I’d sooner use Frontpage.

    Frontpage Express is how I learned basic HTML.

    Basically I'd make something look like how I wanted, then just delete all the extra trash and repeating tags until I knew enough of what it did to write my own.

    Likewise.

    Unfortunately everything else I learned was ethereal and went away, and I’ve got a learning disability that really doesn’t like it when a new system is slightly different than a previous system I’d learned.

    I was all in on .shtml (anything but php or css), Shockwave/Macromedia Director 7 and Bryce for graphics.

    I could never get back into it using the mainstream stuff.

    Somewhere, in the dephts of the ancient 56k web, exists a website I made with friends when we were in middle school. It's actually still online, and half of the resources are pulled from urls like file:///D:/MegaSite/lol.JPG

    This data has been lost forever, but yet, somehow, parts of that yesteryears afternoon at my friend's are still here.

    FrontPage was initially created by Cambridge, Massachusetts company Vermeer Technologies, Incorporated, evidence of which can be easily spotted in file names and directories prefixed _vti_ in web sites created using FrontPage. Vermeer was acquired by Microsoft in January 1996 specifically so that Microsoft could add FrontPage to its product line-up, allowing them to gain an advantage in the browser wars, as FrontPage was designed to create web pages for their own browser, Internet Explorer.
