Love your demo - especially that last link. Now, the real question: Where do
I find the time to convert existing question files to Friday?

What format are they in now?

I just wrote a little routine for one of my regulars that takes a list of
questions (just questions) and creates the basic FAQ file plus dummy answer
files for each. IOW, it populates the whole thing with questions so you can
just doubleclick a question and paste in the answer from another source.

Actually, I wrote the conversion routine in PPT -- it was there, it was fast,
and I knew he had a copy to run it on. <g>

It keeps everything in simple ASCII text files, so it's fairly simple to
manipulate the FAQ using external programs.

Can I "populate" a Friday FAQ from my database?

What format? Horrid hand done html that I haven't touched in a LONG time. I
need to find time to update the q&a's and quick tips on my site.

Ah. In that case ...

Browser window open on the html pages, select, copy.
Add a new question in Friday, paste in the content.

Sneaky... I'll take this off line. You may have just given me the incentive
to find the time to fix those pages
