    I have the last version of Frontpage. Would Expression Web import my website, including with all the Frontpage extentions?

    No need to import at all. Simply open the site in Expression Web. It will support all of your FP and FPSE-required features in the site. However, there is a very limited subset of features that you will be able to create anew or edit existing. Shared borders and so forth are history, the Navigation View is gone, etc. But, you will be able to open your FP pages in EW and edit all of the non-FP-specific content, and even edit a few of the features that FP provided that are still supported in EW.

    Before you begin, google "moving from frontpage" and "migrating from frontpage" to learn about some of the things you will need to do differently. Also, Tina Clarke and Pat Geary have written an e-Book (not free, but reasonable, and currently on sale) specifically on migrating from FP to Expression Web. It's available here http://www.frontpage-to-expression.com/, and you might want to grab it now, because I think
    I saw over on another group that it will be going off sale price soon. Just a thought...

    cheers,

    Plural's don't have apostrophe's. It seem's sometime's that any word's ending in "s" get a gratuitous apostrophe. Apostrophe's are used to indicate possessive's and elision's (contraction's or abbreviation's).

    Hmm, I thought that had only been posted in the Yahoo groups on FrontPage and Expression Web. I didn't think you were a member of those groups Scott. But yes, the sale price does end soon. If there is enough demand they will even teach another session of migrating your site from FrontPage to Expression Web but there has to be enough interest before they'll teach it. <g>
