If anyone is familiar with fp2k, could you please advise me as to how to be able to add a forum to your web site? Also, how do you use a third party created photo album? I am relatively new to web designing, almost to the point of being clueless, however I can comprehende if I have something to go by, so any help will be greatly appreciated. One more quick ? How can you get a mouseover effect on a button (not a hover button, just an image button).
Thanks again,
Nikki
Here is the site I am trying (my best anyway) to develope;RacerXMoto (http://racerxmoto.com)

Hello. To add a forum to your website, you don't need to use (and shouldn't use) FrontPage. First, I would look into what type of forum software you want. Do you want to pay for a nicer, high quality one? Do you want a free one? I typically use phpBB. It's free, and not too hard to set up. They're website also has great help sections.
Now, when you refer to the photo album, I think we would need a little more information. What is the software, etc...
To get a mouseover effect on a image button, you'd first need to redesign your current image to what you want it to look like when you have a mouseover effect (but make sure you keep your origianl image too). Then, you'd use some javascript to create the effect. Check out w3schools.com for great javascript tutorials.
Good luck!

For Forum, you may try: http://www.phpbb.com ; For Photo Album, you may try http://gallery.menalto.com ? However these are just my suggestions. You may search around the internet for more options. And, a great web design site : http://www.sitepoint.com
Good Luck

Fp does supply a message board - but it cannot handle too many messages / threads. I have read / tried to help people whos FP message boards have just become way too overloaded.
Consider using some type of a message board with a database. CHeck out the PHPBB for PHP and WebWiz or Snitz for ASP.
