Hi
I am looking for help, being pointed in the right direction would be appreciated.

In about 2000 or thereabouts, I, with the aid of free Trelix did a website / homepage. (http://www.users.on.net/~jaew).
I used my ISP for free web page hosting, and during the time between then and now, changed sites a couple of times. I remember on one occasion one of the sited didn't recognise trellix, and I think I converted it into Front page.
Can't remember how I did it. (getting old) I enjoyed doing it though.
Anyway I now have the existing site (above) and I want to make that into a a part of a larger site, using parts of it in the main pages of the new site.

I have a copy of the homepage in a folder I can work with. Can anyone guide me in what I should do / where to go to upgrade it to what I want.?
I seem to remeber that the trelix site had a navigation screen as part of the build.

I have Front Page available.

Thanks

John

In all honesty, I'd say abandon Frontpage entirely. It is a steaming pile of code, and will only hurt you in the long run.
Grab a decent text/html editor (HTML Kit, Edit Pad Pro, etc, etc), work with your actual page source and go to town. As long as Trelix output actual HTML, there should be no "conversion".
Working directly with the code will definitely be a little more difficult if you're just starting out, but as long as you aren't afraid of actually learning something, it won't take you long to get the hang of it, and you'll be far better off in the long run.

Thanks for that Tweak.
I am retired so I have plenty of time to mess about. I must admit I enjoy the challenge of learning something new, so I am not daunted by plunging in the deep end.
I hope that I can find something which has a good tutorial.
Bye
John

The HTML/CSS tutorials at www.htmldog.com are pretty good for beginners.
