Tutorial: Using FrontPage with Radio Weblogs

What is the difference between a disk-based and server based web

Q. What is the difference between a disk-based and server based web?

A. By default, FrontPage creates disk-based webs when you choose the File, New Web option from the menu.  A disk-based web is a web that has not been published to a web server.  Disk-based webs are accessed by selecting a folder location on your Hard Drive, such as C:My Webs.

Server-based webs are webs that have been published to a web server.  You can access these webs by selecting File, Open Web and putting in the location of your web site, such as http://www.mydomain.com/. If you are running a web server locally you would choose http://localhost/ to open your web.

The advantage of using a server-based web is that you can develop and test out all features that require the FrontPage Server Extensions to function.
