Microsoft previews the “new” FrontPage

Microsoft has released the follow-on to FrontPage as a Technology Preview

Microsoft’s Office suite includes FrontPage as a web design tool. With the upcoming release of Office 12 and its integration with Sharepoint Services, FrontPage was demoted to “Sharepoint Designer.” The obvious question was whether FrontPage was to be used in two environments, Sharepoint and a general web design tool.
Now Microsoft has released their next version of a web design tool. The product is in early beta, so bugs, crashes, odd behavior, and feature changes are probably par for the course. More information and the downloadable file is available from Microsoft.
I’ve just started working with the preview, and since I’m testing it in Virtual PC running on a mac, I expect even more flakiness than usual. Your mileage may vary.

Levels of knowledge is the latest meme

The idea of “levels of knowledge” is the latest fad passing through the web design blog world. So we have levels of HTML knowledge, levels of javascript knowledge, levels of web accessibility knowledge, heavily tongue-in-cheek and filled with insider references, and levels of CSS knowledge.
Everybody in the tribe likes to rank themselves against everyone else, so the web design tribe gets its chance. All of the top levels are worth a look as a place to aim. But remember, someone keeps moving the target.
