Browse the internet for a website that you like..design-wise.
On you Browser Toolbar you should see Edit and the FrontPage Icon, click on that. This will open the page you are viewing in Frontpage...you'll be asked for username/password..just click Cancel and the page will eventually open.
Play around with the page in FrontPage...you'll get an idea of how stuff is layed out and how FP works. You can even save it to you HD...but you probably shouldn't.
Hints...
Plan out what you want to do...draw it on paper if necessary
Pick a color pallette...yah do some thinking about what colors you're gonna use.
Start experimenting with your own web in FP..but don't 'fall in love' with it...your probably gonna screw it up a few times
Keep it simple! Don't use every darn feature you can find just for the 'effect' it usually ends up making a site look like a carnival side-show when people do that..flashing lites, moving marquees, flash movies, cows mooing in the background...yecho.
Most of all...don't be afraid to screw it up..because you will.
If you're on a deadline to finish the corporate website for the boss by friday...hire a web designer this will save you ulcers
