What is Microsoft FrontPage, and why/how
would I use it to maintain my site?
Microsoft FrontPage is one of the most popular web design
tools today. Several of our web developers use FrontPage exclusively to design
sites. This site was also designed with FrontPage. If you have Microsoft
FrontPage installed on your computer, you may use it to author pages online by connecting
directly to the OxONet web servers. It will provide you with a visual web page
editor, where pages may be written using an interface very similar to Microsoft Word.
FrontPage also supports various "active" components which provide dynamic
site content such as hit counters, rotating banners, and buttons. It also saves you
the added chore of updating your pages on OxONet's servers whenever you make changes,
because it publishes directly to the server automatically.
The alternative to using FrontPage is using File Transfer
Protocol (FTP) to upload your files to OxONet's servers. This is the
"traditional" way to maintain a web site, although it involves a little more
work than using FrontPage. Note: If you are using
FrontPage to
manage your site, you should not use FTP at all, because doing so may corrupt the
extensions which allow FrontPage to work on your account.
What are CGI scripts, and why/how would I
use them?
CGI scripts have a very variety of uses. They are
programs that run on web servers, and tyically provide dynamic content to people browsing
your web site. Some simple, common examples of CGI scripts are hit counters,
guestbook systems, and information-gathering tools like OxONet's Account Configuration
Wizard.
All OxONet accounts allow you to create or download your own
CGI scripts and run them on your web site. They should be placed in the cgi-bin
directory on your OxONet account, and they may then be reference with the URL: http://<your
site name here>/cgi-bin/<your script name here>.
