FrontPage 2003 and WSS- the essential combo

  • Article

I caught this response by WSS deity Mike Walsh (see the
microsoft.public.sharepoint.windowsservices ng) to the question of
how to sort items in the Quick Launch toolbar of a SharePoint
site:

No. It's not possible using the web interface. You'll find that FP
2003 is
almost an essential tool for amending and enhancing WSS sites. This
is just
one example - tying in data from other databases using FP 2003's Data
View
being another.

It's quite true. You know, I have been what I consider a serious Web
developer (blah), and have rolled many thousands of lines of code for the Web,
but I did not really use FrontPage. With SharePoint, however, it just simplifies
so many things. It's a very mature program, and it is finding a place in my
arsenal now.
