| The
resultant site is pretty
basic because, like
almost all of my previous
sites, this one was built
with the simplest of
programs...FrontPage
Express (FPX). It came
bundled with WIN 98 on my
first computer in 1999. I
haven't had any formal
training in web design.
When I began to build my
very first web site in
2002, I mostly learned
FPX by trial and error. A
few webmaster friends
were willing to answer my
first stupid questions. I
bought a few books on
eBay and searched the
Internet for tutorials.
Little
by little, I
"learned the
ropes" and built a
few simple pages. The
more I worked, the easier
it became. I found ways
to deal with the
sometimes
"quirky" nature
of the simple FPX
program.
Now,
as a retired art teacher,
I regard web page design
as a fresh media for my
expression. I love to
publish and share things
on the Internet with this
new capability. I've
authored sites for alumni
groups, a garden
classroom, an assisted
living facility, my
family, friends and more.
I've
dabbled in other
page-building programs,
but I've grown to love
the simplicity of FPX and
continue to use it almost
exclusively. I think that
it is a great way for a
beginner to learn the
basics.
