Not only that, frontpage requires a bunch of extra stuff to be installed on the server. Unix has an implementation of these files (which is strange, frontpage being a windows deal), but with my experience, it never works right.
I'm anti-frontpage heheh. But if you don't have those files, you can't build in frontpage anyways =)
I'd definatly go for Dreamweaver if you already know your way around in HTML. True its more of an advanced approach and could easily confuse a novice....but the results are much much better.
Frontpage i find is a pain in the neck. Only people who never did web-design or the like before should really use it....and than only until they know enough to dumb frontpage in the trash. Extension files are also just a pain.
My advice: Go to your closest PC shop and get yourself the Macromedia Studio MX 2004 suite (ok maybe a lil costly but its worth it believe me) Cheers, ~Tugg~
