A front-page article is one that appears at the top of a newspaper, magazine or other publication and is generally devoted to the most important news items. For example, if a player scores a century in cricket it would be front-page news and the same applies to other sports such as football and rugby. Similarly, when a politician does something extremely controversial it could also find itself on the front page.
The noun front-page has only one meaning listed in the Oxford English Dictionary (OD), which is ‘of major importance; worthy of being prominent on the first page of a newspaper.’ It is a relatively uncommon word in everyday English and its use is generally restricted to newspapers and the media.
Microsoft FrontPage is a discontinued WYSIWYG HTML editor and Web site administration tool that was part of the Microsoft Office suite from 1997 to 2006. FrontPage was superseded by two products: Microsoft SharePoint Designer and Microsoft Expression Web, which were designed to meet the needs of both business professionals and Web designers. FrontPage requires a set of server-side extensions, originally known as FrontPage Server Extensions and later renamed to Internet Information Services Extensions, to function. These extensions communicate with the Web server through the HTTP protocol and rely on CGI/POST for server-side processing. Frequent security problems plagued the history of these Microsoft proprietary technologies and FrontPage Server Extensions were eventually replaced by standard protocols such as FTP and WebDAV for remote Web publishing and authoring. FrontPage also included several unique editing features such as Intellisense (a form of autocompletion) and Code Snippets.
