Is there a way I can find out when a particular webpage was last modified, changed, or edited?

If you use MS Frontpage (FPSE) you can do "Insert -> Date & Time -> Last Modified"

Sometimes

Sometimes yes and sometimes no. Some websites put it at the bottom of the page, which I assume you looked there. It could also be added by whatever application they use to design the website in the header (viewing the source). Also, depending on your time frame... if you go here http://www.archive.org/index.php and type in the website, you can see periodic screenshots of the website with date... for some websites it makes a screenshot every month or so, so just compare the screenshot to the website now... and look when it was last modified.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

thanks, that was helpful, I have another question. Is there an easy way for me to find out how many pages a website has?

You could...

... use one of the website downloaders that are here on CNET (downloads.com). It will download an entire website and you can then go count them Happy or look at the download stats which will tell you how many pages it saved to your computer.
