Newbie publishing questions ?

I am updating various pages on a very large web.
I have a couple questions that I hope you can answer for me:

(1) There are a few pages that incorporate FP components. I
understand, as such, that these pages must be published using http and
not ftp. I have found that when I use ftp through the FP, it
automatically publishes _ALL_ of the pages. Is there a way (FP2000)
that I can simply publish select pages, to conserve time and bandwidth
?

(2) One of the FP components is intended to reflect the date that the
"content" was last updated.

<p class="c2"><i>This page was updated on:</i> <!--webbot
bot="Timestamp"
S-Type="EDITED" S-Format="%d/%m/%Y" -->
</p>

The changes I am making to this page are not the actual
"content"....I'm just updating some of the markup, tags, and
accessibility attributes.

Is there a way that I can publish my changes WITHOUT affecting the
current "This page was updated on: 19/09/2002 " date?

Thanks !

Moe
 
Hi Moe,

From your first question, it sounds like you want to publish some of your
web using FTP and some of it using HTTP. Not a good idea. Just use the
FrontPage Publish functionality (HTTP) and publish the whole thing. You can
specify "changed pages only" to prevent too many pages from being published.

As to your second question, that date value is generated by the WebBot. As
long as you leave the WebBot tag alone, it should be fine.
