    Class and eBook

    This lessons in this eBook work best when using Expression Web versions 1 or 2. EW 3 does not currently allow you to customize toolbars or create your own.  We are hoping this feature will be available on the next version. EW 1 or 2 is a much better choice for the actual migration.

    Have you ever wondered how to fix all those web bot errors? Do you want your site to do better in the search engines? Would you like to start using Expression Web or begin to use it so it helps not hinders your learning curve? Then this Migrating from FrontPage to Expression Web Class is for you. The eBook is included as part of the class OR you may purchase the eBook separately.

    I felt a 5 year anniversary needed more than just posting about it here. My website hadn’t been redone in the same amount of time (except maybe for some bells ‘n whistles) and I had already thought I might give this new-fangled Microsoft Expression Web (EW) a whirl. Luckily I bumped into a course which seemed tailored at what I was about to do: Migrating from FrontPage to Expression Web I subscribed, followed the course and here is the result: www.jkp-ads.com Kudos to Tina Clarke and Patricia Geary (both Frontpage MVP’s) who were the course writers and -instructors. Excellent job. ~ Jan Karel Pieterse ~

    REGISTER: Migrating from FrontPage to Expression Web Class and eBook

    Authors: Tina Clarke and Pat Geary

    Prerequisites for the class include:

    • Install Expression Web 1.0 or 2.0 or 3.0 (full version) OR you can download a trial copy of EW 3.0. which lasts 60 days (this the length of the trial at the time of writing). Note:  You can make a customized toolbar with EW 1.0 and 2.0 and SharePoint Designer 2007 (which is free). You CANNOT - at the present time - make a customized toolbar with Expression Web 3.0. This does not stop you using those features within Expression Web 3.0, it just makes slower going.
    • Install Firefox with the Html Validator extension that adds HTML validation inside Firefox. The number of errors of a HTML page is seen on the form of an icon in the status bar when browsing.
    • Install Total Validator Basic Desktop Tool which can be run from your desktop.
    • You will need a website made with FrontPage (any version) which must reside on your hard drive.
    • Read and implement either EW 1.0 or EW 2.0 or 3.0 Setting up Ebooks. The eBooks by Tina Clarke, are a FREE download.
    • Backed up your Website TWICE. One will be used as your working site one as a safety net. If you wish a experimental web, where whatever you do does not matter, make a third copy.
    • Choose your template from the choices provided below.

    Prior Experience:

    • You will need a website made with FrontPage (any version) with a local copy on your hard drive to use in the class
    • You should have read and implemented either EW 1.0 or EW 2.0 or 3.0 Setting up Expression Web EBooks

    We have found that it would benefit many class members to have watched Cheryl Wise's four part Video series on Getting Started with a Basic Website, therefore we would strongly encourage you to watch it BEFORE class starts.
