What is Expression Web?

Expression Web Software.Expression Web is the successor to FrontPage and is a tool that's been built with today's modern standards in mind. You will see results in better browser rendering. Expression Web builds sites to XHTML and CSS standards and makes sure your pages are compliant throughout the design process.

Expression Web makes use of Cascading Style Sheets, which separate the presentation of your site from the actual content. Expression Web requires Microsoft Windows® XP with Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista® operating system. EW allows you to validate your site with compatibility and accessibility reporting and against Section 508 and W3C Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

The first thing you should do after installing Expression Web is to set the program up correctly. Tina Clarke, a fellow Microsoft MVP - Expression Web has made available to you F REE her Setting up Expression Web Ebook available for both Version 1.0 and 2.0 and the just released EW3. Cheryl Wise, MS MVP - Expression Web has created a video tutorial on creating a basic website in Expression Web from start to finish.

Rules/Suggestions for Posting

  • Use meaningful Subject lines. Help doesn't really tell us much.
     
  • Edit Replies! strip out anything unnecessary, but leave the person's name who posted previously, insert SNIP if you have snipped the post. Need to know how to trim your post? http://www.marthas-web.com/trimming-posts.htm
     
  • Change Subject headings when appropriate. Don't respond with Re: Digest #
     
  • No Flaming (personal abusive attacks intended to incite, degrade, make fun of another person or their ideas with no positive outcome.
     
  • No Attachments. This list does NOT allow attachments.
     
  • This is not so much a rule as something to save time yours and the list's. If when asking for advice about a problem post your url.
     
  • Site Critiques: If you're requesting a review of your site the subject line should look like this: Request Site Critique: www.yoursite.com (Name of your site) The very first thing in the E-Mail body should be your URL so we know where to find your site followed by details of what you want from the critique, i.e. full critique, browser check, trouble shooting, etc. Do not generalize. Help is too general.

    When giving a critique, remember that it is constructive criticism not destructive criticism that is being sought by the requester. Also, you should strive to ensure the URL of the site remains in your critique response. If you are going to give a critique give one, "The site is nice" or "The site is not nice" is a waste of time for everyone.
