Re: Finally - a website for you to see!
You'd be much better using Dreamweaver than Frontpage, it's not cheap but there is a 30 day trial version available.
The problem with Fronypage is that the code produced is to bad. A couple of months ago, I helped someone who was having problems with their site not ranking anywhere decent in the search engines. Looking at the code generated by frontpage is was horrendous!
I managed to remove 80% of it, but the site still looked exactly the same. Just through things like using a single style for one type of text, rather than what frontpage did which was to generate a new one each time, and having it inline rather than in an external stylesheet, or even in the pages header. As a result the site leapt up the rankings, and loaded a lot faster than before.
Yes Frontpage does allow beginners who have no idea how to code to create websites, but the trouble is it usally gives bad results, and then that puts them off. Dreamweaver will also generate code for you, as will other editors, but its much cleaner and more efficient so sites designed with it generally perform better and faster. Theres also no special hosting requirements as there is with Frontpage, which normally needs the frontpage extensions installed on the server.
