the process easier.

The site between your ears. The harder you work it, the easier the process
will become.

IOW, sometimes the shortest distance between 2 points is a straight line.

to follow up on what Kevin said;

what I did to learn FrontPage was to get a "big book" in my case FrontPage
Inside Out, and a "light" book, in my case a "visually" series.
the way I worked was to follow the exercises and examples in the "light"
book, then when I wanted more detail refer to the "big" one.
regardless, it took a long time and a lot of reading and experimentation.

one other thing you might want to do to get a jump start is buy a quality
FrontPage template from a place like pixelmill or classythemes, then use it,
tear it apart, customize it etc. that helped me greatly.

oh, and keep using this newsgroup. it's very helpful!

To follow up on what Chris said,

FrontPage itself can be an excellent learning tool for HTML. Just use the
visual tools to create HTML, and then take a look at the source code it
writes. I learned quite a bit early on from studying the way FrontPage
writes HTML.

Kevin and Chris,
I would endorse that.

About a month ago I knew absolutely nothing about creating Web pages,
FrontPage or HTML. Actually I did recall what HTML was an acronym for -
great, it could still have been Swahili to me (apologies to speakers of
Swahili).

I bought a computer magazine with a small book named "Produce Your Own
Website" and another small book from a bookstore "Get Going With Web Pages".
They were not high powered manuals, but they got me started, together with
FP itself. The trick of using the FP interface and then looking at the code
it creates helps a lot.

This newsgroup is a good resource. I am impressed by the way experts will
answer questions which to them are so simplistic - but not to the newbies.
And they keep repeating their answers to others with apparent equanimity.

A good website is W3Schools Online Web Tutorials
http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp
To quote from their Home Page:
Full Web Building Tutorials - All Free
At W3Schools you will find all the Web-building tutorials you need, from
basic HTML and XHTML to advanced XML, XSL, Multimedia and WAP.

Hardly a day goes by when I don't do a bit of searching here for help.
