1. With FrontPage you can change the "There are currently no...." message to
anything you want.
http://www.wssdemo.com/Project/default.aspx

Just edit the default.aspx page in FrontPage and search in the code window
for "currently".
You can't search for the entire message string because it is html encoded.
Replace the message with what you want or delete it.
