Using FrontPage 2003 to Consolidate Images in a Common Folder
A few months ago I wrote a blog titled Using FrontPage 2003 to Bulk Rename Images Using VBA, in which I shared a VBA macro that renamed all of the images in a website to a common file-naming syntax. In that blog I explained my reasoning behind my use of the long-outdated FrontPage 2003, and that reason was that FrontPage's "Link Fix Up" feature replicates file renames across your entire website. This single feature can greatly reduce your development time for websites when you have a lot of renaming to do.

(The specific list of languages is provided later in this blog.)

Life after FPSE (Part 5)
We recently hosted a group of customers from a large hosting company here at Microsoft, and as the meeting was getting started everyone in the room was introducing themselves to the other attendees. As I was shaking hands with one of our visitors, I introduced myself by name and he had a brief moment of recognition, then he asked, "Wait a minute - are you the guy that's trying to drive a stake through the heart of the FrontPage Server Extensions?" I laughed and answered, "Well, I wouldn't put it that way, but yes - that's me." He ecstatically replied "Thank you!" and proceeded to give me a high five, then he continued the discussion by explaining how much he hated the FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE).
