Today's blog post will be the first in a series of blog posts that I intend to write about my experiences with putting together a Windows Server 2008 machine without using the FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE) for any web publishing. The main goal of this series is to describe some of the highlights and pitfalls that I have run into while transitioning away from FPSE. Over the years I've seen the users of FPSE broken down into two groups: those that love FPSE and those that hate FPSE. So before...( read more ) Read More...

As most people that have installed IIS 7 on Windows Vista or Windows codenamed "Longhorn" have realized, there are no options to install the FrontPage Server Extensions, leaving the only possibly way to edit your web site that is hosted on a Vista/Longhorn computer is to edit the web site locally using the file system, or to use FTP to upload your files to a remote Vista/Longhorn computer. The FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE) 2002 are part of the Office XP system of products. The Office XP system,...( read more ) Read More...
As the old adage says, " Necessity is the mother of invention ". With that in mind, I had a friend drop by my office the other day and ask me a question that started me on another quest for code. What he asked me was whether there was a way where he could create an off-line backup of his web site. Of course, there are whole sections of the industry these days that are devoted to such things, but he wanted a simple way to create a backup on his home or work computer of his web site that is hosted...( read more ) Read More...
