AOD,
If you want to use Notepad then you are going to have a really good understanding of
HTML, Javascript/Jscript, XML.... or whatever you are going to put in your pages..
Otherwise, stick to frontpage where you can point and click, and it will do everything for you.
Oh, and before anyone else says, Wooahh what a flame. 18 months ago, I was using frontpage until a friend of my said I suck bigtime, and urged me to use notepad and pure code.
Now Im a Web Developer for a company..
