For learning, FrontPage is fine. Most people recommend
Dreamweaver to create webpages, but since you already have
FrontPage, I wouldn't buy another program.
Just plug away at it while learning from the books and
tutorials.
You'll need to find a webhost to post your site. Anything
that's free has banner ads on them (or pop up ads) ... so, if
you want a site that has no ads and also has your own domain
name, they cost about $100 per year.
Your webhost will also need to support FrontPage
Extensions ... that's the special code that Microsoft
requires with FrontPage generated sites. That's another
reason most people use Dreamweaver over FrontPage.
But, learn it, and also learn basic HTML commands. It's
important to know how to tweak the web pages if you need to.
