Create a Discussion Group on Your FrontPage Web Site
I've
found a useful feature in FrontPage version 2002 and put it
to a unique use. As a Web site designer, I use the
Discussion Web Wizard to create discussion groups on Web
sites that I'm designing for my clients. By using the
threaded discussion feature of the discussion group, I can
communicate with my clients, receive their feedback, and
respond to their comments in real time.
For example, if a
client wants the design theme changed, I can change it and
receive an opinion back immediately.
To create an instant chat room you can use to communicate
with your client, all you need to do is create a folder on
the customer's Web server and then run the Discussion Web
Wizard. You can use the discussion group to ask questions,
comment on changes, and request text from the client. Here's
how:
1.
Open
the Web site in which you want to create a discussion group.
2.
On the
File menu, point to New, and then click
Page or Web.
3.
In the
New Page or Web task pane, under New from template,
click Web Site Templates.
4.
Click
the Discussion Web Wizard.
5.
Select
the Add to current Web check box, and click OK.
6.
Follow
the directions on your screen to create a discussion group.
