FrontPage - Managing Your Web Site

Once you have added lots of pages, images, and other content to your FrontPage Web, your FrontPage window will look something like 

 

Click the "Web Site" option along the top of the editing window to access reports for your site, including number and size of pages, images, and other files; links, including broken links or unlinked files; a list of "slow" pages (those with lots of graphics or other large files that will take more time for a browser to load; you may want to cut the number of large files or decrease their size); and a list of files not currently accessible from your index page.

Along the bottom of the page, you will have a toolbar with options for generating these reports:

When you click "Reports" in the "Views" column, you get something like the following summary of your site: 

Click on any of the options to bring up the full report, such as a list of slow pages or unlinked files or broken links. Or, you can look under "View" in the main menu to select from the list of "Reports" available to go from one report to another. 

 

 

 

 Another useful "Views" option is the list of "Hyperlinks." When you click the "Hyperlinks" option, you will see the page you are currently working on in the context of the entire web, indicating which files link to it and to which files it links. Click on another file (a web page, an image, or other file) to see which files link to it and which other files it links to. For example, the "images.html" page is linked to from the index.html page, the links.html page, and the common bottom border on all pages in this web. It in turn links to the "links.html" page and to "http://www.wesleyan.edu/libr," a page outside this website.  

 

The "Tasks" option allows you to keep a prioritized list of tasks you want to accomplish for your web site.  

Multiple Editors - If you are connecting directly to your Condor account with FrontPage, you can set security preferences to allow others access to your web so that a group of people can work on a web site. Under "Tools" on the main menu, select "Security" and then "Permissions." You can add a list of people (Wesleyan email user ID, and a random password of your choice; the co-authors whose Wesleyan user IDs you have listed will be allowed to access the site with their own email user ID and password) who are allowed to access your web site to browse, author pages, or administer the site. You can also restrict the IP range of computers from which these additional authors can access your site (the default is not to restrict the range).
