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

• Good Starting Point, Worth The Price
11 October, 2001
I read this book a couple of years ago as a fledgling "web master" for a non-profit organization. With virtually no experience in web design before, I was able to complete this book in a weekend and start designing in Front Page. It was the perfect book to get me started. I have since outgrown Front Page and moved up to Dreamweaver which is much better suited for large advanced sites. Though, I still think Front Page is the fastest way to create a simple website and the easiest way to manage a small to medium sized website. Front Page for dummies will give you the essential skills you need to use Front Page and is a quick easy read. Well worth the nominal price of the book.

• Perfect For The Absolute Beginner
12 June, 2007
I knew ZERO about Websites before picking up this book. I tried other books, but they were just confusing. This book enabled me to make a website from scratch & get it up & running in a matter of days. I did this for a business, & have received literally hundreds of compliments on it - from total strangers!

• "fast And Easy" Books Are Much Better
27 January, 2004
After reading "Frontpage '98 - Fast and Easy" when I was using that version of the program, I have to say that this book is not up to the task. Information is unnecessarily repeated, sometimes within the same chapter. It has no flow or momentum towards easily completing a web site. And it curiously contains few illustrations and screen shots for a "Dummy" book. I'm going back to the "fast and Easy" series.

• Not For Dummies
09 January, 2007
I never got past the beginning. Something has been left out of the directions for getting started. I'm sure that advanced users would find this a good reference. But like most text books I've seen, you have to know something about web pages to use the book.

• Front Page For Dummies 2000 Flops!
30 October, 2003
I wanted a book to learn FP 2000, I went straight to the Dummie section. The Dummie proved to be me. First let me say, I have been creating websites for several years in HTML, so I'm not a novice, but this book frustrated me! Poorly written, jumps around until you are confused. Skims each subject, nothing in depth here. A lot of important information is skipped, and 2 chapters are on the CD. So, if you want to use them, you have the expense of printing them yourself! The CD is full of outdated links also. I actually learned more using the tutorial that came with FP 2000, the Dummy book was a complete waste of my limited book funds...
