MICROSOFT FRONT PAGE

Without Microsoft's Front Page, Real Estate Clipart would not exist.  I've found it the easiest web editing program to learn and use if you are going to build and maintain your own website.  

NOTE: Those who are pure "html" designers would disagree with me.  But the way I see it, why cut down a tree with a hand saw when you can use a Chain Saw!  Sure, I may not get to know the tree as well as if I spent lots of time with it, up close and personal.  But I'll get the job done a HECK OF A LOT FASTER with the chain saw!

NO, I AM NOT ON BILL GATE'S PAYROLL (to bad...) and I DON'T get anything for recommending Front Page.  I just love the program and think it will help you get your site on the net if you are willing to put in the time and effort it will take to learn the program.  It's not "that" easy...but it's as easy as learning Word, or Microsoft Publisher or any other of the Microsoft Office Programs I think.

*NOTE: The links on this page are all programmed to open in a separate copy of your Browser, either Netscape or Explorer. That way you can check out their site while this site is still open.  So you don't over tax your Ram Memory though, you might want to bookmark and close the window of the last link you visited before visiting another or before you know it you'll have a dozen copies of your browser open. 

REMEMBER, WEB DESIGN IS A NEVER ENDING LEARNING EXPERIENCE.  That is as it should be.  It's never the goal that give the most self satisfaction, but the Journey itself.

TIP - read about all the links before you click on  one to better choose what you are needing.  Each link has a description of what the site has to offer.

I do all my web designing using Front Page 2000.  There have been upgrades since then, but I've not yet found the need to upgrade, so an 2000 would work just fine for you if you are on a budget.  You can probably find this version on Ebay for less then the cost of the new version.  Of course, if money isn't an object, go ahead and purchase the new version.  Remember, if you do not have Front Page already, you'll need the full version.  An upgrade version won't work. 

Microsoft Front Page comes with a Technical Users Manual, and that's just what it is...Technical.  I've found it's much easier to understand some of the independent books that are written in a more user friendly fashion.  Do yourself a favor and purchase a third party "how to" book on the version of Front Page that you get.

The most important help you will find will be from
 FRIENDS YOU HAVEN'T MET YET!

The internet, at first glance, appears to be a solitary pursuit.  It's only you, sitting behind a screen with a keyboard.  However, in truth, we are more surrounded by people on the net then when we are at work in the "real world".

Sitting with us, at any one time, are millions of people, throughout the world!  We are all right here, tied together by a gazillion miles of cables, and only a mouse click and a few keystrokes away from each other. 

We are a community.  Many of the internet neighbors have been exactly where we are, and, just like real neighbors, most are willing to help when they can.   

Frontpage Help Site Links - This site has a whole page of links to sites that offer Frontpage help.

Front Page Newsgroup - Post  a question to the group in the form of an email, and other users of Microsoft Front Page will try to help.  Many of those offering help are trained Front Page MVP's.  I've used this method for finding answers to problems, and have been extremely pleased with the help they've offered! This is truly user helping user.
