lol Mariner. You aren’t the only one who has that opinion of frontpage.
The reason I use notepad is because of my web-geek friends who would brow-beat me if I used frontpage. I wouldn’t be able to hold my head up! It’s the same crowd who insisted I not used tables (as in ‘tables are gay”) in favour of div’s and css – and man, it’s hard to get a professional 3 column page without tables. (that’s my excuse, and I’m stickin to it).
Dreamweaver is apparently better. That’s what I am told – I know nothing of this stuff. 
Bottom line is whatever works for you is what you need.
And I agree that it makes more sense to spend valuable time getting traffic and sharpening marketing skills. I can’t count the hours I spent making up my crappy code!
