Frontpage woes.

A little research has turned up this tidbit:

The biggest problem your going to have is if your already using FrontPage then that means you also have FrontPage Extensions installed on your web server (whether your aware of that or not) in order for FrontPage to actually work. If you try to upload or alter the HTML files or anything else on your web server with anything but FrontPage your going to break your FrontPage extensions and they will have to be reinstalled again on the web server in order to work again. Much of the content and security in the pages FrontPage creates for your web site depends on these extensions to be installed and working on the web server in order to actually work when your visitors come to your web site.

Microsoft has stopped supporting FrontPage entirely so you can't even get updates or anything else for it anymore, certainly making it a good time for you to break away from it and seek out alternatives. Their new Expressions Web is a real mess, better than FrontPage, but still a real mess none the less, it also requires ASP.NET in order to work on your web server, though I hear rumors a PHP version is in the works to be released soon.
