Expression Web Tips

For those of you who are moving FrontPage to Expression Web, here is the latest tutorial from Cheryl Wise Replacing FP Hover Buttons.

Cheryl created this tutorial to show just how easy it is to use buttons without using the deprecated FP Hover buttons. This will allow you to continue to use the button styles you are currently using but reduce your page code and speed up load time. You will be replacing the old hover buttons with simple css and 3 buttons reused for each menu link. View the finished menu.

You can get the full tutorial Replacing FP Hover Buttons on Cheryl’s by-expression.com site. Be sure and check out her other tutorials and free templates.

Cheryl Wise was one of the first to offer tutorials on using Expression Web. Her Basic Website Video Tutorial while done using an earlier version of the software, remains an excellent resource. She is in the process of creating a new Basic Website Video Tutorial that will show you how to create the website shown below. Since it may take some time to get them all recorded and edited she will be creating text based tutorials using each script and screenshots.

Her first in a new series of beginner tutorials for Expression Web 4 is now available:

• EW 4: Configuring an Image Editor using Application Options. In this one Cheryl will show you how to configure Expression Web to use the graphics editor of your choice instead of “Paint”

Check back often as I will list the new tutorials as they become available.
