Help from web masters?

Hi, everyone!

In my new job, which I love, I'd like to get the webpages tuned up - start with just adding the latest information, and later improve the layout, etc.

I have built web pages before using text editor and html script. This webpage was built with Front Page, which I have not worked with before. And, as you may know, Front Page is no longer available.

Can you recommend the best software that will let me edit existing Front Page asp files?

I know I can learn the tool, no matter what it is, but I'd prefer to learn the best tool the first time around!

All opinions welcome!!

Thanks!

dreamweaver works with ASP files. You'll find that front page puts lots of erroneous code in the file that you'll probably need to clean up.

Argh. Dreamweaver is part of the Adobe vortex, nearly as bad as Vista!

Adobe is updating all its software (I already ran into this with Acrobat) so that you can't buy the new version yet because it's not released, and you can't buy the old version because the new version is coming. Same cr@p with Dreamweaver.

Why is software so problematic? Argh

So, does anyone have any suggestions for lower cost, simpler web editing software? I've used arachnophilia in the past, but have no idea what works with Vista to edit ASP files.

*sigh* I'd love this to be easy.....

Well, ASP is a Microsoft language. Not sure how you feel about Microsoft but they do have Express versions of their Visual Studio Integrated Development Environments which should give you enough tools to do what it sounds like you want to do. I use Visual Studio for work but the full-fledged versions. Moving those files from ASP to something like ASPX (ASP.NET) is a good idea since ASP is considered an older language and Microsoft is going to end support on it in 2009 or 2010. My suggestion for you is to check out Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition. It may be all you need especially if you worked with FrontPage before.
