Correcting the Mission Website

As you might have noticed, some pages of the website are not correctly displayed. There are pages that are all underlined, italicized, or bolded, or are bolded where they should not be. It has been like this for a while. Recently we decided to correct this problem. We were pleased to receive many volunteers to help to find these pages and to check the pages we corrected.

The website was constructed by using the FrontPage program from Microsoft. It was an easy program to use. However, it never claimed to be the most professional program on the market. In the last few years, Microsoft has committed itself to create a professional software and has discontinued FrontPage. We bought this new software and tried to take advantage of its new capabilities (Cascading Style Sheets - CSS, was one of them).

However, as we found out later, this broke many of the codes in the website and there arose a conflict between codes from FrontPage and their latest program Expression Web (EW). That is where we are now, and we are trying to resolve this problem. The EW is a much more complicated program and so we are running into problems that we really do not understand (need a professional web designer to make sense of them). However, we could not just let it continue as it was.

So we will try to correct the website as much as we can. However, we would like to know if anyone out there is familiar with these programs, is a professional web designer, etc. Please step forward as we really can use your help!
