I’d sooner use Frontpage.

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.

Man, Frontpage was the fucking bomb. I passed my computing class in highschool by just making websites in 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.

Same here! I started sprinkling in JavaScript from copy and paste snippets you’d find all over the web and eventually I moved on to PHP (for a small while) then Ruby on Rails.
