The Bacteriology Department web site is a growing dynamic site with many authors. To facilitate different writers with different skill levels we have begun using Frontier by UserLand Software. Each method serves various skill levels.
Email is for the occasional modification of a web page and requires the least amount of expertise.
The system is even set up to add HTML to the email as it is processed. On the down side, Email has the least flexibility and control, when compared to the other systems. FTP gives the author complete control over how the page looks including images and special files. Web Edit is a version control system and a HTML authoring environment that runs inside of Frontier. This method requires that Fronteir be running both as a server on the web site computer and as a client on your machine.
