In journalism, the front-page is the most important news story of the day. A story makes the front-page if it is of major significance and interesting to a large number of people. The term back-page is often used to imply something less important than the front-page, and may be used in casual conversations as a pejorative or a joking reference to sidelined or lesser importance information.
The back pages of a newspaper, magazine or other publication can tease readers with stories inside the edition. For example, the front page of a tabloid might highlight several important stories from around the country but may also tease three stories that are in the back pages. A person may reference back-page items in a variety of contexts, ranging from daily conversations to academic writing.
Front-Page is a WYSIWYG HTML editor from Microsoft. The software is designed to hide the details of a web page’s HTML code from its user, making it easy for novices to create Web sites. It was included as part of the Microsoft Office suite and ran on Windows NT 4.0 Server and Internet Information Services (IIS). Front-Page required a set of server-side extensions originally known as IIS Extensions, which was later renamed Front-Page Server Extensions (FPSE). FPSE was replaced in December 2006 by two products: Microsoft SharePoint Designer and Microsoft Expression Web.
In 2014, three anonymous women who were sex trafficked as minors sued Backpage in federal court, accusing the website of facilitating sex trafficking through its advertising policies and practices. The court ruled that the site’s actions were traditional publisher functions, shielded under CDA Section 230.
