Starting A New Website

Dreamweaver is really the best and having the integrated FTP is really handy.
Frontpage should not be used under any circumstances

If you are going to create a blog use WordPress, otherwise Koobi would be best choice. And UltraEdit is a must have for both

use dreamweaver, it's realy easy.
if you study some basic html that might come in handy.
with dreamweaver you can use CSS verry easy, you hardly have to know what it is to use it. Only if you want to work with ID's or classes you'll have to do a little reading, but even that is realy easy.

or you use frontpage :p

Dreamweaver is the best.....but you need to download a good tutorial to use it right!!!

I agree, DW is the best and a good tutorial will help a lot. The Lynda.com tutorials are excellent, you can DL them from the usual places.

Dreamweaver
And I second manofstyle's suggestion of Lynda.com tutorials - they're really good. Of course, if you want to start a blog, you can use wordpress - and if you are potent in PHP, you can of modify wordpress to suit your needs - which is what I do, as opposed to programming a site from the core.

Just wondering on what bases you would say never use FrontPage?

Microsoft® Office SharePoint® Designer 2007 and Microsoft® Expression™ Web Designer are partially based on FrontPage technologies and will be launched in the second half of 2006. Microsoft® Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition were successfully launched in 2005.
Sounds to me like Microsoft is making FrontPage bigger and better and changing the name.

Your reason of “Because it’s so crap” is no reason.
I have used FrontPage 1998-2003, I have also used Dreamweaver. Both are very good programs, however if someone is trying to make a website for what sounds like the first time, I would strongly suggest FrontPage 2003 because of it’s “what you see is what you get feature.”( WYSIWYG) This will allow the person to design the look of his site and then be able to view and learn from the FrontPage generated code. Also the ability to open and edit a site live is very cool.
