Web page setup using Windows 98

I have established an account with an ISP for Web page space. I have also downloaded a FTP. Do I need an authoring tool ? I can't get MS Personal Web Manager to work ? Is there a easier program to make changes to my web page? By the way, I have seen by page on the ISP.

Hi,

Microsoft FrontPage 98 will be the right tool for your need. Just check with your ISP if his server has FrontPage extensions installed.
with FrontPage, you can create the Web pages offline & then publish them to your ISP's server in your directory(webspace)
& everything should be fine !

This answer is unsatisfactory because my ISP , which is gte, said that I cannot use front page. This is a reply to a message I sent to them. "GTE supports FrontPage extensions for Business sites only at this time." I have been able to use notepad to make changes, so am I stuck with notepad or do I have to buy a authoring tool? Does Microsoft Windows 98 have a work-around that I'm not aware of?

I admit that I'm new at this. It would be nice to know a URL or two of some of these big software download sites. Thanks for your help.

If all you are writing is straight HTML with no CGI/Applets, you don't even need a web server..such as you are doing.

You need FrontPage server extension installed on the ISP side for you to utilize FrontPage or InterDev.

TO answer your PWS ques.. Make sure you have TCP/IP networking installed on your PC.
