Yes, they cracked a huge wobbly here. Am just recovering from the huge punch up that resulted and only called timeout by rolling back to FrontPage. We will now instead migrate to our Drupal server. Once I finish dressing it up and get some staff trained, this will go live.<br>

It makes as much sense as building a car by hand with a mechano set when you can subcontract the work to a mechanised auto plant.<br>
<br>Regards Roland<br><br>PS: There are some excellent drupal training courses running in Melbourne. I am happy to cross post some details.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/4/2 Toet, Rikki L <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:toet.rikki.l@edumail.vic.gov.au">toet.rikki.l@edumail.vic.gov.au</a>></span><br>

<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">From what I’ve seen of Web Expressions it is similar to MS
FrontPage, but allows you to do more complex things. For example, I caught one
of the very bright students using it to create a proxy server so he can bypass all
of the school server settings. On the other hand, it doesn’t have the
simple things, such as navigation view.</span></p>

their resources are for FrontPage. We are in the process of trying to get it
back on the network.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><div class="im">Hi all,<br>
<br>
I am currently teaching at Grovedale College and this year is my first<br>
time teaching IT Apps and 11 IT (It is a combined class so I started<br>
with Outcome 2 for Unit 1). I will be starting U3O2 and U1O1 after the<br>
holidays and we have just changed from MS FrontPage to Web Expressions<br>
2. Due to this, I have next to nothing in the way of resources. Can<br>
anyone help me out with exercises, worksheets, SACs, etc. or even advice<br>
on what to do and where I can get resources from.<br>
<br>
Kind regards<br>
