Hi There,
I designed my clubs site (http://www.mairangibayslsc.org.nz/) using
Frontpage. Since then I've had a crash and also lost the setup disks. Should
I try and go back to using Frontpage or change to Expression web?

TIA

Cheers
Stephen

Use HTML, CSS and Javascript. Why use a secondary program that
produces poor code and doesn't teach you much about the basic
languages? (To use Frontpage properly you still need to have a basic
knowledge of HTML)

Yes, I agree

This site may help in using HTML CSS and Javascript

I appreciate the input, but I haven't the time or the energy to learn too
much new stuff, which is why I want an editor, just which one?

Cheers

EW will beat you up pretty good if you "don't have the time or energy to
learn", as will any HTML authoring system with any chops.

I understand your position of wanting to get a web published with the
minimum of effort. I was (and am) in the same position, not being a
professional web designer or having any experience in web languages.
(However, I do have extensive programming experience.) I bought
FrontPage and used it reasonably well until I started hitting its bugs
and quirks. I decided to dump it and learn HTML, CSS and a very
little Javascript. It was definiately the correct decision for me.
