Summary: Item is ok and will need to be tweaked
Comment: This version of Expression is ok. I was expecting a much more rounded and intuitive product from Microsoft. It is still light years behind Dreamweaver. Not too many new features for my personal use. If you have the last version of Front Page don't waste the money on this product. Wait until Microsoft makes some real changes in the software before upgrading.

Summary: Expression Web- not as easy as it sounds
Comment: I must say I loved FrontPage, and I was not sure about this upgrade. It is harder than it looks, but does make nice pages. The "simple" use of photo galleries from external sources is a joke for anyone not an expert. This is the biggest downside of the program. The navigation setup is a lot different and not as easy as FrontPage, but is manageable. Over all it should be an okay program for building and managing websites. Be patient and read everything, and watch the training video, it takes time but is worth it.

Summary: migrate from Front Page not so bad
Comment: I watched the quickstart video from microsoft expression http://www.microsoft.com/expression/kc/resources.aspx?type=quickstart and was able to figure basic html changes from front page in a day. After importing I found it better to copy and past text and functions/objects to remove errors into a new page rather then edditing them in the imported page. Imports include errors (highlighted in html)but does make it function without front page extensions. Even then I had to redo it a 4th time because if you copy text it comes with bad code unless you specify text only. The biggest improvement on my site was switching to layers from old style frames. The advantage is when you paste text or art into a layer it is fully drag positional vs a frame. Using Styles (text type and font and color prespecified at the begining) was easy as when ever you define a font it creates a new style and posts the info for you. This can cause a mess of extra code so watch and try to use as few styles as possible rather then creating more and more and then when you redifine the style it change all text using that style even in different locations keeping uniformity. I had to go back through as somehow I got around 25 styles (a fifth time). But now I have an error free compliant website.

Summary: A "Must Have" for Expression Web
Comment: A very thorough easy to follow reference manual for Expression Web. The use of hands on examples makes learning how to use this new web design software understandable and easy to design your website the way you want it. The CD of the book and software applications included make this an excellent value. .Special Edition Using Microsoft Expression Web
