not know
whether to save as "web pages" or "html" or anything. I can't believe it.
Can you help me step by step. Also when open up my old website, and start
adding the old pages that are connected to it, the "tabs" on the top start
to grow as the pages are added, but then when I open the website up again,
the tabs are gone. How do I start the webpage do I open it initially as a
web page or recent site. I really forgot everything, and the program has me
totally confused now. Al I want to do I open my old web pages, add all the
pages , edit them a litle, and then save all the pages as the name of the
website. Can this be done. Thankyou, Ric

There are several ways to do this.

You can either start with your old site or a new site. For your old site,
open FrontPage and choose File, Open Site. Browse to C:\resume and click
ok. Now the web site is open in FrontPage and you can start working on it.
When you're ready you would choose File, Publish Site and put in the URL of
your web site, ex: http://www.mysite.com and click publish and all your
pages will be published to your web host.

To start fresh (new site) chose File, New, More Web Site Templates (from the
side bar) and pick Empty Web Site and the location you want it to be at. Ex:
C:\NewSite. FrontPage will create a new blank site at that location. Then
you can import your old pages (File, Import) into the site.

If you already HAVE a "live" web site on the internet then you can open that
site in FrontPage (File, Open Site, http://www.mywebsite.com - your domain
name) and then Publish the "live" site back to your hard drive so you can
add to it. File, Publish Site, C:\<Folder you want it in>

Thankyou for your kind help. It was very helpful. My other question is,
I tried to make a new site, but Frontpage keeps naming them, Mysite1,
Mysite2, Mysite3, supposed I want to give the site a different name,
why doesn't frontpage give me this option ? For example, if I wanted
to name my site "equaljob" how would I do it instead of "mysite" etc.
Can you walk me through the steps again, to give the site my own
name, in option 1, using an old website, and option 2, using a new website.
Also, when I use the "Save As" feature, am I renaming the "site" or is
it just "save as" one of the web pages ? How do I "save as" the
entire "website " with frontpage. Thanks, Ric

When it come up with the name just type in what you want to call it.

Save As is just renaming a page (like in Word or any other program). For
saving a whole site you would open the site and "publish" it to a new
location.
