Cheating using Frontpage?

I have always written webpages in html, well up until now. I was fooling around witht the new frontpage and have now decided to "cheat". I feel so ashamed of myself...........

Because do that long enough and you will have a heart attack trying to walk up stairs.

I don't see anything wrong with roughing things out in Frontpage, but don't rely on it as a crutch. I would always go back after to double check everything. Programs like Frontpage don't necessarily make the most elegant HTML.

Ahh - Microsoft has gotten to you there . MS Frontpage 2003 had some badly needed improvements to the MS Frontpage XP...which I think were for the far better. I wouldn't particualrily recommend going with the Frontpage interface - be sure to peak into HTML code often

I am just using it for page appearance. Going back and forth between frontpage and my code. Mainly using frontpage to see how font size, frames, and backgrounds look. It is soo much easier to click and drag frame size instead of writing the code to do it.

Just make sure you clean up the code when you are finished. I used to make all pages for my site in frontpage, then when I learnt HTML by hand I found out Frontpage had inserted a load of unneeded junk code. I cleaned it up and managed to cut file sizes down by 3-6KB.
