The front-page of a newspaper typically contains major news stories of the day. It may also tease other stories to be found in other sections of the paper.
The back pages of a publication are where less prominent articles, advertisements and other content often appear. The term can also be used to refer to less important or critical narratives in various contexts.
In 2014, three Jane Does alleged to have been sex trafficked as minors sued Backpage, an online classified advertisement website, in federal court. They argued that Backpage allowed their traffickers to place ads for them, and thereby facilitated sex trafficking. The district court dismissed the complaint, but on appeal, a panel of judges ruled that Backpage’s actions were traditional publisher functions regarding third-party content and therefore shielded by CDA Section 230.
Microsoft FrontPage (full name Microsoft Office FrontPage) is a WYSIWYG HTML editor and website administration tool that was a part of the Microsoft Office suite until it was discontinued in 2006. FrontPage used to require a set of server-side extensions called FrontPage Server Extensions to function, and these have been frequently subject to security problems. From the release of FrontPage 2003, Microsoft moved away from this proprietary technology in favor of standard protocols for web server communication and content management. For example, FrontPage 2003 added a Split View feature to allow users to code in Code View and preview in Design View without having to switch tabs for each review. It also introduced Intellisense, a form of autocompletion, and Code Snippets, a way to store commonly used blocks of code in a library for rapid deployment.
