Worth Buying; A Big Help

This book was a big help to me in creating my own art website. I was combining lots of visuals plus accompanying text, all on a black cut silk velvet background of my own. Thus, I did not use one of the program's theme websites. I was being fairly ambitious in what I was trying to set up and this book got me most of the way there. The main reason I'm not giving it a 5 though is I still needed to call in my computer friend to help me when I still did not have a website which totally lined up right. She had to get the spacing worked out and get rid of the horizontal bar for me. I will admit, however, that computer knowledge also does not come easily to me. If you are looking for a book that can absolutely guarantee you will be able to build a website from its pages, this book is not it. However, I doubt any other book is it either as there are a number of bugs in the Front Page program itself that my friend had to fix for me that no book would have addressed. My friend didn't berate me for buying this book; she berated me for buying Front Page! My husband bought 2 other books for me from Microsoft directly on Front Page and they were not near the help this book was. If you've decided on using Front Page as your program, I'd go ahead and get this book. You're probably not going to do better.

Much easier to use than a typical reference guide!

I'm so impressed with this book I intend to purchase more in the series. While it doesn't have the depth of a 400 page reference guide, I'm sure most people will be much happier with the results from it. By being able to see, in colour, exactly what you're supposed to be doing, you'll learn things much faster. The book even shows pictures of the menus, and which option you need to choose in order to proceed with the desired function. I also liked the way the book picked the topics most people would want to understand better about Frontpage. Most people don't want to sell product and track inventory from their personal website. This book focuses on what beginners want to be able to do. For example, it shows you how to create a home page, how to make navigation buttons appear on top and different navigation buttons appear on the left of your page, and how to use photos and other objects in your web page. It also helps you understand the built-in wizards, and how you can use them to create web pages simply and quickly. Highly recommended!

Great book

Everything in this book is explained through a colorful visual image, meaning that you don't have to waste time trying to find the xxx command somewhere on the interface. You don't even have to be at a terminal to learn the software -- read the book, then sit down at a machine and you'll be up and running.
