Can others preview web page prior to publishing - 8/1/2007 13:00:13   
Hello. I am very new at this and hoping for some advice. I have recently taken over as webmaster for my daughter's elementary school. I have redesigned the site using Frontpage and want to send it out to the interested parties to preview/approve before publishing it. Is there a way to do this so they can see the new format if they don't have Frontpage?

Many Thanks and Most Humbly Yours,
Laura

Laura,

Sure. If you have room on any server anywhere, then publish it as a subweb which is what developers do before final site release to their customers. This way only those who know the address will be able to preview it. E.G. http://www.anyweb.com/school

Don't worry, we can help you with all the technicalities - just ask :)

You could make a subweb/subsite in FP and publish the new files to that instead of the main site. Give your viewers a link to
http://www.mainsite/subweb. You also publish to the subweb address.

See this tutorial for information on subwebs in FP

Edit: oops Larry got there before me. :)
