    Frontpage server

    I have a large business web site created with frontpage  during the last eight years.  I have a root domain with many sub webs. I  want to  start using Expressions  Web . My question is, can I create a similar type sub web in expressions, publish it to my domain where my other frontpage subwebs are and have it peacefully co-exist with it? There would be links to this from my existing site.

     You can use it in the same way .... just not make any new bots...

    Re: Frontpage server

     You subwebs will be recognized by Expression Web and will be treated just like a subweb in FrontPage.

    Expression was designed not to break any FrontPage bots or featuers. However, you can't add new bots in Expression (well not natively except for includes in version 2) although with some bots you can create a code snippet to add the webbot code in code view or the code seciton of spli view. After which you can access the bot in design view to set its properties. Some bots like the navigation bots cannot be edited in Expression Web at all. So you would want to work on replacing them.

    Re: Frontpage server

     Thank you both for responding to my questions. I searched the code in my 18 frontpage sites and I didn't use any of what I assume are 'bots': hit counter, forms, nav links. I do not plan to convert my existing sites to EW immediatley but rather plan to take course and learn to build new sites with EW. To be clear, it sounds like I can retain my frontpage sites on server with extensions turned on at example:
    www.mydomain.com/frontpagesite1/
    www.mydomain.com/frontpagesite2/    and then bulid and add expression sites to same root as in example below?

    www.mydomain.com/expressionswidgetsite1/
    www.mydomain.com/expressionsgizmosite2/      and these can be linked to and from each other and the frontpage sites.
                                                                                  FP will continue to function properly as it has in the past and the new EW sites will function on this same server 

    cdwise:  I need to order EW software and want to take your next online course to learn it.  Do offer any fee based personal consulting on EW since I seem to have more questions than answers? At some point in time during this transition I know I would like to be able to talk directly to someone by phone to make sure I'm doing everything right. Thank you again for maintaing this great forum. Marc G
