Hello folks -

I am a VERY basic HTML user - I have my own personal site <a
href="http://home.tampabay.rr.com/whitewolf">here</a> which is a fair
display of what I know how to do. I did it with Arachnophilia, which is a
pretty basic html editor.

Howsoever, I've had the care & feeding of another site dumped in my lap
recently. This site is considerably more complex - and I am dreadfully lost.
This site is <a href="http://www.circleofsouls.org">here</a>.

Here's what I've learned about this new site so far:
- The former owner didn't really bother to organize the files.
- It has several pages which are used to maintain MS Access databases (.asp
pages)
- It requires Front Page 2000 according to the former owner.
- The site has gone through at least one major renovation, with the old
files freely intermingled with the new ones.

As I can't really scrap the entire site and start over (which would be my
first preference), I'm going to have to learn how to manage this one.
Suggestions on where to start would be VERY much appreciated. Initially I
need to know how to use Front Page to manipulate the databases... add,
remove, and modify records, write queries, and so on.

Apologies to the mods if this is off-topic.
