Help Creating a FrontPage "Blog" form?

[Lee Bentley, Jr.]

I am running FrontPage 2000. I want to use it to create a blog. I'm almost
there, but I'd like to see if I can eliminate some inadequacies.

I've created a page with a "guestbook"-style form. It sends it's data to a
second page (which is also my confirmation page), and that page is then
displayed on the "public" page on my site. I've put the form and the
confirmation pages into a password-protected folder. When I enter text into
the form, it appears on my "blog" page, but the formatting leaves something
to be desired.

The form sends the data as HTML. This give me a big block of text, with no
HTML commands having any effect. Having the form send the data as any kind
of formatted text means that word wrap fails to work, and that's not
acceptable. Also, again, no HTML commands (bold, italics, etc.) are
functional.

Is there some way to create a form in FrontPage which will send data in
which the HTML commands are functional?

Thanks!

No. You will need to use a server-side script language to process and display.
