Enjoying Expression Web

I'm putting a web site up for my sister who makes beautiful quilts.  I decided to use Expression Web and for her blog, BlogEngine.Net.  I've got more to say about BlogEngine.Net (the more I use it, the more I like it!), but that's another post.

Expression Web has a number of templates that help you get started, which is the route I took.  The HTML is super clean and the interface helps you get the job done really quickly.

Check out this example below.  I want to change the font on all H3 tags of a single page.  I highlight the area (1) and view the HTML (2), much like VS2008.  Then I can select the page CSS class in the sidebar (3), making the process super quick and GUI-driven, which is a refreshing change for an old-time code guy like me.

I hope I get the chance to work more with Expression Web, though unfortunately I don't get to do many quilting sites.

What about SharePoint Designer?  I confused as to where Microsoft is heading with this so called FrontPage Replacement, then they come out with Expression Web.  Both have different interfaces, yet they can essentially do the same.

Hi, Deacon!  I was heavy into SharePoint with Versions 1.0 and 2.0, but haven't worked with it since.  I haven't heard about SharePoint Designer.  Thanks for mentioning it, and sorry I can't tell you anything about where the two products are heading.
