Upload using MS FrontPage?

  • I haven’t tried to install WordPress yet until I get more information. My web site has been published with MS FrontPage since 1997. I don’t let FrontPage put the proprietary and non-valid code into the pages; I edit them myself to the strict standard. I like the way I can manage my website easily with FrontPage.

    If I create a subdirectory and install the WordPress files into it, um… I’m lost already. I am not a newbie, but my experience is only with HTML and CSS and my site is hosted on a Windows IIS server. I don’t know much about the server end of things.

    I would edit the blog using WordPress and then use FrontPage to upload them. Will this work? Assuming it will, then how do I install and configure WordPress. I use FrontPage instead of FTP to upload all the files of my web site.

    It is at https://www.TheBicyclingGuitarist.net/ if you want to check it out. Thanks for reading this.

    As a general note: I have hosted sites on more than one servers/hosts and I also work on many different servers, and lately more and more hosts are announcing that they will stop supporting FP extensions on their machines. So, you should keep that in mind for the future… There will be a sad day for you guys, when that thing will stop working. Better be prepared for it from now!

    Eventually, try to negotiate with the host to have a subdomain (like blog.example.com) where they would enable FTP access.
