Free FrontPage Bot Macro for Expression

WantToLearn (from the OutFront Forums) has written a plug-in for Expression Web that re-enables the ability to insert FrontPage Include pages, Search Forms, Hit Counters, and Photo Galleries from the Insert menu in Expression Web. The FP Bot Macro also re-enables the Database Results Wizard (DRW) and adds the "Spooky Diet" macro to clean up the DRW code.
