getting started with html

Very true.

CSS isn't really an option anymore for good design. It's pretty much mandatory, but if you're starting to learn HTML, I'd put CSS off for a bit unless you understand markup languages fairly well.

One thing that is a bit of a sidetrack but might help, is to read a bit of the history of SGML. But for god's sake... don't bother learning it.

Yes, use Dreamweaver MX instead. That's a better one. Frontpage is only good to see how a page structure MIGHT look like. Problem with Frontpage is: they put so many useless crap in the page.

Like CSS. If I have 3 cell's, all need to look the same way, Frontpage just copies the <style> attribute, instead of making a new class, wich is better. Also, the Frontpage ' Extentions ' are really messed up. I never get one of these to work, and besides, I like to make stuff myself, so FP was not really my thing.

One positive thing about FP: It design's quite well. Making <table>'s is very easy to do, as well as changing some important attributes, but simply opening the properties window (like most, but who cares). Also, who uses Netscape, Konquerer or Opera anyway?
