Ever since I've been doing SEO work, I've always griped and complained about FrontPage and all the extraneous code it puts in the section of the page, etc.
Then recently, I had the opportunity to visit with a group of advanced search engine optimizers, and I was shocked to find that many of them
FrontPage??!!
The first thing I learned is that there are ways to keep out the extraneous code! With FrontPage, you can remove the code, but it keeps comes back again and again and again. But, there's a way to get rid of it forever.
How to Get Rid of Extraneous Code and Headers
Dave Barry, Webmaster of SmartCertify Direct (http://www.smartcertify.com), explains how:
FrontPage 97 or 98 users:
Click on Start, then Find, then Files or Folders. Search your hard drive (generally your C drive) for a file named frontpg.ini. Click on the file.
When it opens, look for a line that says, "Version 3.0."
Add this line under Version 3.0:
HTMLREFORMAT=0
The next time you use FrontPage, remove the extraneous code and headers, and they won't come back.
FrontPage 2000, 2002, or XP users:
Look at the menu bar at the top of the Open Web. Click on Tools, then Page Options.
You'll see an option box. Under HTML Source, at the top of the page under General, you'll have this choice:
When saving file(s):
Preserve existing HTML or Reformat using the rules below
If you choose Preserve existing HTML, and if you delete any extraneous code and headers, you won't see the code or headers on your pages again.
