Product Description
A few years ago, geeks, academics, and soda-fueled computer jocks populated the Internet. Today, everyone – from CEOs to seventh-grade students to weekend technology fiends – wants to get online. And people don’t just want to surf. They each want to carve out a unique personal space: They want a Web site.

Until recently, only the technically gifted and artistically inclined attempted to publish sites on the Web. Not anymore. FrontPage 2000 brings new ease to Web publishing. Without any knowledge of HTML (the language used to create Web pages), you can use FrontPage to build and manage a beautiful and sophisticated Web site, complete with exciting effects you see on those other sites. FrontPage 2000 For Dummies introduces you to the ins and outs of online design, while sharing expert insight into ways to

Tweak your text

Make things happen with hyperlinks

Add pictures and graphics to your pages

Create an image map

Work with themes

Launch your page into the big, wide Internet world

Whether you’re a beginner building your first family Web page or a professional designer looking to polish certain aspects of your site, FrontPage 2000 For Dummies will put you in the driver’s seat in a race through cyberspace. Expect to discover how to

Create Web pages that incorporate text, graphics, hyperlinks, image maps, tables, and multimedia.

Add creative fonts, lists, symbols, borders and shading, comments, and user forms to your Web pages.

Take advantage of FrontPage 2000’s integration with Office 2000.

Maintain and update your Web site using FrontPage 2000.

Use all the features of FrontPage to keep your site looking and feeling brand-spanking fresh and new.

With so many people jumping on the Web publishing bandwagon, you can easily feel like you’ve been left in the dust. If you’re edging your way into the Internet Age (or being dragged in, kicking and screaming, by your employer or your kids), you’re in for a pleasant surprise: Creating your own Web site with FrontPage 2000 is easy and fun with FrontPage 2000 For Dummies.Amazon.com Review
The whole world is watching! In the past few years, the Internet has given us unprecedented publishing opportunities, and Microsoft has made it easier than ever to reach like-minded souls across the Web with FrontPage, its Web publishing application. If you’re new to the world of Web design, FrontPage 2000 for Dummies can walk you through each step of the process with grace and good humor–though you may need to get a more comprehensive reference if you want to explore the intricacies of HTML.

The writing is clear, funny, and well-organized, moving from tool to tool with plenty of tips and tricks crammed in along the way. You learn the secrets of everything from basic file manipulation to multimedia, themes, and image maps. Unfortunately, the writing isn’t well-complemented with images; the shortage of screenshots is a serious flaw for visual learners.

The book’s accompanying CD-ROM is packed with shareware and trial software: Netscape 4.05, Paintshop Pro, WinZip, and plenty more. You’ll also find sample files, bonus chapters, and the URLs mentioned within the text. FrontPage 2000 for Dummies is a good, basic introduction and a refreshing supplement to the often dry text found in other Web publishing books–but even the dumbest FrontPage user will probably need more than this. –Rob Lightner
